Collide

Dinner

Chaerin drove quickly towards the directions Jiyong sent her. It wasn't far from the company, in fact, she could get there by foot, but it was better to simply drive, she couldn't risk her stilettos, she couldn't bear to look at them getting scratched or the sole breaking, so she drove.

She got there quickly and entered the Ballet Parking section, as she stopped, a handsome young man, probably the age of Chaerin, greeted her and handed out his hand so she could get out. She smiled and took the hand, getting swiftly out of the car. She handed him the keys and he nodded, winking at her. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, seducing him a bit, and walked into the restaurant.

It was a luxurious place, the walls were painted with red and golden dragons carved on the pillars gave a fashion, modern yet ancient look on the Asian restaurant. There where red and golden paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, the lights were dim, like entering a jewelry store. Every table was decorated with pretty golden dragons and Asian decorations, it was pretty indeed. As she entered, another young man about her age greeted her. He was standing behind a desk, his clothes Asian themed, black and gold, just like everything around.

"Good evening, may I know the name?" He said. Chaerin smiled and nodded.

"Kwon, Kwon Jiyong." She said. The guy looked at the book in front of him and smiled nodding.

"Please follow me." He said and Chaerin do so. As they walked into the restaurant, she could get a better look of the place, it was simple, the tables black and the chairs, with golden decorations and red cushions. Luxury filled the air, the place. He walked her towards the back of the restaurant, a section where the tables where surrounded each with a high a wall that looked like a sliding panel with golden dragons. He showed her towards one next to a high panel window; it was one of those where you can see from the inside but not from the outside. Just there, sitting comfortably on one black and red sofa-looking chair was Jiyong, reading the menu.

As soon as he noticed his companions he stood up, bowing slightly at Chaerin. "Glad you made it, I was starting to worry." He said. Chaerin smiled and bowed, the receptionist already left, leaving them both alone in their private table. Chaerin walked toward the chair in front of Jiyong and he quickly went over her and pulled the chair so she could sit, then went over and sat in front of her, smiling. "So, what would you like? The food here is the best actually, I love it dearly." He said handing her the spare menu on the table. She grabbed it and smiled.

"Thank you. Well, I do have to admit I haven't been in South Korea for a long time, so I think I will leave it up to you to ask for the best dish here." She said, eyeing the menu. Jiyong smiled and nodded.

"I hope you realize this is a Japanese restaurant, so I guess I should order us both some sushi." He said. Chaerin smiled and nodded. "Also, I want you to try the Katsudon here, it's awesome." He said. Just then, a waiter came and bowed.

"May I take your order?" She said. Jiyong nodded and looked at the menu, as if looking at the dishes.

"For one we both want Katsudon and Maki-zushi. Also add some Soba and Udon please." He said, the waiter nodded and turn to leave but Jiyong called again. "Bring us light soda and water, please." He said. Chaerin almost widened her eyes at his choice of beverage. He looked at her and laughed.

"Would you like some alcoholic drink? I don't like to drink while I record, but if you want some –"

"No, that's ok, I don't drink either." She said and Jiyong smiled. He nodded at the waiter and she left, leaving them both alone again.

"You're quite the chaebol daughter Miss Lee, so out of the ordinary." He said, looking for once surprised. Chaerin chuckled and grabbed the glass of water in front of her.
