YOU HAVEN'T HAD LUNCH YET, HAVE YOU?

LET ME TREAT YOU TO SOMETHING NICE. WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE?

ALL I DID WAS HELP HIM CHOOSE A GIFT... ISN'T THIS PLACE A BIT TOO FANCY FOR THAT?

HAVE YOU DECIDED WHAT TO ORDER?

OH, YEAH...

BUT OPPA... THIS RESTAURANT LOOKS REALLY EXPENSIVE...

COME ON, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE PRICE. JUST GET WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE.

YOU GAVE UP YOUR WEEKEND TO HELP ME OUT. TREATING YOU TO LUNCH IS THE LEAST I CAN DO.

EVEN SO...

IF YOU CAN'T DECIDE, I'LL ORDER FOR YOU.

The most expensive thing on the menu.

O-OKAY! I'LL PICK SOMETHING!!

WOW, THIS IS SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS!

GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING IT.

DELICIOUS DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT...!

IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE...

HAHAHA.

BY THE WAY, DAWON.

YEAH?

ARE YOU SEEING ANYONE RIGHT NOW?

AH...

W-WELL, YOU SEE...

I'M SORRY, OPPA, BUT I'M NOT LOOKING TO DATE ANYONE FOR A WHILE!

ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE REASONS I TOOK A LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL AND CAME HOME...

WAS BECAUSE MY LAST RELATIONSHIP LEFT ME COMPLETELY DRAINED...

I WENT THROUGH A LOT EMOTIONALLY...

NO, DAWON. HOLD ON.

I THINK YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG IDEA.

THAT'S NOT WHY I ASKED.

...HUH?

THE TRUTH IS... A FRIEND OF MINE ASKED ME TO SET YOU TWO UP.

BUT IF YOU'VE ALREADY DECIDED TO STAY SINGLE, I GUESS YOU MUST'VE HAD A PRETTY ROUGH EXPERIENCE...

I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. I'M SORRY.

OH! AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOU THAT WAY, OKAY?

WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR AGES, AFTER ALL.

R-RIGHT...

COULD YOU LET YOUR FRIEND KNOW FOR ME...?

OF COURSE. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

SORRY FOR CATCHING YOU OFF GUARD. NOW, DON’T LET YOUR FOOD GO TO WASTE.

All-right?

OF COURSE! I’LL EAT EVERY LAST BITE.

HMM...

I GUESS I SHOULDN’T COME ON TOO STRONG JUST YET.

Enjoy your meal, Dawon.

UGH, I'M SO FULL...

OPPA TURNED OUT TO BE A MUCH BETTER LISTENER THAN I EXPECTED. I ENDED UP TELLING HIM MORE THAN I'D PLANNED...

And then, you know what happened...?

I HOPE I DIDN'T EMBARRASS MYSELF...

GU DAWON.

WHY ARE YOU GETTING HOME SO LATE?

DID THAT BASTARD KEEP YOU OUT ALL THIS TIME?

WHAT...?

THAT BASTARD...? IS HE TALKING ABOUT TAEHYEON OPPA?

...WE JUST LOST TRACK OF TIME CHATTING.

SERIOUSLY, YOU... YOU SHOULD'VE WATCHED HOW MUCH YOU DRANK.

HE GOT YOU DRUNK AND COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO BRING YOU HOME...

WAIT A SECOND...

WHY IS HE SUDDENLY LECTURING ME...?

HEY, JUNG JIHYUK. YOU KNOW WHAT?

INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT ME, WHY DON'T YOU PAY MORE ATTENTION TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

WHAT...?

G-GIRLFRIEND...?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

Chapter Analysis: Childhood Friends Romance — Chapter 10

Chapter Analysis Childhood Friends Romance — Chapter 10
Childhood Friends Romance Chapter 10 shifts the focus away from the hometown tension for a polished lunch date with Taehyeon Oppa, who treats Dawon to a luxurious restaurant as thanks for helping pick out a gift. Dawon lets her guard down more than she intended because he is an attentive listener, enjoying the meal and the easy conversation after her decision to step back from draining relationships. The mood turns when Oppa asks directly if she is seeing someone, prompting Dawon to explain that her last relationship left her exhausted and that she does not want to date for a while. He quickly apologizes and frames the question as a favor for a friend who wanted a setup, though his private thought about not pushing her too hard yet suggests he has his own interest. Childhood Friends Romance Chapter 10 uses that moment to show Dawon trying to set a clear boundary while remaining unaware of how others read her availability. Back home late, that boundary is immediately tested by a tense encounter with Jung Jihyuk, whose jealous greeting sparks an argument about drinking and his alleged girlfriend. Childhood Friends Romance Chapter 10 ends on that friction, contrasting Oppa's careful patience with Jihyuk's possessive frustration and leaving Dawon caught between being pursued and being scolded.
