Over dinner

It is always interesting to observe what happens over dinner. A dinner with a group of not-so-close friends.
Everyone seems to be interested to get to know one another better, yet wary of the other person as well. Everyone keeps a light-hearted attitude, cracking jokes but may unknowingly offend someone at the table.
As usual, it is a mixture of girls and boys. No one knows another person particulary well to read his/her mind. So every person at the table is an observer and target of attention at the same time. However it is not hard to notice that it is usually the prettiest girl who will get the guys' attention.
It is also fascinating to guess what's on each other's mind. What is truth? And what is a casual remark?
In Korean dramas, it is always a dinner of four young people, each having their own motives and thoughts. Like A is always paying attention to B, while C is flirting with B and D likes A.
A simple affair but with complicated outcomes.
