Seon's P.O.V

I took a seat beside my mother and Yixing sat in front of me. I felt uncomfortable sitting in front of him after I just saw him having a great conversation with a girl that I don't know of.

I tried to smile and act as if nothing had happen. I certainly fail in acting because when I looked up Yixing was staring at me with those concern look of his and at that moment I knew he'll ask me if something was wrong after our dinner is finished.

"Seon, you haven't touched your food yet. Is something wrong?" Yixing's mother asked me which have brought me from my thoughts.

"H-huh? No, I'm fine Mrs. Zhang. I just..lost my appetite." I replied giving her my sweetest smile.

"You lost your appetite? Maybe this restaurant's food isn't what you're use to eat. Oh, honey we're sorry we picked this restaurant." Mrs. Zhang said again.

I didn't want her to think that way.

"The restaurant's food is great Mrs. Zhang. It's just that today I suddenly lost my appetite. No need to be sorry." I said and scoop a little of the food from my plate and ate it.

Yixing's mother only nodded at me and continued eating her food. Why do I feel guilty now?

It was silent. We were eating our food with silence by our sides. The silence was broken after Yixing cleared his throat.

"Seon, can I speak with you alone, please?" Yixing suddenly asked me and stood up while extending his right hand to me waiting for me to hold it.

Both my parents and Yixing's parents were watching us. I can see the surprised expression from them.

I felt like their eyes are telling me to go follow Yixing. But my mind tells me I'm gonna get in trouble if I hold his hand. But I hold it anyway and followed him to talk somewhere private.

"Is there something you want to tell me, Yixing?" I asked after we stopped pur walking.

"I don't know, Seon. Is there something you want to tell me?" He asked me back.

I know he's slightly angry at me. I can see it from how he looks at me.

"No, Yixing. There's nothing I want to tell you." I said sternly.

Yixing was a little surprised at my reply but he still kept his figure straight. I didn't realize that Yixing was wearing a dark blue Armani suit. He looks dashing as always.

I was bored of Yixing always being like this. I mean he has a every right to be like this but he's not always right and I'm not always wrong, right?

"Just tell me Seon. I know there's something bothering you. You were trying to avoid me when I look at you and you're not eating your food." He paused and touched my forehead, "Are you sick Seon?"

"No." I said and removed his hand from my forehead roughly.

I suddenly felt angry. My advice to the boys out there, don't argue with a jealous girl or a girl on her period or a pregnant woman.

"No there's certainly something wrong. Seon, you're not yourself right now. You need to cool off. Let's get out of here." Yixing said and grabbed my hands.

"Yixing, are you out of your mind? What will our parents think? We need to go back to them." I said trying to let go of his hand from mine but his grip was too strong.

"We can call them later. I just need to get us both out of here and go somewhere more peaceful and not fancy." Yixing said as we were walking outside of the restaurant to go to Yixing's car.
