The pancakes and bagel were served ten minutes after ordering them, the scent making all boys' mouths water. They immediately dived in, cutlery sounding against ceramic and Jeongguk disregarding the fork and knife on the table just to eat the bagel with his hands.
The youngest, after having devoured half a bagel, placed it down to drink from his mango milk. He eyed the thick yellow pancakes in front of the others. A pout formed on his lips and he looked up at the older boys whose lips were stained with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
"Your pancakes looks yummy", he mumbled, before looking down at his bagel. When he glanced up again two forks were shoved in front his face at the same time, both Taehyung and Jimin looking at Jeongguk before looking at each other. They both had had the same idea to give the younger a piece of their pancake, not knowing the other had the same plan.
The younger chuckled before quickly eating both pieces of pancakes from their forks before one of them could retract his hand. "Thank you hyungs", he smiled, voice muffled by the pancake in his mouth, "It weally goof".
"Don't talk with your mouth full you child", Jimin chuckled, throwing a napkin his way, "And if you want you can have the rest of my pancakes".
Taehyung frowned and looked at the older's plate, seeing two out of four pancakes still lying there intact, "Aren't you eating anymore?"
"I'm full", Jimin shrugged, nudging the plate in Jeongguk's direction so he could reach his left over pancakes, "And I'm on a diet".
That made the frown even deepen and it seemed Jeongguk wasn't too happy with his hyung's reply either. "Diet isn't well!", he spoke up, nudging the plate back to its original place, "You should more eat".
"Yeah, you're skinny already", Taehyung said blankly, "Soon you'll be nothing but a skeleton".
Jimin rolled his eyes and huffed, "You're overreacting. I just want a healthier lifestyle. Be happy with it, this way you can have more pancakes".
"I rather have bit more Jimin than pancakes".
The voice was small but full of honesty. The oldest looked up to the youngest whose eyebrows were furrowed and arms crossed like an angry toddler. He had to stifle a laugh at the cute sight and rolled his eyes, "I won't die because of not having eaten two more pancakes. Now stop making a fuss about it and continue your food, both of you".
Taehyung and Jeongguk both huffed and reluctantly complied, both stuffing their faces with their food again. Once they were done – Jimin's pancakes split between the other two boys – Jimin stood up, beckoning the other two to follow him.
"Aren't we going to pay?", Taehyung asked, confused as to why the older was leaving without having paid. It was something he had done in the past many times before, with his old friends, but Jeongguk & Jimin didn't seem like the people to do these types of things. Taehyung thought he had finally befriended good and honest people.
