"Ermmm... Not yet. Do you have any cravings?" She threw the question back to him.

Phew, that was close...

"Hmmm... I don't have any cravings too." He said as they walked around to see if anything caught their eyes.

Crap... Come on... Just some random food craving please...

This is getting more and more awkward...

"How about we eat this?" He asked as they walked to a Japanese supermarket.

There were food stalls within the supermarket.

Ramen, udon, bento sets, some Japanese finger food and stuffs.

"Yeah, sure." She said as she sat on one of the counter seats.

"I'll order. What do you want?" He pulled out a chair and sat down while waiting for her to decide.

She looked at the menu.

Ramen?

Nah, I won't look nice if I were to eat ramen.

I will be slurping the noodles and that is a no-no to make a good impression.

Udon?

Nah too, no slurping please.

Bento set?

Oh, I mean, any chance I will embarrass myself if I were to order bento set?

It's just rice and some protein.

So I guess it should be fine??

"Just a bento set will do." She ordered.

"Bento set will do?" He checked again.

She nodded.

"No beef, right?" He asked.

Wait, what?

How does he know about this?

"Ermmm... How did you know I don't take beef?" She asked as not even her friends remember she can't take beef.

"Oh well... I just know it." He replied and went off to order their dinner.

Okay, let's not read too much into it.

I mean, it's common, right?

Some religious have dietary restrictions.

That's why he knows, right?

I mean, is it common sense?

Is this common sense?

Right?

I mean...

I don't know what I mean.

"Do you want any drinks?" He asked as he pulled out his chair.

"Hmm... I'm good. You gonna get any?"

"Nope, mineral water is good enough for me." He took out his water bottle from his bag.

"Okay, I get bubble tea later after dinner."

"Okay. But will you be able to sleep?" He asked.

"Sleep?"

"I thought you said you won't be able to sleep if you were to drink tea after 7p.m.?"

Wait, what?

He... Remembered?

I mean,

Not even my friends remember that...
