Sweets

When Jungwon got his mark it had taken him a while to figure out what it was. In the beginning he thought he was just having very vivid cravings for sweets or some very specific lasagna he had never had. But after his mother had dragged him to the doctor the secret was finally revealed, his mark was taste.

It could've been a lot worse, he knew that. And if he was being honest he found it fun most of the time, the only downside was that you ate breakfast when he ate dinner and the two things rarely suited each other very well.

He had a theory that you deliberately ate the sweetest things in the mornings for that exact reason, but it was a hard one to prove when the two of you hadn't met yet. But as time passed he learned to eat early or late, all depending on whether or not he would want dessert before or after his dinner.

When he was on I-land the food was whatever young boys wanted to make after a long day. Sure Jay did his best but in the end, they were young and instant ramen seemed like the easy way to go.

It had ended up getting so bad you started eating salads for the first time in your life, no doubt an indicator that he seriously needed to take care of himself and his health. He had laughed at that but tried to listen.

When he debuted he knew he had a platform bigger than most, so he did his best to make sure he was eating whenever he was on camera. It could be small things and snacks, maybe even full on meals, because maybe you were a fan watching along? He hoped you were.

And then he went viral... for something as basic as strawberries with chocolate.

"Dude it's everywhere..." Sunoo said as he checked weverse in the middle of dance practice. He hid his head in his hands.

"I know" he groaned. "God it's so stupid, of everything I could be eating it had to be the most generic thing ever"

Jake laughed. "It could be worse, it could've been bread with butter or plain rice"

"Any response yet? Like did she maybe eat it too? You know, as some kind of bat-signal?" Heeseung asked as he threw a soul-bandaid on his knee, it was hurting yet again.

He just shook his head. No, there was nothing. You liked sweets, he knew that much, but you currently had an obsession with some kind of pastry he himself had never tried and unfortunately not chocolate covered strawberries.

But he now knew what he had to do to go viral, so he milked the meme for absolutely everything it had. Unfortunately you seemed to be annoyed at all the chocolate covered things he ate, and got the habit of eating a slice of lemon shortly after.

He hated it, mostly because it was a disgusting combination but also because it led to a lot of wierd facial expressions, all who became memes for engene to utilize.

He threw himself in bed and yelled into the pillows. "You okay?" Sunghoon said as he had overheard the commotion.

"Yeah it's just getting annoying," Jungwon said. "It's been years and I'm no way near finding her"

"Don't worry too much, she'll come running with years worth of memes when the times right" the older man laughed as his leader.

"I'm sorry Hoon" he said silently, as he picked at a thread in one of his pillows that had come loose.

Sunghoon just shrugged: "don't be, I'm used to it. Now come down for dinner before Jay comes up here and rip both of our heads off"
