Yoorim bit her lower lip, reluctant to mention that she wasn't expecting a large number of followers on her Instagram page. Her attention wasn't solely focused on the quantity but rather the content, thus explaining why the amount of posts she had currently were carefully selected according to her mood, an occasion that she enjoyed, her interests and the people around her. It was just an expression of herself and her portrayal of affection for her friends and family.

"I don't think of myself that way."

The corner of Suho's lips twitched. He leaned against the table and folded his arms on it, glancing at the menu in her grasp. "Have you chosen yet?"

She bit her lower lip while her gaze would shift up and down. The chocolate flavoured truffles sounded delectable and the assorted macarons of fusion flavours would entice anyone to try it out but the price of them were too expensive for her. In the end, she chose the cheapest one; a single slice of brownie.

Silently, she turned the menu such that Suho was able to read it. Afterwards, she pointed to the word 'brownie', embarrassed for ordering only one dessert at an exquisite restaurant. He looked at where her forefinger pointed to. "That's it?"Yoorim nodded her head slowly, forming a thin line on her lips.

Suho figured she was being cautious of the price since he mentioned he was willing to pay for her. It made him smile warmly because of her respectful gesture. He called for Jooheon and listed down the orders. Then, he added both the truffles and macarons since they were of the restaurant's specialty, unknowingly reading Yoorim's mind. He asked for ice water to quench her thirst as she was adamant on drinking plain water.

"Yoorim-shi, just take this as a welcome gift for me to you. It's really my pleasure to treat you,"he said. She bowed her head, thanking him.

Jooheon acknowledged by repeating their selected orders before getting it across in the kitchen. Yoorim scanned the interior of the restaurant, largely astonished by how magnificent and elegant it was decorated. From the colours that wasn't too striking, the shining furnitures that seemed to be polished on a daily basis, and the soothing ambience that would calm the soul. Everything was tip-top. She would never visit such a grand restaurant.

"You like it here?"a question was put across after Suho observed her for awhile.

Though her eyes were darted at every angle to take in every view and detail so she could share the experience with her parents, her head nodded slightly to show she was listening. "My dad owns this restaurant. We can come here together again next time."Suho paused and looked at her. "Do you want to play a small game with me?"

Yoorim whipped her head, her attention entirely focused on Suho now. A game out of the blue? Her eyes blinked blankly. She was completely clueless and baffled. He tittered upon her facial expression. Although he doesn't hear a lot of words or sentences coming out from her mouth, it was quite manageable to decipher her thoughts or feelings just by assessing her face.

"I just think it'll be more fun to break the ice this way." He grabbed a steel spoon from the cutlery basket, planning to spin it on the table. "Truth or dare?"he arched a brow.

She didn't want to play the game but it would be rude of her to object since as the department representative, he put in efforts to ensure he knew a little bit about her before Yoorim officially starts enrolling into SNU. Noticing the earnest and warm smile plastered on his face, she couldn't bring herself to say no or it's okay. She formed a thin line on her lips and nodded reluctantly.

His eyes lit up when Yoorim agreed. "If the handle points at you, you need to answer my question. If its the bowl part, you need to do what I say but I will give you 2 chances to opt out from the dare."
