filler chapter, please bear with me haha <3

Minho POV: (the entire chapter<3)

"Okay, i think you should check on them. Don't worry, i wont pry. You can go help them about... whatever the situation is."

As Jeongin left, I sank back into the couch, confusion swirling in my mind. Why were they crying? They probably fought, but I couldn't imagine Seungmin—a grown man who was always feisty—shedding tears over an argument. Should I be concerned? Did this become my problem too? I had only just met them, so maybe I shouldn't involve myself.

Yeah, I shouldn't pry.

After what felt like an eternity, the trio emerged from the back room. Their faces were still slightly red from crying, but they wore small smiles. I figured they must have had a heart-to-heart and resolved whatever had happened.

Trying to keep things light, I smiled at them and asked, "Hey, everything alright?"

"Sorry we left you," Hana said with an awkward chuckle.

"No, no... It's whatever. I'm just glad everything's okay between you guys. Now, come on, those drinks have been sitting out for ages. I would've started without you, but I decided to be decent." I flashed a genuine smile.

"Decent, my ass," Seungmin shot back, laughing.
"You should've started without us."

"And risk making you whine again? yeah I'll pass"
I said teasing him

"Oh, this hyung is catching up on the teasing!"
Jeongin said to Hana as he plopped down next to me.

"I'm not even mad; good one,"
Seungmin replied, smiling at me.

"Well, whatever it was, let's try to forget it, okay?"

"Sir, yes sir!" Jeongin said, saluting dramatically as he reached for the bag of drinks.

Seungmin and Hana settled onto the other couch, while I got comfortable with Jeongin. He pulled out four cans of beer and three bottles of soju, and we each grabbed one.

"Should we make a toast?" Jeongin suggested.

"Yeah, we should! It's our first time drinking together," Hana chimed in, raising her can.

"What happened to toasts being cringe?"
Seungmin asked, smirking as he popped open his drink.

"They are cringe. I'm making an exception. You heard that, Minho?" Hana shot back.

"Yep, got it. Jeongin, come on, give us a toast," I urged.

"HUH? I mean, I don't know... Maybe cheers to a new friendship?"
Jeongin stammered, flustered.

"Cheers to a new friendship It is"
Everyone said, clinking their cans together. 

"Cheers to a new friendship it is!" we all said, clinking our cans together.
