Is That What Happened?

Goldfish (t e a s e r)

"Taehyeong open your eyes."
My eyes snap open and I jump alittle from the small tapping on my arm. Blinking rapidly I started to gain more consciousness and readjust myself. JiMin is standing above me watching me. "Wake up sleeping beauty, we're here." "Already?" I reply back stretching and yawning. My senses fully coming back to me. I see Joon-hyung and Sseok-hyung picking up their bags and walking out off of the plane. Still groggy I take a look behind my seat, Jeonggoogg is just waking up too. Stuffing his feet in his shoes quickly and putting his jacket on sloppily whilst taking his bags in his hands, he rushes pass me giving me a quick glance. "You are coming hyung?"
"Yes." I say back as I pick myself up out of my seat, stretch again and rub my eyes. It takes me a moment to find my bag, JiMin waiting for me in the doorway. I quickly find my suitcase and pull up the handle and drag it out with me. JiMin laughs, "Were you really in a deep sleep you forgot where your bag was?" I chuckled back, "Oh yeah I was...in a really good sleep." We proceeded to walk off of the plane.
"Crap! Hold on!" I exclaim quietly enough for him to hear and turn around to clutch my gucci slippers, because I was barefoot, and the book I was reading.

We have finally arrived in Finland. After so many hours of flying from Nebraska and Thailand on tour for our new album. This is just another stop for a three week concert we're about to perform. My legs hurt and I miss my brother. We all miss our family that is nothing new.

We checked into our hotel and went out for lunch. Us splitting up in awkward numbers to different cafés.
Joon-hyunh, Jin-hyung and myself going to the Gelato and Él Gato café. Arriving the first thing I read is the menu. The only options they have for food are these weird sheep intestines in beef broth over mashed potatoes and carrots. Limited seafood selection meaning, no shrimp or octopus. Cuban sliders and hot pastries. Boring as it gets. I order the cuban sliders.
"Joon-hyung you should try the sheeps intestines." I suggest. He shakes his head.
"Na. I'd rather get the cuban sliders."
"So pair up with me and we'll split the check."
"No no... Actually, okay yeah. We'll do that." We nod our heads simultaneously.
"I think it says something about a human shake. Not sure I wanna eat here any more." Jin-hyung says slowly putting the drinks menu down on the counter and backing away laughing. My eyebrows pop.
"Wait a second let me see this." Joon-hyung says picking up the menu looking at it. He shakes his head chuckling lowly. "No hyung it says HUNMAN shakes. I think it's a certain flavor that's almost like vanilla but slightly less flavored." He explains, Jin nodding "Aaahh." Looking less skeptical of this place. I don't think hunman is a word, he bluffed that whole thing. That was smooth. Starting more into the café looking for a table for three, I settle with a counter connected to a wall that extends atleast 10 more seats down. My two older friends following me.
"Don't you think Min-hyung would've liked it here?" Joon-hyung states.
"Yes. It's quiet and has soothing music. Not too crowded. Maybe we were a little mean when we beat him in ka-i-ba-i-bo sending him off with JiMin to the far northern side where it's more popular." I say smiling at my hyungs. Joon-hyung nodding and smiling, Jin-hyung opening a pack of salt and eating it. "Why do you always do that?" I ask him.
"To make sure it's salty." He responds and chokes when the grains settle on his taste buds. Immediately regretting his useless habit.
"Ya, everytime you eat salt like this your skin dries out more hyung. Then you complain about still getting acne." Joon-hyung says to him.
"Everyone has a weird thing about them Joon. Even you with the way you pick your nose and stare at your boogers until you find a reason to discard of it." Hyung snaps back. "And Taehyeong-i with the way he has to cuddle something to sleep." "Hey! What do I have to do with this?" I asked appauled. "You started it asking me about my habit. You KNOW I do this for a reason. I can't help it." He giggles replying. Our waitress comes up to us.
"Good afternoon gentlemen. Have you all decided on your meals?" She had to be about 5'3. Looked Filipino. I nod my head and look at Joon-hyung. He nodded and he looked at Jin-hyung. He picks up the menu again looking at it and speaks. "Yes, I'll have the soup of sheeps belly, and a warm cheese cake and a large HUN-MAN shake." He emphasizes. The waitress writes his order down and looks at Joon-hyung and I. I speak for us. "Uh, we'll have the burger cuban sliders with...cheddar cheese? Hyung do you want cheddar?" He nods. "Cheddar cheese, I'll have a warm chocolate mousse cake and a large strawberry lemonade." "And I'll also have your sweet cheese sticks with blueberry puree dip and a medium mango smoothie." He adds. The woman writes this all down nodding, a small "Alright. Will that be all?" She asks. We all nod. "Okay, be back shortly." I pull my phone out, just before she's out of ears reach Jin-hyung exclaims, "Wait! Can we all have some water too?" "Ofcourse." She responds. With that she leaves to the back. I scroll through my phone and tap on the French Mondly app. It's just such a sweet language I have to learn it. I was good at saying "bonjour" and "au revoir", asking what time it is and saying "Il pleut." so far. It was actually a lot harder than I thought. I only just started learning it a month ago. Not having much time to practice since we have so many rehearsals and runarounds.
Our waitress comes back and places our waters in front of us before updating us on the status of our food and disappearing into the back again. She was really cute.

