Surprisingly, going to the mart with Taehyung wasn't all that bad. Despite being a royalty, he seemed down to earth and his sense of humor was compatible with Sana's so the trip was quite comfortable. After having bought the ingredients for the meal, Taehyung also offered to help Sana in the kitchen. Initially she wanted to decline but he eventually managed to convince her. She didn't give him much to do though. His only task was to wash some veggies while she took care of the rest.
