"UGLY OVERSIZED IDIOT?!"

Sohee yelled, her voice echoing through the hallway as she stood in the middle of the room, clutching a bright red lollipop like it was her weapon of choice.

Taehyung standing across from her raised an eyebrow, a lazy smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Do you really have to yell every time, Gutterbox? I'm right here."

Sohee snorted, waving the lollipop in front of his face. "Oh, shut up, you oversized tree branch. Go find your own candy!"

Taehyung placed a hand over his chest, feigning hurt. "Tree branch? That's all you've got? I was expecting something a little more creative today."

"That's the point! You're tall, thin, and entirely useless except for irritating me." She stuck out her tongue before hopping onto the couch, lifting the lollipop higher as if guarding it from his reach.

"Useless?" He scoffed, folding his arms as he leaned against the doorframe. "I'll have you know, I'm very useful. For example-"

"You mean you're good for stealing other people's candy?" she cut in, narrowing her eyes. "Nice try, but I'm not falling for it. This lollipop is mine, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Taehyung grinned, pushing off the doorframe and stepping closer. "Nothing, huh?" His tone dripped with mischief, and she instantly regretted challenging him.

"Stay back," she warned, clutching the lollipop tightly.

"Or what?" he taunted, taking another step forward.

"I'll... I'll eat it!" she threatened, raising it to her lips as if she'd destroy it just to spite him.

He froze, his eyes narrowing as if calling her bluff. "You wouldn't dare."

"Oh, I would."

Her defiance only fueled his determination. Before she could react, he lunged forward, his hands grabbing her wrist as he tried to wrestle the lollipop away.

"Let go!" she squealed, twisting away, but he was faster, his long arms giving him an unfair advantage.

"You're not even going to share, Princess?" he teased, yanking her arm just enough to make her lose her balance.

Sohee flailed for a moment before landing back on the couch with a huff, glaring up at him. "Who said you deserve any, Oversized Idiot?"

He grinned victoriously, holding the lollipop high above her reach. "Who said I need your permission?"

"You're the worst!" she fumed, jumping up and trying to snatch it back, but he was too quick, spinning away with a laugh.

"Admit it, Gutterbox, I'm smarter than you."

"Smarter? You're just taller! That's cheating!" she shouted, chasing after him as he danced around the room, holding the candy just out of reach.

Finally, she stopped, panting and glaring at him with a mix of frustration and resignation. "Fine, keep it. You're probably going to get cavities anyway."

Taehyung chuckled, tossing the lollipop lightly in the air before catching it again. "You're giving up that easily? How disappointing."

"I'm not giving up," she muttered, crossing her arms. "I'm just letting you think you won. Enjoy it while it lasts, Tree Branch."

"Aw, how generous of you, Princess," he replied with mock gratitude, unwrapping the lollipop and popping it into his mouth.

But before he could savor his victory, Sohee darted forward, grabbing it straight out of his mouth with lightning speed. She stuck her tongue out at him as she plopped it into her own mouth.
