Tonight was a small friend hang out like any other— yet one of your guy friends Gyeong-su claimed it was a double date. The thought made you cringe a little. Continuing, apparently your best friend’s mom’s restaurant had just opened and you guys would be the first to test out the meals.

Gyeong-su, Cheong-san, I-sak, and you, came to a stop at a small but eye catching restaurant. “Cheong-san Chicken”. It comically had Cheong-san’s face plastered everywhere as the logo. You turned your head to your close friend Cheong-san. Before you could utter a word, he cleared his throat in embarrassment and spoke up. “Don’t say anything about the name. Let’s just go.” He proceeded to hold the door open for you and the other two.

The nice aroma of fresh chicken shot up into your nostrils as the bell above the door alerted your arrival. Cheong-san’s mom was in the kitchen with her husband, but when she noticed your guys’ prescence, she excitedly smiled. “Ah, honey, the kids are here!” She exclaimed and ran over to your group. “All of you take a seat, okay? I’ll bring the chicken over. Let me know if you like it.” With that, she hurried back into the kitchen.

You sat down at a table. Gyeong-su sat across from your close friend I-sak. Cheong-san sat across from you. You could tell he was embarrassed with all of you being here— with the way he was shifting around in his seat and avoiding eye contact with everyone. I-sak giggled, her laugh earning a glare from Cheong-san. But once he looked at you his gaze softened again.

His mom came back with a few dishes of varieties of chicken and set everything down. Her hands clasped together eagerly. “Tell me how it tastes.”
