Alex:"You little i can read your mind and that expression...shut up"

Jong soo trembles

They resume looking at the menu and ordering

Alex:"Entire restaurant?"

Kim:"Yes"

Alex laughs

Joo won:"what's wrong?"

Alex:'actually,this move looks like straight out of a korean drama?"

Joo won:"Korean drama?'

Alex:"This is a common plot line in most dramas,where a rich handsome CEO falls for a girl,gets the entire restaurant to have dinner"

Joo won looks amazed

Joo won:"what else does he do"

Alex:'you look curious sir,i like it,he rents out entire amusement park.they both have fun together"

Joo won:"Amusement park? it's for ids"

Alex:"No,its for blossoming love in dramas"

Joo won:"Do women like such childish stuff?"

Alex:"They love it"

Shin Min smiles

Alex then starts to taste the dishes

"oh this chicken is very crispy"

He asks the waiter whether he can come over the kitchen and watch you making it

He drags jong soo along with him

Alex:"Excuse me sir,we will be right back"

Shin Min texts Kim

"let us shift to another table"

Kim"why?"

Shin Min:"you dimwit,that way we can have our date and give these two some privacy"

Kim looks at her and nods

Shin Min:'madam,the table at that corner has a good painting,i wish to click some photos over there and have my dinner there,Mr.Joo won if you don't mind"

Joo won nods

Shin Min:"Mr.kim would you please accompany me,i mean to take pictures"

Kim looks at Joo won

Joo won is more than happy to let him go

Shin Min and kim rushes towards the table

Shin Min:"We are on a date at such a grand restaurant,i feel so happy"

Kim:'me too"

Meanwhile

Alex at the kitchen annoys the chef with questions

Jong soo:"Stop it,otherwise they will throw as out"

Alex:'stop you little,note down their tips,it will be really helpful"

Joo won looks at Sun ri

Joo won:"Did you like the place?'

Sun ri:"Yeah it's good"

Joo won:"I don't think you liked the food much?"

Sun ri:"Why?"

Joo won:'You didn't seem to have much?"

Sun ri:"I have not been to restaurants in a while"

Joo won:"Really?"

joo won looks at her

Joo won:"Do you hate socializing,i mean you have good communication skills"

Sun ri remains silent

Joo won:"You don't laugh much?"

Sun ri:"I dont have the right to do?"

Joo won:"Right? there is no such thing,also you didn't seem to talk much today?'

Sun ri remains silent

Joo won:"So for you to talk again that way,i need to slide down a valley,get fainted,remain in that state for a few hours,making you pray for me to wake up and talk to me"

Sun ri smiles

Shin Min and Kim looks at them

Shin Min:"Madam is smiling,looks there is something going on there"

Kim:"Even i feel so,after the trip sir looked so happy,Even sirr's mother is curious about the reason"

Shin Min:"Did you tell her anything?"

Kim:"How can I? when iam not sure!"

Shin Min:"that's true"

Meanwhile jong soo feels tortured in the kitchen

He tries to run away

Alex;'Where are you going?"

Jong soo:"to the bathroom"

Alex;'Ah,he always finds excuses to skip work"

Jong soo goes to the rest room and relaxes there

Jong soo:"What a relief..this oldman is going to kill me someday"

Joo won:"do you know you have great skills in comforting people,you say spread your warmth,don't hide it behind cold attitude..doesn't it apply it to you"

Sun ri looks at him smiles

"my words seems to have a deep impact on you"

Joo won smiles

"yes they did Ms.canary bird,you have a lasting impact with your work and your words on anyone"

Sun ri:"sometimes the easiest job is to comfort and hardest is to get comforted"

Joo won:"That's because of the boundaries you build"

Sun ri:"Do you think people build boundaries,times,circumstances,memories,scars all these come together to build these unbreakable boundaries"

Joo won:"I agree that these will build boundaries but calling them unbreakable is an act of cowardice"

Sun ri looks angry

Joo won:'what being called coward makes you angry?it is the way it is,will power,love,warmth can melt these boundaries..only if you allow it"

Sun ri gives it a thought

Joo won:"Ok have your dinner first"

smiles

Alex comes out of the kitchen,he notices kim and shin min sitting at a separate table(thinks):"ah these love birds "smiles

He joins joo won and sun ri

Sun ri:"did you get the recipes"

Joo won feels little hesitant and embarassed

Kim wakes jong soo

"jong soo,wake up"
