jeonghan nuzzled his nose into minghao's hair, pulling him closer to his chest. the four of them were sitting at mcdonald's since his minnie was hungry for chicken nuggets. he and minghao sat on one side of the booth while junhui and seungcheol sat on the other side.

'is it good, darling?' jeonghan asked softly, wiping his mouth with a brown napkin. he received a eager nod and grin, then the chinese boy continued to eat.

'mr. yoon, we need to talk,' seungcheol said, interrupting the small moment. 'your . . . employer will be expecting you tonight around eleven o'clock, am i correct?'

'yes, but i'm sure i'm not expected since i was thrown out yesterday because you picked me up, mr. choi,' he hissed. he gently massaged the youngest's stomach so he wouldn't get a bellyache. 'you're eating too fast, darling.' that made the boy slow down a bit, but he was still very hungry. 'mm, i don't feel very comfortable discussing my relations with mr. seo.'

'alright then. we'll discuss this in our hotel room later tonight.'

'our? i'm sorry, but i'm staying with minghao, not an old police officer.'

'i'm 36, mr. yoon, i'm not old. you're staying with me because mr. leo might try to find you. you'll be sleeping in a separate bed of course. i'm renting to penthouse suite, so be gracious. junhui will be staying with us as well, along with wonwoo.'

'i- well, as long as i'm not staying in a bed with you, it'll be fine. thank you,' jeonghan said the last two words quietly and kissed minghao's head softly.
