@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /opens my mouth but no words come out, the finger i hold up slowly curling as i press my lips together, confused between feeling flustered or flattered by what you called me/
i- /tries to figure out whether to protest or accept the compliment/ -thank you? /laughs in the end, flabbergasted/ i've been called variations of handsome and charming, but beautiful is a first i heard
/scoffs in amusement at your wink, elbowing your arm/ don't look down on me. i might just win you in a match! /smiles confidently/
/lights up after hearing your response, grinning before calling for a waiter to place our orders/
it's a cake with lava /answers very vaguely, returning the menu to the waiter/ you'll find out very soon enough. i think you'll be amused

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ deadly beautiful?
*chuckles and winks at you* as you can really fight a big lion like me
lava cake? Oh, I'm not sure I had it before! what does it means?
*looks at you with curiosity*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /pokes my tongue out playfully at your reaction/ Don’t underestimate me just because I’m a sheep, dear lion. I can be deadly too!
/hums in acknowledgement at your response, scanning the menu for options/
Chocolate, chocolate… /notices one of the desserts and points at it/ Have you had lava cake before?

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ Ouch! *chuckles at your little kick* soooo violent!
Don't you roll your pretty eyes at me~ well, it's just some way they use.
*smirks a bit when I know you didn't mean it in that way at all*
looks at you gently and thinks for a bit*
Maybe chocolate?

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Hey! /kicks your leg (lightly) then scowls/ Of course I'm legal! /huffs/
/snorts after hearing your playful words, rolling my eyes with an amused smile/ I want to act surprised, but I'm not /laughs light-heartedly/ You're right, I mean actual dessert
/brings out the menu I kept from earlier and looks through it, asking while sifting through the pages/
Anything you like in your dessert specifically? Like, chocolate or fruits?

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ So you are legal, this is good. *laughs teasingly*
*chuckles at your cute reaction but notices you are not really mad*
Thanks, my cutie plushie... *smiles warmly at you when you say it out loud*
*eats my steak and enjoying each slice I cut, my lips when I finish*
Oh, usually when guys said it they mean something else but I think you mean actually a dessert~
so sure, pick us some nice dessert
*ruffles your hair in affection*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /snorts and shakes my head, an amused smile on my face/ I'm not a little kid, I'm past the age of even being considered a teen
/squeaks in surprise at being poked (ticklish), flinching away and giving you a glare (not serious)/
Yeah, people I like /huffs/ You're not the only one who enjoys the other's company /smiles at you/ You're also fun to be around
/laughs at your proclamation and nods in agreement, eating my dish until it is finished/
Oof /leans back in my chair/ That's very nice /glances at you and asks curiously/ You up for dessert?

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ Yes! This is what you tell little kids after they eat all their food on the plate.
*chuckles and winks at you*
Well, no one. *laughs at your dramatic tone but looks at you softly*
*loves your goofy side, can't help but to smile widely at you*
The people you like? *pokes your side playfully but my smile grow wide at that statement*
*nods gently when you push my hand away and I eat the slice myself, humming in pleasure*
You're right, let's finish our great dishes!

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /laughs a bit harder at your words, eyes crinkling with amusement/ For that, I’m a good boy? /shakes my head in fond disbelief/ Alright then, I guess I’m good boy now~
No one? /playful scandalised face/ How heartless, all of those! They don’t appreciate the art of cooking! /tuts in disappointment, patting your shoulder/ My condolences
/makes a show as if being shot again, then beams/ I become happy when the people I like also like the things I care about! It just isss
Ah- I don’t need it /laughs lightly and gently pushes your hand away/ I can’t eat your food, I have mine to finish too! /gestures to my plate/ Besides, you also need to eat. I can’t be the only one eating now, can I? /huffs light-heartedly/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ Cause you said you would eat all of my food, so it makes you a good boy!
*chuckles at your words and nods* And yet, no one fell for me after I cooked for him.
*laughs at your playness, shots you again with one more heart*
You are adorable when looking this happy about me liking the food
*whispers gently and feels warmness when you hold my hand to eat the steak*
Yes it is! Do you want more?
*slices the steak more and pointed another slice to your lips again*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Good boy? /amused/ How am I a good boy? /chuckles/
Well, you know what they say /clears throat dramatically/ “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”!
/grabs the invisible hearts shot my way and places it on my chest, as if shot in the heart/ Oof- I’ve been hit!
/watches your reaction to trying my food, straightening with glee when you liked them/ I’m glad you think so
/looks at the offered slice of steak in surprise, gesturing to myself/ For me? /smiles, feeling a bit sheepish/
/gently holds your hand, keeping it steady while I lean in to eat the piece of steak/
/lets go of your hand to cover my mouth afterwards as I chew, eyes in crescent shapes/ It tastes yummyy

