"Where did you even get this car?" you questioned them, baffled at the vehicle in front of you.

"I don't exactly know," Woojin whispered to you. "Jisung and Sungwoon are always doing something weird."

"That's for us to know, and you to not find out," said Sungwoon plainly. He was sitting in the open trunk of the car. Jisung was in the driver's seat with his legs propped up, hanging out of the open window. And Woojin was standing right next to you, half expecting something like this from Sungwoon.

You approached the car to see the condition of it. It wasn't new or anything, but it wasn't real dirty either. You already gotten your driver's license a couple of years ago but you didn't own a car of your own yet.

"So are we just going to sit around outside all night because I didn't sign up for this," said Woojin, slightly bothered by how no one ever seemed to have a plan to do stuff.

"Calm down, Woojin. And it's still summer so it's not cold out here. Just relax." Jisung stated peacefully.

"But uh―are we driving somewhere?" you asked, genuinely curious as to why Woojin called you at 9pm for.

"That's my job! Woojin and Jisung don't drive so I will be your guys' experienced driver."

"Okay then 'experienced driver', where are you going to take us?" Woojin half-mocked, using finger quotation marks.

Sungwoon got up from the car trunk and Jisung moved to the front passenger's seat. Woojin and I got the idea so we hopped in the back seats and waited for the car to start.

"Thank you for boarding the Sungwoon-mobile! buckle in your seatbelts, asshats." Sungwoon sneered as he sat in the driver's seat. You stifled a laugh at 'Sungwoon-mobile,' but you couldn't help it once he was scolded by Jisung.

"We have arrived!" The car ride wasn't awkward like you expected it to be and because Sungwoon played music in the car, so even when no one spoke the silence was comfortable.

As everyone exited the car, you looked up at where Sungwoon had taken you guys: The mall. At this, you were super excited about, you've been hoping there was a store nearby that sold Samuel's CD and maybe pick up some cleaning supplies Minhyun told you he wanted to get. You started jumping around happily before you turned around and asked Jisung, "What time does this mall close?"

"We have a little over an hour." You sighed in relief and continued to run quickly into the shopping mall. He smiled at your happy state and walked in as well.

You quickly went into a music store and found the CD you were looking for and afterwards, walked to the supply store and found picked up a few bottles of disinfectant spray for Minhyun.

Outside of the store, you found Jisung looking through windows of clothes on display. "You planning on getting anything, Jisung?"

He looked at you straight in the eye before answering, "Don't be silly Y/n─ people are supposed to go to the mall to look for things they want, and then look for it online at a cheaper price." Letting the words process, you realized how much smarter that was.

"Eh, I'm an impatient person sometimes." you sighed simply. "But I'm gonna look for Woojin."

Done with your own purchases, you began to look for Woojin and found him inside a store filled with model airplane kits and other boyish looking toys. He smiled when he saw you, that revealing his snaggletooth.

"Hey Woojin! Jisung is outside waiting for us. The mall is going to close soon."

He just nodded his head quietly and proceeded to take three boxes of kits upfront to the cashier.

Before you could exit, he grabbed your arm. "Don't run around again- you might get lost. Just wait with me." You nodded your head and stayed still and waited for him to finish the transaction.

Once that was over with, you, Jisung and Woojin had to look for Sungwoon together. But finding him wasn't that hard since he was looking for more moisturizers and face masks. "Why do you need so many for?" you questioned.

"Sungwoon has the best skin out of all of us. And those masks and lotions and his routine are why." Jisung started to explain.

"Ooh can you teach me?" you asked Sungwoon.

"Uh maybe save that for later," Woojin said before Sungwoon could reply.

"Hey it's rude to interrupt others!" Sungwoon complained.

"You do that all the time to us," Woojin retorted.

"Yeah but I'm older," Sungwoon scoffed. "Anyways, it's time to head back."

Walking over to the car, you started to feel drowsy. "Hey Y/n, what's your address? It's kind of late―we'll just drop you off now, okay?"

You were too tired to object to his kind gesture and told him the address of aunt Haewon's house.

Trying hard not to fall asleep to the calming drive, you caught yourself almost resting your head on Woojin's shoulder―but the few bumps on the road kept you awake.

Once Sungwoon pulled up into the driveway of your aunt's house, you decided to strike a conversation with the driver since Jisung and Woojin had already dozed off when all of you got to the car. "Hey Sungwoon, you're really great... Thanks for taking me home. I don't know you that well yet, but I really enjoyed today. Thank you."

"Well you're home late," Aunt Haewon commented. She was watching some late night music program on tv.

"Hey Auntie, I made friends here. They're really nice to me. And they're funny."

"Oh? I'm glad."

"Actually I made them a couple weeks ago. But I thought I'd let you know." you waited for her reaction before continuing. "Well I'm going to sleep now. Good night Aunt Haewon!"

"Good night, Y/n."
