<Welcome to the Marriage Information Company> Is Real Marriage Possible? [24]

Nickname

“It would be fun to come up with a nickname, but it's not urgent, so maybe we can think about it later?”

“Let's think about a nickname~! Okay!!”

Apparently, a very small number of people who are destined to be together don't use common terms of endearment and instead use nicknames.

I never thought that opportunity would come to me, but the day after we started dating,

my boyfriend suggested that we choose nicknames for each other.

We considered the most common ones like 'honey', 'darling', and even English names, but surprisingly, choosing a nickname wasn't easy.

“I thought about nicknames a bit more last night! How about Princess?”

“Uh… I've never been called Princess before.”

“Then, I'll try calling you that occasionally, and if it feels awkward or if you get goosebumps too often, we'll change it.”

Honestly, I thought we'd just jokingly use it a few times while texting and then stop.

But my boyfriend called me by the nickname with genuine affection, not in a teasing way.

At first, it was funny and embarrassing, then I felt shy and awkward, and I burst out laughing.

Even though it was ticklish and embarrassing, it felt good. This is what dating is all about!

So, what's my boyfriend's nickname?

Oppa.

Fortune Teller Cafe

When I started dating my boyfriend, we shared our dating horror stories.

My biggest incident was getting ghosted after getting a fortune telling compatibility reading,

and my boyfriend shared a story about a woman he met through a matchmaking service. She was beautiful, had a great job,

and was generally very nice. But at the end of their conversation, she said, “I got a DUI, so I don't have a driver's license anymore,”

and it completely shattered his image of her.

Truly, there are all sorts of people in the world, both men and women.

One day, while we were having dinner in Ikseondong and then having a date at a cafe,

my boyfriend suddenly suggested that we go to a fortune teller cafe to get our fortunes read.

Almost spontaneously, we walked into a small fortune teller cafe located in an accessories store.

We'd each gone to get our fortunes read alone or with friends before, but this was the first time we'd gone hand-in-hand as a couple.

The owner, who seemed to be in their 40s or 50s, checked our birth charts and started with my boyfriend's reading.

As those who have gotten their fortunes read before know, they are incredibly accurate when it comes to the past.

And because it's like an MBTI test, it reveals your personality, tendencies, and things to be cautious about,

so it's worth taking note of.

“Your boyfriend fell in love at first sight.”

I immediately looked at my boyfriend. He smiled silently and nodded.

They said that he was a person who was quite picky about women and that it was hard for him to find someone he liked.

Then, after glancing at it for a moment, the fortune teller exclaimed in a voice several octaves higher.

“Wow~ Wow~ The woman is no pushover either!”

Her voice sped up as if she'd seen something incredibly amazing.

“Wow~ She's a real ‘Confucian Girl’ with impenetrable walls, but her defenses have crumbled a bit this year.

Your boyfriend has slipped through that crack, and it's almost like his ancestors were worried about him and helped him out.

She chose him. He must have put in a lot of effort.”

I mean… how do they get that kind of information from a fortune telling reading?

In conclusion, they said that we both have similar ideal types and that we get along well, and that we complement each other in terms of our fortunes.

He was satisfied, and I was embarrassed and hung my head.

When they asked if we had any more questions, I was completely knocked out by the ‘Confucian Girl’ revelation and didn't have anything else to ask.

“You both have marriage luck coming up next year, so continue dating well!”

As we left the amazing fortune teller cafe, a wave of various emotions surged through me.

My boyfriend said that if there had been any bad news, he would have kept going to fortune tellers until he got good news.

He wanted to erase my trauma.

He'd also noticed my anxiety about physical intimacy and reassured me that he would wait as long as it took.

It was a day when I was so happy and overjoyed that I felt like I might cry.
