As evening cast its soft hues over the city, Yeji found herself waiting by her car in the dimly lit parking lot, a nervous flutter in her stomach that she couldn't quite explain. The anticipation of her dinner with Ryujin had brought about an inexplicable unease, a sensation she hadn't experienced in a long while.

Ryujin arrived promptly, her arrival breaking Yeji's reverie. She looked impeccable, dressed in an outfit that exuded confidence and allure, igniting Yeji's curiosity. The sight of her left Yeji momentarily breathless.

"You're going to drive?" Ryujin inquired, her tone casual as she admired the elegant vehicle before her.

Yeji nodded, the nervousness she felt inexplicably intensified by Ryujin's presence. "Yes, why not?"

Ryujin's reply was accompanied by a captivating smile, one that set Yeji's heart racing. "Nothing, I just thought you weren't allowed to drive, considering you're usually accompanied by a driver."

"Well, tonight, let me drive for you, Ryujin," Yeji purred with a wink, her tone dripping with suggestion as she gracefully slid into the driver's seat, her movements oozing confidence.

Ryujin couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement at Yeji's words, a subtle blush gracing her cheeks as she settled into the passenger seat. It was a role reversal that she found surprisingly thrilling.

Inside the car, Ryujin's gaze wandered, unwittingly fixating on Yeji's side profile. The allure of Yeji, her cool demeanor blending with an underlying sense of sensuality, left Ryujin mesmerized. The contradictory combination was utterly captivating, if such a contradiction even made sense.

Unbeknownst to Ryujin, her prolonged stare did not go unnoticed. Yeji, sensing Ryujin's gaze on her, playfully interrupted her reverie.

"Don't stare at me for too long; you might fall in love," Yeji teased, her eyes locked on the road ahead, though a sly smile graced her lips.

Ryujin stammered in response, her attempt to deflect her true intentions faltering. "Oh, ah, I'm not staring at you, Ms.; I'm actually just looking at the window beside you."

Yeji raised an eyebrow, casting a sidelong glance at the flustered Ryujin. "Why here? You have your own window over there."

Ryujin hesitated for a moment, then confessed with a playful glint in her eyes, "It's just that this side has more of an angelic view."

Yeji chuckled, her skepticism evident. "Ohh, okay."

As the car glided through the city streets, a subtle tension hung in the air. Their playful exchange left them both wondering where the evening would lead and if they could resist the magnetic pull between them.

As they pulled up to the restaurant, Ryujin couldn't help but be taken aback by its grandeur. It was a place of opulence and sophistication, the exterior was adorned with tasteful decorations that oozed luxury.

"Why here? This is a fancy restaurant?" Ryujin questioned, her eyes widening as she took in the extravagant surroundings.

Yeji smirked as she stepped out of the car. "Yah, are you underestimating me? You think I couldn't afford it?"

Ryujin quickly got out of the car but hesitated at the entrance, still in awe of the restaurant's exterior. "No, Ms., It's just that we can just eat at other restaurants. I couldn't even bring my family here. They said all the dishes here are expensive, even the water."

"Where did you get that information? My restaurant's water is free. What are you saying?" Yeji retorted with amusement, taking a step closer to the restaurant's entrance.
