After the bar celebration fiasco, the three ability-users was living normally again. Seonghwa with his job, and the other two finding jobs to pass time and to help their hyung. They have been accepted at the nearby café and are working there for almost a month now. Seonghwa felt more relaxed now that all of them are now earning money, but he was scared that the kids won’t need him anymore. It made him kind of sad thinking that any moment the kids may leave him on his own. Thoughts aside, it was time for their monthly grocery shopping so he got his keys and drove to the supermarket.
 
 
 
Yunho and Mingi, ATEEZ’s power couple were out buying groceries so the other members were doing their own things. Hongjoong is in his office reading and signing important papers from his company. Jongho and San were in the training room getting stronger and practicing combats.

“Yah, Jongho-yah!”

Jongho flinched a bit but responded, “Why hyung? What’s so important that you had to yell at me when we’re 4 ft. away?”

“I was just wondering… the boy you were talking to at the bar, who was it?”

“Well, his name’s Yeosang. He said he was there with his friends celebrating something.”
 
San then wondered more, ‘was he Wooyoung’s boyfriend or best friend or something’ he couldn’t stop thinking about the sexy boy he found at the bar. He was just so different from everyone; he was somewhat glowing and feisty but he couldn’t point a finger at it.
 
 
 

Seonghwa arrived at the grocery store almost half an hour ago and is now in one of the aisles. He saw promotions of shampoos at the far corner and checked it out.

“Woah, WATCH OUT!!”

His body was slammed next to the rack and a man fell near his feet. “Oh my gosh, are you okay? I’m so so sorry!” the same voice apologized.

“Oh no no, its fine. How about you? Are you okay?” Seonghwa said while helping the man.

“Yeah I’m good. Thanks for asking and sorry again.” The man said feeling a bit embarrassed.

“I’m Mingi by the way” the man introduced, and the latter responded “I’m Seonghwa.”

“Babe?!” another voice came from behind. “I’m okay babe” Mingi said facing the other man. “Hi, I’m Yunho! Sorry for my boyfriend’s clumsiness” Yunho apologized to Seonghwa.

“It’s okay! No need to apologize.” Then he took some shampoos and left the couple there, smiling. Yunho also smiled and saw the rack of shampoos. He saw that it was a bit dented and broken because of the impact. He held it in place and expanded the dent in the metal rack and extending the folded end to fix it. Fortunately no one was watching.
 
After a couple more aisles, Seonghwa finished and got everything they needed. He went to the counter meeting the Yungi couple once more. They were laughing until they felt Seonghwa’s presence behind.

“Oh you’re the man from the shampoo rack. Seonghwa right?” Yunho asked. Seonghwa smiled and nodded.

Mingi then started a conversation, “Would you like to have coffee with us somewhere? We seem to bump into each other often!” Seonghwa’s eyes went wide quickly declining thinking he would third-wheel their date. Yunho then insisted and convinced him to say yes. They paid for their respective groceries and went to a café, specifically the café where Woo and Yeo were working at.
 
They ordered their drinks and Seonghwa managed to slip out that his friends were working there so the other two were thrilled to meet them.

Wooyoung got their orders and met the friendly couple, they clicked easily and got each other’s numbers. Yeosang met them too and was comfortable with them, much to his hyung’s surprise. They all conversed and got to know each other more.

“Well, it was nice to meet you three. You guys are very fun to be with but we’ve got to go the other guys must be waiting for us. Call us to if you guys want to hang out!”

They all said their goodbyes and the couple went off, leaving the other three behind. “I’ll wait for you guys here since your shifts are about to end.” Seonghwa said to the kids while paying attention to his phone.
 
 

“We’re home!!” Yunho yelled going inside the house followed by Mingi who was carrying all the groceries. “Finally! What took you so long?” San whined sitting in the sofa of the living room.

“We just met new friends along the way.”

“You found new friends without me?” it was now Jongho whining.

“Yeah and they were cool too. They feel different from most people.” Mingi nodded in agreement to Yunho’s statement. “Who are they?” Hongjoong said, going down the stairs and sitting next to the youngest.

“Their names are Seonghwa, Yeosang, and Wooyoung”
 
The other three quickly looked at each other, doubting what they heard.

“What?” Yunho decided to speak up.

“You met them too?” Jongho asked.

“Yeah, well technically Mingi accidentally bumped into Hwa at the mart then we got into talking and we decided to go to a nearby café then met two of his friend who’re working there. We actually had so much so we got each other’s numbers if we wanna hang or something.” Yunho finished his story and moved to the kitchen. The other three were speechless knowing that Yunho has contacts of the boys they couldn’t stop thinking about.
 

As fast as lightning, San fled to where Yunho was. “Do you need anything?” Yunho was definitely weirded out. San just smiled, “Psh, no! Do you?”

“Okay no, and stop that! It’s creepy” Yunho started to freak.

The others were only staring at them. “What’s up with him?” Mingi asked, confused. The other two just stared at each other and followed San and Yunho to the living room. And there they left a very confused Mingi. ‘What even is happening?’
