"Oh look! That looks fun, come on let"s check it out.", Becca dragged Seo Joon towards the crowd and watch the locals dance to folk music.It"s their second day at a rural area and they"ve mostly stayed in the resort yesterday so Becca decided to bring him to experience the culture.
Seo Joon also found the folk dancing entertaining and so he clapped and swayed together with Becca. One of the old dancers came to them and pulled Becca"s hand, inviting her to dance with them. She declined at first but the old man was very insistent so she just let him drag her to the center. The dancer taught her how to move and Becca followed his movement, though she isn"t an excellent dancer, her movements still looked okay.
She was smiling and laughing as she learned the steps, when she got the hang of it, she danced with them and the crowd cheered. Not wanting to be the only one in the center of attraction, Becca pulled Seo Joon to join in the dancing with her. It was the first time that he had experienced this kind of activity but he found it quite enjoyable.
After their little entertainment, they walked hand in hand towards the street food stalls. So many exotic and delicious foods on their left and right. When they"ve decided where to eat, they just stood in front of the stall and ate.
"I thought you said this place was quiet?", Seo Joon remarked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, I didn"t think it would be this lively. I came here on a different month, I heard that it"s their peak season this month. maybe that"s why.", she replied. "Are you having fun though?"
"Yeah, glad I took the trip with you."
Becca continued to pick on the food from their small plate, there were other tourists who also ate in the stall. As she was busy eating, Seo Joon noticed that something wasn"t right. The man next to Becca was glaring at her, his eyes looked angry.
Seo Joon looked down on their plate that was still more than half full but the one Becca was eating from was almost empty. The bad thing wasn"t how full or how empty it was, it"s actually because… they only ordered one set! They only have one plate because they shared! So that meant, Becca was actually eating from the wrong one and judging by the glaring man beside her, Seo Joon already knew it was that man"s plate.
"Um, Becks.", Seo Joon tried to call her name.
But Becca was too engrossed in her feast, "This is really tasty, I wish I had tasted this one the first time I came here."
"Becks.", he called again.
"Do you like it too? Do you think that we could bring some back home?", she lifted her head to look at him but when she did, she saw Seo Joon"s face paled.
The man beside Becca was burly, obviously someone who looked like he"s living in a gym to work out all day long, 24/7.
"Becca, we need to go.", Seo Joon told her in a low voice while he signaled her with his eyes that were glancing at their plates.
She caught on what he meant right away as when she saw their plate and the plate she was eating from, she herself also paled. Without her trying, her head subconsciously turned to the man beside her and saw that his eyes were shooting daggers, his chest heaved up and down. "This tiny woman dared to eat my food?", he thought.
Becca"s eyes widened and she froze on the spot, good thing Seo Joon was quick to react.
"RUN!", he yelled while grabbing Becca"s hand and dragging her away from that giant.
They ran as fast as they could, maneuvering their path among the crowd. The burly man who, at first, didn"t have plans on catching them, had started running after the couple just because they also ran; his body reacted to instinct. Thus, in the very crowded city center, where two people being chased by a giant caught everyone"s attention.
Running for a few minutes lasted like they were running forever, they only stopped until they were able to lose the guy.
They were both panting at the corner alley, Seo Joon leaned on the dusty wall and Becca bent over trying to catch her breath.
She was taken aback when she suddenly heard Seo Joon laughing hysterically. Her brows raised at the sight of Seo Joon bending backward and guffawed at the same time.
"What"s so funny?", she asked, amused by his reaction.
"You... you... hahaha... your face.", he spoke as he laughed, "The look on your face earlier was priceless."
Becca at this point also started to laugh, "Why didn"t you tell me!! That was so embarra.s.sing! He must have thought that I was... Oh my gosh. I can"t even think about it!"
"I did! I called you a few times but you were too busy eating his food!", he laughed some more.
"Oh G.o.d! I must"ve looked like a homeless person who hasn"t eaten for a long time!", she covered her face with her hands.
Seo Joon held her wrists and pulled her towards him, "How can a homeless person be this pretty?", he said with a smirk.
Becca rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Well, that"s one eventful afternoon!", she pouted looking very cute.
Without second thoughts, he kissed her slowly and gently. "And it"s a memorable one.", he said after breaking their kiss.
Holding her hand, he led her out of the alley, "Come on, we need to get back to the city."
