If Alkaid Hall was a place for select VIPs, Alioth Hall was where they'd gathered delicious food from around the world.
Kim EunAh brought Shin YuSung a dessert, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? Where's YuSung?" Kim EunAh asked in confusion.
"I don't know. Maybe he went out a little bit?" Amy, who had already fallen for the food, gave her an uninterested answer.
"But I picked out and brought food for him"
EunAh looked at the beef Wellington on the plate shed brought for YuSung, who really liked meat. Not only that but there was also tiramisuthe first dessert he'd tasted at the cafe.
"Haa This lobster is crazy. I feel like my tongue is about to melt" Amy fussed as she continued to eat the food.
EunAh continued to look for YuSung, but he was still nowhere to be seen after five minutes of searching.
'When is he coming?'
Kim EunAh absently scratched the plate with a ford.
"Haa I'd like to eat like this every day. Ah, EunAh! Can I taste that tiramisu?" Amy said, her mouth full of food.
Amy eyed the tiramisu, her eyes shining, but EunAh was feeling a bit annoyed at YuSungs absence.
"No. I'm going to eat it all, so get one yourself."
It was too much to eat alone, but still, EunAh ate a spoon of it.
The soft sensation of cream, cheese, and coffee powder spread through her mouth.
A familiar scent remained on EunAh's nose.
'What's this smell?'
The smell was kahlaalcohol made with a variant of arabica coffee was in the tiramisu.
Crunch.
'It's really delicious Although there isn't anything he doesn't eat, he's definitely going to like this.'
Kim EunAh took another spoon of tiramisu and thought about how YuSung always ordered tiramisu when he went to a cafe.
'He doesn't like coffee because it's too bitter Yet he likes coffee cake.'
From what Kim EunAh had seen, YuSung favored sweet things.
'Who eats tiramisu with banana milk in a cafe?'
Crunch.
'Stupid Besides tiramisu and banana milk there are many other delicious desserts from around the world'
Kim EunAh sighed and ate another spoonful of tiramisu.

The night sky could be seen from Alkaid Hall's terrace. Sumire gave YuSung a serious look before she opened her mouth to speak.
"I got this message earlier today, but I feel like I need to show it to you, YuSung."
It was something that the previous Sumire wouldn't have dared to do, and YuSung was surprised at the unexpected gesture.
"Sumire?"
He felt the warmth emanating from her hands.
Sumire looked up at him and said, "YuSung" with a serious look in her eyes.
It was the first time she had looked at him in such a way.
"You can rely on me a bit more if you're struggling with something."
YuSung was trying to solve the problems that Shin HaYoon created to bother him. Besides that, he'd never shown Sumire his weak side.
For Sumire, YuSung was always strong, and she admired him.
"I'm not as strong as you, YuSung and I'm also not as intelligent so I'm not sure if I could be helpful." Sumire gathered courage and kept talking. "But still I want to at least listen to your worries."
Her courage only lasted for a moment, and her face reddened as she became aware of YuSungs stare.
"B-because we're p-party members!" Sumire quickly let his hands go.
"Yes. Thank you, Sumire." YuSung gave her a soft smile, and she gazed back at him with a blank expression.
Three seconds of silence passed.
Surprised, it took her a few moments to return to her senses. "Ah! I I! I want to stay in your party, YuSung!" she quickly added.
Her rushed reply and honest appearance made YuSungs worries vanish.
"Even if they gave me a couple of million I want to stay in this party" Sumire suddenly stopped talking and lowered her face. "That's why you dont need to worry about this proposal."
He felt as if a heavy weight had disappeared and was about to say something when
Slide-
The terrace door opened.
Tap! Tap!
He heard footsteps approaching and a weird laugh.
"He Hehe."
Paf!
Someone hugged Shin YuSung.
"Our~ YuSung~ So you were here?"
"M-Miss EunAh?!"
Sumire's eyes widened. It appeared that EunAh had gotten drunk off of the tiramisu.
"E-EunAh? YuSung asked in surprise.
Kim EunAh, drunk, jumped up from behind and grabbed Shin YuSung's cheeks.
"You cutie~ Where were you?"
EunAh, smiling mischievously, was the first person at the banquet who had gotten drunk off of a traditional tiramisu.
