[Christmas Land, Heart Signal Day 11]
{OST: "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms}

Night had fallen over Seoul and Namjoon and Jisoo were starting to get hungry, so they headed to a nearby Christmas market for dinner.
Jisoo: I wanna eat that!
Jisoo pointed at a food truck selling meat skewers, jumping up and down excitedly as she tugged on Namjoon's sleeve.
Jisoo: Oppa, let's go eat that!
Namjoon smiled as he allowed himself to be dragged away by Jisoo towards the stall.
Namjoon: I never knew you liked meat that much.
Jisoo sobbed as she got into the queue quickly.
Jisoo: I freaking love meat skewers, you'll never understand, oppa.

Namjoon smiled as he scratched his head

Namjoon smiled as he scratched his head.
Namjoon: Is it that good? Is it something that serious to be sobbed over?
Jisoo nodded with a grin as she pointed at the menu on the food truck.
Jisoo: Spicy flavour! Let's get that one!
Namjoon: Oh-? You like spicy food?
Jisoo grinned.
Jisoo: No, I love spicy food. Can't get enough of it.
Namjoon: Oh.
Jisoo raised her eyebrows.
Jisoo: Why? You can't take spicy food?
Namjoon laughed as he shook his head.
Namjoon: Oh, no, that's not it. I'm okay with spicy food. It's just that I was reminded of Taehyung, who can't handle spice for nuts.
Jisoo's face fell.
Jisoo: Oh.
It went silent for a while.
Shopowner: May I help you, young lady?
Jisoo was staring blankly at the 10,000 won in her hands, so spaced out she didn't even hear the shopowner. Namjoon stepped forward, handing the shopowner a 10,000 won note.
Namjoon: Two spicy meat skewers, please.

Seokjin: Is it just me or does Namjoon-ssi bring up Taehyung-ssi at every opportunity he gets? He has the makings of an amazing wingman.
Byulyi: Oh, wow. Such a pity you're taken, huh.
Seokjin: Mmhmm. Wait, what?
Seokjin let out a nervous laugh as Byulyi stared him down.
Seokjin: No, what nonsense are you spouting? Absolutely no way!

Jisoo: Sorry about what happened just now.
Jisoo took a seat on a wooden bench next to Namjoon.
Jisoo: I just kind of spaced out a little over there.
Namjoon nodded as he took a bite out of his meat skewer.
