Khristian nodded and looked at the menu, silence enveloping them as he tried to figure out what he wanted. Suddenly, he remembered the promise he had made last time, that he would let her pay her own way. It's too late to back out of it now... It'd be rude. Maybe if we're still hanging out by dinner time.. He thought. It was just habit for him to treat girls to food. It was how he was taught.
HeuSeoh shook his head softly, "No, I think it was just bad timing. I was embarrassed when that happened..." He laughed. "I'm surprised you still remember that so well." He said, his eyes wide.

"So what else is new with you?" Peyton asked as she watched him try to figure out what he wanted. She couldn't remember whether or not she had already asked him that. Usually she didn't mind silence; in fact, there were times when she rarely spoke at all. However, when she was around Khristian, silence seemed awkward and uncomfortable. She preferred to talk around him, even though most of what she said usually turned out to be silly or ridiculous.
Growing more embarrassed by the second, Morgan bit her lip. "Of course I remember! It was my first kiss ever. Why would I forget something like that? I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life."

Khristian confirmed what he wanted and turned to Peyton. "Hmm? oh..." He smiled, "Not much... I'm trying to get a job." He admitted. With a smile he added, "Something about mom not wanting to give me spending money anymore. It's understandable."
HeuSeoh smiled, "Well, of course~ I remember the kiss, too. I'm just surprised you also remember the conversation so well." He told her, pulling her closer to him. "I kissed you earlier, no bad luck. Do I have to kiss you again to prove to you it's not bad luck?" He asked her playfully.

Waiting patiently for her food, Peyton glanced over at him with interest. "Oh I see, what kind of job do you want?" She recalled that Khristian was majoring in tourism or something like that, but she still had no idea exactly what that meant. "I hope you can find one soon; it's a tough market out there, so I've heard."
Still blushing as he pulled her close, Morgan nodded. "Sure, if you want. I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to...." While a part of her was nervous, she couldn't help feeling excited about the possibility of trying again.

Khristian nodded, "I know... I'm worried I won't find one... But," he shrugged, "Whatever I can get, y'know? To start a resume.." He explained.
HeuSeoh smiled and gently brought her face up, bringing his lips to hers. After he pulled away he waited a couple seconds before smiling, "See? Nothing bad happened." He told her simply.

Relieved that her food was now ready, Peyton picked it up and nodded. "That's a very healthy way of looking at things. Most people would try to get the high paying jobs now, even though they have little experience." Truthfully, she had no room to talk whatsoever when it came to job hunting. She was almost 19 years old and hadn't even started looking yet.
Morgan stared at him for a few seconds, still slightly in shock over what just happened. "No, nothing bad did happen," she said, grabbing his hand and squeezing it tightly. "So I guess we can do this all the time now....only if you want to....I mean...."

Khristian nodded, "It's what my mom suggested. 'I have my entire life ahead of me to get my dream job, for now, I should just get a job to get some income.' Is what my mom told me." He said with a small laugh, taking his own food and drink and finding a nice little table. "How about here?" He suggested, though he was already setting his stuff down.
HeuSeoh smirked and moved close to Morgan's face, "So I can do it as much as I want?" He asked her playfully, moreso trying to get a reaction out of her.

Peyton followed him to the table, carefully setting her food down. "That really is a smart thing to do," she said, blowing on her tea to cool it. "My mother always used to tell me and my sisters to just follow our dreams. Sometimes though, dreams don't come true...." She sighed and shook her head. Her mother might not have had a realistic way of thinking, but Peyton still thought very highly of her.
Morgan nodded again, trying to maintain eye contact with him. "If you want to. I mean you've had a girlfriend before. Did she let you do it as much as she wanted?" Of course, the thought of him kissing someone else wasn't something she cared to think about much, but she was still curious. After all, he was her first boyfriend and kissing was still a relatively new concept to her.

"Yeah," Khristian agreed with a nod, "Mom still encourages us to follow our dreams, she wants to keep us down to earth at the same time. Like my youngest brothers have no career goals except to become a famous singing duo. Our mom keeps telling them to think of other options as well." He explained. "She's not trying to discourage them, she's just looking out for them." He shook his head, "I feel like I'm rambling." He took a sip of his drink, "This is good..."
HeuSeoh pulled back, making an unreadable face as he furrowed his eyebrows and bit his bottom lip. "She doesn't matter. Are you okay with the idea?" He asked, being truthful. He'd be lying to say he was torn up when he lost his first girlfriend. He was more like... mildly displeased. He let out a small breath and kissed Morgan on the cheek anyway. "If you don't say anything against, I'll just do that anytime I feel like it." He teased her.