Before I know it, she's setting our plates of food in front of us. My mouth watering instantly from the luxurious scent of meat and sweets.
I take a sip of my tasty lemonade and start nibbling on one of my sliders. Thanked her and watched as she left. She smiled nice too. I put those thoughts to the side as my appetite begins to awaken after a taste and I started scarffing down my food. As Jin-hyunh and Joon-hyung were doing. Oldest-hyung taking a sip of his shake.
"Mm!" his eyes widening. "That's good. Creamy and not too sweet. Even JiMin would like this. Have a taste." He passes his drink to us. We both take a sip and a bow. How perfect a description he gave about it. It was really good. Namjoon takes another large sip before passing it back to our fussy hyung. I sneak a sweet cheese stick off of Joon-hyung's basket, which he didn't catch. Stuffing it in my mouth before he turns around. Jin-hyung sells me out and Joon-hyung tries to stick his finger in my cake. I take another cheese stick.

40 minutes later~

'No hyung. You did it on purpose! Then I said, only because he doesn't have knees or a stomach. That's when he kneed me in my stomach. I bit his pinky so hard that he won't stop tearing.' I read Sseok-hyung's messages about his and Jeonggoogg's escapades. 'Sounds fun.' I replied. 'Im gonna spank him.'
'Why? ㅋㅋ'
'Because he's telling lies to Min-hyung that I bit him first.' Then he calls me. I ignore it thinking it was an accident. Then my phone blares with vibration again. I answer it this time.
"Ya Taehyeong I'm gonna beat this kid up, seriously." I hear hyung's voice is actually monotone. "Wait really? No don't." I giggle out trying hard to hold my gully laugh in. " 뭐, he's seriously staring at me with a pout, but his fists are clenched. Jeonggoogg you're ready to get slammed right here in front of all these girls? You sure you want that?" I hear his gwangju accent kick in thick and heavy away from the receiver at Jeonggoogg. Which meant he was serious. I slipped out of my chair catching Joon-hyung and Jin-hyung's attention. "What's going on?" I hear Joon-hyung ask. These two do this now. I raise a finger signaling im still listening, and I put them on speaker. Suddenly followed were a slur of curse words from maknae-jeonggoogg. "금붕어..." We all frown in concern. What the what, This whole time..
I hear a rustle into the reciever meaning someone picked up the phone again. "You guys, I'm gonna leave Jeonggooff here before I actually get angry." followed by a click signifying that hyung just hung up before I could say anything. "Oh no." I mutter lowly and look at my hyungs. "Should we go now?" Jin-hyung asks. "Yes. Hyung split the bill with Tae and I." Joon-hyung declares. With a nod of agreement he pulls out his wallet as do Joon-hyung and I, I beckon for the waitress. If I'm gonna deal with our memebers fighting I wanna get something more than food out of this. She comes over with a sweet smile. "All ready to go?" "Yes." I answer her. Taking my hyungs' money combining it with mine handing it to her. "We'd like to split the check." She takes the money her face says confusion.
"You mean you are all paying your separate bills together?" She asks. "Mhm." I nod.
"Okay, I'll be back with your change."
"Thank you." Jin-hyung says to her. She walks to the register, and we clean our mess. Then she comes back with our change and receipts. "I hope you enjoyed your meal?" She Implies. "Yes we did. Thank you very much." I hand her a tip of 30 dollars.
"You have beautiful eyes." I say to her. She blushes as her eyes widen and puts her head down. Smiling shyly. "Oh...thank you... So do...you."
Gosh she is so cute. I give a small chuckle and we head out. I turn back one last time to see if she got the paper I put inbetween the bills. She pulls a brown folded paper out, opens it and smiles. I turn back around before she looks at me.
We catch a shuttle bus to another bus that takes us near the café Jeonggoogg and Sseok-hyung are... Well, were in.
