"Do you have reservation, Ma'am?" The hostess asked as I entered the restaurant that Jihyo sent me.

"Under Ms. Park, Ms. Park Jihyo." I answered.

She looked down on the tablet. "Oh, Ms. Park Jihyo is already waiting for you, Ma'am. Please, follow me." She smiled and started walking.

She led me in one of those I think VIP room?

"I will leave you here, Ma'am. Ms. Park Jihyo is inside." She said and open the door for me.

"Alright. Thank you." I said and bowed.

I entered the room and I saw Jihyo already sitting and is busy with her phone.

"Hey." I called and walk towards her.

Jihyo looked up on me and stood up. "God, I missed you, Jeongyeon." She said and hugged me tight.

"I missed you, too." I hug her back.

"Shall we order now?" I asked and sat across her.

"Uh, nope. Let's wait for someone." She smiled.

Someone? I thought I am the only one she invited.

"Who is it? Is it Daniel?" I asked.

"Oh, no." She shook her head.

"Then–"

"There she is." I looked at the door to see the person we are waiting.

Ah, tell me this is not in reality then. What is she doing her?! Right. She's also Jihyo's best friend.

"Hello, Nayeon. You look pretty." Jihyo said and kissed her cheek.

"I do everyday, don't I?" Oh, typical Nayeon.

Jihyo chuckles and shook her head.

Nayeon looked at me and smile. "Jeongyeon." She called.

"H-Hi."

"Alright! You better sit, Nayeon. Let's order because I'm so hungry." Jihyo interrupted.

Nayeon complied and sat beside me. For God's sake, it's four seater table but she chose to sit beside me! What's wrong with this woman?

"Good evening, I'm Seoyoung. I'm going to be your waitress for tonight. This is the menu." She introduced and put down three menu list.

"Uhm, what's the top rated pasta dishes?" I asked and look at her.

I looked down on the menu and it's all Italian dishes. This restaurant must be an Italian restaurant, right?

"We have a lot of top rated dishes such as Spaghetti alla puttanesca, Tagliatelle al ragù alla Bolognese, Cacio e pepe, and Tagliatelle ai funghi." She stated.

I smiled. "Your pronunciation is good. Wow."

"T-Thank you, Ma'am." She smiled back and bowed.

"I will have Sugo all'Amatriciana." Nayeon spoke. "What's yours, Jih?"

"Uh, pasta carbonara." She ordered and continue scrolling down on her phone.

"How about you, Jeongyeon?" Nayeon asked.

I looked at Nayeon and back to the menu list. "Oh, this, what is this? Taglia?" This one is hard to say and it's not even an english word.

"Tagliatelle ai funghi?" Nayeon asked.

I shook my head and pointed the pasta that has a tomato sauce.

"Oh, she'll have Tagliatelle al ragù alla Bolognese." Oh, Nayeon is good at this.

"Yeah, I will have that." I nooded and chuckled.

"Anything else? Wine? Water? Juice?" Seoyoung asked.

"A bottle of Azienda Agricola Valentini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo." Nayeon answered. "That's all."

"Alright. Your order will be here in 10 minutes. Excuse me." Seoyoung bowed and left.

"So, how was my pronunciation?" I looked at Nayeon and she was staring at me.

What is her problem?

"Good." I answered, boredly.

"You always flirt. Is that what you've learned in New York?"

I rolled my eyes. "None of your business." I answered, not looking at her.

"Nayeon, we're here to have a peaceful dinner, remember?" Jihyo said.

"Yeah, sorry." Nayeon bluntly said and  chuckled.
