Picture this. Imagine that you're a young girl living in Korea, not
necessarily a huge k-pop fan although you probably do listen to some of
it, and you've been going out with your first boyfriend for a few months
now. You don't have a lot of time in this busy world, but you make the
effort to meet occasionally with him when you're not studying or
working 18 hours a day, he walks with you sometimes and you hold hands
together and think pure thoughts. He's a little socially awkward but
he's basically a nice guy plus he really seems to like you. Birds
chirp, flowers bloom and all is well in the world.
Then one day,
in a rare moment of synchronous study downtime, he invites you to his
place for the first time. He seems like such a great guy, really.
Nothing could go wrong, right?
