“Wonwoo! Mingyu! Over here!”

They heard their names as their heads turned to the direction of their names being called, and was greeted by a large gum smile visible from a distance away. Heading over to the table, they were greeted by another five more faces, some which Mingyu recognised instantly.

“Hyung! You have finally decided to come out for dinner,” Chan greeted Mingyu with a mouthful of food before flashing a grin, “At least Wonwoo hyung will stop complaining about you being an utter pai-mhmph--”

“That’s enough- Don’t speak while eating, Chan,” Wonwoo slapped a hand over Chan’s mouth and chided the younger lightly before setting his tray of food on the table beside him.

Just when Mingyu was about to ask the other three unfamiliar faces seat by the end of the table another voice cut cut across the table, “Why did no one tell me this is spicy?”

Soonyoung fanned himself vigorously as he took hold of the drink offered to him by a curly haired male seated beside him, gulping it down quickly.

“We did but you were all over how good the chicken looks when we tried pointing it out, hyung,” Chan pointed out as he handed the older a tissue which Soonyoung used to wipe off the sweat gathering on his temple.

“You could have restrained me or something!” Soonyoung whined as he fanned himself with his hands, attempting to cool down.

“Not like we didn't,” Seokmin rebutted, “And let me quote, ahem- Someone said that It’s ‘probably not as spicy as the description says’ when it was clearly stated ‘This chicken has been made with chilli five times spicier than the usual chilli’.”

“Fine, fine, my fault, it’s my fault! BUT! It’s still spicy… My tongue feels like it’s dying- Someone save me,” Soonyoung complained as he puffed out his cheeks, clearly not too happy about being on the losing end of the argument.

“I thought it was alright though...” The brunette seated opposite of the curly haired male commented as he popped another chicken into his mouth.

“Junhui, you live off spicy food, not me, same goes for Minghao and Mingming, all these people who like spicy food stop staring at me like that, I find it spicy alright?” Soonyoung lamented this as he took hold of Seokmin’s drink and began gulping it down and the younger simply stared at the older with a kicked expression.

“Ju-just let me get rid of the spiciness and I’ll get you another drink,” That seemed to be enough for Seokmin to turn back to his food.

“Might as well get Seungkwan to chill you tongue,” Seokmin suggested through a mouthful of rice.
