Take me away to your hometown

Surprise! An update! I'm finally seeing txt so I just wanna share some happiness~

Not far from where they came from, the boys finally reached the town's market. There were tons of people walking around, music stores were everywhere, and there were food stalls too where the boys could eat. In conclusion, it's a huge ass market compared to their hometown's overpriced ones that only people who can afford can step in.

If you're poorer than average, you just gotta have to sacrifice a little and travel downtown where a small area is located as cheap things were sold in every shop in the said location.

"It looks festive here." Taehyun commented.

"Oh yeah, about that. They do have a festival today, though it's gonna happen in the evening so they're somewhat still preparing for it."

"Festival huh... I wish we could see it." A floating sentiment filled the air, the urge to let the younger stay here just so he could see the prettiest beam on his face made Beomgyu want to just snatch Taehyun away. Just this night... if only he can.

"Hey, are you hungry?" feeling the air getting heavier, Beomgyu changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, I didn't eat breakfast."

"Wait, you eat breakfast?"

"Uhh, yeah. Who doesn't?"

"Everyone? The real question here should be 'who eats breakfast'. Anyway, I know a stall that sells good kimbap and tteokbokki, way better than those overpriced convenience store food."

He let himself get dragged by the older to the stall he mentioned as they chowed down the dishes that are usually being eaten around lunch to dinner but anyway, food is food and his stomach is grumbling.

After filling their bellies and bidding their thank you to the stall owner that apparently knew Beomgyu, the two boys explored the whole marketplace as they entered various kinds of shops.

From vintage stores, flower shops, music shops and clothing stores, they roamed around as their eyes feasted from every item they saw. They also checked out some other opened food stalls that sell cheap food. It was obvious that Beomgyu knew the nook and creek of this place, he guided Taehyun really well and explained some things he didn't know about the upcoming festival.

For the whole journey, Beomgyu's hand never left Taehyun's. Sometimes, the younger clings on the older's arms but no one minds the gesture. It was one of Taehyun's cute habits– to cling on someone, and Beomgyu had always found the gesture adorable.

He loves the way the younger sticks with him unconsciously but denies it when you point it out, he loves it when the whiskers around his eyes appear when giggling and laughing. The lone dimple sitting on his cheek while his perfectly aligned teeth peaks out of his pink luscious lips when expressing his bliss. The small noises he makes when he's excited and just having fun in general. The way he zones out and wouldn't blink for 20 seconds straight while his mouth agape was funny and endearing for Beomgyu.

He basically found Taehyun's cute side more evident as they've gotten closer to each other. He wonders if there are still layers he hasn't seen yet. He is surely curious about it and would definitely want to see it as well.

And maybe he wanted a little too much as he subconsciously wished to see it all.

When they finally entered every store in the market that piqued their interest, they decided to take a rest as they sat on the nearby bench that has a good shading under the huge tree so they won't get directly hit by the sunlight and the slightly burning heat of summer.
