Once the group was seated in the restaurant they played rock, paper, scissors to determine who would go up to order and pay. Unfortunately, but fortunately for everyone else, Johnny lost. "Let's play one more time." He suggested.
"C'mon, it was fair and square," Mark said. Johnny sighed before getting up to order their food.
"So," Jaehyun started, "What should we talk about?"
"Deez nutz," Haechan said as he and Sungchan giggled. "I want to leave already." Xiaojun sighed. Everyone started chatting while waiting for Johnny to get back.
"Guys, wanna hear my Khalid impression?" Mark asked.
"Fuck no." Donghyuck rolled his eyes. "You always do that shit anyways."
"It really makes people laugh though!" Mark fought.
"We know." Yangyang chuckled. Johnny returned to the table with a confused look on his face.
"What happened?" He asked. The others stared at him for a minute until Mark broke out into laughter. "Nothing." They all said simultaneously.
Johnny raised an eyebrow but decided not to press further since they seemed happy enough with whatever was going on.
The waiter brought the pizza over and they all ate. They resumed their chatting soon after, enjoying the meal. Xiaojun was whispering something to Renjun, but nobody paid it any mind.
Xiaojun then leaned across the table towards Johnny, saying, "Hey, Johnny?" Johnny hummed in response. "Are you really gonna be shirtless again?" Mark started laughing uncontrollably. "Excuse me!?" Johnny scoffed. Everyone burst out laughing, while Johnny sighed, not seeming too amused by the situation.
The rest of the evening went smoothly, but the youngers started complaining once they got tired. Making Johnny, Jaehyun, and Mark the ones who had to deal with four grown men whining. So they all decided that it was time to go home.
"This was really fun!" Sungchan commented. Renjun nodded enthusiastically from his place between Xiaojun and Haechan. "We should do this again sometime!" Johnny said.
"Yeah, we should!" Mark smiled. They all bid their goodbyes and went in their little groups to go home. Those groups being Mark and Haechan, Johnny and Jaehyun, Renjun and Xiaojun, then Yangyang and Sungchan. It was a nice break from work and the groupchat. But of course, the groupchat is always alive. So there's no escaping from it soon.
