9. Mini-Mart Madness

(A/N: There's not really any madness, I just wanted to use another word the started with the letter M.)

Jeongin's POV

"Hyungs, I'm going out to the mini mart with Hyunjin, do you need anything ?"

Chan and Changbin were cuddling on the couch, chan wrapped up in Changbin's arms, his back to Changbin's chest.

Seungmin was beside them on the floor, reading a book while getting his hair played with by Chan hyung.

Chan and Seungmin both lifted their heads to look at me, Changbin had his eyes shut.

"Can we go with you ?"

I looked at them, unsure.

I wanted this to be my chance to get a short break from cuddles, but I wouldn't mind them coming with me.

"Why're all my babies leaving me ?"

Changbin questioned, reaching out with grabby hands towards Chan hyung and Seungmin as they waited for me to answer their questions.

"Well, I never said yes."

I told him, and when Chan and Seungmin held the biggest pouts on their faces I was so close to cracking, their expressions making me heart feel like it was being squeezed tightly.

"I don't really feel like going, so if you go, get me some sour patch strawberries."

Changbin explained, looking more than exhausted.

"You get some rest, we'll be back in a little while. Do you want a drink of any kind ?"

Changbin smiled at me, I could see a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Maybe some strawberry lemonade juice ?"

He asked, his voice wavering in uncertainty.

"Anything else ?"

I leaned down to give him a short kiss before I asked.

"M' not sure."

He answered softly, reaching out for me as I pulled away.

"Are you sure you're feeling well love ?"

I gave him a hug shortly after letting him pull me into my arms, I questioned him once I pulled away from him.

He looked anywhere but me with a light frown coming to his face.

"No answer ? That's fine, we'll be at the store call if you need anything."

I explained, turning away from him with a slight feeling of anger building up inside of me.

I gave him a short kiss on his forhead, pulling away as Chan and Seungmin looked over at me, a sad look in their eyes.

We walked out of the apartment, I was ahead of Chan and Seungmin, not ready to talk to them about what just happened.

We reached the mini mart and there stood Hyunjin, Kkami in his arms.

"Since it's late I don't think there's many people, I think they'll let me have Kkami in here."

I nodded at his words agreeing with him, Seungmin and Chan greeted him excitedly, giving Kkami little chin scratches as they greeted him too.

"Where's Changbin ?"

Hyunjin questioned innocently, a curious look in his eyes.

A silence fell over us as he looked at us in uncertainty.

"He, uh... stayed behind, didn't feel well."

Hyunjin seemed understanding of my answer, looking a little awkward as he lead us into the mini mart.

"D' you think he'll need medicine ?"

Chan asked me, looking over at the medicine isle.

Seungmin let out a small whimper as tears sprung to his eyes.

"Oh pup, Binnie just needs a little rest. Don't worry."

I reached my hand up to run my fingers through his hair, imagining his little puppy ears drooping sadly on his head.

"Come on Minnie, let's go get him something nice, like a stuffie so he can feel better faster."

Hyunjin said, an excited tone to his voice, he looked back at us after Seungmin ran ahead of him with an excited gleam in his eyes.

It seemed that he knew something was wrong, he looked back at us with a sad smile, mouthing the words,

'Just distracting him for a bit.'

He caught up to Seungmin, going through towards the isle that had multiple stuffed animal's.

I let out a sigh before turning to Chan who was looking over at the others with a fond look in his eyes.

"He always gets like this when Binnie doesn't feel well, good thing Hyunjin is distracting him."

I said, walking over to the medicine isle and picking out any of the medicine types that we may have run out of at home.

Chan hummed beside me, holding out a shopping basket he grabbed from the front without my knowledge.

"He's gonna get lots of cuddles when he gets back, and probably 3 to 5 stuffies depending on Seungmin's excitement to make him feel better."

As he said that, me and him walked out of the isle, only to turn and see Seungmin with 3 stuffies is his hands, Hyunjin right behind him with a sheepish smile.

Before Seungmin could run over in all his excitement, Chan and I grabbed the snacks Changbin asked for, covering up the boxes of medicine from Seungmin's line of sight.

