Once they arrived at the restaurant, Jaylen sat at the end of the table with Kujo sitting beside him and Aiken sitting opposite of him while Sara is sitting at the other end of the table, which is near the wall. As the others took the menu, there is only one menu left yet both Kujo and Jaylen has not yet taken the menu. "Why don't you two share?" Aiken suggested when he noticed and Kujo looked at Jaylen.
"You don't mind sharing, do you?" Kujo asked and Jaylen shook his head, faking a smile behind his mask. Kujo smiled and took the last menu, sharing it with Jaylen. "This ramen is not bad." Kujo said as he pointed to the ramen but Jaylen scrunched his face slightly, unsure about it. Kujo smiled at Jaylen's expression and flipped to the next page. Jaylen then pointed to a ramen which has only naruto, seaweed and miso soup. "So you like simple ones?" Kujo said softly and Jaylen nodded, embarrassed.
"Do you want any drink?" Kujo asked and Jaylen finally looked at Kujo. "What will you be drinking?" He asked and Kujo smiled, happy that Jaylen finally looked at him in the eye. "Maybe canned drinks?" Kujo said as he flipped to drinks menu. "Hmm... Maybe soda?" Kujo mumbled. "You?" He asked as he looked at Jaylen. "Soda too then." Jaylen replied and Kujo nodded, slowly understanding this quiet and mysterious male beside him.
"Hey, we have decided." Kujo said and his friends nodded. Soon, all of them have decided and Kinji ordered for all of them while Kujo ordered his own and also Jaylen's order. The waiter soon left and the group resumed back to chatting. Niko, Sapphie and Sara are talking about anime characters, Aiken, Kinji and Kyo are talking about their next cosplay ideas. Kujo then looked at Jaylen. "I'm still surprised that you are the one whom i've been talking to for almost a year." Kujo said with a chuckle and Jaylen just simply smile. "Me too."
"But.. Why would you join that social app when you are already famous and have many friends?" Jaylen asked, confused. "Because i want to look for someone who i can connect well with and i also want someone who i can be in a relationship with." Kujo replied, shocking Jaylen. "But.. I'm not that person." He mumbled. "You should look for someone else." He hurriedly added. "That could be true but it's too soon to tell whether if you are my Mr. Right or not, so by then, we can be friends." Kujo smiled and Jaylen nodded, reminding himself mentally not to fully open his heart and let Kujo in.
