Chapter 18

"Well you're one gentleman...kinda like a chauffer."

"I was about to thank you but nevermind-"

I nudge him in the shoulder as we walk more towards the restaurant until we finally reack it, both of  us taking a seat on a table beside the window.

"So..you want anything? Like I mean what do you wanna get?"

"I don't know... everything?" I say as my eyes scan the entire menu, flipping through out the pages.

"Dude you sure you can finish everything? Like everything is a lot-"

"Ok man did you not know the word sarcasm exists? Like not only are you boring, but also horrendously stupid." I say rolling my eyes as he gives me 'the look'.

"Anyways what do you want. Like not the whole menu pick only two. I'll pick two other dishes and we can share. Ok?"

"Ya sure I'm fine with that. So I'll have...the fried chicken with corn cheese and the bulgogi fries."
"Basic."
"Ok mister rare and unique master piece, let's what you order."
"I'd like the malatang and tteokbokki ."
"Now who said I was basic?"
"Oh shut up."

"You know who you're acting like? A piece of shit that can't cook but critiques other's food like he'd do it much better."

"Joe Bastianich?"
"Bingo."
"You did not just compare me to grumpy old egg head-"

"Oh but I just did. What you gonna do about it?"

"You're lucky I'm a gentleman..."

"You're lucky to be able to hangout with such an elite like me." I said, my head held high before he slapped it down.

"Narcissist much." 

"Excuse me? Don't you dare look down at my middle name like that."

"The peasant does as the queen commands."

 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

"Well surprisingly that tasted decent.."

"See I told you the chicken here was nice. you're the one calling it basic."

"Ok ok I accept defeat to your sassiness."

"Excuse me, we'd like the bill please." I said as I saw the waiter walk by.

"Yes ma'am."

Soon enough the waiter brought the bill and shockingly, the bill of 4 dishes and 2 drinks were summed up to result in only 50,30 won.

"Pretty cheap for how much we ordered." We both paid, splitting the bill in equal halves.

"I told you this place was good."

"So I'm guessing we're done here. Let's head out?"

"Yea let's go." I got up and he followed after me. And a while later, we caught ourselves getting ice cream from an ice cream stall nearby.

"I just realized" He said, munching on his ice cream, "I don't have your number yet."

"Oh wait. Give me your phone I'll save it." A few seconds later I returned it as I was done saving my number.

"By the way, what's your korean name?"

"Lee Chanmin."

"Ok the Lee Chanmin, see you some other day brotha."

I hug him as he does the same to me, us bidding our goodbyes before walking down differnt paths and toward our own apartments.

 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

I put my hand inside my purse, reaching for my phone when my hand stumbles across something unexpected. It was a little keychain, one that Andrew, or as I called him, Chanmin showed me.

~

"Wanna see something?"

"What?"

"This." He said as he pulled out a circular locket type keychain from one of his pockets.

"Ooh that looks fancy. Is it a type of picture holding locket? Like you know the ones that have little pictures in the middle?"

"Bingo."

"Let me see then."

"That was my initial intention anyways. Here."

He holds out the locket in a way I could see it even before opening it, revealing the picture situated in the middle of it as he opened the keychain-locket hybrid thingy.

"This is your family, right?"

He hums in reply. "This is my dad, this is my mom and this," he says as he points at a picture of a little boy, seemingly smaller in size than him."is my little brother."

"Your brother eh? He looks a bit... familiar..."

"I don't know, y'all might have met before." He shrugged.

"Meh no idea. What's his name tho?"

"Lee-" He cuts himself as a ringing sound could be heard, which we found out came from his phone. "Wait one sec it's my mom I have to take this." He said, standing up and walking away just a bit further than our table, but not too far as I could still see him and not too long after, I saw his cutting the call and heading back to our table.

"What'd she say?"

"Nothing special, just where I was and what I was doing."

"What'd you say?"

"I said I was out with a friend. Why?"

"Come on I was hoping you'd say you were on a date..."

"Why do you wanna date me?"

"Uhm ew no. It's just to make your mother a bit proud of you just cause I'm damn sure she knows that you'll never get a woman."

"Ok harsh."

I remembered the fact that he didn't yet tell me his brother's name, but I didn't bother reminding him about it. Cause we were having a nice time, why ruin that by asking something out of topic?

But not long after, I realized that it would've been better for me to just ask for his name.

Hellow g(a)uys🤩

Hope y'all haven't turned into skeletons yet🥹

Sry I'm so late to update 😭 it's cause I kinda(?) caught a tiny fever and cause I've been binging the Percy Jackson books one by one (best decision of my life) and I'm writing another one😭

It's just that I don't get motivation to write this one and I just can't think of enough plot, so if y'all got ideas, pls share🥹💚