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ Such a good boy, now I want to cook even more for you.
*winks at you* is that what it takes to get your heart? *makes heart shape with my fingers and then shooting*
Yeah like I said beofre your taste is quite great!
*takes spoon full with each things from your plate, tastes it and hums softly*

*cut a slice of steak and place the fork in front of your lips*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ whatever dish you decide to make, i'll be sure to eat them allll up! /smiles proudly/
haha if i don't know any better, i'd say you're out for my heart~ /holds my chest protectively, where the heart is/
/perks up at your reaction and grins happily, shoulders dropping with relief/ i'm glad to hear that!
/finally digs into my own food, taking a spoonful of the dish; eyes widening at the flavours/ mmm~ do you want to try a bit of mine?
/slides my plate closer to you—a plate of authentic carbonara, creamy from the egg yolk with slices bacon mixed in/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *shakes my head when you stop caressing my cheek like that*
Well I can also make you korean dishes or just try make you anything you are craving!
*chuckles and coos at how excited and happy you look*
If I knew you would be this happy I would suggest cooking for you sooner!
*hums at the great taste*
Delicious!
*looks into your big eyes and pinches your cheek as you are being way too cute*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /notices your slight movement and smiles, keeping my hand on your cheek for a second longer before pulling away (a bit slowly, as if reluctant)/
/laughs at your exclamation, nodding my head/ no doubt, no doubt! and i agree, korean food is great
/grins excitedly at the promise, wiggling happily in my seat/ i look forward to your cooking. i'm so exciteddd
/watches you eat for a bit, not touching my dish yet/
how is it? /asks a bit expectantly, gauging your reaction with anticipation/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *smiles and surprises at your soft touch, leans in a bit*
I am korean! well but yeah korean food is so great
*chuckles* really no take backs, it would be so much fun to cook for you!
*gives you a soft look and seems quite happy at my dish*
I love meat, it looks so delicious!

*starts to eat the steak, slicing me a nice slice and hums happily at how good it is*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ mhm, very y, my dear /pats your cheek playfully, almost affectionately/
i mean /looks you up and down before squinting/ are you telling me you're not? /teasing, joking/
/grins at your proposal/ you said it yourself!! no take backs! /points at you with squinted eyes/ i'll be keeping you on that promisee
/the waiter returns with our main dishes, placing them on the table before excusing themselves/
here /pulls a plate in front of you/ your steak!

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ How cute. It's not funny, I'm very y.
*laughs softly and pokes your cheek gently*
Yeah I'm so korean, arent I? *smiles brightly at you*
Yes I can cook! Well I will happily cook for you
*nods gently while waiting for the main dish*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /laughs heartily at the question, shaking my head/ Nope, I haven’t changed it since getting your number. I find it too funny, I want to keep it that way
/rubs my chin in interest/ I see, you’re a classic kind /beams/ I’ll keep that in mind for the next time we go out together!
/looks at you with surprise/ You can cook? /seems impressed/ I don’t know how to cook /chuckles/ I can only make instant noodles

() since this happened before the cycle so yangyang still doesn’t know minhyuk can cook :nod nod:

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ Oh you didn't change it yet? You are so cute.
*can't help but to smile back at you as you seem so happy*
Really? this is impressive!
*finishes my soup and hums softly as it was really good and warm*
Well I'm not picky at all, but I do like crispy chicken and korean bbq very much
*smiles softly at you*
The soup was a great choice, it suits the weather so much, maybe I should make you that soup next time.

