Wake up Call

Chapter 29

I peeked around a rack of clothes, "Jimin?"

He wasn't there. I huffed in frustration. I turned away to say bye too Joon and now he was gone. I walked back out of the shop and scanned the area. If this wasted our precious time together...

"Right here." Jimin said.

I turned to find him standing next to me. He smiled and I forced myself to hold in the fangirling.

"I thought we had gotten past the fluttery fangirl feels." I scolded myself.

"Sorry if I came a little early. Namjoon is going to be mad at me later." He said.

"It's okay." I tucked my hair behind my ear and looked down, "I was just trying to find you."

"Come on. Lets walk around some. Is there any places your interested in?" He asked.

"Not really, I-" I stopped mid sentence.

There was a bit of a tight knotted feeling in my stomach. The tension suddenly released itself as a deep gurgling sound. Jimin laughed.

"I guess you haven't had lunch yet?" He smiled and I hid my face.

"Don't laugh at me, this is so embarrassing." I mumbled into my hands.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, you're just too cute." He said as he pulled my hands away from my face, still with that beaming smile on his face.

I pouted, "You don't look very sorry."

Jimin smoothed my hair, "Let's just go get something to eat. We don't get to spend much time together today."

I couldn't help but smile as I nodded and followed Jimin. He led me to an area that could be considered the 'food court' of Goto Mall.

"What do you want to eat?" Jimin asked.

"Mmm.. How about there?" I pointed to a tteokbokki soup shop.

"Really?!" Jimin raised his brow, "Tteokbokki is usually pretty spicy you know. I thought you didn't like spicy foods."

"Oh. Well, I kinda want to try it though.. Hm, if you think it will be too spicy for me then that's okay." I smiled and looked up to him.

"..Okay, what if I buy tteokbokki and let you try mine. If you like it I'll order more, but you can also start with something less spicy. I'm sure they have other dishes.." He said.

I nodded, "Okay, sounds good!"

We headed over to the shop and we sat down at one of the tables in the shop. Jimin placed our orders and the food was quickly delivered to us.

"Here you go." Jimin handed me the spoon and watched as I brought the soup to my lips.

"Mm, ? Oh! OH! Oh My Goodness! That is spicy!" With a spice tolerance of zero, I was feeling incredibly warm, and my taste buds were tingling with a burning sensation.

I started sucking in sharp breaths to cool my mouth and fanning myself with my hands.

Jimin laughed and handed me a glass of water, "Suck on the ice, it will help."

I gratefully took the cup and poured the icy water into my mouth. I rolled the ice cube around till it had numbed my mouth to the burning.

"Better?" He asked.

I nodded and pushed the bowl back towards him, "Yep. You were right, tteokbokki is too spicy for me."

"There are other flavors if you want, I just like the spicy ones." He took the spoon back and tried the soup.
