Chapter 7

     By the time Felix caught up to Minho, the boy was gasping for breath. "Hyung! Can't you wait for me at least?"

     "No," said Minho, coldly.

     "Ahh! Hyung! Don't push me away again! What did I do now? You have to communicate with me!" Felix whined while clinging onto Minho's arm.

     "I know who you told my life story to... and I'm not happy with who I came up with."

     "Lee Know-ah! He was crying like you last night! Or, he was doing that creepy emotionless crying you used to do! We told them to better understand what he was going through! Please don't be mad Hyung! We really had the best intentions! Plus, it was Seungmin's idea."

     "Who was crying like I used to?"

     "Hyunjinnie."

     "So he really did have daddy issues," Minho muttered to himself/.

     "What?" Felix looked at Minho's face, inquiring.

     "Oh look! There's the restaurant I wanted to go to."Minho said, making a beeline to the retro diner.

     "HYUNG! MOTHER! Don't I get a say in this?"

     "NOPE!" Minho said, popping the 'P'.

     The two made their way into the homey diner with the rest of the party not too far behind them.

     "Welcome - oh hey Minho," the waitress began with a honey-sweet fake voice and ended with a more casual tone. She curiously glanced at the people behind Minho, the other two had caught up to the first two. "This isn't the usual crew? Are they new recruits?"

     "Ha!" Minho said, "They wish. But you know how they are with their group. I'm just temporarily leading. Y'know, training the maknae to take my spot."

     "You're also doing a super job at being their leader," the waitress said. "How many did you bring today?"

     "4 including me. Two are my troublesome roommates and one is their friend's roommate."

     "Awesome, follow me please," the waitress said while collecting the menus and turning around to lead them to a table.

     "You know the waitress?" HYunjin asked.

     "You have a regular crew you bring here?" Felix asked.

     "You're a leader? For what?" Seungmin asked.

     Ignoring their pestering questions, Minho followed the waitress to their spot.

     "Right here Minho, your regular spot. Would you guys like any drinks?" She asked as the boys took their seats. To Minho's annoyance, Seungmin maneuvered everyone so that Minho and Hyunjin were sitting on one side while the other two sat across them.

     "Just get them all lemonade, Rosé," Minho said, "Or else they'll get something stupid expensive or something that has too much sugar."

     "Alright, I'll be right back," SHe said as she left the boys on their own.

     "Why would you care about how expensive the drink is? Isn't Seungmin paying?" Felix asked Mingo.

     Seugnmin had a Cheshire grin as Minho rolled his eyes. "You wanna tell them, Seungmin?"

     "Yes, Felix. I am paying," Seungmin paused for a dramatic effect, "with Minho's money."

     "Oh! I forgot he did that." Felix said as he slapped his forehead.
