As Tae stepped out of the exam center, her face lit up with pure joy. It was the last of her exams, and everything had gone exceptionally well. She spotted Jungkook waiting by the gate, leaning against their car with a relaxed smile as he watched her approach. His gaze softened as she came closer, and he opened the door for her, allowing her to settle inside.

She sat on the passenger seat, and as they pulled away, Jungkook looked over at her with a hint of excitement.

Jk- So, finally done with all those books and papers, hmm? (he teased)

Tae nodded enthusiastically.

Tae- Yes! It went well, too. (she added with a satisfied grin)

Jungkook chuckled.

Jk- Good. Now, we have two days left before we return home. How about we explore the city a bit?

Tae's eyes sparkled with excitement. She nodded, soaking in the sights around her. That's when a chaat stall caught her eye, a simple setup under a shaded tree, with large steel pots and plates filled with colorful snacks displayed on a wooden cart. Her eyes widened in excitement.

Tae- Sa.. (she said, tugging on his sleeve) Please stop the car! I want to eat chaat.

Jungkook glanced at her, amused, but pulled over. They stepped out and made their way toward the cart, where a variety of options were arranged: papdi chaat, dahi puri, ragda puri, sookhi bhel, geeli bhel, samosa chaat... Her mouth watered just looking at the spread.

At the haveli back home, the chaat options were simpler, never with so many choices. Jungkook watched her, his arms crossed, as she tried to decide, her brows knitted in concentration. After a long pause, she finally pointed to a plate of ragda puri.

Tae- Let's try this! I've never had it before. (she decided, turning to the vendor) Bhai-sa please make it less spicy. (she requested politely)

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, smirking.

Jk- Less spicy? I thought you liked everything spicy.

Tae looked away, a small blush creeping over her cheeks.

Tae- Well, you can't handle it, so...

He smiled, clearly pleased by her thoughtfulness. Gently, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer.

Jk- And here I thought you just wanted to torture me with spice. (he teased, chuckling)

Tae's eyes widened, and she glanced at the vendor with a flustered expression, whispering,

Tae- Sa, people are watching!

Jungkook only tightened his grip.

Jk- What? You're my wife, not someone else's.

She gave him a look, whispering a soft complaint, but he only smirked, holding her close until the vendor handed over the steaming plate of ragda puri.

Jungkook held it carefully, and they found a spot nearby where they could enjoy the treat. As they tasted the warm, tangy flavors, they exchanged hums of delight, enjoying the simple yet delicious dish.

After finishing their snack, they wandered through the city streets, admiring the small shops with vibrant textiles hanging in doorways, the pottery stalls with intricate designs, and the smell of fresh flowers from a nearby flower seller's cart.

As they passed a small photography stand, Jungkook suddenly pulled her toward it.

Jk- Let's get a picture taken. (he said with a grin, his eyes lighting up at the idea)
