Chapter 7 - Restaurant

"So you're leaving?"

"After the semester"

Park Junho and Bae Choo-hyun were sitting together as it was still early in the morning this was one of the times they would talk together alone but everyone was used to this and didn't comment on it either despite the two being the most attractive in the whole campus they didn't bother them.

"So where will you be staying?"

"Seoul, what about you didn't you got accepted?"

"It was a joke"

"It isn't a joke Hyun-ah, I know you will and you will debut."

"You're boring you know and stop calling me Hyun-ah."

"I know, so where do you want to go later?"

"I'll eat anywhere as long as you don't feed me chicken."

Junho nodded and knew where to bring her, he thought he would miss her interactions as soon as he would move away he won't lie to himself as she was an attractive girl, no she was one of the most attractive girls he had met.

"Say did you remember what I told you a month ago or two?"

"Which one? You told me lots of stuff"

"Forget it for now"

Junho smiled at her who just rolled her eyes clearly annoyed.

-

Bae Choo-hyun followed Junho as he dragged her to a restaurant she was apprehensive as it looked fancy and expensive, she unconsciously looked at her wallet to see it was only enough for her fare and one meal but the more she looked at the design the more she thought of how expensive it really is.

"Are you sure you got the right place Junho?"

Junho chuckled as he saw Bae Choo-hyun's face, he didn't waste time and held her hand dragging her inside despite her reluctance, as Choo-hyun was dragged inside she saw that none of the staff stopped them she soon found herself sitting on a table and Junho looked at the menu in front of them.

"Yes just follow me and relax Hyun-ah"

Bae Choo-hyun didn't say anything and just looked at the menu in front of her, as soon as she saw it she immediately wanted to get out as it was too expensive especially for students like them.

"Jun-ah this is a bit too much I think you should stop the joke now it's gonna be embarrassing for us if we can't pay later."

Bae Choo-hyun could finally feel the gazes of the staff but she felt it was weird for some reason some of them were laughing, smiling and some of them looked sad until a staff approached them.

"Mr. Park uhm The Head Chef told you to use the box instead."

"Wouldn't that cost more?"

Bae Choo-hyun asked the staff who chuckled, she then saw Junho stand up and grabbed their bags, he then went near her and held her hand.

"Come on Hyun-ah there's too much people here besides it's more private."

"Do you know the owner of this restaurant perhaps?"

"Of course"

Junho dragged her again towards a box, it was private and had an calming atmosphere, to Bae Choo-hyun's surprise everything here was twice more expensive than before she didn't know what to do and instead she followed Junho who was all smiles as if he didn't care, the staff then asked what they would order, Bae Choo-hyun saw that the lowest was Dakgangjeong but even then it was expensive.

"Let them decide please and no Chicken."

"Jun-ah"

"Relax and be calm Hyun-ah besides"

"Besides what"

Junho just smiled and then brought out his phone and took a picture of a confused Bae Choo-hyun.

"Hey!"

Before she could say anything the Head Chef who was Park Yuna, Junho's mother came in with a tray it looked like everything was ready, Junho had already told them that he would bring a friend and they had prepared the table in advance but when they saw that It was Bae Choo-hyun they immediately opened a box and wanted to serve personally instead.

Bae Choo-hyun saw that the woman who was coming towards them was the head chef she immediately flinched, she saw Junho was laughing at her so she immediately kicked him from below.

"Ah Junho is this is your friend?"

"Yep"

"I see, she looks beautiful is she a model? May I get an autograph?"

Bae Choo-hyun was immediately flustered at Park Yuna's comments she shook her head and smiled at her.

"I'm just a regular high school student."

"I suggest you to continue asking for her autograph mom who knows this regular high school student three to five years from now would be the leading visual of the country."

"Mom?"

Bae Choo-hyun then looked at Park Yuna's and Junho's facial features they looked almost exactly the same it was when it hit her.

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Park Yuna, Junho's mother, my Husband cooked this for the two of you he's too busy manning the kitchen, ah enough about him and me here is the food we prepared in advance for the two of you, please be at ease you don't need to pay for anything."

"Ah, Thank you Mrs. Park"

"It's fine I'll leave you two now."

Park Yuna placed the food in front of them, Bae Choo-hyun looked at it, she didn't knew what they were called as it was all foreign to her but she didn't hesitate no longer as soon as she heard what she had said, as soon as Park Yuna was gone she immediately kicked Junho in the shin again.

"That's for not telling me in advance!"

"You're welcome"

-

"How was it?"

Park Hoon asked his wife as she had returned from sending the food.

"I didn't sense anything just friendly banter but who knows, she was beautiful but he did hint she was planning to be an idol so I'd say its up to them in the future but it's a good sign for now."

"Who knows we don't know and I certainly think they don't yet, but what I do know is feelings change and so do people so it's not a stretch to say they'll be friends now strangers later you know full well how that line of work does to relationships."

"I know and just in case we're ready anyway"

-

"You know you could have given me a heads-up in advance"

"It wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"

"I get your point but still I didn't know your family owned this restaurant."

"I don't go sharing to people I'm not close with in fact your one of the few people that know about this."

"Should I feel special or get a medal or something? Jokes aside Jun-ah Your parents cooking is excellent but can you cook?"

"I can its just that I haven't yet you'd be surprised even Mom wanted me to go into culinary school but I refused?"

"Why?"

"It's my dream to perform in the stage I just like the feeling don't you feel the same?"

"Well, yeah of course it's my dream idiot, have you been reading my?"

"Your what?"

"Nothing Jun-ah its getting late already."

"I can give you a ride home"

"You don't have a license"

"I don't need a license"

"You'll get caught"

"I have a bike"

"More reason to not get caught"

"It's a bicycle."

"..."

"Your house is near from here I know, I've seen you walk from time to time here but if you're uncomfortable I can always tell my sister to drive us."

"Its fine bicycle it is"
