yoorim can’t help but make a face when ericreveals that he doesn’t often eat out, somehow seeming in deep thought whilstconsidering the suggestion. though she doesn’t like to show off—which can bedifficult at times when having a considerably thick wallet filled with daddy’smoney—she wants to have a nice lunch together. she promised to take him out,after all, if she could talk him into tagging along to the star bright audition.“you sure? you know you can pick anywhere you like~”
if eric has already decided, however, yoorim simplywants to make sure that he knows his options; she is certain that they willhave a good time, regardless of where they decide to eat. not to mention hergrowling stomach, which attempts to warn her that if she doesn’t feast sometimesoon, she will suffer waves of nausea. after giving him some time to think andmake up his mind, she then tags along. since she isn’t a hundred percent certainabout the location, she lets him lead the way.
“gosh, i’m starving.” as per usual. anyonewho knows yoorim, knows that she has an intense appetite. always. how shemanages to keep such a slim figure despite eating for two people, is beyond herand most of her friends, although there is likely a good explanation behind it.“but things are good, really! a little busy admittedly, but nothing compared tohow it will be when uni starts again…” she sighs by the mere thought of combiningtrainee and university schedules. “how about you?”
eric feels bad letting yoorim treat him to lunch, even if it was repayment for him accompanying her to the auditions. he’s always rather nervous accepting things from people, even though he knows, sometimes, it’s okay to accept people buying him things. it still bothers him a little, and he makes sure the restaurant they’re going to isn’t an expensive one - he’s not about to take advantage of his friends generosity.
the restaurant, though, isn’t one he’d eat at often since it’s not the cheapest place around. it’s a nice place, one that someone who isn’t struggling financially would probably frequent. “it’s a nice place.” he assures yoorim with a smile. it’s a family run korean restaurant - it’s one of his favourites because it reminds him of his grandmothers cooking, who he’d only met after moving to seoul, and didn’t get to see often because of his busy schedule.
“me too.” he responds, frowning a little - he’d not eaten breakfast today, having been in too much of a rush to get to work. “yep, i know that feeling.” he says with a laugh, speeding up a little as he turns a corner and spots the restaurant up ahead.”there it is-” he points to it with a smile, eager to fill his stomach. “i’m busy as usual - work, uni, keeping up with people and hobbies.

if onething is true about yoorim, it’s how she always honours her promises. today isno exception as she is on her way to meet up with a friend who she guaranteedlunch, in exchange for his company during star bright interviews a couple ofweeks back—in fact, not only his company, but also the fact she talked him intosigning up himself. it seemed like a good idea back then and now, she would undoubtedlystill say the same.
she gotexactly what she wanted out of the interview, after all, that being an auditionfor sphere and furthermore, a contract. what about eric? she is honestly dyingto find out. finally arriving to their meeting spot, she waves in an eager kindof manner, showing her typical energic and enthusiastic self—nothing out of theordinary here, not with her. “yah!” she chirps, once closing the distancebetween them. “did you want for long?”
“ah, haveyou thought about where you want to eat? you can pick anywhere you want.” and momentslater, her stomach growls lowly in response. it has been a long, hectic day, sopacked that she has barely been able to take a bite of her snacks—if anotherthing is true about yoorim, it’s how she always bring snacks with her, wherevershe goes, just in case she gets hungry. she grins sheepishly at the sound ofher tummy.

ever since starbight interviews eric has wondered how yoorim got on. he wouldn’t be surprised if she got into some company from it. him, on the other hand, hadn’t even gotten past the auditions, which was to be expected. it hadn’t bothered him, he’d enjoyed the experience, and wasn’t delusional enough to think he’d ever make it into an entertainment company. he didn’t have any skills other than song composition really - he’d reluctantly admit he was pretty good at that. but, when it comes to things like singing and dancing, he’s average at best.
he’s waiting outside the agreed upon meeting place, lost in thought, when he hears a familiar voice call out. turning his head his eyes fall on yoorim, and he beams. “yeah, i’ve been here ages.” he jokes, laughing, then clarifies, “nah, just got here a second ago actually.” just in case it wasn’t clear that he was joking.
eric’s about to respond, when the growling of her stomach makes him pause, then snort and grin. “i was thinking this place just round the corner from here? it’s really nice! i’ve only been once before, since i don’t really… eat out.” he admits. it’s no secret that he’s as broke as they come, and all his friends know he’ll only ever splurge on the cheapest fried chicken he can find. starting to head off in the direction of the restaurant he looks over at yoorim with a smile. “so, how’s things?”
