“Hmm, for me… there are different reasons as to why I chose this path. It brings me joy to help other people in difficult situations. I want to challenge myself with solving problems and help make the world a better place. It’s fun,” Jimin confesses cheerfully and recalls the cases he has been able to work on so far. He also wants to use the job to help other people heal and achieve the feeling of being helpful.
“I like your confidence and spirit when you said that. You seem very sure of what you want, with a clear goal in mind that many can't say. Take me as an example.” Jeongguk offers a compliment and smiles admirably. The unusual openness causes Jimin to cutely scrunch his nose, unable to get used to this side of him. “I study two majors because I’m interested in learning about both professions, but I don't know if it will stay that way or what I should focus on more.”
"But you still have time to decide, I think," Jimin comments enthusiastically, continuing, "You're in the first year of university and the second semester didn't start long ago."
Jeongguk returns the gentle smile Jimin throws at him, and a comfortable silence settles between them. They focus on their gingerbread and seem to sink into their own world. Jimin completely forgets why they’re at the market in the first place, prompting his body to be more relaxed and pride blossoming in him with every gingerbread cookie he manages to decorate well.
The time ticks away, and Jimin sweetly grins while they leave the stall with the baked goods, cheerfulness buzzing in him. Doing this with Jeongguk for a change was fun. Jeongguk seems to be opening up to him, and it wasn't as awkward as Jimin thought it would be. Both seem to have a penchant for decorating baked goods, and Jimin hums a tune when he realises they have something in common. Does Jeongguk bake too?
He is brought back to reality too quickly for his liking, causing the positive feeling to faint.
"Would you like some hot chocolate before we go to the garden? I bet there are no hot drinks and your fingers must have gotten cold from all the decorating."
"Ah, you're right.” Jimin nods, their eyes meeting. “They're always so delicious at the Christmas markets. Something warm would really be wonderful."
Jimin licks his lip in delight after taking the hot steaming drink in his hand, heat carrying over to his cold hands and helping the blood to circulate better. The sweet taste of hot chocolate and marshmallows melts in his mouth; he hums happily and closes his eyes. Christmas markets are definitely a big risk for him to buy a lot of sweets and get diabetes faster. Right now, though, he just wants to have something sweet and deserves to treat himself to something sweet.
“Don't you like hot chocolate or why did you take punch?” Jimin raises an eyebrow.
“It's not that I don't like it, but I can drink hot chocolate more often and punch only at Christmas markets. It's been a while since I drank it.”
