Finding The Spark

Run-in

HJ: So boys, what do you want for dinner tonight? Eomma and I both decided for us all to have dinner at the park this evening. How does that sound? 

Bc: Yay!

Chan's eyes lit up with excitement and Jisung smiled at him, happy with his reaction.

SC: How about Sushi?

BC: I want sushi!

Jisung smiled hearing the boys chose exactly what he himself wanted for dinner. 

HJ: Alright! 

Jisung parked at a sushi place near the park they all planned to have dinner at.

HJ: Do you both want to come inside with me? 

Chan clapped to himself, excited to go to the park. Jisung couldn't help but again smile at Chan's constant excitement as if getting sushi that night was the most interesting thing in the world to him.

Changbin himself thinks silently for a moment.

SC: Why not?

Jisung nods in agreement, not wanting to seem over-protective, but still slightly uncomfortable with one child waiting alone outside.

HJ: C'mon Chan!

Chan quickly unbuckled himself and jumped out of the car, holding Jisung's hand as they went inside. Changbin came out of the car slower, evidently not so excited as his little brother. Once they got in line, they recognized the couple in front of them.

HJ: Seungmin? 

SM: Jisung-Hyung! 

Their eyes met as they talked, Minho looked at them with a feeling that though they tried so hard to like each other, there was still that bitter feeling of uneasiness that came whenever they were around, though she was uncertain. 

HJ: What's up? 

SM: Not much, just grabbing some sushi before heading home.

MH: Hello Chan!

Chan looked up at Minho, happy to see her again, despite feeling shy at the moment.

BC: Hello. 

Minho kneeled down to match Chan's eye level, he stared back with wide, curious eyes. 

MH: What are you gonna have Chan? 

Chan shrugs, unsure of how to reply, his feelings of shyness seemingly taking over fully.

Minho chuckles, not pressing him to answer. 

MH: You're so cute!

BC: Thank you. 

Minho smiled widely at the soft-toned reply. 

Seungmin looks at Minho, which causes him to smile as well. He can't help but begin imagining her as a mother. He sighs at this thought, wondering if that day would ever come, and having an aching feeling that it may not.

The person in the front of the line takes their small tray of sushi and makes their way out of the building. Seungmin then kneels down slightly, patting Minho's shoulder.

KS: We're next.

Minho looked up at Seungmin, not wanting to turn her attention away from Chan.

LK: Oh, alright.

Minho stands up and orders with Seungmin, the smile on her face quickly leaving. It only took a few minutes for their treys to be handed to them which contained many different types of  sushi.
