◗ restaurant

@【 ᴄ 】yara s。 It had been a long time since Hoseok found himself out with a woman. It wasn't exactly his plan to have done this, but he had certainly agreed to it. One of his old schoolmates, Oliver, told him that if he was even interested in getting himself out there or anything, he should meet a nice girl at least. So he agreed to meet the said girl at a restaurant of her choice, standing right by the doors as he was instructed to by his mate, and hope that the other would know just what she was looking for upon her arrival. Was she also not told anything about him? He had been pushed to go without any idea, other than her name, in order to get the true feel of a blind date. Something that only seemed to make the man nervous, his fingers fidgeting with the sleeve of his black sweater.

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 The demon lets out a low chuckle, "You have no regards to a creature like me. You humans think you are the superior of the species." She dodges some bolts but couldn't avoid the other ones making some burns on parts of her body. Then she creates makes a bow made with black fire and shoots some black fiery arrows at him.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 "Yo, what the f- is that fire?" He barely dodged it with a teleport skill, but he got struck with the claws before that, receiving damage which translated to a drop in his mana points. If only he had a way to level up as quick as possible, he would have decimated his foe in an instant. This was going to be a long fight, and he was thankful that there weren't any civilians nearby. "Eat something proper, bro!" With a tease, he sets off more energy bolts towards the demon, trying to widen the distance between them and observe the movements of it.

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 The villain roared as she was struck by an energy projectile that flew her away from the victim, she growled and looked at him with a mischievous grin. "Naughty, naughty boy... You ruined my dinner." She said with a masculine yet demonic tone as she starts moving forward, retracting her claws out and attacks him then she blows out a huge black fire towards him.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 The ominous feeling he had came true when he heard loud screams coming from an alley near him, the cries of pain and desperation ringing in his ears. As a hero, he had a duty to respond, and he quickly did so by teleporting around him, finally spotting a devious demon-like creature chomping down on a said male, immediately charging up his energy bolt and firing it towards the monstrous figure. By the time he reached the victim, however, there was a huge chunk missing, and he knew he was already dead. Casting his one and only single buff, body having a faint golden aura around it, <Magic Guard>, his hands were now half clenched, mana condensed and swirling in a ball within.

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 Yeji chuckles and waves at him, "Take care, study well!" She bid a farewell to him before she went to the kitchen and starts to clean up. Then the time starts for Blackjack to come out. She lets out a grin as she finished washing the dishes and closes the restaurant, she walks to the dark alley and she slowly transforms into something grotesque and something scary. Yeji groans as she transforms into a male demon with red eyes glowing through the darkest of night then she starts to hunt for her prey, she sprouted out her wings and flew to where she sensed someone who is out at this time. Then she landed towards a guy and starts eating his flesh and bones, the victim screams in pain while Blackjack doesn't care about anyone as she is hungry.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 "Fine fine, if you say so~ you're too considerate for your own good, Yeji-ah~" Finishing his food, he waits for her to stack up the empty plates and cups, shifting over and taking it back into the sink, giving her a little grin, at least he got to do something. "Alright, I'll be off then, take care and stay safe getting back, okay?" Giving her a gentle pat on her head, he promptly stepped out of the restaurant, watching her through the windows for a little while before making his way back home along the main street, the night breeze gently whistling through his hair, although it did seem a bit ominous

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 "Don't worry about it, rumors are just rumors, they will die down eventually." Yeji told him softly before taking the tissue gently and wipes the remaining stain from , "Ah, don't be, I'll handle the dishes. Besides, you've got school tomorrow." She chuckles before she waited for him to finish his food before she starts to stack up the empty plates and cups. They might get along with each other once she continues to study in college with him.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 "What the hell... what are all these baseless rumors..." Taeyong couldn't help but to feel infuriated, brows furrowing as he took another bite of the aglio olio, rather angrily. "People really should mind their own business..." and they really should, with the media being widespread now, any tiny rumor could potentially ruin somebody's life, and he certainly wouldn't want that to happen to the precious girl in front of him. Maybe he'll find a way to stop it and to let her go back to school. Her tiny burp jolted him out of his thoughts though, letting out a little giggle at how cute she was, taking a piece of tissue for her before she stood up, giving a nod. "Wait for me, I'm just left with a bit then I'll clean up with you?"

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 "W-well... They said that my mom is crazy, obsessed with my dad, who has another family and left us instead." She told him her little background and sighs, "And they thought that I was an orphan and such." She added before she gets a pat by him. She smiles and looked at him, "Thank you, Taeyong." Yeji told her and burps a little before she covers and snickered, "Sorry, I think I'm full." She told him before she stood up.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 "I kid I kid, I'm just your normal, average university student," Taeyong laughs it off, then looking at her with concern when she slowly starts to spill out her troubles, wondering who would have the free time to spread all the rumors about her. "What rumors? And hey hey, don't let it get to you, these people certainly won't excel in life. As long as you know you're in the clean and not done anything wrong, then it's alright. Ignore all the negativity, yeah." He gave a tiny pat to the female opposite him, showing a reassuring smile. "If you ever need somebody to talk to, I'm alwaysbat your call."

