"Officer....Choi?" Nova sasked looking at his record. It was fairly thick.
"Choi Taejin-failed several drug tests. Speaking angrily in korean. You dealt with children- you can deal with him."
"b-but- i wanted to get a custard tart" Nova said before being pushed into the room with the man. Nova made eye contact with the most intimidating man she's ever met.
"Curse me out againand I will rip your hippocamus" Nova warned.
Nova adjusted her glasses. Not making eye contact.
"You have once again failed your drug test. As you know a third time will result in-" Nova looked at the numbers. "Now that isn't right."
She didn't notice Taejin glaring at him. There was a hum. "Do you like eating poppy seed bagels?" Nova asked. Taejin was staring in surprise."There levels are incredibly low, but poppy seeds can give you a false postive." Nova remarked. There was a hum. "Just skip a poppy seed bagel before your third test and you'll pass." Taejin looked at her in suspicion. "Take a chance why don't you." Nova said.

Nova glanced at the results and saw Choi Taejin's. She smiled in excitement and let herself skip out.
"Mission accomplished. I can buy a custard tar-" Nova paused before seeing Taejin in the lobby. Nova sqeauled before running backwards.
So much for her custard tart. But Nova didn't notice Taejin looking at her
______________________________________________________________
Nova was walking across the hallway walking on her merry way. Nova was surprised she was pulled into a doorway.
There was Taejin dressed in his uniform before covering her mouth. Nova's eyes widened in surprise. He put made the shh gesture. There was a box saying joesonghabnida, nagisa. Nova opened the box seeing custard tarts. Nova gasped.
"Custard tarts." There was a bright smile. Nova put it aside before giving him a hug. "Thank you Taejin you're the best."
Nova pulled away with bright red cheeks and takes the tarts.
"That was unprofessional of me I apologize." Nova said running out embarrased. Maybe if she looked up she would have seen TJ blushing and looking at her in awe.
Little did either of them knows it was the start of something special.
