Chapter 3

When Hyerin arrived at the convenience store, he dragged Taehyung through the various aisles by his hoodie.
"Here you go you can have anything I have some things to purchase too, and meet me at the counter here itself." Taehyung laughed at her teaching style.

"Okay Ma'am." Hyerin is aware that he has just made an unexpected mockery of her. Her gaze did not leave him; instead, she strolled away from him to other places. Taehyung took a red basket, placed all of his items on his list inside, and stood in line at the cashier. Taehyung noticed her rushing with a basket filled with groceries and personal items.
To save time, Taehyung went slightly backward and submerged himself in the gap created by the next person in front. "Thanks."Said the counter guy.
"Always." Hyerin grinned as she paid everything, accepted the bill, and waited for Taehyung.
Taehyung was still in the process after his payment, and he emerged clutching the brown bags.

"How about some ice cream?" "Ice cream is really cheap here." Taehyung  smiled at her innocence. She has no idea he is wealthy, and he has come to learn how different people live.
"Yes I will try it." Taehyung responded without excitement.

Hyering took it suspiciously because he showed little emotion or excitement after this exhausting shopping trip. They went to an ice cream wagon beside the store.
"One vanilla and you?" Hyerin responded to Taehyung, who was looking over the menu.
"Butterscotch please."

"Yes butterscotch." Hyerin addressed the ice cream shop proprietor. She waited patiently for her ice cream. Taehyung, on the other hand, took out his phone to pay; he was about to scan the code when she stopped him. Hyerin displayed a gloomy expression.
"Yahh. Don't do that; I'll pay."

Hyerin quickly took out her phone to scan, but Taehyung smirked and scanned for payment, and the money was debited. Hyerin's smile faded abruptly. Taehyung responded.
"It's just ice cream, Miss. Hyerin.
"I owe you a lot."

Hyerin remembered how much they had assisted him since morning. It's just ice cream, and he's wealthy, but she can't take advantage from now on. Hyerin answered.
"Okay but don't do that again it's awkward for me."

"We just met only we are not even close to get free service." Taehyung responded a little coldly. Hyerin's eyes were startled by his response, but she changed her face without letting him see, accepted her ice cream from the man, and went away without waiting for him.
Taehyung sighed with his tongue. He smacked himself for hurting others with his remarks.

"It's really rude young man apologize to her, you look good together by the way." The ice cream old man encouraged him slightly, leading him to rethink his comments, and he ran, thanking the elderly man behind her who was holding his cream.
"Wait, take these, they're free.Make it up; she is a regular customer here." The old man gave him two more varieties of ice cream for her.

Taehyung bowed to him and ran away with the ice creams. "Hyerin."
Hyerin, on the other hand, ignored her yelling and continued walking to her home. She approached her gate but crouched down after tripping on a cat sleeping in front of it.

"Ughh."

"Hyerin." Taehyung screamed, reached near her, and helped her get up from the ground, dusting her pants and sweatshirt.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung requested assistance in standing up. She gasped when something began itching in anguish at her foot.
"I think your knees have injured a little by the force of falling, your hoodie is also middy, let me help you, come to home with me." Taehyung sighed and softly touched her hand.

Hyerin jerked his hand back and responded. "No, you answered coldly previously, and why should I seek your assistance. What if you respond, 'We just met, and we're not even close to getting free service.'"

Taehyung exhaled.
"I'm sorry, Hyerin; you're always like this. I will say that, and I regret it now; please allow me to make amends with you by assisting you. Hyerin grinned, his puppy eyes pleading for her.

"Are you sure you don't regret making friends with me again? You cannot take a step back. Hyerin smirked again, causing him to laugh. Of course I won't. I promise always be a good friend to you starting now. Come on, don't stand any longer." Taehyung moaned, grabbing her hand.

"Wait pinky promise?" Hyerin extended her pinky finger to match his finger.

"Too childish for that."
Taehyung shook it off, ready to walk home.

"Adults do that too." Hyerin pulled him back with his sweater.

"Okay pinky promise." Taehyung interlaced his pink finger with her pinky finger, keeping their smiles locked together.

"Now let's go for your free service." Taehyung laughed as he heard her mocking manner to annoy him.

"Yahh don't do that."
Taehyung abruptly embraced her in his arms, causing her to spring out of nowhere and grab his neck with her hand.

"I can't make you stumble on anything again, Hyerin." Taehyung carried her home, and she watched him all the way.
