Chapter 4 - Our first dinner

Ai and Noah were sitting at the dinner table, waiting for the promised food to come, like hungry little children.

Ai(Chewing on her chopstick)- How much longer should we wait?!

Noah(laughing)- It's funny how you always seem so mature but you're acting like a kid at the dinner table.

Ai(Taking the chopstick out of her mouth)- Did I ask?

Noah- No....?

Ai- Then why did you speak? It's bad manners to speak at the dinner table.

Noah- But you were chewing on your chopstick moments ago.

Ai's mom(Screaming from the kitchen)- ARE YOU CHEWING ON THE CHOPSTICK AGAIN?! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT SOMEHOW WENT INSIDE YOUR FOOD PIPE AND GOT STUCK THERE?!

Ai- Come on... That can't happen. It's not like I'm giving the chopstick a blowj---

Ai's mom(Screaming from the kitchen)- MIND YOUR LANGUAGE INSIDE THE HOME!!

Noah- Yeah... You shouldn't say these words in front of an innocent little kid like me.

Ai- You're innocent? Hah!! Taking advantage of a girl when she's unconscious and holding her hand---

Noah- OKAY!! OKAY!! I WON'T SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE!! SORRY!!

Ai's mom comes to the dinner table with three bowls of rice and three servings of Gyoza.

Ai- Uhm... What kind of pathetic excuse of a dinner is this?!

Ai's mom- Did you expect me to cook restaurant-like food for you?

Ai- You know... This is the only reason I don't eat at home nowadays.

Ai's mom- Then you don't have to eat it. But guess what? You don't have any money left to waste on junk food either.

Noah- Umm... Can I get a spoon?

Ai- We're not cultureless bastards. We don't use those around here.

Ai's mom- My my... I didn't think you would be unable to eat using chopsticks. Seeing how fluent you were made me think that you knew how to use chopsticks. It's one of the basic necessities, you know?

Noah- I can use it for eating noodles but I'm not too confident about rice...

Ai- Just take the bowl close to your mouth and push it into your mouth...

Noah- What if it falls?

Ai- Then mom will just have to take care of it. It's not a big deal...

Ai's mom- Ai... I am not a slave... I am your mother...

Noah- Uhm... I'll pick it up.

Ai's mom- Ah... It feels great to see that not everyone is mannerless like my daughter...

Noah- Nah... I think she's just genuinely heartless.

Ai's mom- I couldn't agree more.

Ai- Why did my house suddenly turn into an Anti-Ai-Group?

Noah- How about calling us Anti-Ai-Alliance instead? Or how about the Anti-Ai-Army?

Ai- I will kill you.

Noah- I or Ai?

Ai(Takes Noah's bowl in front of Noah's mouth and forcefully fills his mouth with rice)- Stop making these stupid puns.

Ai's mom- My my... You guys are acting as if you've known each other for years even though you've only known each other for only one day.

Ai- Ah? What are you trying to imply?

Ai's mom- Nothing... I'm just seeing young love blossom.

Ai- You think I'd fall for someone like him? Within a single day?!

Noah(Barely being able to talk)- You might...

Ai- Hah?! I don't know how you feel about me but I don't feel like that.

Noah- Do you want to know how I feel?

Ai- No?

Noah- Let's swap chests... Let's see how hard my heart beats inside you.

Ai- That's scientifically not---

Noah- Come on... This is the only good pickup line I've ever made in my life. Give me some credit. Did it make your heart flutter?

Ai- That pickup line was stupid...

Ai's mom- Speaking of pickups... Why did you pick him up and take him here?

Ai- Uhm... You see... It's.... Complicated...