"Hi pup, you ready to go ?"

Seungmin nodded rapidly, a grin on his face as he placed one of the stuffies into the basket, above Binnies snacks and awkwardly hidden medicine.

"Yup, yup, I'm gonna work hard to get Binnie back to himself again!"

He exclaimed cutely, almost like a promise.

How sweet

A smile came to my face and Chan looked over at me with a smirk, mouthing the word, 'whipped'.

I stuck my tongue out at him and he giggled calling out to Seungmin as the puppy like boy showed him the stuffies.

"Changbin'll love them, sweets."

Seungmin's eyes glossed over slightly, seemingly content and satisfied at Chan's words.

'Simp'

I simply mouthed the word, looking Chan straight in the eyes as I said it.

He glared playfully at me and I laughed lightly, catching the attention of Hyunjin as he was grabbing things he needed.

"D'you want any snacks, did you only bring enough money to buy stuff for Binnie, because I can buy your stuff if you don't have enough."

Hyunjin explained sweetly, and I couldn't help the smile that came to my face.

"Thanks hyung, I think we'll have enough but we'll tell you if we need anything, promise."

He nodded, a small smile coming to his face as he grabbed more stuff from the shelves.

I turned back around to see Chan had Seungmin in his lap, sitting on one of the little benches that were around the mini mart.

Seungmin had his back against Chan's chest, he had his head against Chan's neck, completely cuddled up to him.

They were both facing us, probably waiting for us to get done talking, ready to pay for everything.

"I just need to get a few more things and we can get in line, that is... unless you want to hurry home to Changbin, then you could go now."

I waved him off lightly at his words, taking in the sad look that his eyes held.

"I told Changbin that if he needed anything he could call, so if anything we'll rush over straight away, don't worry hyung, we'll tell you if anything is urgent."

Hyunjin looked unsure, but he nodded with a small sigh, going along to the back while me and the others followed.

"He's really worried about Binnie..."

I stated, my words nothing more than above a whisper.

Chan looked over at me, Seungmin clutched the stuffies to his chest as he looked down at the ground.

"I know he'll be okay, but Hyunjin worrying for him is making me worry."

I explained anxiously, they both looked at me in worry.

I'm never one to be anxious like this, I'm usually the one calming them down.

"D' you wanna call him ?"

Chan asked, bringing his hand up to rub against my back, trying to calm me, a light hum slipping past his lips as he questioned softly.

My breath hitched slightly as I tried to breath properly, my eyes avoiding both of theirs.

"M' not sure, I-I don't want to bother him if he's resting."

I explained in a hushed voice, and Chan hyung let out a hum of understanding, reaching into his pocket and getting his phone.

"Here, talk to him. I know you want to, don't let your mind stop you."

I nodded, letting a stuttered breath fall past my lips and I grabbed Chan's phone from his hands, swiping over the little phone button to get the speed dial contacts.

My thumb ghosted over Changbin's contact, his birth flower on each side of his contact name.

Before I could change my mind I pressed on the call button.

The phone was answered after the third ring, my breath getting caught in my throat as I brought the phone up to my ear.

"Hyung ?"

A gravelly voice answered and I smiled softly.

"It's not hyung, it's Innie."

I explained lightly, Chan and Seungmin cooed at me, little 'awww's slipping past their lips and my cheeks flushed.

"Oh, hey baby, is anything the matter ? Did something happen to Chan hyung for you to call me like this ?"

His voice was laced with concern and I heard a little bit of shuffling.

"M' no, no, nothing's wrong with Chan hyung, promise."

I heard him let out a sigh of relief and I looked over at Chan and Seungmin to see them with big grins on their faces.

"Oh, that's good, that's good, but why did you call ? Is something else the matter ? Hm, Innie ?"

His voice grew a little deeper at his last question and my heart fluttered.

"Was just worried about you is all."

I heard a bit more shuffling before I heard him let out a huff of air, a breathy laugh soon following.

"M' just fine love, there's no need to worry-"

His breath hitched on the other line and three distant sneezes were heard.

"Bless you, hyung."

I said in English and Chan squealed slightly at my use of it, his eyes sparkling as his dimples deepened as his smile grew.

