juyeon's p.o.v

(a/n this is just them going to buy food and mostly fluff maybe)

juyeon looked at her with a questioning look.
"you have money?" she asked, with the cutest look, her head tilted slightly to the side.
"um- yeah, my mother gave me her fortune before she passed. i have to do something with it."
"wow... i've never had money, i always stole, made my own things or got things from people."
haneul giggled. "this is gonna be an experience for you, then."
"should we go now?"

yeah, i guess, i can lead you there," haneul grabbed her broom, and juyeon did the same.
they left the house and flew in the air, juyeon following haneul. after a while, the got near the marketplace. they had to land pretty far from there so nobody would see them, and they walked the rest of the way there.
they hid their brooms as well as they could in the forest, and they arrived.

they walked to the area with lots of people, seeing people selling and buying food, talking loudly. it was a contrast to the small cabin with only the sound of wind blowing.
suddenly, a local ran right past juyeon with something in his hands. he had probably stolen it, haneul thought. juyeon jumped towards haneul at this, grabbing the shorter's hand for safety.
"i'm sorry," juyeon mumbled. haneul responded with a smile, not letting go of the other's hand.
they walked together towards a small woman selling bread, and haneul bought them a few loafs. she put them in her bag and paid the woman. they thanked her and moved towards a man selling fruit and berries. haneul was talking with the man as juyeon wondered off, towards a woman selling some gems. she examined the items, not really wanting to talk to the woman.
"those are pretty, huh?" the woman asked. "would you be interested in buying one?"
"oh, no, i don't have any money. i'm sorry." juyeon responded.
the woman looked back at juyeon. "if you aren't buying one, then don't come pretending that you will." she said, somewhat angrily. juyeon immediately retreated and went back to haneul.
"where did you go?" haneul asked, worry in her voice.
"i saw those pretty gems, i wanted to look at them," juyeon responded.
"i got worried, don't wonder off without me here, okay?"
juyeon felt her heart starting to beat a bit faster. haneul was close to juyeon, staring right into her eyes, haneul's gaze burning through her. juyeon apologized and turned away as quickly as possible, trying to avoid her eyes going to haneul's soft looking lips.

juyeon laughed nervously. "should we start going back?"
"i think so, i got everything else we needed." haneul responded, and left from the view of the people and flew back to their cabin.
"what did you buy?" juyeon asked.
"i bought bread, milk, eggs, flour, and some berries and fruit." haneul responded as she started putting the foods in their places. haneul reached to put the flour in the highest shelf. she couldn't quite reach it, so juyeon asked if she could help.
haneul didn't answer, so juyeon just put the flour on the shelf out of haneul's hand.
haneul scoffed. "me, allmighty miss witch over here can't reach a shelf." juyeon giggled. "it's alright, your height makes you cute, doesn't it?"
haneul's face got a little bit redder at the comment. cute, juyeon thought.
"i'm not giving you food if you keep up that attitude.." haneul said, almost whining.
