He chuckled and spoke out, "Don't show that expression. That was just a joke."
"I don't believe that I was showing any special expression," she voiced out.
"What is it? You are annoyed? This makes me happy. Doesn't this mean that you are comfortable to show other sides of yours to me?" he said cheerfully.
"I get annoyed with my rivals as well," she pointed out.
"Way to go and ruin all of my enthusiasm. But you like me more now, right? My position in your heart elevated, right?" he questioned, blinking his eyes at her and trying to appear cute.
"Oh! Was it supposed to be that way? I haven't given it a thought," Chaerin bluntly answered.
"Nevermind, you are still cold," he stated, "At least you can tell me what you feel about the food I cooked and compliment me."
"It's nothing praiseworthy. I have eaten better." The look on Chaerin's face had become impassive.
He chuckled and vocalised, "I must be crazy to find this side of yours cute as well."
Raising his hand, he ran them through his hair while the smiling expression on his face remained. Jung Chaerin's eyes widened, and her concentration on the food was disturbed at the moment.
She couldn't believe that she thought that the man before her looked attractive in that moment. Her heart skipped a beat when he called her cute, and slowly, she could feel her cheeks heating up.
Jung Chaerin was ashamed of herself for acting so inexperienced. However, she was unable to help it. No matter how she tried to look at him, Ryu Seyoon was extremely mesmerising.
Bringing his hand closer to her mouth, he wiped away the remnants of the food. His hand felt warm at the contact yet it managed to deliver chills down her spine.
"If you keep on staring at me, I wouldn't be able to hold myself back. I am a man," he voiced out, as his eyes held a certain glint to them.
With curiosity present in her voice, Chaerin asked, "How am I looking at you?"
Pure inquisitiveness— that was the only thing in her mind when she asked that question. Chaerin was unable to decipher what she felt, and that's why, she believed that he would be able to have a clue to it.
After all, he did a decent job at reading her at times, and maybe this time around too he will be able to read her like a open book— especially since she wasn't trying to conceal anything right now.
Bringing his thumb closer to his mouth, he licked it sensually and said, "Just like how I am staring at you. With desire in your eyes. If you don't want me to pounce on you, please stop it, Jung Chaerin-ssi. When it comes to you, I barely have any self-control."
Seeing the unabashed expression on his face after those words left his mouth only caused her to blush harder, and Chaerin turned to look at the other way.
"That's absolutely absurd," she expressed.
