Fifteen

The road began to get bumpy in some areas and the excruciating summer heat left the air conditioning of the van on blast while four of the seven boys were sprawled out in the back of the car, Doyoung being the only still sitting up. Jaehyun and Taeyong still remained in the front, the brunette silently singing the lyrics to a song that was playing on the radio.

Donghyuck groggily sat up, his arms reaching back for one of his two bags and unzipping one. He pulled out a glass tupperware, his soft voice stating,"I brought watermelon."

Mark sat up beside the ginger, almost eagerly removing the plastic lid and grabbing a slice.

Donghyuck gazed to the shorter boy across from him,"Ten, you want some?"

The Thai awkwardly shuffled away from Donghyuck and closer to Johnny,"Uh, no thanks."

Doyoung reached forward towards the younger and grasped the top slice. He sat back against the slid of the van, with a bite of watermelon at the side of his mouth, he questioned,"Jaehyun, how long are we gonna be stuck in this van?"

The brunette nonchantly replied,"About three days I guess."

Doyoung's expression painted with concern and judgement at the answer as his eyes panned to everyone he was next to. He looked back to Jaehyun,"Are you serious? You're kidding, right?"

The brunette grinned,"Hm, you're the one that agreed to come."

Johnny reached over to younger and grabbed a slice, then turned his head towards the driver's seat,"Dude, can I connect to Bluet-"

Doyoung interrupted,"No. You wanna listen to Lil Malaria or whatever, then use your earphones."

Ten grabbed his back pack which rested behind him and unzipped it. He pulled out a black laptop spotted with stickers,"I brought my laptop, why don't we just watch a movie or something?"

Johnny bit the tip of his slice,"Can we watch White Chicks?"

Ten brushed his fingers against the mousepad on his laptop,"I think it should be on here."

Doyoung let his head fall the opposite way, he mumbled under his breath,"Why did I agree to come?" He peeked behind Taeyong's headrest,"Do you mind if we switch? I can't stay back here."

The older unbuckled his seat belt,"Oh, sure." He pushed up off the seat and scooted past Jaehyun and into the back, Doyoung then hopping into the passenger seat.

Jaehyun slightly turned his head back to the boys gathered around Ten's laptop, his eyes still fixated on the road,"Hey, you guys wanna stop and get something to eat?"

Johnny kept his eyes on the screen,"Dude, we're already in the middle of nowhere."

"A sign a mile back said there's supposed to be a cafe down the road."

Ten intervened,"Sounds like horror movie stuff."

Doyoung turned to Jaehyun,"They're stupid, let's just stop by there."

Jaehyun drove for another two miles before they reached a vintage looking roadside cafe. Despite wanting to finish the movie, all seven boys got out of the van and into the cafe.

The cafe floor was a red and white checkered tile, the booths and chairs were a cherry red and the tables a clean slate of white. All of them somehow managed to fit into one booth, afterwards splitting the menus between each other.
