Bad Omens - 5

Ha Chae-yoon had a comical expression on her face as she stared at Min Tae Gu's outfit. They decided to meet up in the place where they were have lunch instead of him having to pick her up at her place.

He was handsome, as usual, in his jeans and casual white t-shirt. However, he had an eye-catching horseshoe charm around his neck, a four-leaf clover pin and his sneakers had lady bug decorations on the shoelaces. Of course, his tiger eye bracelet ever present.

"Was there a sale of talismans at the market and were you the only customer they had?" Ha Chae-yoon couldn't help but ask.

Min Tae Gu's eyes widened. "I need loads of luck, Inspector. My clock broke! A broken clock! You know what that means, right?"

"You're... probably going to be late for an appointment?"

"They say it means I'm going to be stuck. I can't move forward. And there are worse interpretations!" he explained, agitated.

Stepping forward, Ha Chae-yoon took his face in her hands. "The clock broke yesterday?"

"I think so," he answered.

"That means, if you're stuck... then you're probably stuck with me, yes?" she asked.

The frown on his forehead started to disappear. "I guess."

"Would it be so bad to be stuck with me, Mr. Min?"

Min Tae Gu's face broke into a wide smile. "I guess not." Pulling her close, he kissed her forehead. "Can I keep my charms? Only for today? Just to be sure."

Ha Chae-yoon laughed. "Sure. Now, shall we eat?"

They presented quite a view to anyone watching them for afar. After all, they were quite a handsome couple. Ha Chae-yoon looked impeccable and elegant in her all white ensemble -- matching white shirt and jeans and strappy sandals that gave a peek of her red polished toenails, Min Tae Gu looked equally handsome, just don't look too close at the different good luck charms scattered across his body.

No, Ha Chae-yoon didn't seem to mind. She still stared at Min Tae Gu with eyes that conveyed how much she adored him and laughed at everything he said. Even just him puffing out a breath made her laugh. "You're so cute."

"I'm serious! I don't want you kissing me if you won't let me kiss you back," he protested, crossing his arms and pouting at her across the table. When their food arrived, he made sure to set the table so that Chae-yoon could easily reach the side dishes she loved and pushed the steak he ordered closer to her before they started eating.

Watching him do that, she took a break from laughing at his being an adorable baby complaining about kissing and patted his hand. "Thank you. You're very sweet to me."

Min Tae Gu actually blushed at the compliment. "Eat."

Midway through their meal, someone called out, "Oppa!"

Min Tae Gu and Ha Chae-yoon turned to the voice and saw Min Hyun Ju making her way to them. "Hyun Ju-ah!" Tae Gu greeted happily. Standing to greet her, he put an arm around her as soon as she was close. "What are you doing in this area?"

"I was going makeup shopping after lunch -- WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?" Hyun Ju asked, making a face as she took in all the charms on her brother.

Ha Chae-yoon couldn't help but laugh. "His clock broke so he needed an extra dose of luck."

"Inspector! Hi!" After saying their greetings, Hyun Ju slid on the seat beside Ha Chae-yoon. "I'm so glad you're still seeing him! My brother is a bit strange but he's a good person."
