Sexfriends

Chapter 2

Undead are lost. In the middle of downtown. Kaoru can't remember where the restaurant is and Koga keeps complaining that the blond is only useful when playing around with girls but when it comes to their unit, he's as useless as ever. They end up bickering once again, and have to be stopped by both Adonis and Rei as they start bringing attention. They are all hungry and agree on the fact that they should focus on finding the place as soon as possible.

After a few minutes, Kaoru exclaims "Oh, found it. I finally remember."

The restaurant's sign says "Korean BBQ" and doesn't look as imposing as the other ones around. It's actually barely noticeable, which explains how hard it was to find it. Adonis seems delighted with Kaoru's choice because barbecue obviously means a lot of meat. Koga's actually the first one to rush inside as the hunger's too strong to bear. The other three follow him soon enough and enter the restaurant a few seconds later.
As expected, it's a small place with not much decoration besides a few framed pictures. Everything's in wood, from the walls to the furniture and each table, surrounded by pillows, has a grill in which customers can cook their own meat. Adonis' eyes sparkle at the view and smell since it's the first time he goes to this kind of restaurant. He truly looks like a kid in an amusement park.

The four members then remove their shoes before sitting on the pillows. Instead of taking individual dishes, the two seniors decide to let their underclassmen choose all the meat they want so they can share and eat together. Koga and Adonis are already struggling with what seem like life choices. Rei smiles at the scene before looking at Kaoru, who's been texting next to him ever since they've arrived.

"Hm, by the way, isn't this place a bit too cramped for a date, Kaoru-kun? You planned to bring ladies here at first, didn't you?".

"Well, I actually changed my mind at the last minute." He replies without taking his eyes off his phone "I thought that it'd be weird to bring guys to my dating spots, you see. So I remembered this place I used to go to with my family as a kid so yeah...It was such a long time ago so that's why I couldn't remember the way."

"Is that so? Oh ho, does that mean you consider us as your family, Kaoru-kun?"

Kaoru lifts his head, "Haah...Don't just go and assume things, Sakuma-san. I chose this restaurant because it's the only one I wouldn't bring a girl to because of the smell of meat and how small it is...Not very appealing for a date, you know."

Rei answers, "I see", before turning his head to Adonis and Koga who are apparently done choosing for everyone. They start shooting the breeze, especially about the other Yumenosaki's students. Adonis thanks Rei once again for his advice the other day, as Souma indeed recovered and returned to school quite fast. They also talk about their respective clubs and Kaoru wonders how it's even possible for the Light Music Club to be even active if Rei sleeps in his coffin the whole afternoon away. The conversation gets so lively, everyone seems to be having a really good time and Rei believes this hang out was a great idea.

After dinner, Koga suggests going to a karaoké he knows nearby. Everyone agrees as it's Friday anyway which means time to enjoy their teenager life to the fullest. Once again, Adonis is curious since he has never been there before, meanwhile Kaoru knows the place really well too as it's one of his favorite hang out spots. Karaoké's the best place to show off his singing skills in a more private place than a stage, after all.

They reach the place after around 5 minutes. Kaoru and Koga are both regular customers so they end up bickering over what's the best room to take and what snacks to eat. As always, Adonis is the one calming them down while Rei giggles at the scene. That's exactly what makes him happy: he likes Undead the way they are and doesn't want them to change in the slightest.
