This man.
This ridiculous sweet, thoughtful man.
I squeeze his hand in silent retaliation, and he just beams harder.
We continue like that—comfortable, easy—until Tae finally pulls into a parking lot, and I realize where we are.
A bustling Korean street market.
Oh.
The second I step out of the car, my senses are overwhelmed in the best way possible.
The rich scent of sizzling meat fills the air, mixed with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly made tteokbokki.

People weave through the colorful stalls, laughter and chatter blending into the perfect backdrop.
It’s lively. Familiar.
And suddenly, I understand why Taehyung brought me here.
I turn to him, heart already swelling.
“You—” I start.
“You love street food,” Tae finishes, eyes bright. “I wanted to take you somewhere that feels like home.”
And just like that, I’m speechless.
Because he gets it.
This isn’t some extravagant, over-the-top date. It’s thoughtful. It’s sweet.
It’s so Taehyung.
He rocks on his heels, looking up at me expectantly. “Did I do good?”
I exhale, soft and fond. “You did perfect.”
His whole face lights up.
And I don’t even hesitate before reaching for his hand again.
Tae’s smile could rival the sun as he intertwines our fingers and pulls me into the crowd.
Midway through the market, Tae spots a claw machine.
“Oh!” He gasps. “Hyung, let’s win a plushie!”
I smirk. “You mean, I will win a plushie?”
Tae gasps in mock offense. “Excuse me, I’m excellent at claw machines.”
“Sure you are,” I snort.
And that’s how it starts.
One turn in, Tae fails miserably. The claw picks up a plushie and drops it at the last second.
He gapes at the machine, personally offended. “This thing is rigged.”
I cackle. “Told you.”
“Your turn,” he huffs, stepping aside.
I roll my shoulders, cracking my knuckles dramatically. “Watch and learn, kid.”
I take my shot—and fail.
Tae gasps. “Oh? Not so easy, is it, hyung?”
I narrow my eyes. “Best two out of three.”
