HAPPY 추석!
It's Chuseok! Aka Korean Thanksgiving!!
So here are some Korean dishes, desserts, drinks, and snacks that I think the different members of the Bad Batch would enjoy!
Hunter:
Lots of spicy soups and meat!
A lot of this is just honestly my dad's personal favorites because,, dads y'know?
I actually don't eat a lot of these things but Hunter's got a stomach of steel so I think he can handle it
Echo:
Had a difficult time coming up with foods Echo might like since he's a picky eater
Lot of it is just really simple stuff with not too many flavors nor is most of it very spicy
Lots of veegtables and also things my sister and mom enjoy (both remind me of Echo)
Wrecker:
So much meat!!! Let's be honest - any and all meat from Korea, Wrecker is going to enjoy
He was the easiest to pick out food for because I think he'd enjoy everything
Lots of street food as well!! Which are my personal faves <3
Tech:
It was a bit difficult to figure out what Tech might like because I can't really get a read on him in terms of what his stomach can handle
I do think he has a sweet tooth though so I've included some of my personal favorite sweets!
I think he's a snacker though so a lot of these are just stuff you can much on
Crosshair:
Another picky eater - so it was difficult to come up with things for him
I also just think that he's not a big fan of Korean food to be honest :/ a LOT of it is spicy and he can't handle his spice so he doesn't really like it
HOWEVER he loves the ice cream and drinks of course <3
Omega:
SNACKS AND DESSERTS!!
Also included some childhood favorites because I think Omega would enjoy them as well!
Honestly most of this is just sweets because I think Omega would enjoy any and all Korean snacks and desserts above all else
Names of the foods and whatnot under the cut!!
Anything marked with an '*' are traditionally eaten during 추석!
Anything highlighted in blue are my personal favorites!
Read from left to right to identify dishes!
Hunter:
Kimchi jjigae (김치찌개) - kimchi soup; pretty spicy, honestly not one of my favorites but I think Hunter would enjoy spicy foods

"Lets go to Korea-town!"
tokyo rev x Korean reader
tw: cigarettes
characters: Wakasa
not proof read
"hey waka!"
"hm?"
"lets go to korea-town"
"what-town?"
your jaw dropped.
"babe do you know what korea is? its literally a country near japan?!?"
"hm? never was good with geography-"
"waka- im literally korean."
you saw his eyes widen
"shit really-? im so sorry, i never realized, nor did it matter to me to ask you about where you were from"
you rolled your eyes and grabbed his wrist, dragging him to the car. as you drove to korea-town you can tell hes not an outside person. his life just revolves around you and his gym.
You parked in a parking garage and told him that you guys arrived, he subtly nodded and left the car waiting for you to get out. you opened the door to leave and walked towards him who was just on his phone. he looked up quickly and reached his hand towards you. you gladly took it and you two left the parking garage.
you two entered korea-town. you first took him to a beauty supply shop because you wanted to grab something. he looked around mindlessly. k-pop playing in the background he walked towards the hoodies, he actually liked some of the designs.
"hey y/n? should i get this?"
"do you listen to them?"
"no."
you just looked at him. he changed his mind. you checked out your stuff and walked towards him to let him know you're done. he leaned his head forward to see what you got and you slight opened the bag. he saw a beanie, stationaries, and a poem book.
"so what did you actually come here to buy?"
"nothing, i just was curious"
he grabbed the bag and your hand and you two walked out of the store. while walking around k-town, he realized how Korean culture is different yet similar. waka saw how passionate you were about your ethnicity. its like something snapped in his head. he realized maybe he should make an effort towards your nationality.
the two of you just goofed off around taking cute pictures together. you felt a sense of warmth at the fact that he was opening up and having fun with you. as the sun was slowly setting you two decided to end the night at a korean restaurant for dinner.
the waitress seated you guys at a table outside to eat, she noticed you were korean and asked about your day. in korean. waka dismissed it and looked at the menu and he had a look of confusion in his eyes. once the waitress left all you saw was a very confused wakasa, this made you chuckle a bit. sucking up his pride he set it down and asked what the fuck it all meant. you looked at the menu and saw he was pointing at a picture with text under on what it was but there was no translation. it broke out laughing a little, you took the menu to read it, "일본 라면“ japanese ramen?
"it say's japanese ramen, do you want that?"
he nodded slowly with an embarrassed face, you didnt know why he was embarrassed but you could tell. its like his ego went down just by asking you for a translation. about 3 minutes passed and the waitress came by with some cha, she asked if you two were ready to order. you looked up and said 네 (yes),
"일본 라면 하나랑 김치찌개 하나 주문해도 될까요?" (can i order one japanese ramen and one kimchi stew?)
she wrote it down and nodded telling you guys it wont take long. when she left waka asked how long you lived in korea and when you moved to japan. you told him you moved to japan when you were 10 but since your parents were deeply cultural, they forced you to talk to them in korean to extend your language.
with a dumbfounded look on his face he had the audacity to ask, "do you know bts?" in a stupid "korean" accent. you stared at him with an unimpressed look and he apologized shortly after.
the food came out after a few minutes and you two talked about, or you were telling him some stories from korea and just your experience and funny family stories as he just ate his food and nodded.
when you two finished he payed and tipped the waitress, by the time you two left the restaurant it was already night and it was cold, not freezing but it was chilly. waka took his jacket off and draped it over your shoulders while holding onto you. "lets go home yeah?" you nodded against his shoulder as you two slowly made your way to the car.
a/n: idk why but i was hella unmotivated to write anything so if this is bad im so sorry😭 but i wanted to write this bc im korean. yeah thats kinda it. its kinda cheesy and kinda dumb but hey why not! 💀
