"Who is it?"
Anna shook her head and said, "No, I must have mistaken." As if recalling something, Anna asked, "This is in Korea, going out for late-night snacks will get us photographed."
"Are you scared?" Chan-yeol asked.
Anna smiled slightly and calmly replied, "It's not fear, it's just a fact. Even being your friend requires maintaining a secretive state; it must never be known by others."
Park Chan-yeol glanced at Anna but did not respond. The girl sitting next to him was neither stunning nor noble, lacking outstanding temperament or anything particularly unique. Perhaps it was during their first meeting, in a fleeting glance, that her demeanor bore some resemblance to Sister Yura's, which made him want to get to know her. Later, Anna's stubbornness and resilience, different from Yura's, combined with the ironic twists of fate, seemed to have instilled in Chan-yeol a habitual way of thinking that he could not shake off. All these emotions arose ultimately because of Sister Yura, who had long since left him. Chan-yeol knew this was unfair to Anna, yet he could not suppress the growth and spread of these feelings.
Anna truly did not know how Park Chan-yeol usually found these places. A small restaurant somewhere in Seoul Gyeonggi Province called Moon Restaurant had an exceptionally simple name. Inside, the diners and the owner were mostly older men and women; upon seeing a boy like Chan-yeol, they would only think he looked good and would not create any chaotic situations typical elsewhere.
"You really have a talent for finding such places," Anna couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing Anna's astonished expression, Park Chan-yeol smiled proudly.
"But don't you have anything to do tomorrow? Coming here so leisurely for a meal? Also, won't you get scolded for gaining weight from late-night snacks? Won't the other members be curious about you not returning to the dorm so late? Or do you often stay out all night?" Anna asked in rapid succession.
Park Chan-yeol chuckled and said, "With you asking me so many questions at once, where should I start answering? And when did you become so curious about me?"
Accidentally meeting Park Chan-yeol's gaze, Anna felt a bit touched and quickly turned her face away, saying, "Just asking casually."
"You asked so many questions? Why not ask about the girl you saw, who she really is?" Park Chan-yeol said.
Anna rested her chin on her hand, glanced at him, then turned her gaze away, smiling as she said, "Isn't it obvious? I could figure it out with my knee."
"Oh? Is that so? Go ahead and tell me," Park Chan-yeol replied, also resting his chin on his hand while looking at Anna.
Suddenly feeling a bit closer, Anna instinctively leaned back and said, "Do I really need to spell it out? Come on, we all know what's going on. You idols dating, it's always like this."
"And then?" Park Chan-yeol continued.
"And then..." Anna thought for a moment and smiled, "Your taste is pretty good; that girl is really beautiful. Also, I promise to keep it a secret and act like I didn't see anything. Don't worry."
"Is that all?" Park Chan-yeol remained unfazed.
Seeing his unchanged expression left Anna a bit puzzled. She nodded and looked at Chan-yeol blankly, saying, "Yeah, that's all."
"Alright, now it's my turn to speak," Park Chan-yeol said with a slight smile. "That girl is Kim Mi-kyung. We met seven years ago in Australia, but we are not lovers—never were and never will be. So, Miss Anna, please put away your imagination and focus more on the truth from now on."
"You've known each other for seven years? Why aren't you together if she's that beautiful?" Anna asked in surprise.
"Does the length of time you've known someone or how good-looking they are determine whether they should be together as a couple?" Park Chan-yeol replied somewhat frustrated.
"Of course it does," Anna said matter-of-factly.
Park Chan-yeol looked at Anna, who seemed very reasonable, with a mix of amusement and speechlessness. He helplessly nodded and said, "Alright, I guess you win."
