Chan, Woojin and Minho strolled leisurely around the park, watching the younger members with amusement as they ran around excitedly. Jeongin, Hyunjin and Jisung were busy feeding a squirrel while Seungmin and Felix were playing with another further up the path.
"This is really relaxing," Woojin sighed contentedly as they walked.
"Yeah, it is." Minho agreed, "It feels great not to worry about debuting or training."
"Yeah, now all that's on my mind is where we're going next." Chan said dryly.
Jisung ran up to them. "He's so cute!" he gushed, cupping a baby squirrel in his hands, his thumbs stroking the squirrel's ears. "See, hyungs?"
"Yes, I see, Jisung." Woojin said fondly. "Can you gather the others up? We have to get going to our next stop."
"Aww, okay." Jisung ran off to round up the other members. He yelled at Seungmin and Felix to come over and raced to where Jeongin and Hyunjin were chatting to a park attendant.
With a wistful pat on the squirrel's head, Jisung returned him to the park attendant and hurried Jeongin and Hyunjin over to them as Felix and Seungmin came back.
"Who's hungry?" Woojin asked with a grin.
"Are you kidding me, hyung?" Seungmin asked in disbelief. "Are you still hungry?"
"I am." Hyunjin laughed. "Come on, Seungmin-ah, we've been here for 2-3 hours."
"It's been that long?!" Jeongin gasped in disbelief.
"Yep. And anyway, the fresh air made me hungry." Hyunjin looked eagerly at Minho and Woojin. "Where's the food?"
Minho laughed and rubbed Hyunjin's head. "We're going there."
"I bet our Chris is hungry?" Woojin took Jisung's arm.
"Oh, yes, I am. I'm actually really craving some Australian food." Chan said to Felix.
"Oh me too!"
"You miss it like hell, yeah?"
"Yeah, I just-"
"What's Australia like?" Seungmin butted in curiously. "I've never been there before."
"Oh, it's really great!" Chan said in English, knowing that Seungmin would understand, "It's really sunny and warm and bright and when it's cold, it feels like the whole city is enveloped in aircon."
"Australia has really amazing food!" Felix chimed in enthusiastically. "It's got…"
"I wanna go to Australia one day!" Jeongin declared after listening wide-eyed and open-mouthed to Chan and Felix's account, which may, if Chan admitted it, have been a little exaggerated.
"We'll go there as a team one day." Chan promised. "I'd really love to show you all round my favourite places."
"Ooh, yes, I'd love that!" Minho cut in. "But for now, how about you settle for this, yeah?"
They were standing outside a restaurant with a bright, flashing neon sign. The restaurant was covered with disco lights and it stood out even in the bright sunlight.
"Oh wow!" Felix hopped up and down. "Thanks so much, hyungs!"
"You're welcome, lix." Woojin ruffled his hair. "Order whatever you want."
"This is your choice, Felix?" Chan asked, glancing at the brightly-lit restaurant.
"Yeah! You'll see; it's great!"
Chan looked around at the room filled with bright lights and loud music blasting through the air. The place was heavily decorated; there were big plants and the corners were sprinkled with sand. Brightly-coloured balloons bobbed up and down and the place was crammed. It looked like a typical Felix place.
Minho tapped the shoulder of a passing waiter. "Reservation for nine, under Mr Lee."
"Oh yes, sir." The waiter guided them to a booth at the back of the restaurant, near the bar.
Chan glanced at the menu. There were several of his favourites there; hamburgers, fish and chips, lamb leg roast, shepherd's pie, etc. etc. He grinned over the menu at Felix, who was sitting next to him.
As Felix beamed back, Chan felt a tug on his sleeve and turned to see Jeongin frowning at the menu. "What is shepherd's pie?"
"Oh, it's a meat pie topped with mashed potato. It tastes great." Chan responded enthusiastically.
"Oh, okay," Jeongin wrinkled his nose at the menu. "I think I want fish and chips though."
"What is this place?" Changbin quizzed Woojin.
"Stop asking me." Woojin swatted at Changbin like one would a fly.
Chan clapped Felix on the back as they entered a mall. "That restaurant was great, lix. It actually made me nostalgic for my mum's shepherd pie."
"I know right?" Felix seemed a lot chirpier than Chan had ever seen him, smiling happily as they rode up the escalator. "I actually think-"
"Oh my gosh, I haven't been here in so long! I love this place!" Seungmin's excited voice broke out.
They stood in front of an album shop which was blasting music through the mall. Through the glass doors, Chan could see rows upon rows of albums stacked neatly and a few people milling about.
"Minho and I clubbed together and we managed to get you enough money to buy an album," Woojin beamed proudly.
Seungmin looked speechless as Minho dropped the money into his hands. "H-hyungs-"
"Get yourself a treat, Seungminnie," Woojin and Minho looked very pleased with themselves and at the delighted expression on Seungmin's face.
"B-but how did you manage to get enough money?" Seungmin sorted through the coins with a look of disbelief. Woojin's parents were stingy with giving him allowance and Minho's hadn't sent his monthly allowance yet, so he was having to subsist on last month's allowance.
"We'll manage next week," Woojin said with a smile.
"But you've already spent so much on this outing!"
"Don't act all honourable, Minnie, just buy your album." Minho rolled his eyes.
Grinning, Seungmin entered the shop. The rest of the members followed.
"Did you spend money on me too?" Hyunjin asked jokingly.
"Yours was one of the only ones that we didn't spend money on." Minho said with a straight face.
The members laughed and entered the shop as Hyunjin pouted.