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 Yeji was caught off guard by the other's words, making her cheek blushed more before she keeps eating the food. "Wow, I didn't know you're smart." She complimented and chuckles before she felt like her stomach's going to be full any minute then but she smiled at him. "I stopped studying, by the time I was on my freshmen years." She admitted before she starts looking at the foods, "I don't feel like going to school because of the rumors." She muttered and looked down.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 "How can anyone not like your presence though, I mean, have I ever told you you're hella cute?" He praises her in a straightforward manner, letting out a little chuckle before taking another bite. It was the truth though, she were one of the reasons why he frequented this restaurant in the first place. "Studies... are alright I guess. I'm naturally smart ahaha~" Giving her smug look, he observes her sharp features before reaching out to wipe the corner of her lips with his thumb, the tiny speck of sauce a little imperfection to her beauty.

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 Yeji smiles and starts eating the foods he ordered for them, then looked at him when he asked about her work in here. "Well, work seems fine in my end. My boss was at first, doesn't like my presence but when I show him that I can handle the pressure." She told him while they were eating, "And how about you? Do studies make you stressed up?" She asked, since she never get to college, not after what happened to her.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 Beaming back at her when she approaches him with the tray of food, helping her to set the table as well, he was about to check the receipt before a hand snatched it away from him, eyeing the female and giving her a playful nod, gesturing to the seat opposite him. "Fine fine~ I got it~" Taeyong took in the visuals of the food and his dinner partner before starting to dig in, having a mouthful of the pasta, delightfully nodding as he start on a conversation, comfortable with the atmosphere around them. "How's it like working here? I assume the boss treats you well, since you're the one bringing in the sales, after all."

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 When she was working on the receipt, she could feel that the other was looking at what she's doing. Her eyes moved to look at the other who gave her a small nod before she smiles and finished working on the cashier. She heard the bell rings when the food is ready to be served, Yeji happily takes the tray and told the chef that he can go now so she would be cleaning the dishes later. Then she went over to Taeyong's table and gently serves the tray of foods he ordered and hers as well, she was ready to give him the receipt but she quickly snatched it before he could touch it giving him a mischievous smile, "Next time you ask me to have a dinner with you, I'll be the one to pay, got it?"

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 "So I'm helping you clear the food then?" He teases the female lightly, giving a nod to the suggestion of the drink and going ahead with the iced tea. A little disappointed at the rejection of his dinner offer, he couldn't help but to chuckle at the bodily reaction of said girl, teasing her once again. "Come on~ you're hungry, go get what you want and I'll pay for it." Watching her walk away to the counter, Taeyong then observed the restaurant as he chilled against the backrest, always interested in his surroundings, but even more so to Yeji whose eye smile could light up anybody's world, giving a little nod to her when she catches him staring, ears turning red and feeling slightly embarrased.

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 She lets out another chuckle before she starts to take down his order, "You really know what to order, good thing we have some of those since people don't order them much." Yeji told him then pauses and looked at him. "Do you have anything to add? Juice? Iced Tea?" She asked him before hearing him asking if she had dinner already that he would tell her manager if they could prepare another one for her, this made Yeji flustered a bit. "I haven't but you don't have to tell it, I'll be fine. I'll grab some cup noodles when I get home." She told him but her stomach growls loud before smiling at him, "I-I'll get your order in a bit." Then she excused herself to get his order. Yeji might be lying if she doesn't like the other's company, she asked the chef to prepare last two meals for two and she waited by the counter as she prepares the receipt she could give to the young man.

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 Come on, her smile was as sweet as sugar, and Taeyong couldn't help to be enthralled by it, replying with a grin of his own. "On time more like late, I promise I won't get in the way of closing. Can I get the aglio olio with a serving of mushroom soup, please?" He recites his order back to her, ignoring that blue quest screen that only he himself could see right at the corner of the eye, contents summarized to being 'ask her out for dinner.' The system really knew how to play games with him. Sneaking in a swipe of a finger to accept the task given to him, he grinned back, words flowing naturally out of his mouth. "Had dinner yet? If not, I'll have to tell your boss to prepare another meal so we can have it together~"

@【 ʜ 】taeyong l。 It was just one of those days where everything is normal, Yeji prepared her things for her work. She got to hold the whole shift from morning to night since her other colleague had a fever so he takes a leave. Now the woman had to hold two shifts this day, but she has no pressure with it since their restaurant aren't as popular as other fast food restaurants. She takes orders with the customers and serves their foods with an innocent smile, regular customers are already fond of her presence as she sometimes called her an 'angel' on how fast she recovers bad foods and replaced them with the good ones. But one in particular, one student she's been seeing with always comes to their restaurant. When she was cleaning the tables, as it was about to close when he came, Taeyong is his name. Yeji smiles and walks towards her, "Hey, Tae! You're on time!" She chuckles, getting her small notes and pen. "What can I get you for tonight?"

@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 The gentle clinks of the chime resonated throughout the relatively empty restaurant, Taeyong having entered the space right before closing with a rather apologetic smile. School had kept him busy, and before he knew it, it got pretty late. Sure, he didn't have to eat since he was essentially a game character (thank goodness he wasn't a Sim) but meals were already a habit of his; besides, good food with good taste never fails to bring his mood up especially after a mundae day. Taking a seat, he waved to the waitress whom he was all so familiar with, calling out with a fond voice, "Yeji ah~" then flipping the menu, deciding his meal for the night.