Peyton chuckled a bit. Even though she barely knew her younger brother, she still couldn't imagine him wanting to become part of a famous singing duo. "I suppose that's a good thing," she said. "One of my dreams was to become a famous concert pianist, but it was very unrealistic. At least, I know that now. My mother still believes in me though. My father....well, he's more realistic." She looked down and bravely took a sip of her hot tea. "You're not rambling. I think you're really kind...."
Morgan giggled as he kissed her again. "I don't mind if you do it. I actually kind of like it. It's just that I've never had a boyfriend or done all of the fun boyfriend/girlfriend stuff before. That's why I asked...because I wasn't sure..." She glanced down at the floor, a little embarrassed that she was having this conversation at seventeen years old. Most people her age already knew this type of stuff.

Khristian smiled at her compliment, "Thank you. And, I'm sure you'd be an awesome pianist." He told her. He paused for a couple seconds, trying to figure out when the right time to tell her his feelings would be. If I said it now, it would just seem sudden... He thought to himself, feeling a little discouraged.
HeuSeoh nuzzled his face into her hair, "Whatever is okay with you, is okay with me." He told her, kissing the top of her head. He pulled back a little to look at her, "Is there something you've always wanted to do once you got a boyfriend? We should do it!" He encouraged with a playful grin.

Peyton took a bite of her muffin and shook her head. "Thanks, I was alright, but I was hardly Mozart. I only played for about five years. Most people take at least ten years to become really accomplished." She glanced over at him, confused at his sudden silence. "Is something the matter?"
Morgan pondered his suggestion for a bit. Honestly, she had never really thought much about having a boyfriend. The little bit that she knew about dating she learned from watching her sister and godsiblings. "I don't really know," she said honestly. "All I know is that we're supposed to go out a lot, get dressed up sometimes, buy each other presents, and kiss and stuff. Then after a few months, we're supposed to start fighting. I guess we forgot to do that."

Khristian twitched, as if caught doing something wrong. "Uh, no no. Sorry, I'm just... I..." He stuttered, then sighed, May as well... "Peyton... I-I know we haven't really gotten to know each other really well yet, but I really like you..." He looked at his cup intensely, not able to look up, "Like... really like you." HeuSeoh laughed, "Well, I hope we never start fighting." with a laugh, he added, "At least not until we're married." He blushed at the thought, hiding himself in his long bangs. "uh..." He cleared his throat, "In Korea, there are a lot of sappy things couples do. Wear couple shirts, kiss at the top of the ferris wheel... All sorts of things." Shyly, he admitted, "All I know is stuff from dramas."

Peyton suddenly became silent as well, staring at him intently as though he had just confessed that he was an alien from another planet. He liked her? Sure, it was a bit obvious from the way that he had been acting around her, but she figured it was just politeness. After all, most of the time they had spent together was a direct result of him taking pity on her. It was difficult for her to associate it with him actually having feelings for her. "Are you sure?" she finally managed to ask, her eyes widening.
Morgan laughed and shook her head. "No, we don't have to get married," she said, blushing as well. "Because then we'll end up getting divorced and that costs too much money." While she knew that some marriages didn't result in divorce, she had grown up around plenty that did. She smiled at all of the couple things that he listed. "I'd love to do all those things with you. Maybe we should ask around or something. There are like a million happy couples in this town. I'm sure we can learn a lot from them."

Khristian stared at her, equally as dumbfounded. He wasn't sure what to expect, but an are you sure was not it. The words rang in his head as he nodded, the silly look not leaving his face. "Yeah, put a lot of thought into it." He finally managed to get out, the words seeming more sarcastic and poisonous once out of his lips.
"True," HeuSeoh agreed after some thought. "Of course, we can always just live as a married couple for years and years and never be married. Then if anything were to happen, we won't have to pay for the divorce." He said excitedly, then laughed at Morgan's suggestion, "Walk around and just be, 'hey, we're doing a survey. If you could do anything with your significant other, what would want to do?'" He said playfully, holding his hand close to Morgan's face as if holding a microphone.
