She and he had been together for the past three years, and during all this time, he loved her madly, and vice-versa, though he was annoying sometimes and she got angry at him for his lame jokes and whatever.

Dina met Jongdae at summer camp. They were paired up together. The first thing that came to her mind was the idea of him being a total jerk and ruining her summer, but he turned out to be a very nice guy, a charmer that she fell for head over heels.

After summer camp, she thought she’d never see him again. Her heart ached a bit. How could she get attached badly to someone she barely knew?

Until one night, Jongdae called her.

She was flabbergasted, wondering how he got her phone number. It turned out that Sara, her best friend, was also his friend.  Since that midnight call, they’ve been going out on dates together. Jongdae didn’t miss a chance to show her how much he loved being around her, and spending most of his time with her.

She was sitting in her room, when she got a call, at midnight once more, and it was him. It was kind of weird how he only called her at late hours. She picked up and was surprised when he said that he was waiting outside her house.

Since that day, Dina and Jongdae started a serious relationship. Those two were inseparable, glued to each other most of the time.

They’d go shopping together, watch TV together, and cook together…

It was true that Jongdae was two years older than Dina, and it was also true that she had plans for her studies, but she was a love-struck teenager, so she signed in the same college as him.

Her mother somehow managed to find out that her daughter had a boyfriend. Being the nosy person, the mother wanted to know more about the guy who stole Dina’s heart.

“Why don’t you invite him for dinner?”  The older woman proposed. Dina felt uneasy; her mother was too curious for her own good. The poor girl was obedient and had no other choice but to fulfill her mother’s request.

Jongdae was able to gain her parent’s praise; he was polite, sweet, and protective. So the parents approved of him as a boyfriend for their only child.
