[Diary entry #17: February 18, 2020]

Someone help me.

I spent a sleepless night reading all of those messages and had a hard time rejecting their senders in a polite manner. I'm afraid I sounded rude or they would not back off.

Moreover, I didn't reject them all, which means that they could still pester me if they wanted.

For example, I had no issues rejecting Seonghwa's friends, Gageum and Chaeyeon, as they understood that I wasn't that into them and that we are too different.

I also found out that a former classmate of mine, Song Sejeong, was in the list. She accepted that we couldn't be more than friends and gladly moved on, wishing me the best (this is the first time a girl has ever made me such a compliment).

The problem is, I had a hard time rejecting three girls, the most persistent ones and probably the ones I have the least interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with.

One of them is none other than Seonghwa herself. Why is she so interested in me? Can't she see I'm just an ordinary guy with few to no attractive points? Can't she just move on and accept that I'll never be her type?

I initially considered ghosting her, hoping that she'll never talk to me again, but it was absolutely no use. She'd still try to talk to me and leave more and more text messages. (Did I tell you that Mom gave her my number?)

I had to be really blunt with her and those two other girls, of whom I can't even recall their names.

Sorry, but you're not really my type.
