Your heart was still beating fast as you walked yourself home.

"Ahhh, he's unbelievably handsome! I bet he's good at everything!!!", you squealed

You entered your apartment and your jaw dropped at the sight which greeted you.

Candy wrappers and opened bags of chips were everywhere. Emptied cans of Dr. Pepper was on your newly-cleaned couch , which was now far from clean, and the television was playing Sailor Moon.

You sighed heavily as Jimin's head poked from the kitched door.

"Ah kid, you're home? We have a lil problem", he said while munching what seems like the chocolate chips which you hid at the cupboard.

"Now what?", you roared, which startled him a bit but he didn't seem scared of you at all.

"The fridge's empty. Im hungry", he said and all the good memories that you made today disappeared.

"How could you empty that! That was a month's worth of grocery!!! How could you finish it all in half a day?", you screamed ay him and he just shrugged in return.

"Hey, I told you that I eat thrice as you humans do,okay? Just refill the fridge", he said as he walked towards you, closing the distance between your faces.

You just noticed how tall he was, compared to you. You felt a little bit intimidated but you just raised your head higher.

"You think I have enough money to sustain a lazy fat ass like you?", you snapped at him and he looked at you in disbelief.

"You rude kid!", he said and flicked your forehead.

"Ouch!", you complained as you jumped back, wincing in pain.

"Yah, stop calling me a kid!", you complained,still holding your aching forehead.

"Stop talking informal to me first. Use honorifics, I told you I'm a five hundred years older! Even in ny human form, I'm four years older than you", he said and you gritted your teeth in annoyance.

"Fine! Then, Jimin- OPPA, I'm  sorry but I don't have enough money to buy yo-",

You were cut off when a thick bundle of cash appeared in his hand.

"This enough?", he asked.

You gasped at the amount of money and he chuckled at your reaction, his eyes disappearing into thin slits.

"Grocery time then?", you said and he shrugged as he followed you to the grocery store three streets away from your apartment.

You got a large trolley and started putting in essentials like bathroom supplies, food and household stuff.

Jimin just kept putting snack after snack into the trolley and all you could do was roll your eyes because well girl,he's paying.

You ventured aisle per aisle, dropping something in the trolley ocassionally. When you got into the medical supplies and others part, you were carefully selecting medicines when Jimin suddenly raised his voice at you, asking a question,

" Hey, do we need this?", he said waving the item with his right hand and your face completely turned red. You looked around you and noticed a few embarassed couples and some high school students looking at you.

"Please swallow me whole. Please make me disappear",you mumbled to yourself as Jimin approached you.

"What's this anyway?",he whispered putting the item infront if your face.

You looked around and noticed that people were now averting their eyes from you, trying to give you privacy.

You immediately snatched the item from Jimin's hand and snapped at him, " It's a fucking condom. You use it when you frickle frackle with someone you love so NO, we don't need this".

You quickly put the XL box at its original place, face still red.

"Huh? What do you mean frickle- fra- ohhhh", Jimin mumbled and you noticed that his face is now as red as yours, he probably realized it already.

"We're done here. Let's go home", you snapped at Jimin, still annoyed at the incident and he just quietly followed you to the counter.

The cashier, who was a middle aged lady, was in the middle of packing your stuff when she asked, "You didn't get the condom? Aish, kids nowadays. You need to use protection you know!".

You stuttered in embarassment but this time Jimin answered, " We're not like that. We're not together", and you nodded in agreement.

The cashier looked at you oddly before giving you your grocery stuff.

The walk home was silent and awkward until Jimin broke the silence.

"Look, I'm sorry okay. There wasn't anything like that in the Joseon era".

You tried to stay mad but you couldn't help but chuckle at his ridiculous reason.

"Just... just next time, let me do the grocery shopping okay?", you said in between laughs and he smiled at you, also laughing.

"Yeah, I'd be too lazy to do it anyway".
