Irene remained silent and so did Seulgi.
Only when they stopped the car did Seulgi tell Irene. "We have arrived."
Irene looked up and saw the barbeque shop. She removed the seatbelt, alighted the car and entered the shop with Seulgi. The barbeque shop looked very high-class and didn't have a lot of customers. However, the air was filled with a tempting fragrance.
Seulgi asked for a private room and brought Irene into it.
Irene and Seulgi sat opposite each other. Seulgi ordered Irene's favorite food. Irene heard him say the names of the dishes and said, "You have a similar taste to me."
"We are having a meal together. Of course I will order your favorite dishes." Meeting Irene's emotionless eyes, Seulgi said frankly, "After all, I am wooing you."
Irene was caught off-guard by his confession and felt a rush of warmth. Luckily, she was wearing a hat and no one could see her expression.
Seulgi took off his baseball cap and saw that Irene was still wearing it. He said, "Take off your cap. The air-conditioning is turned on in the house. Won't it be hot wearing a cap? Moreover, this is a private room. No one will notice us."
Irene took off her hat in a swift manner.
Realizing that Irene's ears were slightly red, Seulgi took a few more glances. Under the light, Irene's ears were so thin that they were translucent and very adorable.
Irene felt slightly uneasy. She looked down and pretended to drink some water. After finishing it, she realized that Seulgi was still staring at her with a perverted look in his eyes. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and scolded him. "What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't seen me before."
Seulgi said sincerely, "I will never get tired of looking at you."
"What's the matter with you?" Irene pulled a long face to cover up her shyness. "Why are you so flirty? Are you itching for a beating?" Irene's eyes turned visibly cold.
Seulgi hurriedly looked down and stared at the grill.
Irene's stomach needed proper nourishment. She couldn't eat too much barbeque— she could only taste it. Seulgi grilled some of each ingredient for her. He waited until Irene was full before roasting it for himself.
Irene poured herself a glass of lemon water. She held the glass and took a sip occasionally. Looking at Seulgi's long silver hair, Irene's lips parted slightly before she shut them again.
It was very strange that some words were stuck at the tip of her tongue. This was something Irene had never experienced before.
Seulgi was full. He glanced at Irene, who was deep in thought. "Do you have something to tell me?" In this world, Jennie and Seulgi knew Irene the best.
Irene asked in surprise, "Why do you ask?"
Seulgi said, "You always like to touch something repeatedly when you are troubled." Irene had already touched her glass dozens of times.
Irene also knew her own habits.
She put down the glass. "Seulgi."
Since waking up, this was the first time Irene addressed Seulgi by his full name. Seulgi subconsciously sat up straight and swallowed hard, before giving a grunt of acknowledgment.
Irene looked elsewhere and said, "The day after tomorrow, I will be setting off for Congo to do research with my teacher." Irene didn't feel relieved when she finally told him about this. Instead, she felt even more nervous.
