Suyoung and I went to an upmarket Chinese restaurant that offered a dinner set menu with 8 courses.
Great.
Although I had to tell her that I wasn't really up for prawns.
After a brief mention of Minji's tragic death, which neither of us wanted to dwell on for too long, and some general chit-chat about how life has been, Suyoung started to bring up a subject that I've never been too happy to talk about as the shark's fin soup arrived.
"So, are you seeing anyone now?"
Well, I wanted to say I was, and yes, technically I was.
But if I told her that I was she'd definitely shower me with a barrage of questions about what he's like and all that. So it was better just to deny, to which she replied with a surprising enthusiasm.
"Great!"
What the heck is so great about that?
"Erm, OK. How about you?"
"Ah, I'm too busy to date anyone. But it sounds like your workload is on the light side, right?"
