Her boyfriend, seemingly worried, chimed in, “Learn what? You need help to find your way around, and yet you want to be like her? Hmph."

"Mind your own business. I'll learn."

Nicole watched their exchange silently.

Given the couple's youthful appearances, it suggested a possibility that they were getting married without their parents knowing. Despite their playful argument, their affection for each other was evident.

Their simple and open display of affection was something Nicole found enviable. Listening to them lifted her spirits.

The girl offered Nicole some candy serving to celebrate the marriage.

“Miss, try some candy. I selected each one myself. They're all tasty."

Nicole wasn't fond of sweets, but the girl's beaming smile made it difficult to decline. She selected a piece of chocolate and said, “Thank you."

"Take one for your boyfriend," the girl suggested.

Feeling awkward, Nicole remarked, "He doesn't really like sweets."

But as she spoke, Jarrod said, "I'll try one."

Once more, Nicole was at a loss for words.

The girl extended her hand toward Nicole and suggested, "Miss, you should give one to your boyfriend."

Nicole, unable to refuse, selected a chocolate for Jarrod. He unwrapped it and tasted it promptly.

Nicole did the same, under the watchful eyes of the girl.

The chocolate had a subtle bitterness that transformed into a sweet and aromatic flavor, proving quite delightful.

The girl, watching intently, asked Nicole with hopeful eyes, “Miss, is it delicious?"

“Mm, it's delicious," Nicole confirmed.

"I knew it would be," the girl said with a chuckle. "Even though I can't taste it myself, I made sure to pick a good one based on lots of research.”

Curious about the girl's statement, Nicole inquired, "What happened to your sense of taste?"
