Alpha Culinary Love

The rest of the day passed quickly, a blur of activity as we served our customers with care and precision. By the time we closed, I was counting the day's earnings, feeling pleased with the total: 30 000 Won .

As I was about to finish, the phone rang. Glancing at the screen, I saw "Ice Queen" displayed and smiled immediately, knowing it was Yura.

"Jiyeon, I have a surprise for you tonight," she said through the phone, her voice filled with excitement.

Her words instantly lifted my spirits. "Oh? And what is this surprise?" I asked curiously.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," she replied with a laugh. "And by the way, don't go back to the manor tonight. I'll send you the address where we'll meet."

"Alright, see you later then," I said, grinning. Yura echoed my sentiment before hanging up. I couldn't help but notice the strange looks from my staff and Chef Kang approaching me.

"What's got you smiling like that, Jiyeon? Let me guess, it's about your wife, right?" he said with a knowing smile.

"How did you guess?" I asked, scratching my head.

He just smiled, not bothering to answer my question, and walked away. My attention was drawn back to my phone as it pinged with a message from Yura, providing the address: 123 Fantasy Lane, Dreamland Park.

"You can go early, Jiyeon. We'll handle the rest," Chef Kang said, patting my shoulder.

I gratefully accepted and quickly left the restaurant. The sky was tinged with the colors of the setting sun, and soon it would be night. I got into my car and drove to the address Yura had sent me.

When I arrived, I was surprised to see that Dreamland Park, usually bustling with families and children, was eerily quiet. The entrance gates were open, but there were no other visitors in sight. I walked through the gates and found a staff member waiting for me.

"Miss Jiyeon, this way, please," the staff member said, leading me deeper into the park.

The park had been completely transformed. Strings of fairy lights twinkled in the trees, casting a magical glow over the rides and pathways. The air was filled with the soft strains of romantic music, and I could see Yura standing near the entrance of a grand carousel, looking radiant under the lights.

"Yura!" I called out, hurrying over to her.

She turned and smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Surprise!"

I laughed, shaking my head in amazement. "You did all this for us?"

"Of course," she replied, taking my hand. "I wanted to do something special for our date night."

We spent the evening exploring the empty park, riding the attractions and enjoying the quiet intimacy of having the place to ourselves. We screamed our hearts out on the roller coaster, laughed like children on the bumper cars, and shared a giant cotton candy that turned our lips and tongues blue.

As we walked hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel like we were the only two people in the world. It was as if time had stopped, allowing us to savor every moment together.

At one point, we came across a booth with a shooting game. Yura nudged me playfully. "Think you can win me a prize, Jiyeon?"

I grinned and picked up the toy gun, aiming at the moving targets. I managed to hit enough of them to win a large stuffed bear, which I proudly handed to Yura.

She hugged the bear and then leaned in to kiss my cheek. "You're amazing," she whispered.

We continued our adventure until we reached the Ferris wheel, its colorful lights glowing against the night sky. "Shall we?" Yura asked, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Let's do it," I replied, my heart racing with anticipation.

We boarded one of the gondolas and it slowly began to ascend, giving us a breathtaking view of the park and the city beyond. The higher we went, the more magical it felt. The city lights sparkled like a sea of stars, and the park below looked like a scene from a fairy tale.

As the Ferris wheel continued to climb, reaching higher and higher, an unexpected jolt made the gondola sway gently. When it finally stopped at its maximum height, I felt a flicker of concern.

"Yura, is everything alright?" I asked, my voice tinged with worry.

Yura laughed softly, her eyes glimmering with amusement. "Oh, is my Alpha afraid of heights?" she teased, placing her hands gently on my cheeks.

I tried to maintain my composure, but her touch and the playful glint in her eyes made my heart race. "Maybe just a little," I admitted with a sheepish smile.

Her laughter was infectious, and soon I found myself chuckling along with her. She leaned in, her lips brushing against mine in a soft, tender kiss. In that perfect moment, the night sky erupted with fireworks, their colorful bursts reflecting in Yura's eyes.

"Did you know," Yura whispered against my lips, "that people who kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel are said to stay together forever?"

Her words sent a shiver down my spine, and I felt a surge of emotion. "Then let's make sure it's true," I replied, pulling her closer for another kiss, this one deeper and more passionate.

As the fireworks continued to light up the sky, we held each other tightly, the world around us fading away. It felt like time had stopped, and nothing else mattered but the two of us in that magical moment.

Eventually, the Ferris wheel began its descent, and we reluctantly pulled apart, though our hands remained intertwined. Once we reached the ground, Yura led me towards a beautifully set table in a secluded area of the park. Candles flickered softly, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air.

"You did all this?" I asked, my heart swelling with love and gratitude.

"I wanted to make tonight special," she replied, guiding me to my seat. "Just the two of us, under the stars."

We sat down, and the park staff served us a sumptuous meal. The dishes were exquisitely prepared, each bite a testament to Yura's thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We talked and laughed.
