Wonwoo and Mingyu see each other the next day; they spend all of their recesses together and they eat lunch together (Hoseok accompanying them, smirking at Wonwoo knowingly every time Wonwoo laughs at Mingyu's jokes or even does so much as smiles or glances at Mingyu). They also end up agreeing to see after school.

Wonwoo sighs, exhausted from the long and stressful school day, and drops his bag to the floor of his dorm. He walks to the small kitchen, rubbing his tired eyes, and starts rummaging through his fridge, looking for something to eat. To Wonwoo's huge dismay, there's basically nothing edible in it as he once again hasn't done the grocery shopping. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Wonwoo grabs his wallet and keys.

He is just about to leave his dorm as his phone rings. He reaches out for it, seeing that it's Mingyu calling. They had exchanged numbers so that it would be easier to make plans for the day. Wonwoo picks up quickly.

"Heyyy."

"Hii, what's up?"

"Nothing much, I'm just about to leave to the grocery shop to get something to eat. My fridge and also my stomach are very much empty right now."

Mingyu chuckles quietly and Wonwoo turns the volume up and presses the phone closer to his ear to hear Mingyu better.

"Are you free after that?" Mingyu asks.

Wonwoo smiles, although Mingyu can't see it, "Yeah, I am."

"Can we hang out then?"

"Sure!" Wonwoo says, smiling wickedly. It's kind of embarrassing how excited he is already.

"Nice!"

"So, I'll call you when I get home?"

"Yeah, call me." There's a short pause, and then; "actually... I'm pretty bored. Like really really bored. Can I come to the shop with you? I can help you with the groceries!"

Wonwoo laughs, "Yeah, sure! I'll come by your dorm so we can go to the shop together."

"Sounds good, I'll be waiting for you."

"And I'll be there in few minutes!"

Wonwoo puts his shoes on and grabs his jacket, walking out of the dorm and starts making his way towards Mingyu's dorm.

"You gotta buy at least tomatoes!"

"But I never eat tomatoes. They'd just rot in my fridge."

"Well, now is a perfect time to start eating them! Also, you should buy lettuce and cucumber. And oh! We totally forgot about the fruits! Let's get some of them as well," Mingyu talks excitedly, making his way to the fruits and vegetables already.

"Uhhh... I really don't think I'll eat all of this. I really don't think I'll eat any of this," Wonwoo looks and sounds skeptical.

Mingyu just lets out a tiny, soft sigh.

"I'm sure you will. I'll make it my personal goal to teach you how to eat."
