"You get to decide," he declared, holding the door open for her. "We can just walk along and find any place that looks interesting. They have a huge range of foods here."

"True"
She says biting the side of her bottom lip slightly as she thought about it. She did like the sound of simply wandering the island with Maverick by her side as they talked about all sorts of things. The thought floated around in her mind as is made her heart flutter in her chest.
"Well let's go then! Left or right!"
She says turning to him with a smile and a little bounce.

He flailed awkwardly for a bit, momentarily forgetting left, right, north, and down. Shaking his head he gave a lopsided, bashful smiled. "Left it is."

"얼마나 귀여워"
She muttered to herself with a little giggle as she squeezes his hand, leading him down the left path.

“What was that?” He tilts his head to the side, clutching the palm of her hand.

"Hm? Ah, sorry did I not say it in English?" She says turning to him, fully knowing that she didn't say it in English. And it was pretty obvious with a mischevious smile plastered on her face as she looked up to him.

He rolls his eyes melodramatically, though a corner of his mouth tugs upward. His green eyes send her a knowing look as his arms cross, waiting.

"Fine, I called you cute. Deal with it" she says with an eye roll of her own, which was followed by a little giggle as she walked forward, leading Maverick wherever she went.

Did his chest physically constrict just now? An unbelievably bubbly emotion rose to his throat and lit up his eyes. "Aww," he said, teasing and mocking. "I'm cute. But so are you."

"I'm glad you admitted it" she says turning around with a little bounce and a smile. Yeah, it actually took a lot for her to say that to him. Though the fact that he called her cute….
She couldn't help but turn back around and hide her red face.

Oh. The unspoken word rests at his lips. A- dare he call it- impressed look crosses his face at her display of confidence. Letting the girl hide behind her hair, Maverick decides not to push it too far. "It's not something that needed to be admitted," he says, smirking.

"Well….." She turned around, tapping her bottom lip as she thought. "It was to me!" She says twirling back around and continued walking. They soon came across a whole bunch of food markets, restaurants and such.
"Anyway what should we eat?"

His eyes narrow infinitesimally at her back. “You’re cute,” he states firmly, finally letting his eyes wander the plethora of restaurants. He chews on his tongue, asking, “What’re you feeling?”

"Ah! Uh…what!? N-" she was too embarrassed and flustered to finish her sentence then Maverick said something.
"Oh uhm……something sweet or something spicy… No in-between. Are there any ghost peppers?" She looks up to him with a little head tilt, actually wondering if she could find any of those around here.

Maverick’s expression morphs into one of shock and disgust, a stark contrast to earlier. “We’re finding lunch,” he emphasizes, “not a deathbed.”

"What?! Well, we could put ghost peppers on something" she says a little embarrassed. She shouldn't have said something weird like that.
"oh golly, Maverick probably thinks I'm so weird and gross now!"
