Dedicated to Faithagain, who helped to supply this scene and inspiration.

As they walked, Eun Soo chattered constantly, this and that about her home. Choi Young nodded as they walked, their purchases under his arms and his left hand. She stopped walking and clapped her hands together in excitement. Choi Young turned his head to face her and asked, "Why did Imja stop?"

"We're dating, aren't we? Oh how did I not realize that before!" She grinned and wrapped her arm around his free arm. "Have I told you about heaven's way of courting?" She continued, walking and looking at different stalls still.

He coughed quietly to keep from being embarrassed from her words, before realizing that he was to answer her. "No, I haven't heard those customs of yours," He replied, confused as to why it was named 'dating', as if they were a date on the year?

She waved her hand about enthusiastically as she explained. "Well we'd be calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend, and we'd go on things called dates, where we go shop, or eat, being together." She tapped her lips in thought.

He raised one eyebrow as she talked. "What does it mean to be 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend'?" He inquired, mentally trying to take in all the words.

"Basically we'd try to spend as much time as we could having fun and relaxing," She explained, letting go of his arm to look at a stall closer.

Choi Young nodded and looked at the packages he was carrying. So far it seemed like it he was doing it properly. He looked down at her as she picked up a small bracelet. "What else?" He asked, using his free hand to touch the bracelet as she held it.

She smiled and lifted it higher so he didn't have to bend down to inspect it. "Well we'd spend time together, maybe go and visit a version of a play called a 'movie', where we'd get popcorn and soda to share." She grinned up at him. "Can I get this too? It's not too expensive?"

He shook his head, a little smile growing on his face. "Nothing is too expensive. Get all that you want," He replied warmly. He handed a few coins over to the seller before turning back to her.

She grinned and squeezed his arm affectionately as she held out her hand for the seller to package it and hand it back to her.

They continued on their conversation again as they walked. Choi Young thought back in her words. "What exactly is a 'popcorn' and 'soda'?" He inquired, his brain trying to place anything similar to those words.

She smiled and gave a quick laugh. "Those things aren't too important, I almost never get them myself," She replied, her hand waving in front of her face. "Let's keep looking," She suggested.

They stopped off at another jewelry stall with smaller trinkets. She picked up a ring, turning it around in her hand as she thought. She placed the ring down again, walking down the road again, tapping her fingers on her lip. "What else could I teach you?" She muttered to herself.

She stopped again and pulled on his arm to have him face her fully. "There's another tradition but that doesn't happen until tonight when it ends," She said, her eyes twinkling.

He smiled and nodded his head. "I understand," He said simply, dropping her hand to hold it safely in his. "You said we would eat if we were dating. I know a good place," He said, pulling her along as she skipped next to him, humming happily. He raised his hand holding hers to kiss briefly before letting to drop between them again.

They entered into the Manbo siblings house, Choi Young nodding to the sister. "Did the boys find any leads?" He questioned his pledged aunt after he made his greetings.

She clapped her hands and ushered them to the table. "Of course, they're the most dependable! How could you not know with how much you use them? Aish, this punk," She said, scowling at him before turning to Eun Soo with the biggest smile. "High doctor! Here here, come sit down!" She grabbed both of her hands and led her to a seat secluded in the corner.

Eun Soo looked at Choi Young with big eyes as he sat down beside her. "You're looking for Gi Cheol, right?" She asked, grabbing a spoon from the container in the middle. Her eyes roamed around the house in curiosity.

He placed a hand on her arm to get her attention before sliding down to hold her hand. "Don't worry about him now," He insisted, gently tracing circles on the back of her hand. "This dating means to have fun, correct?" He asked to remind her of her earlier words.

She gave him a small smile and scooted closer to rest her head on his shoulder. "You're right. I'll let my boyfriend handle the mess," She conceded as he let go of her hand to wrap his arm around her shoulders.

He looked around the room to make sure no one was in there to watch before kissing the top of her head. He wasn't sure still of all the words she had said today, but it seemed at least he made her happy for a little while.

As they headed back to their room, Eun Soo pulled on the General's arm in front of their bedroom door. His eyebrows scrunched together as he asked, "What?" His arms were getting sore from the way he was holding all the packages of all the things they bought today.

Eun Soo's eyes creased as she smiled brightly at him. "Do you remember me saying that there was another tradition after the date?" She asked, her hands held behind her back.

Choi Young nodded, wanting to state that he remembers every word she speaks. "Yes, I remember," He said plainly, his free hand moving to run his fingers through her hair.

She reached up to grab his hand and pull it down to hold it in front of her. He intertwined them naturally as he waited for her explanation.

She squeezed his hand before speaking. "At the end of the date, the boy escorts the girl home, like we just did. And then as they stop at her door, she says the following thing." She paused and gazed into his eyes. "I had a wonderful time today," She said in a slightly flirty tone, pulling on his hand to step closer to her.

This time he squeezed her hand, before letting go and rested it on her shoulder. "I'm glad. I did as well," He replied, choosing to leave out how much he wanted to put the boxes down.

She then closed her eyes and lifted her head in anticipation of a kiss. He noticed and very carefully put down the boxes with both hands before cradling her face with his hands and kissing her softly and sweetly. Eun Soo rested her hands on his chest, her fingers curled on his robes.

Finally after a few moments, she broke it off and gazed into his eyes. She bit her bottom lip coyly and ran her fingers down to his stomach. "Now I'd go inside," She continued in her explanation, her right hand hanging onto the ring door knob. She looked into his eyes, her eyes smoldering.

He stepped closer and placed his hands on her waist. "Then what?" He asked in a low voice, leaning down to try to kiss her again. She leaned her head back to avoid him, leaving him concerned.

She kept her grin to show him everything was fine. "I'd invite you inside," She responded, her voice quiet and filled with need.

Hearing the silkiness of her voice, his hands tightened on her waist, waiting for her next words. "And then?" He questioned, his voice hot on her face as the mood now intensified.

Her grin widened as she stepped to the side to open the door. "We can discus that in privacy. I want to organize my new clothes and jewelry!" She exclaimed, picking up a few packages.

He stared as she walked into the room, happy after the long day. He shook his head lightly before picking up the rest of the boxes. He would never understand her completely, but it didn't matter to him. She could spend the rest of her life talking in heaven's words, but still he would listen.

Thanks for reading! This is the first scene from a collection I'll be doing of random Faith/Great Doctor scenes that either fit somewhere in another of my stories (Faith Snippets), or that I don't have a specific time frame in mind. This is of the former type.

To Faithagain, I hope that you like this! :heart: I tried to fit in things best I can and I feel like it all worked together smoothly. It's hard to write Choi Young's expressions for when he's confused and trying to figure out her words, but I think it came out alright. I hope you don't disagree XD.

I have at least two more scenes in mind that I'll be working on! :) So I'll see you then!
