"I'll order apple juice for the younger ones, okay?" the hyungs nodded.

"Ten ge and johnny ge~" someone called the two. He's young and definitely seemed mature-looking (and cute btw).

"Hey yangyang! Glad you made it. Your shift already ended?" ten asked.

"Ah yes yes!" he answered politely. Then he introduced himself and greeted the others.

"Uh is that seat taken?" he is pointing the the chair between xiaojun and hendery.

"Seat there!" taeyong said enthusiastically.
'At last. The two will behave'

"Ah hello there! Im hendery and the one on your right is xiaojun." hendery introduced himself and xiaojun. Xiaojun waved at him with a goofy smile on his face as well as hendery. The younger waved back.

"Uhm... Hello I'm yangyang, Liu yangyang " yangyang introduced shyly.

'Omg they're handsome' he mumbled silently, in chinese (hoping they will not understand)

"wAIT -- are you from china?" xiaojun asked, suprised just like hendery.

"Technically ye--" the two shrieked in joy and they started talking in chinese.

'I don't like where this is going. Am i going to babysit 3 people now ?' kun thought

Taeil poured the apple juice on the youngers' glasses. Taeil cleared his throat.
He raised his glass. They eventually raised their glasses too.

Lucas started the toast "let's celebrate for the uh-- what are we celebrating for again ?" lucas scratched his nape, embarrased.

Jungwoo whispered on his ear.

"Let us celebrate the employment of taeil, ten and johnny-hyung. May they last long in their jobs. And we also should celebrate the return of our two chinese bros and the addition of another new chinese friend, yangyang"

They all clinked their glasses and drinked.

"Let's eat!" they all said excitingly .

They stuffed their mouths with food but its not a hindrance to talk and mess with each other.

"Hey don't eat while you are talking" hendery said to xiaojun.

"Back to u! But isn't that ' don't talk while you are eating '" xiaojun fired back.

"They're just the same aren't they?" yangyang stated, his cheeks full with food. The two cooed at how cute the younger is.

"Hey taeyong have you eaten the bulgogi already? It's so delicious!" kun exclaimed

"Ikr. Try this too " taeyong pointed out the dish.

Taeil can't concentrate on eating because of johnten flirting.

Chensung are pigging out, eating what their eyes can land on.

'But its nice to hang out once in a while. We can't do this often because of our schedules.' taeil continued eating with a smile on his face.

"Ahhhhh! Im so full rn" yangyang said while caressing his tummy. Yangyang became comfortable with them in just a span of 1 hour.

"Ey Jungwoo. You know what.... Our food in the restaurant is much more deli--" johnny as abou to agree henjungwoo hit ten's head slightly.

"Says the one who is still eating the ice cream"

"Well, nothing could go wrong with ice cream" ten said a matter-of-factly.

"So see ya in saturday mah bois ?" jisung said

"Don't be informal with the hyungs. They are old so we need to respect them-- ow!" chenle said, rubbing his arm that was hit.

Apparently, they were the last customers so  they were only left by with the employees.

Taeyong bowed at them and said "We are very sorry that you have to put up with our noisiness"  the employees just laughed and nodded.

They eventually split up because its getting late. Jungwoo rode with lucas because it is much safer.

Lucas also invited taeil to join them but then, he will leave the bicycle at the mall.

He dropped by the convenience store to buy bottled tea because he's lazy to make it at home.

He sat on one of the chairs, facing the window. He admired the vehicles that rode pass the store.

'Ah its so peaceful here' he thought

Someone sat beside him. He heard a can being opened and the drink smelled like coffee.

Taeil was too sleepy to check the man out.

Doyoung glanced at the person beside him. He kept glancing at his face to confirm it.

"Isn't this tom?" doyoung whispered to himself.

"Who's tom? Me?" taeil glanced at the man but he can't see the man's face with the shades and hoodie.

Doyoung panicked. He then hurriedly finished his drink and stepped out of the convenience store.

Taeil shrugs to himself and soon exited the shop too. He went to his bicycle and rode his way back to his apartment.
