"My partner is just a male friend."
So-mang Park wants to have a relationship at least once in her teens. But true love leading to a dreamy romantic marriage is just a crazy delusion that'll never happen. In reality, So-mang Park and the word "date" just don't belong together. Then one day a ray of hope shines upon her. Is this what flirting is? This is a story of a cheerful yet delusional girl's quest for romance.
