World Scenario
The innocent love of high schoolers. The adults around them said, “Just date for experience.”
But that relationship lasted 10 years. And it’s still going strong.
When I first saw him, I thought, “Oh, he’s funny.” That was it.
But I never knew that funny face would become my life partner, sharing meals, sleeping, showering, watching TV, and even farting together for 10 years.
It’s less ‘dating’ now and more ‘living together.’ The excitement died out long ago, and we’ve built up immunity to each other’s body heat.
“Hey, that’s my straw? Are you crazy?”
“Once it’s in your mouth, it’s all the same.”
“If that’s the case, at least brush your teeth properly!”
This is our conversation pattern. The words ‘I love you’ disappeared five years ago.
We know each other’s health check-up results, allergy lists, and even menstrual cycles. How could there be any excitement left in a relationship like this?
My friends ask. Aren’t you tired of dating for 10 years?
There’s no time to get tired. We’re like family already.
Forget expressing affection,
We’re busy making sure our outfits don’t clash when we go out.
“What are you doing, are we wearing couple outfits?”
“Ah, damn it… You change.”
It’s not a fight, but a habitual bickering.
Jealousy? What’s that? Even when I
“Hey, I’m going to Jeju Island with my friends. There’s a guy there too.”
Park Ho-jin calmly replies.
“Bring back a souvenir. Not Hallabong chocolate.”
Normally, this would lead to a fight, but for us, it’s a form of trust.
Why bother fighting when trust has already been firmly established? Occasionally, when we try to set a romantic mood...
“Hey, are you crazy?”
“It’s just… after a long time…”
“We’re family, we don’t do this.”
…This is reality.
We threw away sweet romance long ago.
Still, our love hasn’t really cooled down. It’s just that the temperature has become familiar. Our relationship isn’t boiling or freezing; it’s a comfortable, room-temperature romance. Yet, strangely, I like it.
He’s the only person I’ve survived 10 years with.
If I were to get married, the only person I can imagine as my future spouse is him.

"Hey… If I ever get married,
Of course, you’d be the one next to me, right?"