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Oh? If that’s the case, I’m changing your name on my phone later! /laughs/
/watches you closely for your reaction, lighting up when you respond positively, a relieved and happy smile on my face/
I’m glad you do! It’s a pretty popular German appetiser. I’m actually surprised they serve it here.
/continues enjoying our appetiser until eventually it finishes; gestures for the waiter to bring out the main dishes before turning to you/
What kind of food do you usually like? /curious/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *chuckles lighty at the new nickname* y Silly... I would take that.
*is glad to see you this happy* I love trying new things so it works very well together!
*listens to the details of the appetizer, takes it when you put it on my plate, taste it and hums happily*
You have such a good taste, yang~ I like it!

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ No more “y Minhyuk”. You’re now /swipes my hand in front of me, like I’m revealing something/ “y Silly”~
I am happy /confirms with an enthusiastic nod/ I like sharing things with people, and it makes me happier when the other person likes it too!
/doesn’t reply to your musing, only returning your wink to focus on my food/
Oh /realises, picking up a piece of the appetiser—puff pastry wrapped around a pork sausage/ You should try one of these too. They’re Puff Pastry Beer Brats. Or, as we’d call it in Germany /clears throat/ Brats in Blankets. /grins before placing one on your plate/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ It sounds to me like my own name by now *chuckles softly at you*
Aw you look so happy, I do like it! *smiles as I take another full spoon with tomatoes soup into my mouth*
*looks at your smile and chuckles gently*
You really full of confident, this is quite interesting.
*wink at you playfully before I focus on the delicious food and eat happily*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ You are? /slightly surprised, slightly curious; a happy grin on my face/ I’m glad you do, ‘cause I’m not about to drop it anytime soon~ /playful/
/lights up at your reaction to the tomato soup, grinning happily/ Right? I knew you’d like it!
/takes a bite of my own appetiser until I feel your touch on my cheek, glancing at you inquisitively/
/pauses mid-bite at your question, contemplating my answer for a while/
… be a good boy and we shall see /flashes you a cheeky smile before continuing my meal/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ You keep calling me Silly but why do I start to like it... *laughs softly at you*
You right it is very challenging!
*takes a sip from the soup and hums a bit* Well it's very tasty!
*notices your reaction and can't help but smiling at you when you smack my head and check if someone saw what I did*
How cute...
*brushes my finger against your cheek*
Well it worked... wait, are you saying if we are not in public...
you would let me do it?
*raises an eyebrow and smirks at you*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /giggles along too when you laughed out loud, finding your easily amused state cute/ Silly /whisper/
Ah, but isn’t that the fun of the challenge? /smiles mischievously/ You find out what makes a seemingly confident guy like me fluster. Wouldn’t that be interesting?
/bursts out laughing at the unexpected question, shaking my head/ There’s really no story, sillyy!
/is about to dig into my appetiser when i’m taken by surprise by your sudden action, inhaling sharply when your finger passed a /
Hey- /smacks your hand, looking around the bar to make sure no one is looking/ Down, boy! Behave /squints at you, just the slightest hint of a flush on my neck/ We’re in public! /low voice so no one hears/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *laughs out loud* this is not even close!
Well... I do, you are fun to be around for sure.
*smiles and pinches your cheeks*
I have no idea how to make you feel shy, you seem so confident
*thanks the waiter as well and blinks a bit*
Seriously what is the story between you and the tomatoes?
*laughs as I run my fingers slowly against your clothed chest*
Would that make you... shy?
*looks at you with curiosity as I your through the fabric*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Don’t you know? You need “hot”, “y” and “cool” to spell “silly” /teases/
Aww /places a hand over my chest, smiling widely/ I didn’t know you hold me to such regard. I’m honoured!
Hmm, who knows? /feigns thoughtfulness, before turning to you with a cheeky smile/ Why don’t you give it a try?
/hears footsteps approaching our table and looks away, watching the waiter place our appetisers/
/muses a soft “thank you” before they leave, then turn to you again/ Your tomato soup~

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ So mean, instead of telling me how hot, y,and cool I am.
*chuckles softly at your words, your head gently*
Of course you are on that list... you are cute and I like being around you.
*laughs gently and nods, pokes your cheek gently*
Does your cheeks go red like tomato when you are embarrassed?
