luckily, jisung was able to get through his first day working at sonic. it was finally time to go home, so other employees, were in starting to gathering in the backroom to grab their things.
and jisung was about to  do the same. but by the time he passed the counter, doyoung had started speaking to him.

"so how was the first day?" he asked, putting his jacket on. although he was talking to the younger, doyoung didn't look at him.
"was it as glamorous as you thought?"

"oh, uh... yeah? it was fine."

doyoung just chuckled at his response, already headed out the door.
"make sure you sign out before you leave."

jisung nodded, even though doyoung was already gone.
and so, he went to open the door to the backroom.

inside the backroom, donghyuck had just put his coat on, whining at mark and telling him to hurry up.
"maaark, hurry up, you slow poke! we don't have all night!"

jisung went to grab his things as their conversation continued.

"everyone else isn't even ready yet, jeez.." mark mumbled, finishing tying his shoes.

jisung tried not to listen on their conversation, mainly because he wasn't normally a nosy person. but he couldn't help to wonder where they'd be going, and why everyone else had to do with this.

"yeah they are! jaemin and chenle already signed out, and they're waiting outside!"

the door creaked open, jeno and renjun slipping in to grab their things.

"sorry, we had to clean the grill again..." jeno apologized, grabbing his sweatshirt and throwing it over himself.
renjun added to his words with a small scoff and rolled his eyes.

"see? even they took less time than you!"

"maybe because they didn't have to try taking off skates that were too small..."

jeno just chuckled at their playful bickering, claiming it to be a 'lover's quarrel'. to this, mark just scowled at him.

jisung made his way to the sign out sheet. he glanced at the group from the corner of his eye. secretly, he hoped that whatever plans they had, he would be invited to.

he knew that this probably wasn't going to happen, being that he just met them today.
but still... it would've been nice to get that invite.

just as he was about to leave the backroom, he heard mark call him.

"bye, jisung!"

in return, he gave him a closed mouthed smile.
"bye.."

jisung closed the door on his way out, heaving a long sigh.
just like donghyuck said, he spotted jaemin and chenle waiting outside.

from the window, chenle could be seen laughing at something jaemin had said. he threw his head back as he did so, his eyes crinkling.

even though the laugh was slightly muffled, jisung couldn't help his growing smile.

eventually he pushed the doors open, letting the cool evening air hit his face. in a way, it was sort of refreshing. inside sonic, it was hotter than he had expected. not only that, but the heat just progressively got worse as the day went on.
so, jisung was glad to get some fresh air.

"'night, jisung!" jaemin called out.

jisung turned around, seeing chenle and jaemin wave at him.
he waved back before walking out of the lot, and on his wag home.

deep down, jisung hoped they would stop him and invite him in to their plans.
but once again, he knew that would be unrealistic.

and so, he sighed, shoved his hands in his pockets, and headed on home.
