"Wow, this place is incredibly elegant," Nabi exclaimed as they entered the spacious restaurant.
The decor featured charming grey walls and an abundance of candles, while tables were adorned with grey and black roses.

"Are we the only one here ?" he asked with amusement, approaching the centrally placed wooden table.
"Yeah, it seems that way," she replied, taking the seat he had courteously pulled out for her before settling into the one opposite.

"I'm starving ; I feel like ordering everything," she chuckled as they perused the menu.
"Same here. Everything looks tempting; it's tough to decide on just one.. " he nodded with a slight laugh.

"I've got a craving for a burger," she admitted, flipping through the menu pages.
"We can order one for you. You're not a fan of spicy food, right?" he asked with a smile, shifting his gaze from the menu to meet hers.

"Yeah, how did you guess?" she replied.
"The last time we had barbecue, Gwanhee added wasabi to your wrap, and you looked like you were struggling," he said, laughing as he remembered her expression.
"I'm not that bad; he just added too much," she laughed along as they eagerly awaited the arrival of their food.

"Thank you for choosing me. It's because of you that we get to share this delightful meal and engage in meaningful conversation," he expressed while delicately cutting into his steak.
"No need to thank me, Minkyu-shi. I'm savoring every moment just as much as you are," she replied, casting a warm smile as she adorned the gloves provided, preparing to indulge in the burger.

"I'm not sure how I'll manage eating this on camera without making a mess," she confessed, holding the sizable burger in her hands.
"Don't worry, you're beautiful no matter what. Just savor the moment," he assured with a gentle laugh.
"You're only saying that to flatter me," she teased, smiling at him before taking a bite. The burst of flavors prompted her to momentarily place the burger on the plate, and she couldn't help but express her delight with a satisfied clap and a joyful tilt of her head.

"Wow, Minkyu-shi, you've got to taste this—it's incredibly delicious," she exclaimed with delight, speaking between bites.
"Should I?" he asked, intrigued, his eyes focused on her as she extended the burger toward his mouth, attempting to take a bite.
"It's truly amazing," he acknowledged, savoring the flavors as she nodded in agreement.

'... soo how old are you ..'he asked with a gentle smile, prompting her to chuckle
"Well, I think you should spill your age first," she replied, locking eyes with him as he leaned back in his chair.

"I'm 34," he admitted, observing her throw her head back, covering her mouth with her hand as laughter bubbled out.
"Why, am I too old?.. " he quipped, joining in her laughter at her amusing reaction.
"No, no, I just guessed right. I knew you were older than me; I'm 24," she confessed, witnessing his face shift from shock to laughter as they shared a lighthearted moment.

"We're 10 years apart," he said, a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Oh, that's no big deal. Honestly, I find older men more attractive. I appreciate the reliability and comfort that comes with maturity, just like you, Oppa," she shared, smiling as she took a sip of her drink.
"It's not an issue for me either. I was just taken back , I knew you were younger, but I hoped the age gap wouldn't be substantial so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable. The way you carry yourself made me think you might be older than your actual age," he explained, studying her with thoughtful observation. .

"I'm anything but uncomfortable with you. In fact, as I previously said I find older, reliable men incredibly attractive. The way you've always taken care of me, especially this morning, has given me a sense of comfort—that's the main reason I chose you," she admitted. He responded with a shy smile and a nod.
"I'm glad you feel that way about me. I've been attracted to you since our first conversation, and I guess I've found myself taking care of you without even realizing it. I suppose I like you that much," he expressed, and she couldn't help but smile at his endearing shyness evident on his face.
