Jihoon felt a smile spread onto his face listening to Anbai's comforting words. "You are absolutely adorable, you know that?" He stroked the back of Anbai's hand. "Thank you, though. I still feel like a selfish jerk... but much less of one now."
He stared out the window, thinking for a few seconds, "you may have forgiven me, but how much is Anlan going to kill me," he laughed a little. "Your sister can be terrifying when she wants to be."

"Adorable?" Anbai squeaked. They hadn't ever considered themselves, nor been called, adorable. Or at least not in a long time. Anbai laughed when Jihoon mentioned Anlan. "Oh, she would love to pick you apart, I'm sure. She did agree to let you stay with us, though, which tells me she doesn't absolutely despise you. But there could be some feelings of hatred there." They shrugged. "But I don't know. You'll have to figure it out for yourself." Anbai stuck out their tongue for a second, not even sure if Jihoon caught it, before muttering, "We're at the restaurant." It was a local, small-chain diner that was not too far from the airport. Anbai recalled they had good milkshakes and pancakes, but hadn't actually been to this particular in quite a few years.

"Have you seen you? How do you not look in the mirror and see adorable?" Jihoon smiled. "I'll take whatever Anlan dishes out. You're too nice, and you know she'll say so. She'll give me hell for herself and for you."
Jihoon looked out the window at the diner, "milkshakes?" he asked, excited by the prospect. He got out of the car and walked around to the driver's seat, opening the door for Anbai, "I'm starving."

Anbai felt like they were blushing, and a peek at the rearview mirror told them they were. They shrugged weakly, not having an answer.
Anbai nodded at Jihoon's question, following him out of the car and to the door of the restaurant. "Well then, I hope this place is as good I remember." They said softly, adding a muttered 'thank you' as they went inside.
A hostess was quick to come to them, and Anbai noticed the restaurant wasn't crowded at the moment. "Hello, for two?" The hostess asked.
Anbai nodded.
The hostess motioned for them to follow and led to them to a booth by the window, asking if this table was fine.
"Yes, thank you." Anbai said politely, sitting down and waiting for the hostess to leave before looking at Jihoon. "So, is Washington as you remember it?"

Jihoon followed Anbai in and sat across from them, thanking the hostess as they left. "Washington is...." he trailed off, thinking. He ran a hand through his hair and laughed softly, "to be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to Washington. Just you."
He crinkled his nose at himself, "sorry, I'm being cheesy again." He purposely made himself look out the window, "yep, it's still green and it's still here, just like I remember it."

Anbai scrunched up their nose at Jihoon. "You are being super cheesy." They agreed. Anbai rolled their eyes at the comment. "Maybe I'll ask you again in a week or so. Be sure to not just pay attention to me or I'll lock you out my room 24/7." They said. Anbai thanked the waitress as she brought them water and asked if they were ready to order, and Anbai looked at Jihoon, "do you actually know what you want, or do we need more time?" They asked.

Jihoon grinned, "I'll try to look around instead of just at you." He glanced down at the menu to check one last time, then ordered.
He rested his head on his laced fingers and raised an eyebrow, "lock me out of your room? You mean I'm allowed in your room?"

Anbai hit Jihoon with the menu they were holding. "So cheesy." They scolded, making a point of hiding behind the menu once Jihoon moved on to the other thing they said. "You were, theoretically. Anlan has weird hours, so having you sleep on the couch would probably be inconvenient." They smirked, "I think you'll be fine, though." They ordered their food and gave the menu up to the server. Anbai made a point of looking out the window, wondering if Jihoon would make any more sappy remarks.

Jihoon reached out and took Anbai's hand gently. "Hey, we're doing whatever makes you and your sister the most comfortable. I can sleep wherever and I don't mind the noise, so if you want me on the couch, I'm there."
He withdrew his hand, "it's already enough that you're letting me stay with you until I find a place." He looked out the window, "I know this whole getting back together is sudden and we don't have to pick up where we left off, okay."

Anbai shook their head, taking their hand out from under Jihoon's and patting his hand. "No need to get serious," They said, now holding Jihoon's hand. "If you keep acting up though, couch." They said, glaring at Jihoon but also smiling a bit.
They retracted their hands and sighed, "Honestly, I know I still have feelings for you, but if we tried to pick it up like nothing happened, I'd feel way too weird. I appreciate you being willing to go slow."

"Acting up? Me?" Jihoon asked innocently, "how am I acting up?"
Jihoon offered a small smile, he didn't want to rush Anbai when they weren't ready. He knew how he felt, but his mothers had always encouraged him to know his own mind and feelings, but not everyone was like that. Plus, even though the break up was mutual and amicable, it still hurt. "You set the pace, I just follow."

"You're being sappy, it's awful." Anbai replied, trying to seem annoyed, though they were more amused than anything. "Fine, that's a deal." THey said in response to Jihoon's final words. Luckily, before they had to think of anything more to say, their drinks and food came out. Anbai glanced over their food to look at what Jihoon ordered. It looked good. Definitely... American. They chuckled a bit, "Enjoy your first American meal in... how many years has it been? I'd guess at least five..."

"In too long, that's how long," he said, practically drooling at the American breakfast on his plate. Did he need pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast AND a milkshake? No, but he was certainly going to eat it all.
"I apologize in advance for you having to roll me back out to your car later, but I've already committed," he said, taking his first bite of french toast and sighing. "This is heavenly~" he mused.
