Sei was wonderstruck. Even though what flashed across Davi’s face could hardly be considered as smile, Sei still felt extremely gratified. The corner of her lips lifted for just a fraction of a second but it was enough for Sei’s spirit to be exalted. Finally, there was change. No matter how little it was, to him, it was a huge sign.

That moment, Sei was way too happy that he reacted late when Davi quickly walked towards the other stall. His grip on her hand also loosened so as soon as Davi stepped away, their hands parted. Davi immediately halted and looked behind her. However, the crowd had separated them.

Davi’s heart started beating wild. Well, she knew that Sei was never used to this place. This was even his first time and knowing that Sei didn’t allow his body guards to follow them, she can’t help but be anxious.

"S-sei!" She immediately called out his name, panicking. She tiptoed and looked around once again. Sei was still nowhere to be seen, causing Davi’s soldier mode to immediately start being activated. The panicked expression in her eyes turned dangerous when suddenly, a warm familiar hand held hers, dissipating the negative emotion that was brewing in her eyes.

"I’m here." Sei said and as soon as Davi saw his face, she dragged him away from the crowd.

In no time, they stood near a bench as Davi started talking.

"Didn’t I tell you not let go of my hand? What if you’ll get lost?" She said. Her expression was worried and she looked exactly like a mom scolding her little child.

Sei could only stare at her before he slowly lifted his hand and landed it on her head as he looked at her with a puzzled look.

"Did you mistake me for little Shin? How could a grown man like me possibly get lost?" He asked and Davi could only blink. Well, he was right. The Sei who didn’t know how to watch a movie, how to stir a soup, how to chop potatoes and how to peel apples was already in the past and that this Sei in front of her wasn’t ignorant with worldly things anymore.

"I was just worried." She could only reply as she averted her gaze away from him and Sei just smiled.

"You don’t have to get worried. I won’t let go of your hand again." He said and Davi looked at him with a serious gaze.

"Can I tie you?" She asked and Sei fall silent.

Tie?

Sei was puzzled while Davi turned to looked around. She saw a booth selling threads and pieces of cloth in different colors and she again dragged Sei towards it.

After buying a red piece of cloth, Davi tied it in his wrist. She tied it the soldier way for it not to be untied so easily before she made him help her tied the other end of the cloth on her wrist.

Looking at their tied hands, Sei couldn’t help but smile. He was obviously pleased with Davi’s idea and he himself wanted this red cloth to tie them together like this permanently.

"Are you satisfied now?" Sei asked and Davi nodded.

"Mm. This way, I won’t get worried anymore." She replied and she was about to drag him back to the fruit booths when Sei pulled her.

"It’s ten minutes. I need to recharge again." The man spoke on her ear and Davi just blushed again. She turned towards him with reddened face.

"But there are lots of people here." She said but Sei just smiled. He pulled her towards the colorful fabrics hanged outside the booth and as soon as the fabric hid them, Sei moved his face towards her, close enough that their noses were brushing against each other.

"This is good enough, right? Can I kiss you now?" He asked, earnestly and impatiently, causing Davi to utter an "Mm" in an instant.

That moment, the two kissed again as the colorful fabrics dancing with the wind just turned dreamy and romantically magical.

By the time they went back and continued their first experience in the market, more and more people were starting to notice them. Their faces were hidden by the black glasses and their black caps but by simply looking at their physique, people can’t help but look at them in awe. Moreover, the red cloth tied in their hands was just romantic enough that even old ladies started feeling jealous. Well, anyone who could see them that moment was forced to eat dog food.

"Sigh... I never thought that I was force to eat dog food in the market of all places."

"Yeah right, don’t you think this is a taping for Korean drama?"

"Now that you mention it, but where are the camera man and everything?"

"Err... seems like that couple is real."

"Yeah, I’m so jealous."
