Dongha splits off to find where you're all supposed to sit, and the rest of you go to greet Yohei. He looks to be judging the setup of the bar and swaps the places of several bottles.
"Been a while." He hums. "Need something?"
"I didn't know you guys were making the drinks here." You comment, watching the older male rummage through a few cabinets.
"You don't look too happy about it." is what Kanata contributes, eyeing the sodas in a cooler he can barely see over the counter.
"It's just a perfectionist thing. The worker guy made a real mess earlier." Yohei huffs, leaning to grab at the sodas.
"The...worker guy...?" Nayuta puts the pieces together. Yohei really just usurped some poor guy's job. The three of you nod along like it's normal.
"You guys want those sodas you always get? They've got fancy chilled cups, I'll just pour half and give you the soda bottles." He gets to work retrieving the glasses.
"We're sitting over here!" Dongha yells across the room. "With the inmate unit or whatever they're called ."
Humming, you take the first soda to be poured and sip at it. Dongha settles into a chair on his phone, after fidgeting and arranging the silverware and napkin into something nostalgic he thought would be more formal.
Yohei nods at you. "What's the kid want?"
Sparing a glance at the boy, you hum. "An iced tea is fine."
The twins wander off to find their seats, discovering they're a table over from you. Nayuta grins and announces they sit next to Akan Yatsura. Dongha rises to scope out the other tables and comes to discover his brother got to sit with the idols. That left GokuLuck with The Cats Whiskers.
The boy rounds the last table, reading the stage names listed. HANCHO, Kotonoha, God Summer, Nanashi, which he recognizes as Ando, and...
"Who the actual fuck is Compla Daimao- wha-!?" Dongha is cut off before he can finish, and when you peek over you realize why almost immediately.
Collapsed on his stomach against the ground is Dongha, crushed beneath a familiar figure. The flash of white that Kanata failed to find moments ago. Ryu Natsume perches on top of the boy, similarly to a cat that's caught its prey. He lets out a boisterous laugh.
"Whahaha! Caught ya!" His mischievous laugh echoes as he brings bony fingers (in more ways than one, considering the bracelet-ring-thing he wears) down to poke and prod at Dongha's sides.
The boy yelps, likely ticklish, and Yohei scowls. "Get off the fucking kid Ryu."
Tuning his mentor out, Ryu continues to forcefully pass his giggles onto the blonde. Kanata grimaces and takes the young Yeon's drink off your hands as you take your time walking over to the two. The poor boy still tries kicking and pushing his attacker despite being terribly breathless from involuntary laughs he'll swear didn't happen later.
Once close enough, you tap your knuckles on the back of Ryu's head. "Knock, knock."
He stops, sits up a little, and then tilts his head back to look up at you from his spot on the floor. The grin that stretches out on his face makes you return it with one of your own.
