Donghyuck watched Jeno walk through the door to go comfort Jaemin and sighed, looking at the boys who were now all sitting on the couch. Renjun had turned to watch Jeno go, a small frown on his face, and Donghyuck could tell that he wanted to go too, wanted to go with Jeno to comfort Jaemin. 

"Hey, guys," He called, successfully gaining their attention. "Wanna go to the store with me?" He asked. Jisung stood up from where he had sat on the couch with a gasp.

"You mean the 7-Eleven down the street!? With the cute cashier guy?!" The youngest said excitedly, jumping up and down a bit. Donghyuck put up his hands in surrender.

"Yes, the 7-Eleven down the street.." He muttered, raising a brow. "And what cute guy? Last time I was there it was some slutty girl from uptown." Jisung let out a chuckle as he walked towards the door.

"Well, it's a cute guy now so, we should go cuz I bet you two would click really well. You might even like him." Jisung said hurriedly, pulling Chenle up from the couch, the boy shoving his switch into his hoodie pocket after he paused it.

"He can't be that great. Just cause someones hot doesn't mean that they're cool or nice.." He said grumpily as he was dragged to the door. Jisung just laughed and whispered something to Chenle that seemed to shut him up, making Renjun roll his eyes as he followed them. Donghyuck sighed and shook his head before following them all out the door and to the old parking lot.

Chenle got in the car quickly and pulled back out his switch, Renjun getting in the passenger seat. Jisung pointed at the other car, the new one from the race.

"Is that the car?!" He exclaimed. Donghyuck chuckled and ruffled the youngers hair.

"Yep. Now come on, we need to go get some lollipops for the homie." Jisung nodded and scurried off to the other side of the car, hopping in the back and buckling up before watching over Chenle's shoulder as he played his game. Donghyuck got in the driver's seat and sighed at the familiarity of his car.

"I'm back baby.." He whispered to the car.

Yea, he really did just whisper to the car and call it his baby.

Anyways,

The drive to the 7-Eleven didn't take long, maybe two minutes. They could've walked but they took the car in case they needed to book it from something bad.

Like the police.

They entered the shop, listening as the familiar ding sounded around the store. Donghyuck sighed.

"Okay, how much are we working with.." He said before opening the bag of money from the race. His eyes widened at the sight. "Oh my Lord..." Renjun raised a brow.

"What?" Donghyuck pulled out a handful of the money, showing they every bill in the bag was worth 100.

"We aren't on a budget guys." He said with a wide smile as he shoved the money back in the bag. "Raid the fuck out of this place." He said excitedly. Renjun shook his head with a smile before walking into the convenience store further. Jisung dragged Chenle off in another direction and Donghyuck headed further in as well, a satisfied chuckle leaving his lips.

Renjun walked down the aisles, grabbing various snacks for himself, Jeno, and Jaemin. He got some sandwiches for them as well since he knew the other three probably wouldn't think about that and got two giant bags of Dum Dums for Jaemin. He also got himself an energy drink and a bottle of Fireball, as well as a six-pack of Heineken. He went back to the front and set everything on the counter, huffing as he did.

For the first time, he looked at the cashier, understanding what Jisung meant. He had soft-looking black hair, his eyes a soft brown. He was wearing a black leather jacket, with a white graphic tee underneath. He was busy talking with Donghyuck who had gotten to the counter moments before him, and Renjun couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Whether he felt it towards Donghyuck, or the cashier though, he wasn't sure.

"Hi! My names Donghyuck." He introduced, offering a hand. The boy looked dazed, shaking his head and smiling gently as he took the others hand.

"I- uh I'm Mark. Mark Lee." He said as he began to ring up the items. Renjun put up his items as well with Hyuck's, standing beside the younger with his lips pressed together as Mark rang up their items. Donghyuck handed him his ID for the liquor.

"Can I also get a pack of those Marlboro's?" He asked, pointing at a pack of cigarettes behind the counter. Mark nodded and rung up the pack.

"Got a rough home life?" He asked as he rung everything up. Donghyuck chuckled.

"Do you analyze all of your customer's items? Or just mine?" He asked playfully. Mark nodded with a smile, raising a brow as he finished scanning everything.

"What if I said only yours?" He asked with the tilt of his head, leaning over the counter a bit. Donghyuck's smile grew.

"Then I'd ask if there was a reason..?"

"And I'd say to that, it's cuz you're cute." Mark gave a smile, winking at Donghyuck before opening his palm.
"Your total is-"

"Not yet. we're waiting for two more." Renjun explained, making the older look at him with surprise. He gave another charming smile and nodded, leaning back and standing up straight, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You two single?" He asked.

"Wow. Straight to the point." Donghyuck remarked, his brows raised while Renjun turned red. "I like it." Mark chuckled. "And to answer your question, yeah, we're single." He said. Mark nodded.

"I see..."

"Donghyuck! Renjun! look what I found!!" The called boys turned to see Chenle running towards them, holding a small cartridge in his hand. "It's Sonic 2 for the Sega Genesis!! Can I get it? Please." He whined. Donghyuck rubbed the nape of his neck and sighed.

"Sure. I don't see why not.." Chenle's eyes lit up and he placed the game on the counter. Jisung was the last to join them, dumping bags of chips and various other savory snacks onto the counter, as well as some candy that they figured he and Chenle had picked out. Mark finished scanning the items in silence, the only sound being the noises coming from Chenle's switch as he played his game. Mark sighed as he finished bagging everything and was opening his mouth to tell them their total when Hyuck set 3 of the $100 bills onto the counter, all the boys grabbing bags. Donghyuck gave him a sweet smile and winked.

"Keep the change for yourself. See you around, bad boy." He said as the four boys began to walk out of the store, leaving a surprised Mark as they went.

"I told you he was cute." Jisung remarked as they put everything in the car and buckled up, Donghyuck pulling out of the parking spot. Renjun nodded.

"I guess he was pretty cute.." He muttered as they drove back down the street.

They entered the old dance studio quietly, noticing Jaemin asleep on the couch with Jeno running his fingers through the youngers hair. He smiled at them as they entered, watching them set the bags down and begin unloading things around the place. Donghyuck got one of the cotton-candy-flavored lollipops from the bag before dumping the rest in the bowl and walking over to the couch. He crouched down to be eye level with the sleeping Jaemin, unwrapping the lollipop with a smile.

"Our Jaeminie is so cute when he sleeps.." Donghyuck remarked to Jeno who hummed. The younger of the two stuck the lollipop in Jaemin's slightly parted lips, watching as they immediately closed around the sweet candy. His eyes opened slowly and he sighed when he saw Donghyuck smiling at him. "G'morning sleeping beauty." Jaemin groaned.

"Shut up." He whined as he rolled over, forgetting that he would just get a face-full of Jeno's crotch. He squeaked and sat up quickly when the realization hit his brain, causing Donghyuck to laugh loudly at the two blushing boys, Jeno somehow blushing more than the youngest.

"Alright, you gay fools. Get up. We're going to the park cuz I got sandwiches and shit for us. Let's go yeah?" He remarked as he began throwing the things he wanted to take into one of the plastic bags. Jaemin's embarrassment turned to a playfully smirk as he placed a hand on Jeno's thigh, moving it dangerously close to the olders apparent bulge.

"Yeah, let's go." He remarked, letting his hand stay on the olders thigh for a second longer before standing up and walking away. Jeno swallowed thickly and doubled over, burying his head in his hands.

"Fuck you Na Jaemin.." He muttered as he mentally prepared to eat dinner at the park with a hard-on.
