In which there's 'All you can eat' and all you can lie.

"So, who wants to start?"

Mirae looked at the boys and girl around her in the attempt to take her eyes off the delicious sushi that had been placed on the table a few seconds ago. She had already her chopsticks on hand, ready to grab the food and dip it on soy sauce...oh boy, her mouth was probably drooling out.

"Ladies first," Hyunjin proposed and all the boys turned to the only two girls on the table.

Soobin gave her a look and Mirae nodded, choosing the sushi that had caught her eye. She dipped one of the sides onto the small plate with the soy sauce, eating it with a big satisfaction. "Mm, delicious," she mumbled.

"Have a nice meal, everyone," Chan grinned and the boys let out a lazy cheering before everyone started grabbing sushi out of the big plate.

As Mirae kept on eating sushi, she involuntarily moved her legs under the table, unable to keep her delight. She was a big sushi lover, but since her sister and mother couldn't eat it she couldn't enjoy it as much as she'd like to. Being there, eating all she could eat of sushi, was like the best day of her entire existence.

And the fact that she was with her friends was just a plus.

"Are you dancing?" Felix asked next to her, a teasing smile on his plump lips.

She glared at him while chewing and shook her head, knowing her remembered her overly-excited dancing to Mr Mr. Once she swallowed, she leaned onto him and whispered, "You have to stop bugging me with that or I'll stick your chopsticks far up into—"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Why do people always ask that?" she mumbled and grabbed another sushi, "Take it as you want, just please stop it."

She heard him giggle, "Alright, if you say so."

"Thanks—"

"Dancing queen."

Without even thinking it for a second time, her elbow hit Felix's side. He moaned in pain, the other boys looking up at him with confused faces.

"What's wrong?" Woojin asked while holding a roll of sushi in between his chopsticks.

Felix shook his head and grumbled, "It's nothing. I, uh, hit my knee with the table."

Apparently it seemed like a complete valid explanation to them even if he was holding onto his ribs as they didn't ask anything else.

Mirae looked at the Australian boy and class seatmate for a moment before eating another sushi. She chewed it down and drank a bit of her glass of lemonade and looked back at him, "So, how is it all going with Nora?"

"Nora?" Minho to her left asked, frowning in curiosity. "Who's that one? Is Felix dating her?"

"Who's dating Felix?" Hyunjin in front of Mirae asked, leaning in.

"What are we talking about?" Changbin bugged in, eating another sushi.

Maybe if Felix was fluent in the language, he might have cursed and told hundreds of profanities to the girl next to him, who could do nothing other than laugh against her hand.

Felix dropped his chopsticks and rubbed harshly his face, a grumble of annoyance going out of his throat. "There's nothing going on with her, don't gossip."

"What?" Changbin asked Hyunjiin, who quickly updated him on the topic. "You asked her out?!"

"Who's Nora? And when did you asked her out?" Minho questioned since he had already graduated and didn't have a single bit of idea of who the girl might be.
