Chapter 3.3 | Loving you

"Budae Jjigae without mushrooms?"

Finally! Food!

Aside from your fascination for books and taking strolls, you had a great interest in food as well. You were already drooling just by the thought of the delicious meal in front of you.

"That's for my girlfriend."

Your cheeks went instantly red. Your palms filled themselves with sweat. Your heart started to beat swiftly and your head shot up looking at him.

Girlfriend?!

Taehyung just casually smiled at the woman in front of our table. The waitress's expression was worth gold. Her face scrunched together and she was obviously jealous, but still tried to plaster a smile on her lips. She puts down Taehyung's plate and quickly turned around speed walking towards another table. And gone were those hips.

You, on the other hand, were paralyzed. Why did he say that?

"Enjoy your meal"

Taehyung smiled sweetly at you and then focussed on his food. You tried to eat but kept recalling Taehyung's sentence over and over again.

As hunger got the best of you, you started to eat. It was a little uncomfortable at first because of the whole girlfriend thing, but everything went soon back to normal. You guys talked about a lot of things and had the most amazing time.

You got to know Taehyung better and he got to know you better. Laughter was shared and you didn't want this moment to end.

"Y/N?"

Taehyung had finished his food and had laid his utensils away. He stared up at you, waiting for your reaction.

"Yeah?"

You answered him after swallowing your last bite.

"Since it's New Year's Eve, there will be fireworks shown at the square. So I thought that maybe we could go together?"

A little blush was visible on Taehyung's cheeks. And as the question was asked, tinted your cheeks also a little red.

"Euhm, yeah, of course, I would love to."

You smiled and so did Taehyung. He was so happy you said yes.

After you were done eating, Taehyung and you went to the nearest park. It was fun. Goofing around a little and eating some snacks. Enjoying each others company. Li played along and was never this enthusiastic, despite her age.

You watched with great interest how Taehyung played with her. She looked like she was 3 years old again. Taehyung didn't only have a grand impact on you but also on Li.

After playing with Li, you both walked towards a small stall to have an afternoon snack.

"What do you want to eat?"

You stared at the menu which was displayed on a big chalkboard in front of the stall. Taehyung had put a finger on his chin. He was thinking deeply about what he would choose.

"I think I'm going for Kimchi Fried Rice."

You nodded shortly and continued to stare at the board to see what more to eat.

Kimchi Fried Rice? Doesn't that have mushrooms in it?

Taehyung raised an eyebrow by the thought but made sure it was unnoticed for you. Laughing on the inside he regained himself and told his choice.

"And I'll go with Veg Fried Rice. Y/N, I'll go order, you go sit down already."

You nodded and took Li with you to an empty table. Li settled herself beside you. Her head on her paws, because she was tired from all the running and playing.

Soon Taehyung joined you and placed the delicious food in front of you. You were mouth-watering. Taehyung saw the sight and chuckled.

"I guess you're hungry."

He looked at you in a very amusing way. You quickly began to eat. Not really caring for your surroundings.

"Is it good?"

Taehyung saw you gulping down your food. Others would've found it weird how a girl could be so disrespectful, but he didn't care. He loved to see your true self. And to be honest he would do the same thing if he was that hungry.

"Yes, and yours?"

You laughed a bit sheepishly, realizing that you were practically eating like a pig.

"It's very good, I especially like the mushrooms."
