"So, what do you do? Are you in university too or are you already working?" you ask Hyunjin while poking at your food. He smiles over at you before glancing up as he takes a moment to think.

"Well, I'm currently in my last year of university." He states before taking a bite of his food. He then takes a few seconds to finish chewing and swallowing his food. "I already have a job offer for a financial analyst position once I graduate after this last year of uni. Your profile mentioned you're also in uni. What are you majoring in?" he questions.

You're in the middle of swallowing your food when he asks. One word in the last sentence that he says catches your attention. This causes you to clear your throat, taking a sip of water before you respond.

"I'm sorry... did you say profile?" you question.

"Yeah, your dating profile?" he states, confused as to why you'd be in shock about this. You take a deep breath before letting out a laugh.

"Ah, I see." You respond. "I didn't make that dating profile; my friend did. I thought you were a mutual friend of hers."

"Oh, I see. I was wondering why you were a bit confused." He states.

"But to answer your question, I'm majoring in architecture." You state. This causes him to raise his eyebrows.

"Ah, really? That's interesting. So, you know how to make sure a building is sturdy and safe to be in?" you nod your head.

"Yeah, my architecture program also includes interior design as well so I've had to design rooms as a final project." You say while smiling.

"That's very impressive." He states before nodding his head, taking a sip of his drink.

"Thank you." You say while giving him a small smile. You then take another bite of your food before looking up at him again. "So, what made you create your dating profile?" you question.

"Ah, I'm honestly just trying to get back out there." He states before shrugging his shoulders. "I haven't been on a date in a while so I wanted to get back into the dating game. Do you know why your friend created your dating profile?" he questions. You let out a soft sigh before rolling your eyes as he mentions Seulgi.

"Well, my friend Seulgi wants me to take a date to this university party coming up." You state before taking a sip of your water again. "I guess she just figured a dating profile would be the easiest way to find a date."

He nods his head.

"I could see that. Maybe she preferred that you go on a date with someone new." He states. "After all, if you went to a party with someone and they're a mutual friend of hers, maybe it would be harder to get to know that person because they'd want to talk to Seulgi too?" You nod.

"That could be it." You say before glancing up as the waitress approaches.

"Hi! Are you two finished with your dishes?" she questions while gesturing towards your plates. You nod your head and thank her as she grabs your plate. Hyunjin nods his head as well, letting her take it before leaning back in his seat. "Would you two like some dessert?"

Hyunjin looks over at you, silently asking you with eye contact. You shrug your shoulder before speaking up.

"Uh... sure. Why not?" you say while smiling over at him.

You like him already. He's sweet, understanding, and he's a good conversationalist. You don't mind having dessert with him too.

"Which dessert would you two like?" she questions.
