When they reached the restaurant, Das asked as he sat in front of Elena. "What do you want to eat?"

Elena took the last bite from the last packet of snacks, "For now, I need water."

Das sighed and filled the glass with water. "Chug it."

Elena grabbed the glass, moved it to her lips, then took a sip and glanced at Das. "Why do you look in a bad mood."

"Who knows? Maybe it's because of some idiot who got angry for no reason."

Elena forcefully put down the glass on the table and fixed her gaze on Das' eyes, then said, "If you have something to say, then say it on my face."

Das picked up the glass and forced it on Elena's lips. "I don't want to fight with you, so let's drop this topic here."

Elena's gaze softened as she started drinking the water.

"May I have your order, please?" the waiter asked.

Das glanced at the waiter and noticed the waiter was staring at Elena or, rather, at her c.h.e.s.t.

"Say, do you like this job?" Das asked.

The waiter glanced at Das' and asked, "Excuse me?"

"I asked if you like this job or not?"

"Of course I do. The pay is nice."

"Good." Das then glared at the waiter, "Then focus on your job."

"..." the waiter knew what Das was trying to say. He smirked and said, "I know how I am supposed to do my job, and I don't need someone to teach me that."

"I see." Das took out his phone, typed something, and then looked at the waiter before putting his phone back in the pocket.

The waiter then looked at Elena and smiled. "May I have your order, please?"

Elena glanced at the waiter, then looked at Das before raising her hand. "Excuse me!" She yelled.

Everyone's attention was diverted to Elena, but nothing else happened.

Elena took a deep breath and yelled again, "Excuse me!"

"Miss, is something wrong?" the waiter asked.

Elena paid no attention to the waiter and yelled again, "Excuse me!"

The manager finally came out of his office and walked to their table. "Miss, would you please stop shouting. You are disturbing other customers."

"We are sitting here for good five minutes, but no one came to ask for our orders." 

Das was shocked, not from Elena's statement but from her sudden change in behavior.

The manager looked at the waiter standing beside him and said, "Miss, the waiter is standing right beside you."

"Where?"

The manager pointed his hand at the waiter.

"Oh!" Elena put up a surprised face and continued, "This person is a waiter? I thought he was a pervert who kept staring at my body."

"Miss?"

"Nothing. I didn't know perverts can get jobs too."

The manager looked at the waiter, then at Das-- and his eyes widened. "Come to my office, now!" the manager left.

The waiter glared at Elena, then glared at Das. "You are dead."

"I will have the same," said Das.

Das gulped down as he glanced at Elena.

'What was that? What the hell was that?!' Das filled the glass with water and drank it in one go. 

'I had no idea Elena was like this... wait! Is she Elena? What if she is her twin sister?'

'I wouldn't know it, right? But wait... she was just acting like Elena when we were in the store. But... they are twins, so their personality should be the same too, right?' 

Das didn't want to believe that the girl sitting in front of him was Elena.

"What's wrong?" Elena questioned.

"Well.... what was... that?" Das couldn't speak straight.

"He was staring at me like a pervert, so I just taught him a lesson."

"So you knew he was staring at you?"

"Of course. Girls know when someone is staring at them." It's the same with everyone, not just girls.

"I... see." Das was even more scared now.

"Some girls like being stared at, but I don't." She hugged herself and muttered, "I just feel creepy."

'Does that mean she knew when I was looking at... her?' Das suddenly started regretting his actions.

'But she was sleeping, so I don't think she knows. I am safe... right?' He was being overly optimistic.

'But I was staring at her this all time. Even when I was talking with her--even now, before that bastard came, my eyes were totally fixated on her... what if she humiliates me in public?'

'No... that's not the problem. What if she hates me now?'

Das kept thinking of the worst possibilities.

Even when the food they ordered arrived, Das couldn't enjoy it or look at Elena.

"What's wrong? You are acting strange, Das."

"I am fine."

Elena had no idea about Das staring at her, and if she knew that, she would have been happy rather than angry.

They finished eating and order some food for take-away.

They were still sitting in the same spot.

"I wonder if the snacks arrived yet." Elena wondered.

"Probably. We are here for about thirty minutes now. Plus, we wasted some more time with that thief and our way here."

Elena smiled at Das and said, "You finally looked at me."

Das' face slightly flushed as he turned his face to the side.

"I wonder if I would be able to eat all that in one day."

"Don't eat it. You will get sick, you know? We have an exam tomorrow, so please take care of yourself."

"But if I don't eat, mom would see them and yell at me."

"...."

"What's with that face? You keep making that face today."

"I am just surprised how your mother raised you. She has my respect."

"Why do I feel like you just insulted me?"

Das waved his hand and said, "Nope. I just praised your mother."

Elena was somehow ticked off by that statement and puffed her cheeks.
