Taehyun drove Beomgyu to a korean barbecue restaurant. Just knowing Taehyun took him to eat here made Beomgyu's mouth water. The anticipation to eat increased.

Taehyun and Beomgyu are at their table waiting for the food they ordered to arrive.

"Hyung, do you want order some soju?"

Oh no.

Suddenly Beomgyu is having flashbacks from last night of his stupidly drunk confession.

Beomgyu gulps, "I'm good." Then averts his eyes anywhere else that isn't on Kang The Devil Taehyun.

Taehyun acknowledges his answer with a nod and sly smile.

If you don't stop smiling I will kiss it off your stupid handsome face. Beomgyu thought with aggression.

As the waiter arrives with the food they ordered, Taehyun immediately starts grilling the meat. While Beomgyu is waiting for the meat to cook, he nibbles on the side dishes to temporarily satisfy his hunger.

For a short period of time, they sit in comfortable silence. Beomgyu is unable to get a word out because he is most likely too shy to speak so he distracts himself by eating. Although, Taehyun doesn't mind the silence since he's more focused on cooking the meat perfectly for Beomgyu.

Each time Taehyun puts meat that is cooked to his content on Beomgyu's plate, Beomgyu's heart flutters. Beomgyu is absolutely capable of grilling his own meat but why is he feeling some type of way when Taehyun is doing all the work? Perhaps he likes to be the one that is taken care of. Suddenly heat begins to rise on Beomgyu's cheeks just thinking about it.

Then Beomgyu suddenly remembered Heeseung's advice and takes the initiative to question Taehyun's intentions.

"Um Taehyun?" Beomgyu asked nervously while pushing his uneaten food around his plate.

"Hm?" Taehyun hummed in acknowledgment.

Oh god is this really happening? Beomgyu thought to himself as he avoids eye contact with the man in front of him. After a moment, he finally shifts his eyes to make eye contact with Taehyun.

"Is this a... date?" Beomgyu stammered.

Taehyun tilted his head slightly. "Do you want it to be?" He asked with feign innocence.

"I.." Beomgyu takes a bite as an excuse to avoid speaking. He's speechless. Of course Beomgyu wishes to go on a date with Taehyun but is he going admit it? Hell no.

At least not yet.

Beomgyu is uncertain if Taehyun is teasing or not. So he is reluctant to say a word because he doesn't want to embarrass himself if Taehyun doesn't feel the same about him.

Taehyun smiles affectionately at Beomgyu's shyness.

"Let me know when you're ready. I'll take you on a proper one."

Wait what?!

Beomgyu started to choke on the meat that was in his mouth. He was excessively coughing and Taehyun immediately panics.

"Oh my god Hyung! Here drink this."

Taehyun hands Beomgyu his glass of water and Beomgyu doesn't hesitate to take it. He gulps Taehyun's water down until there was none left in the glass.
