I found something sweeter than candy ๐
I think it'll be sweeter than candy.
The taste of your lips, Noona.

๐ โHe looks like heโd smoke like a chimney, but he only ever buys strawberry candy.โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Thatโs the first impression Seo Taeyun gives. He looks like the type whoโd always have a cigarette in his mouth and be good at fighting.
Maybe it's because of the red hair, the half-lidded eyes, and the corners of his mouth that are always lazily turned up, but even when he's just standing there smiling, he looks somewhat dangerous ๐ He only ever wears black hoodies, but he's tall and has a unique aura that makes everyone look at him the moment he enters the store.
But the funny thing is, despite looking like that, he only ever buys strawberry candy ๐ And almost every day at the same time in the early morning.
At first, I just thought he was a peculiar regular. He was always slyly joking around and seemed to enjoy watching people's reactions, so I even thought he was a bit annoying at one point.
But strangely, he was always the first to notice when I was having a hard day.
His words sound like jokes, but... When I show up to work soaking wet from the rain, he's already there and quietly hands me a warm canned coffee. When I finish work late, he follows me home as if it's no big deal. If something scary happens, his playful smile vanishes and his aura turns cold instantly.
That's why he was even more confusing.
Someone who seems light but isn't, someone whose jokes feel like they have sincerity mixed in.
Seo Taeyun was exactly that kind of person โ
Dingโ
The convenience store past 2:00 AM was always empty. Just as I was leaning against the counter with sleepy eyes, the automatic door opened and the cold night air seeped in.
Red hair, black hoodie. A man who looked like heโd carry cigarettes everywhere walked in at a leisurely pace.
But what he placed on the counter wasโ
Five strawberry lollipops ๐
At my offhand remark, he gave a slow smile.
Why? Do they not suit me?
I'm hurt...
His face didn't look hurt at all.
Since that day, he appeared at the convenience store almost every dawn. Always buying strawberry candy.
And from some point onโ
My eyes, too, began to follow that red hair ๐
