How to Date an International Student (Lai Guanlin)

Hi! I'm Kim Yeo-ju!! I'm a very pretty 22-year-old.

I revealed my boyfriend on social media a while ago, right? After that, I got a lot of questions via DMs asking, "How did we start dating?" and "How did I seduce him?"



So, since I can't answer each and every one of your questions, I'm writing this!



The way I met my boyfriend was...





//





One day, I went to school to attend a lecture. The first, second, and third periods were all back-to-back, and after finishing the first lecture, I was on my way to the second when the professor called to say there was a free period. Suddenly, I had about an hour and a half left until the third lecture.



So I went to the cafeteria to eat alone?



I got my food and sat down, and who was sitting next to me?



Looking to the side...



He's so handsome... sitting there eating so chicly...



His face was the epitome of handsome and warm, and his height was as tall as a pole, so he was definitely straight out of a comic book.



Now listen carefully from here on out. This is important.




I finished eating, but the person next to me was still eating, so I pretended it was a mistake and left my bag behind, leaving the restaurant.



I was walking slowly, very slowly, mindful of what was behind me, when someone called out urgently from behind.




When I look back





"Hey!!"





Why a foreign language?

"You left your bag behind"





What?




At that moment, I realized, "Oh no. It's ridiculous. I did that in front of an international student."




"Ou..thank you..."




I somehow got over it by saying thank you in the English I learned in elementary school.



however...



"You're not good at English?"




He spoke Korean (that fucking xx)




"Huh? Weren't you a foreigner?"



"Yes, foreigners."



"But why..."



"I lived in Korea for a while when I was young, then returned to my home country for high school and then came back to study abroad."




Your Korean is very well... You speak Korean really fluently?




"Oh, I see... Oh, I see..."




I was about to speak out, upset at being tricked, but then I realized it would be easier to persuade him than to talk. So I spoke more carefully.





"That... bag... thank you. If you have time, I'd like to eat something. I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

"It's okay..."



"I'm grateful, that's why."



"Then... okay."

(cafe)




"What's your name?"



"Lai Guanlin, what about you?"



"Kim Yeo-ju"

"Yeoju...what a pretty name."



"That's a pretty name too..."



"Oh, how old are you?"



"I'm 21 years old."



"Am I your older sister? I'm 22 years old..."



"Really? Then let's talk."



"Okay, good. But you speak Korean really well."



"I lived in Korea for about 10 years before returning to Taiwan."



"I see... but what major are you in?"



"I'm a Korean literature major."



"Huh? You're a foreigner... in Korean Literature?"



"Yes, that's why I studied Korean a lot. That's why I came as an exchange student..."



"Awesome, you're... awesome."





That "cool" comment wasn't meant to be flirty, it was genuine. It's not that hard for a foreigner to get into a Korean literature department, which even most Koreans struggle to get into.

"You think it's cool? LOL"



"Oh yeah, you're cool!! At first, I thought you were a model. You're tall and handsome."



"Am I handsome?"



"Yeah, you're really handsome."



"No... Jihoon hyung is more handsome."



"Who is Jihoon hyung?"



"Oh, there's a guy in the same department named Park Ji-hoon."



"Korean Literature Department... Park Ji-hoon... Oh, maybe he's my friend?"



"Noona, are you friends with Jihoon?"



"Yeah, best friend."



"Oh... I see."



"What makes a dog handsome? You're much more handsome."


photo
"Really?? Huh.."



"Oh really, Park Ji-hoon's dog isn't that great."




(Park Ji-hoon's questionable first loss)




Jihoon, I know it's late now, but I'm sorry for selling you out.



Oh anyway



Still, thanks to that bastard Park Ji-hoon, we felt like we had something in common and became closer.




"What's your ideal type, older sister?"



"I like tall guys. They give me a warm feeling when I hug them."



"oh..."



I just kept screaming inwardly, "Tonight, you're not the owner... you're my ideal type!" Seriously...



"But, sis... I have class... so I have to go..."



"Oh, right. I have class too. I forgot."



"Then do you want to go together?"



"okay!"



"Hey, can you give me your number?"



"Of course. Give me your phone. I'll take a picture."



Fortunately, Gwan-rin had a good personality and was bright, so we became close quickly.




Well, after that...it was a breeze.



After class, we met up and went out for dinner, and that day I confessed to him lol



I have a very proactive personality and can never drag things out, so even if I get dumped, I confess honestly.



But he accepted it lol



How did we end up dating like this?



Actually, I think I bragged more than helped, but I hope it helped even a little.



Well then, I'm off for now!!





Author: Yes, now that Ji-sung has written the sequel, it's over... I've already spent a whole week on it... After Ji-sung finishes writing the sequel, I'll release a new work and take a short break for a week or two before coming back for another one.



Sonting!!!!!!!!
