Synopsis
Woman reunites with childhood neighbor who's now 6 years younger and persistently pursues her romantically despite age gap objections.
Someone from the next door who I almost spent the night with while drunk turned out to be Jung Woo-gyeom, the little kid who lived in the neighborhood 12 years ago. But Woo-gyeom, who I met again after 9 years, is a bit strange. He asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend and then kissed me right away. Now he says he wants to be my real boyfriend. How can I date you when you're 6 years younger than me? How can Lee Jin avoid dating Woo-gyeom, who is like a bulldozer? (Source: Naver, translated)
