chapter three
"do you guys know when he can get out of the hospital?"
five of the boys were currently on their way back from the big building where their friend was. the roads were full of cars; it felt way too tight. if cars had feelings, then the boys knew exactly what the cars would have felt in this situation: suffocating, tight and afraid to get hit. but the "afraid to get hit" part was the current feeling of the boys, especially shownu who was driving his black car.
hoot hoot...
various sounds came from some cars behind them and in front of them. no one had any idea of why it was so packed. it was a normal monday afternoon and people were supposed to be at work.
"the doctor said he could leave this friday. but only if he feels better and if his injuries looking better."
changkyun knew some information that the others didn't know. but it wasn't surprising. he actually asked the doctor while the others were too busy watching over hoseok when he was asleep. but the boys seemed astonished by the sudden information the youngest just spit out. surprised sounds made the car feel even more suffocating, but changkyun just rolled his eyes at their childish behaviour.
"all right, i think we should get something to eat because i'm hungry."
not a sound could now be heard in the car, only quiet breathings. but the first one to actually comment was,
"are you serious, hyung? we ate like one hour ago."
jooheon pouted his lips as the red colour began to grow on his ears. he was a tiny bit irritated at the older man's appetite. seemed like the others felt the same way except for minhyuk who just lifted his arms high up in the air as shownu mentioned food.
it became silent after minhyuk started to come up with different types of food they could eat. but the others seemed nag about not wanting to eat yet because it was way too early. shownu was the first to speak up,
"we will find a chicken place and eat."
after the elder had mentioned chicken, kihyun's eyes immediately sparkled. shownu knew this would happen and he did it on purpose. kihyun was, after all, the only one who could force the other boys to tag along and eat.
"we'll eat chicken. that's decided then. no objections? no, thought so."
before the other boys could open their mouth, kihyun had already decided and there was no return.
"....only if i'll get my créme BROlée"
everyone already knew that it would come. the youngest was always obsessed with his dessert. he would always flip the menu to the dessert page first after settling down in a restaurant.
"changkyun... that's not how you pronounce it..."
jooheon felt like someone was boiling hot water inside of him, considering him getting all upset that a few of his friends started to take shownu's side instead of his.
"i know how to pronounce my favourite dessert, honey. but you know, i'm eating it with my bros, right? so why not call it: BROlée? get it?"
changkyun seemed to be awfully hyped for some odd reason. the male couldn't stop open his mouth for the whole car ride. even jooheon began to regret that he even questioned kyun's way of saying brûlée.
suddenly, they could no longer feel the car move. the windows were the only solution to knowing why they had stopped without any warning.
an average building was now in their sight.
"we're here. let's go."
the oldest was rather late with announcing their arrival. kihyun wanted to complain, but there was no way he could. they were located in front of his favourite place to eat chicken. all he could do was to lead everyone in and wear a wide curve on his lips.
"now, take your seat."
a waiter later came and asked for their orders. kihyun and shownu both ordered spicy chickens meanwhile the others took something that was far from spicy. the sound of the waiter moving his pen while minhyuk's loud voice began to order his coke, gave kihyun those nostalgic vibes. it's been at least a few months since almost all of them were in one place. like always, minhyuk had attracted attention towards their table by saying silly stuff. it was calming in a way. it was minhyuk and they were used to it.
"all right. anything else i can get any of you?"
they said "no" almost in synched before the waiter returned to the kitchen, most likely handing over their orders.
while killing time, they all started various kinds of conversation. laughter filled the table until kihyun said something.
"oh yeah. i bought this shirt yesterday. is it nice?"
after that, all the attention was now on the rainbow shirt with cows on. their stares seemed to get lost in the weird shirt of his. until,
"there are probably only a few people who can pull it off with that shirt. now we know that you're not one of them."
jooheon was first to high five changkyun meanwhile kihyun just lowered his head and observed his shirt carefully. kihyun knew that they were only playing with him, but sometimes it was too much. a sigh left his mouth,
"don't worry, ki. it looks good on you."
a gentle voice whispered in his ear while his gaze was still on his shirt. there was no mistaking the voice. shownu always had ways to cheer him up.
"alright. apologize to kihyun, boys."
jooheon and changkyun were both a pouting mess. they wanted to refuse but noticed that they actually did hurt their hamster mom a little. in the end, they sincerely apologized.
"cheesy."
minhyuk's comment ruined the moment.
