wah I love the premise of this so much, the trenches of modern dating through the joshhong pov - it's so perfect, especially his vague passivity but also not wanting to "settle" (hmm!) and I really liked the shift in tone of What if he could try being someone else tonight?
I enjoyed all the little details throughout, like the cafe-hopping tactic and the damp shared cigarette - the story feels so real even with just a single scene. Thank you for sharing!!
