Love you to the Stars and Back

Author's POV
Not long after Tiffany and Taeyeon started to cross the road, they saw the ahjussi earlier struggling in carrying the baskets.

Taeyeon opened the window and they called out the ahjussi, "Ahjussi? Get in. We'll give you a ride. Ahjussi!" Tiffany persuade. But the ahjussi ignored them and carried the baskets with all his might and walks faster which was followed immediately by Tiffany.

"Let me talk to him." Taeyeon who is afraid that Tiffany may screw up again decided to talk to the ahjussi to offer help, " Ahjussi, we're sorry about what happened. We didn't mean to bother you. Don't worry we'll bring you to your destination. Jinbuk-dong is still a long way from here. When you get there, your chickens might turn in to fried chicken" and Taeyeon laughed at her own lame joke. "Fried chicken" and she was still laughing her ass off at her joke, as she looked at Tiffany she realized that she pushed the wrong button again and immediately shut up.

"What about my chickens?" The ahjussi looked at them while sending them daggers.

"Taeyeon will take care of your chickens" Tiffany told the ahjussi while Taeyeon can just smile.

------------------

Taeyeon was stucked into the backseat carrying some basket of chickens and holding the string of some of the basket that it is outside. They put his bike on the roof of the car to be spacious.

The ahjussi who is has a basket of chicken in his lap was looking and inspecting the interior of the car which is already a late model.

Tiffany initiated a topic hoping to ease off the tension inside the car, "Ahjussi, what are those chickens for? A birthday party?"

No response.

"Or a restaurant? Do you own one?" They entered a village that made the road a little narrow than the area earlier which had only trees and plants making it a alternate route to avoid traffic jam in the national highway.

"Or maybe you have-------"

"Left! Turn left!" The ahjussi said abruptly leading Tiffany to carelessly steer the steering wheel left. Unfortunately, the baskets of chickens flew off the car and many bystanders runs after it.

The trio immediately open the door and chase the chickens. Taeyeon who forgot that she was injured tried to carry the ahjussi to make him faster groans in pain when her bruise aches.

"My feet! Uggh!" She still shrugged it off and chased the chickens.

-----------

The trio are riding again inside the car but with Taeyeon on the passenger side carrying the chicken since the baskets are already broken and the ahjussi carrying the remaining chickens at the back.

They catch their breath as they are still recovering from the crazy happenings earlier.

"My son will marry the former head of the village's granddaughter. We will give these chickens to them, so they won't speak bad about us. I promised ten chickens, there are only six now." The ahjussi explained.

"Ahjussi, we're sorry" Tiffany apologizes while looking at the rear mirror. "I will explain to them."

"I'll do it. You'll just yell at them" Taeyeon said as a matter of factly.

"I can do it!"

"I'll talk to them!"

"I'll do it! Go straight!" The ahjussi shouted to stop the two from fighting again.

"Okay, ahjussi"

"That's better"

They arrived at 11:35 a.m into the ahjussi's destination. Indeed, it was a big mansion but the ahjussi slouche on the backseat when he saw his future dear-in-law climbing down the stairs and comming closer to him.
