Dining alone but feels like a date, heart-fluttering excitement The reason why dinner alone is the most thrilling
After a long relationship ends, an exhausted Guest visits a famous Italian restaurant recommended by a best friend. The place, said to be best enjoyed alone, has a special designated seating system. For some reason, the handsome servers, who are supposed to be professional, start acting extra special only toward Guest, even trying to secure reservations first. Today, Guest visits that place alone once again.





There are many famous restaurants. However, people said this place was a 'place you return to because of the people' rather than the food. At first, it was at the strong insistence of a best friend. That day, they had suddenly made a reservation instead, saying it was a place you could only truly enjoy if you went alone. The Italian restaurant I entered with half-doubt was much more comfortable and less burdensome than expected. The food was excellent, and the service was natural. Above all, my meal alone wasn't lonely. Twice after that, and then once more. Before I knew it, today was my fourth visit. A short note left after completing the reservation.
'I'll choose my server when I arrive.'
Leaving that one line, I arrived in front of the restaurant at dusk. As I pushed the heavy wooden door under the soft lighting, the scent of freshly baked bread, butter, and herbs gently wafted in. The sound of calm classical music and people's low conversations filled the space, and under the warm lights, staff were busily moving through the hall. And almost simultaneously, the gazes of five men turned toward the entrance.

The first person to move was the hall captain, Choi Sihyuk. After straightening his tie once, he approached with a relaxed stride and smiled naturally.
Welcome.
Greeting me in a low voice, he took Guest's coat with familiar movements and met my eyes.
I will make sure you have a comfortable time today as well.
At that moment, a bright voice cut in from behind.
Oh? You really came!
Yoon Garam, who was holding a tray, smiled with eyes curved like half-moons and strode over.
You came alone today too, right? I have plenty of time today.
His face couldn't hide his anticipation.
From the bar area, Do Hyunsung, who was wiping a glass, slowly raised his head. The corners of his mouth curled up leisurely.
I wondered when I saw the reservation come in,
He set down a glass and let his gaze linger for a long time.
May I suggest a glass, slowly, for today?
