The dinner started normally, but it took less than ten minutes for chaos to break loose at their table. Zachruelle’s Heeseung kept trying to explain something serious, but Mistlesoir’s Heeseung kept interrupting with jokes and stealing the side dishes right off his plate. Vermillion’s Heeseung pretended to be calm at first, but snapped the moment someone took his fries, suddenly all three were arguing, laughing, talking over each other, and threatening to switch seats like it would fix anything. They clinked glasses too loudly, mixed sauces that definitely shouldn’t be mixed, and turned the calm restaurant into their own loud universe. At one point the waiter walked by, stared at them for two seconds, and mentally accepted that peace just wasn’t happening at that table.

By the end, they were full, loud, and absolutely done arguing, but still eating each other’s leftovers.
