the daegu fair

jeongguk feels the hand on his
arm slide further down
until it touches his hands
he feels her fingers slowly
intertwining with his
and when she looks down and
realises what she were doing
she blushes furiously
and attempts to pull away
but he tightens his grip around her fingers
not willing them to leave the
warmth of his palms

"a-are we erm" she starts awkwardly
clearing her throat as she
averts her eyes to the ground
she's clearly trying to hide her blush
and jeongguk smiles when he sees it

she's so cute when she's shy
as if reading her thoughts
he replies
"we're almost there, i think"

a snowflake falls from the sky
and lands on her nose
she flinches
and he laughs in amusement
as he dusts it off

"are you cold?"
she nods
he pulls her closer
she relaxes

the boys in front finally come to a stop
and turn back to cast the pair happy smiles
"welcome to daegu town's annual funfair"

jeongguk can't hold back his smile as he sees her
turn into an elephant eating it's first meal in a week

spicy rice cakes
samgyeopsal (pork belly)
bibimbap
steamed mandu dumplings
gimbap (sushi)

there goes his 30 thousand won
jeongguk thinks he can wave goodbye to them
through the food he lets haru feed him

surprisingly, nobody recognises them
even when they have their masks
pulled under their chins
jeongguk guesses that they're lucky

it's dark
and it's snowing less here than in the
folk village where they first
watched the snow fall
it isn't very crowded too
since most people wouldn't want to
come out of their homes in such a cold weather

but the snow begins to fall more and more
as the time passes
and the food stalls begin to
close for the day

they are just about to leave the fair
when jeongguk feels a tug on his shirt sleeve
it's haru pointing at a merry go round
and jeongguk's eyes widen

yes, you guessed it
they play on it for 15 minutes before security
tells them it's time to close

"three things left" haru says
as they walk out hand in hand

the three boys are in front of them
leading the way
with cotton candies in their hands
something that jeongguk had
offered to buy them in return for the little tour

(and also for letting them go after kidnapping them)

"how on earth are we supposed
to get into a live concert?
we don't even know
if there is one in daegu at the moment"
haru sighs in obvious disappointment
"we can skip it, we don't have to complete every--"

"we got the live concert covered"
jeongguk answers with a smile

"how?"

"these boys may be homeless
but they sure are updated on latest news"

when she still hasn't gotten his message
jeongguk purses his lips and looks at her through
half lidded eyes
"are you a fan of red velvet?"

a loud gasp from haru is all it takes
for him to pull out two tickets from inside his coat
and wave them in her face like a child

she has the happiest smile on her face
it melts his heart

"i love you
oh my god
how did you get them?
this is impossible"

he tries to ignore the first three words
she's probably just exaggerating, right?
and glances at the three boys
who are now staring at them with
amused looks on their faces

jeongguk smiles
"let's just say
i got a little help"
