Before I can even reply to what he said. He distracted me by saying something.

"Look at the sunset, it's beautiful." Jay Hyung said pointing outside the window.

It is indeed beautiful. A beautiful sunset to end a beautiful day. I always love sunsets, when I was young my grandmother always brings me to the nearest beach to watch the sunset with her. According to grandma, sunsets may symbolize an ending but she doesn't care if something is going to end as long as it's beautiful.

I was so confused about that before to the point that I questioned grandma if she likes endings? She did not answer me though, she just laughed. Whenever I see sunsets I miss my grandma, I wish I could visit her in the province.

"Do you like sunsets?" I suddenly look back at Jay and raised my eyebrows. Did I stare at the sunset for so long?

"Ah yeah, I used to look at it every day when I was young," I said then look down at the papers to divert my attention. I can feel Jay nod his head after hearing what I said.

"So we're done for today, I'll see you tomorrow same time and place," I said while fixing my things in my bag and about to leave.

"Wait, it's almost 7 pm already. Let me treat you dinner," Is that a question or a demand? I didn't even get the chance to reply to him so I just followed him outside. We went inside his car which is parked inside the university it is not a long walk though, the university is just a few walks from the cafe. I sat at the back and he gave me a look that I couldn't explain.

"What?" I said.

"Do I look like a driver to you? Sit here." He said tapping the shotgun seat. Well, I thought he doesn't wanna seat beside me.

I thought we are going to eat on a fast-food chain or just a simple food place around the city, but guess what? He freaking brought me to a very fancy restaurant and I am just wearing my sweater. I did not imagine that my first time eating out at a restaurant like this is that I am on my sweater, I could've worn something better. Anyways I did not expect this coming tho~

"Here's your seat Mr. Park." The waitress said and offered us a table for two. The whole place was really elegant and I can see rich people eating foods that I don't even understand. I already knew they were rich because of their clothes and accessories.

"Are we really eating here? Isn't this place very expensive?" I asked him after roaming my eyes around the restaurant.

"I can afford it tho" He replied still looking at the menu.

"So, what's yours?" He asked pointing to the menu on the table. I look at it and I really do not know what these foods are, I just knew we are at an Italian Restaurant.

"Uhh. I don't know... I'll order the same thing like yours." I said and I heard him chuckle a little then called the waiter.

"2 Risotto Formaggio, 2 Pasta Primavera, and we'll have water for drinks," Jay said.

After minutes of waiting the first pair of foods came, oh so we have to finish this first before getting the next? huh? Oh nevermind.

"Are you leaving alone Jungwon?" Jay suddenly asked. I gave him a nod in response to his question.

"Why are you working though? If it's okay to ask."

"Ahh... because my eoma cannot afford my college funds anymore and I really want to finish college," I said. I don't know but I am getting comfortable with Jay's presence. I start calling him Jay because he said that he is not old enough to be called Hyung hahaha but sometimes I still call him Jay Hyung.

"My father is paying you, right? Isn't it enough?" He asked.

"Mr. Park pays me enough for my rent and bills but I also need daily allowance that is why I continued working at the cafe," I said and smiled a little at the end.

"I can pay you double if you'll tutor me 5 times a week,"
