"Everything's better with more gochu," Jungkook confirms, laughing as Yoongi bites through the air and easily relinquishing the stick. With his attention momentarily freed, he leans back slightly to get a look down the alley again, watching the aunties and grandmothers seated at tables, waiting to flag any passersby down for a bowl of noodles. Jungkook finds that markets are always comforting in a way — far from the pressures of school and work, where the most concerning matter is what food one wants to stuff their stomach with.

He could lose himself forever in a place like this, he thinks. Not that he minds Seoul necessarily, but there's something romantic about being a little further away from the city, too. Maybe next time, they should head out to the countryside, Jungkook thinks — where there isn't a single high-rise in sight.

"You gonna save any for me?" he teases, leaning back in and echoing Yoongi's earlier biting motion, just barely scraping against the curve of his cheek.
