Ruin and provoke

The inline skating club president was extremely sincere in hosting this dinner and even specially booked a private room. It was not easy to book a room in any restaurant located on campus and it was a mystery how he had done so.

Taehyung was late by two minutes. Upon arriving, he discovered that quite a few people were already seated around the table in the room. When he opened the door, the roomful of people turned their heads in unison towards the entrance. At the seat nearest to the door, there was also someone with his head turned to look at him. As people in the room threw numerous greetings in his way, Yukhei shot him a smile, a faint dimple appearing on his left cheek.

Taehyung exchanged greetings with the crowd and nonchalantly headed into the room. Seeing how the seat beside Yukhei was empty, he placed down his bag and sat down beside him.

Taehyung's actions were very casual and not contrived at all.

After sitting down, he heard the person beside him give a soft greeting. "Hello."

"Hello, I'm Taehyung."

"I know." He quirked his lips. "I'm Yukhei."

"I know that too."

As they spoke, Eunwoo who was sitting directly opposite Taehyung winked at him knowingly. He placed the extra tableware set in front of him on the transparent glass Lazy Susan and spun it to Taehyung.

Taehyung began to rearrange the tableware set in front of him.

Yukhei took his empty cup. Holding the teapot, he rinsed the cup before filling it with water.

Taehyung watched him from the side. His hand lightly gripped the white porcelain cup, his long and well-proportioned fingers a milky-white that seemed to gleam under the room's lighting. This was an extremely aesthetically pleasing sight.

Yukhei pushed the cup of water to Taehyung's front. Noticing Taehyung's gaze fixated on his hand, he withdrew it, somewhat embarrassed.

Eunwoo was a little impressed at how his boss managed to tease someone with just his gaze alone.

The club president passed over the menu. "Go ahead and order. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

If Jungkook was present, Taehyung would order dishes like croquettes and sweet and sour fish to disgust him. Food high in fat and sugar was something that athletes should avoid at all costs. However, since that fellow was not there, Taehyung ordered two healthy vegetable dishes that were high in protein.

While waiting for the dishes, Taehyung chatted with those who were present. Being a sociable person, he was able to hold a conversation regardless of whether he knew the other party or not.

Yukhei sat beside him and quietly listened to their idle chitchat.

The atmosphere was perfectly relaxed when someone opened the door.

Taehyung thought that it was the waiter coming in to serve the dishes. He turned and saw Jungkook.

Without waiting for others to react, he swiftly stood up and pushed the door shut. "You've entered the wrong room."

The club president quickly stopped him. "Taehyung, he's in the correct place. I invited Ice God here." He raised his voice and loudly called out, "Ice God, Ice God, please come in!"

Hearing the club president's call, Jungkook reopened the door and walked into the room.

The club president was overjoyed and a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Ice God, I almost thought you were not coming. Quick, add a chair to the table. In a while, we'll ask the waiter to bring another set of tableware. Here, take a look at the menu. Feel free to order whatever you want."
