Oh Hayoung, Winner.

"It's you who keeps insisting on all this dating thing. Just accept it unnie, you're going to lose. Go prepare that checkbook of yours, it won't be cheap." I mocked her.

She poked my cheeks, she usually does that when she's angry.

Let me say, at this point I'm totally bored and gave up with dating that I even told my grandparents, but I still do it for unnie, it's entertaining to annoy her, it's my new hobby.

I'll admit that I've ruined some of the dates just to see her reaction but sometimes —like this complete mess of a date—, bizarre things happen naturally period. It's nonsense.

"Whatever, how are you doing with the MP3R or whatever?" She said after a while.

"hahaha It's MMORPG short for massively multiplayer online role-playing game" I corrected her and she just rolled her eyes, "it's going slowly but at least the server didn’t fall with the last test, it's strenuous... if I don’t have a decent game we won't get the investment." I sighed. I'll get older faster if I keep sighing like that.

Even if she has no idea of ​​what I'm talking about sometimes, at least she listens to me well.

"Cheer up, it'll come out, you're the best programmer I know... in fact, the only one I know... But I know that the result will be incredible, I saw the last designs of the characters, they're great."

She always tries to cheer me up, she's quite nice as a friend.

"Those guys of your developing team are pretty good, talking about them... does any of them get your attention?" But there she goes again, Agent Joo came back, she's annoying as a cupid.

Sometimes I would like her to forget this stupid bet, be friends, talk, go out and laugh without mentioning the subject.

"They are like my family, I would never see them any other way." It sounded colder than I wanted. "Seriously, can we talk about this another day? Now I'm not in the mood." She nodded and patted me on the head, she has that habit too.

"It's okay, I understand. But I'll get you someone, next time I'll check the allergy list better. For now, what if we go and try that new restaurant I told you about last time? Of course, after making sure the poor man is better."

After an hour the nurse notified us that poor man was better and they were waiting for his family, so we went to the restaurant that unnie chose. 

I was hungry, I didn't even eat at the date before because suddenly that man started coughing and turning blue.

When we go out there is usually a tour of incredible meals, she's exceptional at looking for great places to eat. Although I am sensitive to spices there's always some dish that I can try. 

Unnie looks for them, is quite considerate, I feel quite comfortable with her.

"This time it seems serious, did I mention how polite he was? He opened the door like a gentleman and was attentive to what I said"

…Another boyfriend, it's the third since I've known her.

Each time is the same, they’re perfect until it ends a few weeks later.

"I feel like it's the right one" she continued pestering me with the boyfriend talk again. What bothers me the most is that she barely knows him.

Her cheeks were pink, maybe it's the heat of the sauna, we were in the steam room.

"Unnie, you just met him 3 weeks ago, you can’t just deduce he's perfect. He could be a maniac, you don’t know anything about his past, his police record, or if there are any hereditary mental illnesses in his family tree" I listed and she laughed.

"Hayoung-ah! You are being overprotective again. Remember, I am the older one here, I must take care of you." she said ignoring all my advice. Why do I bother?

"And you keep sending me to dates with totally unknown human beings almost every week... I'm just saying you should know him better."

"My Hayoung-ie, you're so cute when you're jealous." She pinched my cheeks.

but this time it didn't calm me down. Instead, it hurt.

"I'm not jealous! I just think you shouldn’t fantasize about everyone you meet, it's annoying." I left the place, it was suffocating.

Jealous me? Why should I be?!

Sometime later she appeared with a pat-bingsoo for two.

"Come on! another round? I'll win this one, Pump It Up is my specialty" I said letting my competitive side to get out again.

We had spent the last 2 hours in a retro video game room.

"Yah! I'm tired, let's eat something. Just accept I won last time. Hayoung-ah, what do you crave today?" she said pressing under her ribs, because of the pain.

"You choose today unnie. I’ll accept whatever you suggest"

The truth is that I kn
