Lunchbreak - Markhyuck

Diner Duo

"Yummy, this food looks delicious. Are you sure you aren't hungry?"

The older boy asks, scooping up some of mexican fried rice off his plate.

"Oh no no no, I'm...fine...I told you about my diet."

His friend answers, tapping his foot nervously.

"Your loss then..." He says, spooning more and more food into his mouth.

"Mm...tasty!" He teases, making his eating noises louder purposefully.

His friend shakes his head, watching him continue to tease him.

"And now we're in the zone...stand too close might...uh...?"

Mark reads aloud, scratching his head with the eraser on his pencil.

"Might...might...feel too bold? Nah..." He puts his work aside as a waitress serves him his food.

"Here you are sir, and here is your 'Big Boy Burrito'."

She chuckles, placing his plate down.

"Alright, thanks again." He laughs back, assessing the situation at hand.

A cellphone rings on the countertop to the right of him.

"That's my Mom, I'll just take this outside. Watch my food."

The medium-sized teen boy passes Mark, rushing to answer his phone call.

Mark watches the boy leave, continuing his search for lyrics.

Suddenly, a few strange noises emit from behind Mark, making him look for the source.

He spots a silver-haired boy, hunched over the only plate of food on the previous countertop.

He shoots him a look of half disgust and half curiosity.

The boy wipes his mouth with his hand, sitting up after swallowing.

The boy spots the other staring and gulps nervously.

"Um...what're you doing?" Mark asks, seeing the boy cough.

"N-N-Nothing! Ugh!" He coughs, seeing his friend come back.

Mark turns back to his work, focusing on his job.

"Sorry dude, my mom was wondering where we w- Donghyuck! What the hell happened?!"

Renjun rages, seeing his friend still coughing.

"R-Renjun, I-I. I ate it!" He explains, pointing at the plate.

Mark rushes over and hands the boy a drink of water.

"Take this, it'll help." He stares at him.

The boy chugs the water, coughing less.

"T-thanks dude..." Renjun stutters, bowing respectively.

"No problem, he looks pretty mad though." Mark laughs, earning a cheeky smile from the blonde boy.

"My name is Renjun, and yours?"

He holds out his hand to Mark, shaking it awkwardly.

"Mark, I'm a songwriter." He says, listening to Renjun.

"Oh cool, I'm an aspiring actor."

The two boys bond over their various hobbies.

"And I'm D-Donghyuck, and I nearly DIED because Renjun left his food open and then acted like he didnt invite me to eat it!"

The silver haired boy said, kicking his friend's shin.

"Ouch! That wasn't right Donghyuck!"

Renjun yells at his friend, causing Donghyuck to smile in a mischievous manner.

"I'm gonna tell my mom about you, and you'll be sorry..."

Renjun warns, seeing Donghyuck rolls his eyes.

"I liked meeting you two." Mark butts into their conversation.

"We liked it too, You seem cool, you wanna meet here again tomorrow?"

Renjun offers, rubbing his injured shin with his other leg.

"Oh Man, uh I guess so? I still have to find lyrics so yeah."

Mark accepts their invitation.

"Cool, I'm tired and going home now."

Donghyuck says, walking over to the counter.

"I've gotta go pay the waitress, but we'll be here, okay?"

Renjun walks over to the counter as well as Mark sits down to brainstorm ideas for more lyrics while he eats.

"Yeah of course, see you tomorrow!"

Mark waves at his new friends, sitting down to eat and think.

"See you tomorrow, Mark!"

Renjun calls out as they leave the building.
