Pretend | Taegyu

●Corn Hotdogs●

"Speaking of foods, I'm hungry, as well." Beomgyu said, scrolling through his phone as they walked towards his parked car. 

"I'm craving some street food." Taehyun said, mouth already watering due to the images of the delicious food that popped up in his head. 

"What do you wanna eat?" Beomgyu asked, sitting down in the car before strapping the seat-belt onto him, Taehyun repeating the action. 

"I don't know. What about you? I'll eat the same thing as you." Taehyun shrugged, looking outside the window. 

"What do you think about tteokbeokki?" Beomgyu suggested, watching as Taehyun shook his head. 

"No, thanks. I'm not craving for something spicy." 

"Bindaetteok?" 

"Nah," 

"Eomuk-" Beomgyu was cut off when Taehyun suddenly spoke up with lightened eyes. 

"I was thinking for some corn hotdogs!" Taehyun suggested, not leaving any opinion for Beomgyu to speak. "Let's get that!" 

"Why did you even ask me, then?!"

"Fuck," Beomgyu sighed when he saw the crowded market from the gate. "Where am I going to park this car?" He said as he scanned his surroundings. 

"Hey," He nudged Taehyun, who fell asleep due to the soft melodies that played in the car's Bluetooth and the cold air of the AC. "Get up, idiot. Get out so I can find a spot for parking." 

Taehyun woke up, seeming disconnected from the reality as he did so. "Huh?" He slurred his words like a sleepy child. 

"I need to park the car so get out and wait for me at the gate." Beomgyu repeated, staring at Taehyun's messy black locks, hands itching to smooth it out but not to do so at the same time because the younger did look adorable like that. 

Taehyun rubbed his eyes before opening the door of the car. "Okay, come back quickly." 

Beomgyu hummed before driving away to find a parking spot amidst the crowded market. 

Taehyun now waited at the entrance of the market for a few minutes, scrolling through his social media on his phone for a few minutes until Beomgyu came back. 

"God, that was a hard one to find." Beomgyu huffed, brushing his bangs from his eyes. 

Taehyun giggled, which was a pleasing sound to Beomgyu's ears, but he wouldn't admit it. "Did you forget how markets work, hyung? Of course, parking vehicles is going to be a tough job to do at a literal crowded market." 

Beomgyu rolled his eyes, already starting to walk inside the market, a trailing Taehyun behind him. "Leave me alone. It's been years since I went to one." 

Taehyun made an 'ah' sound. "I forgot that you're rich. The maids probably do that for you, right?"

Beomgyu nodded as he placed his hands in his pocket, eyes scanning around to find a perfect food stall to eat corndogs. His eyes lightened when he found one, as he pointed towards it. "Let's go there!" He didn't even wait for Taehyun, already speed-walking towards the less-crowded stall.

"This dude doesn't know how wait. What a gentleman." Taehyun huffed under his breath, trying his best to not lose Beomgyu in the midst of the increasing crowd as they walked further. 

"Ajhumma!" Beomgyu's eyes lightened. "Can we have two plates of corn hotdog?" 

The old lady, nodded with a smile, immediately getting to work, frying the corn-potato sticks in the splattering oil. She then quickly took out two paper plates before placing the fried potato sticks on them, serving the extremely hungry couple. 

"Do you want some ketchup?" She asked, and received a nod from both as she left to fetch a bottle of ketchup. 

Taehyun was delighted from the moment he took a bite from his corndog. He could already feel his day being tad better from the fried treat. And just in a few moments, his corndog was already finished. 

Taehyun frowned, pouting at his empty plate. He then took a look at Beomgyu, who still had a half of his corndog, but the older seemed to be distracted by his phone. 

And according to Taehyun, what he was about to do, was definitely going to get him killed. But, he decided to do it anyways because he enjoyed getting on people's nerves. He tapped on Beomgyu's shoulders, gaining the older's attention. 

"Hyung, look!" Taehyun pointed, randomly at the crowd, seeing how Beomgyu's vision lined towards the point. "A flying penguin!" 

And the moment, Beomgyu's back was facing him, he quickly took the hotdog with clammy hands, before stuffing it into his mouth, placing the now empty stick, back on the plate. 

Beomgyu, who was unaware, squinted his eyes in the crowd but found no flying penguin. "Hey, there's no-" He gasped when he saw his empty plate and Taehyun chewing onto his something. 

He connected the dots. Taehyun fucking stole his hotdog! 

Beomgyu threw the empty plate in the trash can before grabbing Taehyun's jaw, trying to open it. "Fucking hell-" 

Taehyun choked due to the sudden pressure on his jaw. "It's already in my mouth. You can't have i-it, anyways." 

"Spit it out, Kang Taehyun." Beomgyu replied in a firm tone. 

"Why?" Taehyun smugly smiled. "Gonna eat it from my mouth?" 

Beomgyu challenged him with his eyes, hands in his pocket. "And what if I do so?" 

Immediately, Taehyun's face morphed into disgust. "Ew, what the fuck, hyung?" 

The seller was watching the tension between two, who were glaring at each other. "Uh, sorry to interrupt, but, when are you going to pay? There are other customers too and you're blocking the way." 

The two, immediately snapped out of their little staring competition before giving the old lady a small, awkward smile. "Sorry for him, I'll pay." Beomgyu replied, grabbing his wallet. 

"Sorry for me? Bitch-" Taehyun got interrupted by the old lady. 

"You both are a very cute couple." She chuckled before sighing. "Young love." 

Taehyun froze for a moment, remembering that they had to be a (fake) couple. He then wrapped his arms around Beomgyu's shoulders, pulling him close towards him, ruffling his hair. "Thank You, miss. He's a pain in the ass, but I love him." 

Oh, so he was playing that game. 

Beomgyu's eyes widened, not expecting Taehyun to tease him, out of all people. He awkwardly laughed before bidding the lady a goodbye. 

"What the fuck?" Beomgyu frowned when they walked out of the entrance of the market. 

"Taste of your own medicine, Choi." Taehyun smiled, stretching his arms.
