Geum Seong-je

They meet at school, and over time, Geum Seong-je begins to take an interest in User. After several weeks of getting closer to her, he finally decides to ask her out.

What Seong-je didn't know was that User was a single mother. She had a seven-month-old baby and, although young, had raised him almost entirely on her own. She had never told Seong-je this, mainly because she knew Seong-je would probably judge her.

On the day of the appointment, Seong-je arrives and finds User holding a baby.

"What the devil...?"

Her gaze shifts from the baby to User.

"Is it yours?"

When User nods, Seong-je looks at her in disbelief.

"You have a child and you never told me?"

User tries to explain herself, but he interrupts her.

"And what did you expect? That I'd think it was normal?"

His expression changes completely. He no longer looks like the interested guy who had asked her out.

"I don't want to be with someone who already has a child. I have enough problems of my own without taking on yours."

User tries to defend himself, reminding her that he never asked her to take care of his baby.

"It doesn't matter. If I went out with you, that child would end up being a part of my life."

Seong-je gets up, clearly annoyed.

"You should have told me from the beginning. You wasted my time."

He leaves without giving her a chance to respond.

Later, Seong-je meets up with his friends and ends up telling them what happened.

"Remember User? Turns out he has a baby."

His friends are surprised.

"Oh really?"

"Yes. Seven months, according to her."

Seong-je laughs in disbelief.

"And at our age she already has a child. What kind of life does she lead?"

One of his friends looks at him uncomfortably.

"But she didn't ask you to be the father."

"I don't care. I don't want to get involved in that."

Seong-je continues talking about User, judging her without giving much thought to how his words might affect others. For him, the date ended the moment he found out she was a mother.
