The Sex(y)ist KTH FF

Chapter 8: " I Would Wish Upon Them A 1000 Deaths!"

The café is really nice. It's cute and welcoming. The food is as amazing as the reviews I've seen claim it is.

Honestly eating in places like this reminds me why I love food so much. Why I love experiencing different food cultures. It's enlightening and enjoyable.

I'm quite certain the Eiffel Tower can't outdo the Croquembouche I'd seen in the bakery display... but time would tell.

"You have something here," Taehyung says, taking a napkin and wiping at my mouth.

How is he ever going to find me sexy if he keeps treating me like a child! I want to be a sexy temptress not a kindergarten toddler!

Not that I voice any of that because either he'd laugh at me or give me that incredulous "you're stupid" look.

Any way, I wasn't ready to be a temptress yet as he pointed out the previous night so it works out fine for the time being.

When I'm ready, I'll ask So Min what would make me more attractive to Taehyung.

"Thanks," I huff, feeling the speed of my heart pick up because the gesture is still sweet. I give him a soft smile but he returns it with that strange look he gives to only me and honestly it's not even a weird look anymore considering the number of times he's given it to me. I've grown accustomed to it. Now it's just that look. The one I have no inkling of an understanding of.

"The food was nice here. Better than the place we went to last night even," Taehyung muses.

"You're just still sour about the snails," I joke. "You're right. The food was better here. It's a shame we can't go to the same place twice though, there's just too much to try!"

"There's nothing stopping you from going somewhere twice. You just want to try more things. "

"Be that as it may, the fun is in the exploration. Don't be a bore, Ajhussi."

He just rolls his eyes at me.

After finishing, we get up to leave the café and go to the rented car but an idea occurs to me when I look around, so instead I grab Taehyung's hand a pull him along with me.

Taehyung makes an annoyed sound. "What are you doing?" He asks as I march along the street.

"We should go for a walk before we leave. There's tons of stores here to look at there's a cute park there with a water fountain. Honestly, if he hadn't made the detour to the other place we would've arrived here quickly...it's actually walking distance from the hotel."

I stop at the first store I come across, next to the café. It's an antique store.

"And you couldn't tell me that normally?"

"It was more fun dragging you along. "

Taehyung just sighs in acceptance. "I'm sure it was. " he adjusts our hands so our fingers interlock. It makes our grip on each other a bit more sturdy...especially considering my hands were getting a little clammy...which isn't something that happens often but has been occurring more frequently with Taehyung holding my hand.

Another thing I would not be thinking about.

Along with the fact that he's held my hand so many times now it almost feels natural to have my smaller hand enveloped by his larger one.

Okay so more things to add to the list of stuff I didn't want to acknowledge for the time being.
Fun.

"Aren't you going inside?" He asks. "You're looking through the window with awe."

To be fair part of my expression is owing to my thoughts but I am amazed by some of the antiques I see.

"No. That's alright. I'd be the Ferdinand to their antique store...you know like a bull in a china store? I don't trust myself to not break something. I'm not generally clumsy but knowing me, all of my clumsiness will come out in there. "
