It was Jeongguk and Chiyo's second and last day in Kyoto, so the couple decided to stroll the streets of Kyoto and visit one of the famous temples.

"Today's weather is perfect." Chiyo stated as she walk hand in hand with Jeongguk, their fingers intertwined with each other.

Jeongguk smirked.

"That's because I'm here."

Chiyo scoffed.

"In your dreams, Jeon Jeongguk." she said and giggled when Jeongguk tickled her.

"Stop!" she shouted as she tried to protect herself from his tickles.

Jeongguk stopped tickling her and gently pinched her cheeks.

"Is my Chiyo mad already?" he teased.

Chiyo let go of his hand and crossed her arms. She pouted and faced the other side, pretending to be mad.

Jeongguk stood behind her and hugged her, placing his head on hers as his height towered hers.

"Don't be mad."

Chiyo's pout instantly carved into a smile and she turned around, hugging him back.

"I'm not mad. How can I be mad at you when-"

She proceeded to tip toe and pinched his cheeks.

"-you're this cute."

"Yah!" he shouted as Chiyo let go of his cheeks and ran ahead of him, her giggles filled the summer air.

At last, Jeongguk caught up with her and grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers together.

They continued to walk along the busy streets and every time they see a tall building, they stared in awe like two kids in the city, as if they have never seen it before.

The two occasionally stopped at small stalls to eat at least something from the menu because as what Jeongguk stated "their stomach can't resist it."

"Jeongguk, let's try that!" Chiyo pointed at a stall with an eye catching banner which wrote 'tasty chicken kebabs that you will regret not trying.'

Chiyo dragged the boy to the stall and they stood behind the long line of customers, waiting for chicken kebabs.

Jeongguk rummaged through his pocket and took out his phone and started to record.

He focused on Chiyo, who was eagerly waiting for the chicken kebabs.

Chiyo noticed and covered her face with both hands.

"What are you doing?" she whined and tried to shift the phone away but Jeongguk moved a few steps from her.

Jeongguk flashed his bunny smile.
