Daehyun, being a mortal man by nature, was not sure how it felt to have one’s soul slipping away, but it had to be what he felt now. Cold shouldered, he felt his shoulders cave in, legs become lead, standing dejected and stiff. How could it have come to this? He could almost hear his own neck creak as he slowly turned to give the puppy-dog eyes to Amelia. Did you see that, boss? Did you see that harsh cruelty he was met with?
“Milk?” He asked, joylessly. Forcing himself into gear, moving from shocked to miffed, Daehyun jumped back into playing it cool with fixing his already-fixed buttons. It was Minkyu’s turn to lose his cool anyway, over the lack of milk. Something brought a vague smile to his face, but whatever it was, Daehyun remained silent about it.
Did they need a map?
“No—Yep.”
Didn’t matter, Mari and himself were getting one, it seemed! He took the speedy seconds that Amelia took to plot their destination to turn to Mari, smile plastered on. He didn’t know much about her, but she was a cutie pie! Young, he guessed, and it seemed as though it took her a while to warm up. Mid-teens, he assumed, must have been quite rough on someone. Especially if they needed a job.
“Hey, pleased to meet you. I’m Daehyun, but you know that anyway.”
A hand offered itself to the young, saffron-dressed lass, with a complimentary wink and grin. She certainly suited the colour she wore, he’d give her that! Leaning in to hear what Amelia had to say, his grin slowly morphed into a smile, then a slightly neutral flat-line.
“…I’m an easy-going guy, aren’t I?”
The worst part was, he seemed to believe every-word of that, and look genuinely confused that someone would have to tell him to calm down. How nice it must have been, to live in his bubble… Anyway! Clapping his hands in that totally-easy-going-loud-as-heck way, he cheerfully motioned for Mari to take the map with a spare hand, and marched towards the door, holding it open for the little lass.
“C’mon! We gotta do this for Minkyu, you’re in charge of the map, Mari! Say..." His voice trailed off, eyes glimpsing around to make sure no one was rudely listening in. Lowering his head, he waited for her to get closer before whispering;
"You had breakfast yet?"
