The Convenience Store In Australia

"Do you guys need anything from the store across the street? Dawa and I are going." Hobi asked, he already had his mask around his face. They were currently at a cheap clothing store because Jungkook forgot to pack extra socks and underwear. 

Do-Hwan walked right behind Dawa. "Did you really think you were gonna go somewhere without me?" Do-Hwan questioned as he raised his eyebrow. 

"But we're just across the street, hyung." Hobi pouted. Dawa really wanted to pinch his cheeks but he held himself back. Mainly because he was slightly too far and was too lazy to move closer. 

"Sorry dude, it's Sae-Jun's orders that I follow you even if you jump off a cliff." He gave a cheeky smile and walked away. 

They were in the residential area of Sydney, Australia. The streets were smaller. They had traveled about an hour to find someplace that wasn't so crowded so they wouldn't be at risk of getting recognized. Plus the boys wanted take a look around the city. So they made many stops on the way. They were going to leave later tonight so they wanted to spend as much time as they could being a tourist. 

Jungkook's eyes were going back and forth as he listened in on the conversation. "Well...I would like some chips. Can you also get me some milk?"

"I want tiger tail ice cream!" Taehyung shouted from across the store. 

"A what? Tae, is that even a real flavor?" Do-Hwan shouted, giving Taehyung a judgy look which had potential to be a meme if it went public. 

Hobi was heading out the door. He was wearing black sweatpants and a white tee. He had a necklace with a smiley face. He looked pretty casual except for the fact that he was wearing a mask. Dawa was wearing a black bomber jacket, a graphic black tee and black jeans. He did not have a mask on and as he walked out lightly tugging Do-Hwan, his face rested, he looked like a stereotypical bad boy. 

"Hyung, I saw it on the poster of a store front earlier. It's a orange cream flavor with black licorice. I'll ask the store worker for one." Dawa answered while crossing the street. Hobi was now alongside them. As soon as they pulled the door open, a frustrated looking man with curly blonde hair walked out, mumbling to himself as he did, almost shoving the three our of the way. 

"Oh, sorry mate." He hurriedly apologized, still in a grumpy tone. First step into the store and the three could hear a broken voice ranting. An ugly cry in between and a crash. 

After a few seconds, Hobi walked a bit more into the store, "we should see if they're ok-" He turned to his right to only find Do-Hwan. Dawa had already gone ahead. 

"Aish, why is he like this?" Hobi mumbled. Do-Hwan was now walking towards the check out section where the chashier usually waits. There they saw a women sitting on the floor, hair like gold, crying large tear drops, holding her belly as she sniffled. She looked like a modern, older and very pregnant version of Rupunzel. Dawa was on one knee tying her shoes. 

She looked up at Hobi and Do-Hwan, her cheeks flushing a deeper red. She looked away, not meeting their gaze. Dawa noticed and gave her a rare smile, Hobi stared at him, unsure of how to feel about the fact that Dawa just gave a total stranger a smile at their first meeting. Was he jealous? Maybe.

"These are my friends. We're from Korea." Dawa introduced, helping her up. 

"Oh, welcome to Sydney. S-Sorry you had to see me like that. Let me clean up all this rubbi-" 

Dawa put her hand gently on her shoulder and led her to what he assumed was her seat that she sat on when she had no customers. "No, we'll do it. You should rest, too much stress is not good for the baby." He explained. They just had to pick up the boxes that had fallen over which seemed to contain more products for the store.
