Tomorrow With You (ChanBaek)

Chapter Forty Three

"Do you think this is enough?" Baekhyun asked while looking at the contents of their push cart.

"There's six of us. So I think we need to get more meat."

Chanyeol took a few more bags of sliced pork belly from the freezer and placed it inside the cart. He added a few more bottles of soju, thinking what they already have might not be enough.

"Who are you trying to get drunk?" Baekhyun asked.

"Dumbass! Grilled pork belly is best paired with soju."

"Did you buy beer?"

"Not yet! Let's go get some." Chanyeol said as he started pushing the cart towards the beverage aisle.

"Who's Jisoo taking again?" Baekhyun asked.

"He said he's taking a friend with him. He didn't say who."

"Maybe one of his friends from high school. I haven't seen them for years now."

"Is it really okay to have dinner at Min Jae's?"

"He's already expecting us. It's too late to back out now. Besides, dad called me the other day saying he's sad that I didn't come home for dinner on our graduation day."

"I'm sorry you ate with me that night." Chanyeol flashed a wild grin and received a half-force punch on his chest.

"Don't be so cocky. You forgot to feed me real food that night and let me sleep on an empty stomach."

"I cooked you breakfast!"

"You mean the omelette?"

"Ya! That was made with love."

"And lots of salt." Baekhyun teased.

"Was it really that salty?"

"Yeah." Baekhyun said as Chanyeol's face started to get gloomy. "But it was the best omelette I had."

"You're just teasing me."

"It really was. Why would I lie about that? Do you think I'm lying?"

"You're just making me feel better." Chanyeol whined.

"Is it working?"

Chanyeol looked away from him while they walk and stopped at the aisle of chilled beverages, next to the frozen produce. When he looked back to ask Baekhyun what brand of beer he wanted, be was surprised from a sudden cold, frozen delight that melted when it was shoved inside his mouth.

"Whaa was yat?"

"What did you say?" Baekhyun said while laughing at him. Chanyeol took the spoon out from his mouth and swallowed the ice cold, dairy treat down his throat.

"What was that for?"

"You looked sad. I wanted to give you something to cheer you up."

"By shoving it into my mouth?"

"You don't want it?"

"Wait. I never said that."

"I guess I'll finish this ice cream all to myself."

"Ya! I said I wanted the ice cream!" Chanyeol whined.

Baekhyun scooped a generous amount and raised his hand towards Chanyeol's face. Chanyeol took the scoop with his mouth and stared at Baekhyun's eyes before pulling himself, leaving the ice cream inside his mouth.

"Get a room!" Both of them looked surprised to see Min Jae looking at what they are doing. "I knew I shouldn't leave you two to do the groceries."

"Min Jae, why are you here?" Baekhyun asked.
