leo/any, would you like fries with that

i'm in the ocean of light

"This is the third time this week, Taekwoon hyung." Jaehwan sighed. "I know it's not exactly ideal, but Wonshik's on leave, and neither Hongbin nor Sanghyuk can do a double-shift. You can't keep scaring our customers away."

Taekwoon merely sat on his chair, face impassive before he nodded. Jaehwan reached out to pat his friend on the shoulder, sighing in relief.

"Would you like any fries with that?" Hakyeon nodded approvingly, smiling.

"Yes, please." An awkward pause followed that before Taekwoon realized that he was supposed to get Hakyeon's order, fumbling a little as he typed the order in the system. How was he going to survive this--
