The inline skating club President was extremely sincere in hosting this dinner and even specially booked a private room. It was not easy to book a room in any restaurant located on campus and it was a mystery to how he had done so.

Lisa was late by two minutes. Upon arriving, she discovered quite a few people were already seated round the table in the room. When she opened the door, the roomful of people turned their heads in unison towards the entrance. At the seat nearest to the door, there was also someone with his head turned to look at her. As people in the room threw numerous greetings in her way, he shot her a smile, a faint dimple appearing on his left cheek.

Lisa exchanged greetings with crowd and nonchalantly headed into the room. Seeing how the seat beside Choi Yeonjun was empty, she placed down her bag and sat down beside him.

Her actions were very casual and not contrived at all.

After sitting down, she heard the person beside her gave a soft greeting. "Hello"

"Hello, I'm Lisa Manoban".

"I know" He quirked his lips, "I'm Choi Yeonjun".

"I know that too".

As they spoke, Jimin who was sitting directly opposite Lisa winked at her knowingly. He placed the extra tableware set in front of him on the transparent glass Lazy Susan and spun it to Lisa.

Lisa began to rearrange the tableware set in front of her.

Choi Yeonjun took her empty cup. Holding the teapot, he rinsed the cup before filling it with water.

Lisa watched him from the side. His hand lightly gripped the white porcelain cup, his long and well-proportioned fingers a milky-white that seemed to gleam under the room's lighting. This was an extremely aesthetically pleasing sight.

Choi Yeonjun pushed the cup of water to Lisa's front. Noticing Lisa's gaze fixated on his hand, he withdrew it, somewhat embarrassed.

Jimin was a little impressed at how his boss managed to teases someone with just her gaze alone.

The club president passed over the menu. "Go ahead and order. There's no need to stand on ceremony".

If Jungkook was present, Lisa would definitely order dishes like croquettes and sweet and sour fish to disgust him. Food high in fat and sugar was something that athletes should avoid at all cost. However, since that fellow was not there, Lisa ordered two healthy vegetable dishes that were high in protein.

While waiting for the dishes, Lisa chatted with those who were present. Being a sociable person, she was able to hold a conversation regardless of whether she knew the other party or not.

Yeonjun sat beside her and quietly listened to their idle chitchat.

The atmosphere was perfectly relaxed when someone opened the door.

Lisa thought that it was the waiter coming to serve the dishes. She turned and saw Jungkook.

Without waiting for others to react, she swiftly stood up and pushed the door shut, "You've entered the wrong room".

The club President quickly stopped her. "Lisa, he is the correct place. I invited Ice God here" He raised his voice and loudly called out, "Ice God, Please come in!"

Hearing the club president's call, Jungkook reopened the door and walked into the room.

The club president was overjoyed and a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Ice God, I almost thought you were not coming. Quick add a chair to the table. In a while, we'll ask the waiter to bring another set of tableware. Here, take a look at the menu. Feel free to order whatever you want".
