“I told you guys, I really don’t want this.” Yongguk whines as he sighs down onto his sofa. He stares at his two best friends, Yifan and Dongwoo, who are sitting on the other two couches opposite from each other. 

“Are you an idiot?” Yifan asks, causing Yongguk to pout to himself and fumble with his thumbs as if he was a child being scolded by parents. “Guk, you’ve been single for, what, 6 years now? It’s about time you find someone that suits you.”

“Aish, I’m happy the way I am!”

“Really,” Dongwoo says this time, “are you really happy? You’re turning 25 next week and you’re happy? Hm…”

Yongguk continues to pout. It’s not his fault he’s more interested in writing his raps and music rather than having a love life. Sure, he’s been single for a long time but it seems to bother his friends more than himself. 

He’s the type of man who likes to have a cup of bitter, dark coffee while working diligently on his music. Romantics and dates and fluff and rainbows and unicorns don’t suit him.

He doesn’t like a lot on his birthdays either. He doesn’t like to get stuff from people let it be a blind date. His preference of a birthday is when he’s home alone, sleeping, doing work, watching TV and literally doing nothing.

“Next week,” Yifan begins as he slams his palm onto the table. “We set you up on a blind date. It’s on your birthday so you won’t forget. A great birthday present, isn’t it?”

Yongguk pouts again and gives a nod. He hears Dongwoo and Yifan laugh and they high five each other. “Anyway, I should be going now. Yixing doesn’t like it when I’m late for him.” 

“Yeah, me too, my Hoya baby is waiting for me.” And with that and a few pats on Yongguk’s back, the two left the fellow’s apartment. He sighs to himself and slumps back down onto his couch. 

“25…” Yongguk said as he reminded his birthday was in a week. “25 and still single…”
