Chapter 11

Celestina's POV

We walk inside the restaurant and I miss the smell of this place. I just realized how much I wanted to eat samgyupsal. I just hope that they serve good foods here. Well, there are so many customers here so I think that the quality of their foods are just so good. A staff assisted us and brought us to a table for four.

And of course, King Zen seems to be so unfamiliar with this kind of place. I do not even know if he knows how to use chopstick. I can see a little frown in his face when we finally seated. He is wondering of something and I am curious on what it is. He is lookong around and when he focused his eyes on me, is the time I ask him.

"What's wrong?" I ask him and he clears his throat before answering.

"Why do you like this place? Nothing special about here," he says and I completely understand if this place is not his thing.

"To you, yes. But for me, it is fun to be in," I said and I saw the way Maiah and Drew nodded just to agree with what I said.

"Not that I am saying that this is not fun to be in. I just said that there is nothing special here. You know, this is just so normal dine in. And I do not get why humans—Filipinos are so obsess with it," he says and again, he looks around.

"This is the trend in this generation. I bet you already witnessed every trend in every generation," Drew utters and I am amazed because he is now can speak straight. I know he has not been fully recovered being with King Zen but he is trying his best to adjust. And I hope Maiah too.

"I know. I can see that. Most of the customers here are youths. But I what I do not get is that, why are making this a trend well in fact, this is just a normal thing in Korea," he says and I now get what he is wondering of.

I think what he is saying was true. I heard somewhere that samgyupsal is not a thing in Korea. I think it is just because we are too hooked with Korean dramas that we had adapt their foods and whatever we saw in every series.

"I see, King Zen. But I hope you would still eat, though." He nods and I know that he would still join us in eating here.

"Of course. I did not even say that this is a bad place. A try must not hurt. And we will see," he says. I smile at him and handed him the menu. And of course, we all ordered an unlimited promo.

The food was served and we started eating. Our table is just so quiet, unlike with the other tables who are so loud in eating. They take pictures together.

If this is a lunch only with Maiah and Drew, I sure as hell that we are louder than those other tables. But since we have King Zen in here, we chose to be quiet. This is the first time they will be eating with him so they are just being careful.

Actually, they are still lucky because they are not eating with King Zen with just the two of them. While me? I have eaten several times already with only King Zen. And at first, it was too awkward. Not just awkward, it was a disaster. But I will never tell it to them because I know that they will be so worried. And I do not want them to be worried with me just because of King Zen.

I don't know how will I explain everything to them—or even to myself that even though I almost died with him, I still feel comfortable with him. I still feel safe. Like what he did that night was just out of his control.

We are just being so observant with the people around us because we notice that they are all taking their glances with our table. At first, I thought they just find us very quiet. But when I look around to see what people are looking at us about, I realize that they are looking at King Zen. Girls are just obviously drooling over and they are so obvious. Like they do not care if King Zen will notice them. And I think that was what they really plan. To be noticed by King Zen.

So I try to look at him to see if he notices something but he is just being quiet there, rolling a meat on the grass—that's what we call it. Then he eats without saying a word. But I do not think that he does not notice everything. Because he is a vampire so he has a very strong feeling.

"Is he even aware that he now has all the attention of girls here?" Maiah whispers at me and King Zen looks at her.

"I am aware. I'm not numb. I'm just so used with that kind of attention," he says and that is the reason why he is acting so normal. He knew he was looking at with a lot of girls and he is just so used to it that is why he stayed quiet.

Well, with the face he has, it is not impossible for him to get this kind of attention. And without saying a word, he is now back in eating. And we feel the awkwardness that he is supposed to be feeling.

We are eating over the same table and it is not impossible that we can sometimes get their eyes. But this is better that King Zen will be the one who will feel awkward. He will surely react and everyone he will get caught will surely be dead.

I told Maiah and Drew to continue eating. And they just did. I just need to find something to do or to talk about just to lessen the silence in our table.
