His Last Mission

008

"Are we near yet?" Jimin asked with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"No. Two more rides," Dahyun replied, as she went down the train.

"Where are we going now?" Jimin asked, but then, Dahyun brushed her tummy.

"We'll go eating!" she smiled.

When they walked around, they spotted a barbeque restaurant.

"How about there?" Jimin asked, but Dahyun just pouted.

"Have you tried eating?" she asked back but Jimin shook his head,

"In my past life, yes but now no. I don't need to eat since I don't need to gather energy."

Dahyun beamed, "Sometimes, we eat just to indulge. To taste. To savor."

She then walked around again, ignoring the restaurant.

"Where are you going?" Jimin complained.

"To the market. You should change form. We'll having our food trip."

Jimin just smiled, a genuine smile that he managed to elicit since they went to the orphanage. As soon as he changed form, Dahyun dragged his hand. Jimin hated to admit that he enjoyed how he felt her warm hands again, intertwined with his.

Soon, they passed by a stall selling fried cakes.

"What's this?" Jimin asked flipping the food in the stick.

Dahyun chuckled, "You were a rich kid back then, aren't you? Try it. It's delicious."

She then got a stick of fried cakes and fed Jimin. The latter slowly chewed it as he thought,

How long have I tasted food? I guess Dahyun is making me experience things again.

He slowly nodded, "Yummy."

Dahyun smiled again and they started eating as much as they want. Satisfied, Dahyun payed the vendor and jumped to another stall.

"Ojingeo, gimmari, gyeran, gochu, yachae, mandu and gojuma."

Dahyun said as she introduced everything to Jimin. Jimin nodded again and started tasting everything. Dahyun just smiled as she saw how clearly Jimin is enjoying. She then, ate with him. However, on another stall, they saw something unexpected.

"What's this?" Jimin asked as he eyed the food.

Dahyun squinted and twitched her face at the sight, "I don't know."

"It's bundaeggi," the vendor said and smiled to them, "It's boiled silk worm larva."

Dahyun's face paled upon hearing the word 'worm'. Jimin smiled at her reaction, then ordered a cup. He ate it in front of her with a mischievous smile.

"Try it!" Jimin said as he gestured to feed Dahyun.

Dahyun shook her head hardly, "I don't want to."

Jimin chuckled. "Why? You told me to try food! You should try it too! Be fair!"

Dahyun's face was begging, but then, she closed her eyes before taking what Jimin offered.

"Delicious, right?" Jimin said as he ate again.

Dahyun forcefully swallowed what Jimin gave and smiled at the vendor. Jimin could only laugh at her forced reactions.

They tried spicy rice cakes, tokkebi hotdogs, and hotteok. Dahyun had been burping because she was already full but Jimin started dragging her to a stall which sells cup chicken.
