The owner smiled warmly at her request, pausing for just a second before handing over a piece of tteokbokki, smiling knowingly at her.
"Here you go, try it," the vendor said with a smile.
With anticipation building, Vera picked up the piece, her eyes glittering in excitement. She popped it into her mouth, and the moment the spicy sauce hit her taste buds, her expression lit up. "Wow, it's just superb. Nothing like, back at Kitezh…"
The stall owner laughed softly, clearly charmed by Vera's joyful reaction. "You are adorable," she said, shaking her head with a grin.
Nearby, Wang Jun chuckled, exchanging amused looks with his friend. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and it was clear she was genuinely enjoying the experience.
Vera beamed, enjoying the taste. After a few more moments, she turned back to the vendor. "One tteokbokki, please!" she said.
The vendor carefully handed her a freshly prepared serving, still grinning from Vera's reaction.
