#:nugget

( But as soon as it’s late enough for her to call Taehwa, she does and asks him if he hates her - she just needs to be reassured and she is, eventually. But her body still shakes and she only finds comfort in a book, far away from her nightmares.)

Three rings into the call and Taehwa had barely the time to say hello that Gaeul was already rambling. “Okay, so, there’s this amazing chocolate exposition taking place tomorrow. And guess what? It’s not in a museum. It’s in a bookshop! Does life can get better? I don’t think so. So you and me, tomorrow, are going to this exposition and eat a lot of chocolate while wandering and looking at books and you can’t tell me that this is wrong to do because then what would be the purpose of this kind of exposition? Alright? Alright! See you tomorrow!” And with that, she hung up. 

“I do, white chocolate is unfortunately very delicious and I can’t resist it. Taehwa is my precious nugget so yes I like him a lot. And… Maybe? Just kidding! I like Taehwa more than white chocolate!”

“Guess what? Today is International Kissing Day.” Gaeul tells Taehwa with a smile and before the younger boy can say a word or even run away, she stands on the tip of her toes and cups his cheek, leaning forward to give his forehead a loud smooch. “Here. Now you can’t complain that you didn’t get a kiss!”

“And you’re cu– precious, no matter what you think.”

“Ah, well, I don’t want to hurt your heart then.” She chuckles. “My day was rather uneventful. I just stayed at home and read books. What about yours?”

“Oh– I’m sorry. I love you too.”
