"You'll definitely gonna love here Chaerin. This is Jiyong and I's favorite resto. The food is great and the ambiance is fine." Kiko said.

"Bubba gump? Isn't this a seafood restaurant?" Chaerin inquired.

"Yes! I would recommend for you to get the seafood fried rice..."

"ah.. Kiko she can't eat here." Jiyong said.

"w-why? Is there a proble..."

"She's allergic to seafoods."

**After shift, Jiyong and Chaerin decided to eat before going home. They were excited to try the new seafood restaurant near their office. They ordered seafood pasta and iced tea.

"waaah this looks so good!"

"come on lets eat!"

After a few bites, Chaerin felt uncomfortable on breathing. She ignored it at first and continued eating. But Jiyong looked at her shocked.

"HunChae! You're so red!"

"ehh?"

Panting, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was full of rashes all over her skin and she's now breathing harder.

"Jingyo~ i-I c-c-can't breathe..."

He rushed Chaerin to the nearest hospital. That's when they found out that Chaerin have an allergic reaction with seafoods specially with crustaceans.

"don't ever eat seafoods from now on okay?"

"I'm sorry Jingyo for making you worry. I have no idea as well. I promise. I won't"

Jiyong hugged chaerin and kissed her forehead.**

'He remembered' Chaerin thought.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't have an idea."

"No Kiko it's totally fine. You don't have to worry. I'm actually craving for burgers. You still like burgers right?" she looked at Jiyong.

'She remembers.' Jiyong said in his thoughts. "Yes. I do."

"Well then, what's the best burger outlet here?"

Kiko guided Chaerin to different restaurant that serves great burgers while Jiyong is lagging off behind them. Chaerin knew he was checking her out. Right now she had a great body, not like she never had it, she have nice curves even before but she doesn't show it off. Chaerin looked behind her while Kiko is busy looking, and she was right Jiyong is checking her out. She just smiled and whispered...

"Like what you're seeing?"

Jiyong looked away at a different direction. However Jiyong can't help himself looking not just at Chaerin's voluptuous curves but also at her gorgeous face. Unlike before, Chaerin likes to dress simply and her clothing style is a bit on the boyish side. But one thing that didn't changed was her eyeliner although now it's a bit thicker than before but it is still there.

Moments later Kiko already picked a restaurant and requested a table for 3. Another test just pops in Chaerin's mind.

"This place looks nice."

"you'll love it here Chaerin! It's Jiyong's favorite resto. As a matter of fact he almost memorized the menu here."

"Really now? Then why don't you order for me Jiyong?"

Chaerin now looked at Jiyong as he scanned through the menu. She can see his nervousness on picking an order for Chaerin. He's not sure if her preference for her food had changed. 'damn Jiyong it's just food! You don't have to be nervous!' he thought.

"1 bacon and cheesy mushroom melt 1 quarter pounder and 1 double angus burger without mustard please."

"Jiyong I like mustard why would you..." kiko was cut off.

"it's for Chaerin."

"right. I don't like mustard. It is too much for my pallet."

Kiko is now picking up the hint with the way those two is acting. It seems that they knew each other too well if they're just colleagues. She remained silent throughout the meal until Chaerin broke the ice.

"What do you do now Jiyong? Do you still collect game boards and toys?"

"yeah I do."

"really?! Wow. I missed playing board games. I remember Takenoku and Dead of winter are my favorites and how we stay up late at the office because the game was so intense." She dry laughed. "Dead of winter was so stressful."

"I missed playing it too."

"You miss it? Why? Don't you play along with kiko?"

"uhm well...She doesn't like..."

"I don't have time for silly games like that." Kiko said sharply.

"oh. you should try it. It's really fun to see Jiyong's face when you're kicking his ass on the game. Haha."

"ha! As if. How about you? Do you still collect those dolls?"

"Bratz? Yeah I do. Old habits doest change Jiyong."

"Cool."

"Anyways, how about your work? Where do you work now?"

Jiyong was caught off guard by the question. Chaerin knows his 'lying face' but he will be busted if he told them about his job. Without a choice, Jiyong choose to lie again.

"ah...I'm a...representative at a local telemarketer company here."

'Gocha you liar.' Chaerin thought. "I see. I bet you are a performer there. You've always been promoted back then."

They continued talking until Chaerin's cellphone rang again.

"Yes Secretary Choi. Yeah. You can come pick me up now. Yes, in front of the mall where you drop me off. Oh youre there? Alright."

"You need to go now?" Jiyong asked.

"Yeah. I still need to have my meetings via Skype. I'd like to thank both of you for this breather. I really appreciate it."

"we can hang out again sometime if you want."

"That's awesome."

Jiyong and Kiko walked together with chaerin in front of the mall since that's where they parked their car as well. Both of the girls are talking until Jiyong noticed someone familiar moving near to them.

"Seunghyun?"

"oh. right. Choi Seunghyun is my secretary. I'm glad you remembered him."

"yes I do remember him."

"well we have to go. It's really nice talking to you guys. I'll see you?"

"yes. Drive safely please." Kiko bade goodbye.