"Thank you."

Changbin said softly, trying to catch his breath.

"You're welcome."

Changbin sniffled on the other side and I mouthed the word 'Tissue' to Chan hyung as Changbin let out a little whine.

"Sneezing sucks."

He stated, I couldn't help but let out a chuckle at his complaint, imagining his nose being bright pink and his cheeks flushed.

"Innie...?"

Changbin questioned with a short cough at the end, making me feel bad.

"Yeah Binnie, d' you need something ?"

He responded with a quiet 'yeah', a painful sounding clearing of the throat was heard before I could ask what it was he needed.

"Can you get me some cough drops, and some peppermint and chamomile tea, please ?"

The small please at the end made my heart ache, he must be feeling worse than I thought.

"Yeah, yeah of course I can do that love, Hyunjin's getting a few things but as soon as he's done we'll be on our way."

I explained, his response was only a scratchy, but understanding hum.

"We'll be home in just a bit okay, hold on tight."

The little 'okay' he let out as a reply had me wanting to rush back to him as soon as possible.

"I'll see you later, alright love ?"

He let out a shaky giggle, making a small kissing sound before he hung up the phone with an 'I love you'.

"So he's alright ?"

Chan asked, looking hopeful and I sighed, his enthusiasm deflated, before a look of slight worry came to his face.

"He asked me for some chamomile, and peppermint tea, and some cough drops, we could even get him some chocolate, I heard it helps colds."

Chan and Seungmin nodded and we all separated into different isle's of the store getting the things I said.

Then we headed to the back to find Hyunjin, agreeing to help him if he wasn't done grabbing the things he needed.

"Hyung, are you finished ?"

Hyunjin jumped as I touched his shoulder and I felt a slight spark hit the tips of my fingers.

"Ah-! Hyung- you shocked me- did you touch something that gave you static ?"

Hyunjin let out a light gasp, looking apologetically.

"M' sorry, you scared me. But, yeah...I-uh, I must've touched something that gave me static sorry again, is your hand alright ?"

I nodded letting him grab my hand to examine it closely.

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

Tears welled up in his eyes and I panicked, lifting up my hand which was somehow still stinging from the static to wipe his tears.

"It's fine hyung. It's okay, did you finish getting everything you needed ?"

I questioned after giving him some reassurance, feeling my hands tingle as I kept wiping at the still falling tears.

He let out a hum of conformation, and at that, I let my hands drop to my sides, knowing he'd be fine.

He soon brushed away his own tears, looking like he was still holding them in.

Chan hyung and Seungmin were watching us from a distance, not to far away, just enough to hear the interaction, having the fondest of looks in their eyes and they gave us thumbs up.

We all headed to the front of the store and as we got to the cashier, a shriek was heard as the door slid open to a man in a suit, drenched in rain.

His glasses were fogged up his hair stuck to his forhead, his suitcase held tightly in one hand and a frown was on his face.

"This rain came out of nowhere, the forecast said it was going to be sunny, what in the world is going on, the weather has been all out of wack ?!"

He exclaimed, looking like a tomato as he stomped over to the basket full of umbrellas.

Hyunjin's eyes once again filled with tears as he looked down at the ground.

Kkami let out a whine from inside Hyunjin's shopping cart, almost as if knowing something was wrong.

The man looked ticked off, quickly handing the boy at the register $5 dollars before walking back outside grumbling about the rain.

"Uh, I'm sorry about that, that almost never happens. It's a good thing I love the rain, you won't see me complaining like that any time soon."

Hyunjin seemed relieved and his tears were no longer there.

The rain became a soft drizzle, then as we checked out it came to a stop.

The weather these days is working in weird ways, hey that rhymed.

I let out a light giggle at my own thoughts, bringing smiles to the others faces.

"Now we can go make Binnie hyung feel better !"

Seungmin cheered excitedly, holding onto a few bags.

Everyone split the bags as evenly as they could, with Hyunjin also having to hold onto Kkami's leash, leading him along to our house, which he agreed to go to as Chan offered him a ride home, these were to many bags for one to carry home.
