Rumors of a romantic relationship between my favorite and my favorite broke out
16. Dinner Date (1)


Ding-,


한여주
Ah, Min-gyu..!


김민규
Oh, Miss Yeoju!


김민규
Welcome to the right place!

Min-gyu jumped up from his seat and greeted me.

The corners of Min-gyu's mouth were turned up.


한여주
Oh, but it says it's closed here-..

I spoke as calmly as possible.


김민규
Oh, just in case, I borrowed dinner time for a bit!


한여주
A store..?

I sat down with my eyes wide open.


김민규
yes

Min-gyu smiled.

My heart was beating so fast that I thought I might die soon.


한여주
As expected, he's worth 23 billion won haha

I said with a playful smile.


김민규
Ugh-...

Min-gyu rubbed the back of his neck as if embarrassed.


김민규
So, what would you like to drink then..?

Min-gyu also seemed a little nervous.

I felt like I was on a blind date.

I wasn't this nervous when I went to a tutoring class in my first year of high school.


한여주
Um... Um...


김민규
What kind of pasta do you like?


한여주
I can eat most things well..!


김민규
They make really good carbonara here. How about that?


한여주
Ah, carbonara is good!

A man who leads with decision paralysis..

It's perfect.


김민규
Would you like to order that then?


한여주
Yes, I like it!


한여주
Min-gyu-oh-... No,


한여주
What about Min-gyu?


김민규
I'll eat vongole!


한여주
Oh, then should I order?


김민규
What kind of drinks do you have?


한여주
Ah... um... I...


김민규
...

Min-gyu seemed to be thinking about something.


김민규
By any chance...

Min-gyu hesitated for a moment before finally opening his mouth.


한여주
yes?


김민규
Beer... do you want to drink?


한여주
Beer..?

Oh my gosh, alcohol.

This must mean going straight.


한여주
Beer is good!

Then I will accept that direct approach.


김민규
great..!

Min-gyu's stiff expression slowly relaxed.


한여주
So, shall we order now?


김민규
Yes, that's right!


한여주
We'll order..!

종업원
Yes, what would you like?


김민규
I'd like one carbonara, one vongole, and two beers.

종업원
all right!

The employee came in with a menu.


한여주
I've only seen it in person at concerts...


한여주
It's amazing to see it up close like this...

I muttered, staring intently at Min-gyu's face.


김민규
Wow, you came to the concert too


김민규
Have you never been to a fan signing event?


한여주
.. yes


한여주
I guess I'm unlucky..

I said with a tearful face.


김민규
Do you still think you're unlucky?

Min-gyu smiled slyly.


한여주
.. no, not at all


한여주
I feel like I'm luckier than anyone else...


한여주
From the moment we met at the campsite...


김민규
I think I'm lucky too


한여주
.. yes?


김민규
I met Yeoju by chance at the campsite.


한여주
...!

My heart was pounding and I almost fainted.

I'm being flirted with by my favorite person...


김민규
Actually, I've been keeping Yeoju in mind since I saw her at the campsite.


한여주
..me..?


김민규
yes,


김민규
I saw the female lead and she was just my type..


김민규
I thought it would be nice if we could meet someday.


김민규
Even at a fan signing...

Min-gyu continued speaking shyly.


김민규
I thought that if I met him at a fan signing, I should secretly give him my number.


김민규
But I'm so glad we met like this


김민규
The reason we met wasn't all that good...


한여주
But that's resolved now..!


김민규
Yeah, that's right.


김민규
So when I saw Yeoju at that time,


김민규
I thought, I can't miss this.


김민규
so-...


한여주
Okay, just a moment..!

I cut off Min-gyu's words in a hurry.


김민규
.. yes?


한여주
I... that...


한여주
I think my heart might be strained...


한여주
Joe, slow down a little...

I was on the verge of having a heart attack, something I had only ever done with a joke.

As I clutched my chest and trembled, I said,

Min-gyu smiled as if he thought I was cute.


김민규
I guess it's because you're my fan, you seem even cuter..

Critical hit.


한여주
Huh......

The words didn't come out properly.

종업원
Excuse me-

종업원
The food you ordered has arrived!

The waiter placed pasta and beer on the table.

It looked delicious.


김민규
thank you-


한여주
thanks...

I couldn't even say thank you properly.

종업원
bon appetite-


김민규
Anyway, Miss Yeoju,


한여주
.. yes?


김민규
Before we eat, let me just say one thing.


한여주
... yes


김민규
Not as a fan of Yeoju,


김민규
I want to treat you as a human being.


김민규
.. Actually, I did that after exchanging contact information,


김민규
I want to live with people.


한여주
...

I was so trembling that I couldn't even speak properly.


한여주
It's not fan vs singer...


김민규
Person to person.

Min-gyu hammered home the conclusion.

That means,

From today onwards, I am no longer a fan of Min-gyu..

Are you going to become Min-gyu's crush?


한여주
.. great


김민규
thank you!

As soon as Min-gyu heard my answer, he smiled brightly.


김민규
Oh, and let me just say one more thing.


한여주
.. yes

I was already dizzy from Min-gyu's plot bombing.

But what are you trying to say here?


김민규
Can I speak informally to you from now on?


한여주
Oh, of course...!!!

I answered in a rush, completely excited.

And then I got embarrassed and calmed down on my own.


김민규
Then, heroine,


김민규
You can call me oppa now too
