"why do you always make wack ass plans and do them the same day, man!?"

matthew huffs and puffs, spluttering out complaints as he rushes to grab his hoodie and lip balm, phone and headphones--he might've been stressing, but he still needed to be prepared, okay?

"like seriously! you gave me two minutes to get ready! two! damn! minutes! how's a guy supposed to get ready that fast?!" he moans, struggling to fix the very fashionable rips in his jeans cuz they rode up like a bitch and showed his boxers--"I mean, do I look like the flash to you? there's no way I could super speed my way into being this hot bruh, you gotta be more considerate!"

taehyung throws a sheepish yet smug smile over his shoulder before speeding up, feet passing each other as fast as light--matthew gives a shocked scowl in reply--"you're even smiling about it, oh my god, you're a demon bro." he wails, tripping up a little when he tries to match his best bro's fast ass librarian pace as they head out the apartment complex.

"you're the devil himself, aren't you!? oh god--where are we going? why are we going? god damnit, are you gonna kill me?"

taehyung puffs out a laugh, "no, dude, I'm not gonna kill you."

"then why can't you just plan before?!" he screeches out in reply, brows jumping when taehyung stops and turns while pointing his car key at him.

"because planning equals anticipation and anticipation equals high expectations and high expectations are always crushed at the mall--especially when you're capital B mcfucking broke." he nods in reassurance, twice, "now let's go."

he swivels back around happily and marches on towards his car, paint job old and rims dirty and gunky--matthew will never understand the love taehyung had for his car, but respects it nonetheless.

as they approach the car, matthew checks himself out in the reflection of his phone's blank screen, finding himself as stunning as ever with a tempting expression of deep thought--

jseph is busy unlocking his car door when matthew comes to a bright conclusion, "wait, but if we're, as said by you, "broke" why would we, two money lacking men, go to the mall, whilst lacking in money, when we need to not lack in money so we can survive in this money hungry world?"

taehyung sighs, opening his door gently but wide enough for him to slide in, on instinct matthew follows behind; rounding the car to get in the passenger's seat despite his constant nagging.

matthew makes a face when he realizes his bro was completely silent--however, while he went on and on with his over the top speech about money, taehyung was endlessly trying not to burst out in song about all that he wanted to do for his best friend.

jseph reaches across to open the giant's door and leans back with a huff, "get in."

matthew grimaces, "what's the point, dude?"

it takes a lot not to die inside and give up as well, but taehyung prevails and starts the car; "we're going, matthew, now get in the car."

the giant grumbles and complains under his breath before sliding into his seat, slamming the door a little (and taehyung necks him for that) before snatching at his seatbelt.

"fine," he mumbles, moodily staring at his phone, "but first we have to go to forever 21."

taehyung chuckles proudly.

"deal."

taehyung is fed up.

they've barely gotten past the escalators (which he hates very much) and 9 girls have already approached matthew with their digits prepared and their flirt game on.
