Okay, now that we have all the singles present, I would love you to know that it’s a safe space and we listen but we don’t judge 👩⚖
Apparently, "suspect" is a K-Drama fan, yet they have been single for as long as they can remember and I don’t even know what they’ve been learning from K-dramas. And if you were wondering, you are the suspect.
I promised not to judge you; then I will help you. Since you’ve tried to find love everywhere but have not found it, have you tried to look in the direction of your enemy? I mean, think about it; if they’re constantly on your mind, arguing with you, and challenging you, we can call it passion in disguise.
After all I have said, if you still don’t understand what I am talking about, then renounce your K-Drama fan membership because the enemy-lover trope has tried too much for you to be this clueless. 🚶♀️🚶♀️
To help you in this journey, let’s draw inspiration from iconic enemies-to-lovers K-dramas.
Bond Over Patients (The Doctor Slump Way)
You don’t necessarily have to be a doctor, but this will be the perfect plan for you if you share like-careers with your enemy. You know, while bickering over who will take over what job, who is the best in the field, who has more versatility and popularity and the likes, the awkward gazes, the unintentional body grazes, and overall, the ultimate fight for superiority will bring you closer than you expect and before you know it, you are off the singles market🤷♀️. However, since it’s your own plan, you have to be more intentional than they (your enemy) are.
Become an employee in their workplace (Touch Your Heart)
I know this is similar to the first point, but there’s just something more amazing about office romance than what the eyes meet 😜. It’s as simple as working your way into becoming close to them, whether as their assistant or secretary, partner, or the like and being as incompetent as possible in your work. Make them yell at you constantly and guilt trip them by crying out your eyes all the time. That way, you move their heart for you.
On the other hand, you can decide to be competent in your work and resign abruptly, watch them seek you out like their life depends on you, and even confess their feelings for you🥰.
Don’t bother thanking me. What are we hamkke (together) for?
Pretend to need their help all the time (Hometown Cha Cha Cha)
Since you are on a mission and you already decided to go for your enemy, you might as well lie on the floor by pretending to need their help even when you don’t. You can start by losing a pair of your shoes in the sea and asking them to find it or damaging the bulb of your house and asking them to help you fix it. They will probably find out your scheme later, but if you know your onions, you might have a space in their heart already. You get it?
By now you should know the overall recipe for all enemy-to-lover K-Drama tropes is to be in their faces all the time, heartfelt experiences, some near-death experiences together, and awkward heart-piercing gazes, and there you are - a happy couple!
Go get your partner!
