"One more apple, please."

Herin gave a smile to the employee, asking for another apple while on a grocery spree.

Grabbing the paper bag with dark red apples and busting the price from the counter she made her way to the freezer section.

She pushed against the cart as her finger's were wrapped around its metal. Stopping by the cold drinks, Herin reached up to get hold of the cocktail juice for Taewon.

Biting her bottom lip as she clearly struggled to grab the juice bottle, She stood on her tip toes while still frowning at her height.

Before she could give up miserly, the sparkling juice bottle was picked up by a light tan hand with ease.
Herin turned around as eyes trailed the long arm, watching the man infront of her extend his hand forward.

"Here."
He smiled as his soft, dirty blond gracefully slicked back by the fragrant hair gell. A Relaxed expression sat on his attractive features.

Herin gladly took the bottle out his palms, giving a wide, glistering smile right back.
"Thank you." She spoke.

"No problem, saw you going through a hard time there.." He glanced at the towering fridge, eyeing it's length that was no doubt, very tall for Herin.

She chuckled, "Yeah, I guess my height isn't that much."
"True." He laughed along.
The aisle being filled with their tender cackles.

"You live around here?" He asked, a pale pink blush swirling around his light melanin cheek.

"Yes, 23rd street by here."
"Oh, I live on the 22nd."

Herin's eyes slightly widened,
"Woah, really? How come I haven't ever seen you in the neighbourhood?"

"Well, I kinda just moved in with my grandma. She apparently likes the weather here so.." He cut himself of with a charming gummy smile, nervously letting out a chuckle.

Herin chortled at him.
"That's sweet, your grandma must like it here a lot then. How's the shifting process going?"

"Yeah it's fine..just pretty long and tiring." He scratched the back of his neck, eyes gazing down the floor tiles.

"Oh..I hope everything manages out well." Herin pulled her lips into a thin line, pluming them together.

"Yeah, Hope so." He fetched out his phone, stepping a few foot back."I'll get going now, See you around?"

His brows raised with expectations, giving her a small smile by his turned up lips.
Herin nodded, "Of course, and thank you once again, bye!" She waved off to him, watching the blond hair of his dissappear from sight in a hurry.

"And this."

Taewon sighed, pinching his temples with eyes closed.
"You bought this again?"

Herin placed her hands on her hips.
"Yes I did, beacuse it helps with our immune system and makes our metabolism work faster, And-"

"Okay okay, I'll eat it." Taewon proceeded to pull the groceries out of the bags and place into the cabinets.

After the two siblings were done putting in their groceries at the depth of sunset, it fell dark.
The lightning moon making it's way out, and into the pitch black sky, dominating the world under.

Taewon was seated on the couch, attention being showered on the TV as Herin striked down form the stairs.

With a huge smile on her lips, she sat opposite to Taewon while fitting her chin in her palms.

His head moved to side ways, eyes focusing on the TV screen instead of Herin infront of him.
She covered his sight by her head moving where his moved, coveting to see the screen with local news playing.

"Move." Taewon glared down at her giddy face.
"Can we get ice cream's?"
"No"
Herin frowned, lips forming into a pout."Please?"

Taewon pushed her face away with his palm, making her get up with the smile being wiped off her face.
"Go to your room and study."

"But I already finished my work-"
"I said go to your room and study."

Herin sighed, the happiness that lasted for a second or so was flushed right out her in an instant.

She dragged her feet upstairs, spending the thursday night, star gazing alone.
