"we're here!" soobin exclaims as he pulls into a parking spot. i didn't even realize i'd fallen asleep, so i was a little confused when i woke up. when i looked over at soobin, i felt my heart completely melt. he flashed a gummy smile at me, and i couldn't help but smile back. i don't think i'll ever be able to forget that smile.

"come on, im hungry," he urges me to get out the car, and i waste no time gathering my things and hopping out.

soobin grabs my free hand, and practically drags me into the egg drop cafe. once we're standing in line, i attempt to organize the handful of things i was holding: my purse, phone, lip gloss, wallet, and airpod case.

soobin takes notice of this and grabs my purse out of my hands, "do you want to put that stuff in here?" he asks.

"mhm," i murmur, feeling a slight blush crawl upon my face. it's just something about men holding purses.

"here, i got it," he insists, grabbing all my other items out of my hand, and putting them in my purse. he grabs my right hand with his left, still holding my purse in his right hand.

i feel my knees start to get weak as his warm hand wraps around mine. "do you have any idea on what you're going to order?" he asks, looking up at the menu.

"i was just gonna get what you were," i answer honestly, glancing over at him. i couldn't help but admire his side profile, which is quite literally the definition of perfection.

he turns his head to make eye contact with me, "but what if you don't like what i get?"

"uhm.." i didn't think about that hard enough. "i guess i'll just give you the rest of mine."

"you need to get something you want, y/n. you'll barely have anything to eat if you don't like it." soobin slightly scolds.

"okay, okay, okay," i look for something to read off the menu, "i'll get the.. uhm.. egg bacon.. cheese sandwich."

—

"did you like it?" soobin asks as i take my third bite. since we were seated outside, the wind is definitely blowing, but the sun is also shining a very beautiful golden color.

i shove the food to the sides of my mouth, "did? we just got our food. i've barely even eaten ha-" my eyes lock with soobin's empty sandwich holder. "there's no way."

"we've been eating for like 5 minutes, there's no way you're not done," soobin gouges at my barely nibbled sandwich.

i swallow my food, "how did you manage to eat all of that in five minutes?"

"you talked and didn't eat, i ate and didn't talk," he shrugs.

"i barely said anything," i scoff.

"you covered at least 29 topics in the time i started my sandwich to the time i finished it."

"you're over exaggerating, i di-"

"let's see, you talked about: charlotte the stingray, the decrease in bee population, how NASA doesn't explore the sea anymore, how lighthouses work, the purpose the quadratic formulas, how was pi crea-"

"okay- okay, i got the gist of it," i frown.

"it's okay, i like hearing you talk," he leans his face on his hand. i feel my face heat up and look down so that way he doesn't notice. i hear soobin laugh softly, which only makes me more red.

"hurry and finish your food, i want to take you somewhere else," he offers.

"im trying," i sputter, my mouth stuffed.

soobin smiles again, "you look like a cute chipmunk." i roll my eyes and continue chewing as fast as i can.
