Chapter 9
Begin Again
Couple of hours later, they entered an Italian restaurant after watching the movie as Sun-woo demanded to take her to dinner before driving her home which Nana impossibly argued but only faced defeat.
"Really Sun-woo.. I'm not hungry" but he just pulled her closer, placing his right hand in her back, gently pushing her forward. The host greeted them shortly upon entering and her don't-you-think-he's-handsome-wish-he-was-mine face didn't go unnoticed by Nana. The female host looked not much older than them, maybe a year or two. And she looked like a college chick. Nevertheless, it made Nana feel uneasy.
"A table for two", Nana said making the host flicker her gaze to Nana reluctantly.
"Of course"
They appeared in the semi-private part of the restaurant the host left them to get them a server. The server arrived quickly and Nana was relief to see that it was an ahjussi.
"She likes you" Nana started, referring to their host earlier. Her so-called-teasing-antic appeared to be failing with her reluctant voice.
"Does she?" he asked innocently, giving her his shy smile.
"Really? You didn't see that? Boy, you're so blind" but Sun-woo just raised his eyebrows at her. Nana gave him a surprised look. "Come on, you really don't see how you affect other people, do you?"
"Affect? How?"
"You dazzle them"
"I do, now?" Nana nodded sheepishly. "Do I dazzle you?" his question caught her off-guard but she recovered quickly, giving him a shrug. Sun-woo grinned at her widely. "The blush on your cheeks is lovely"
Nana almost covered her face when their server came with their food. He left after they thanked him. They ate in a comfortable silence, barely looking at each other.
"Are you ready to leave?" Sun-woo asked politely, about five minutes after finishing their food.
"Yes, please"
On cue, the female host walked towards them. "How are we doing?" she asked, giving Sun-woo an unnecessary smile.
"We're ready to leave. Check, please" she gave him the folder reluctantly, still eyeing Sun-woo. Nana rolled her eyes.
"Here, thank you" he returned the folder with some cash but his eyes never left Nana, making her smile at him.
