he'd thought he'd been hiding everything well enough, keeping the smile on his face and making jokes here and there. it wasn't anything serious that was bothering him, not really, just silly little naggings inside of his brain that was eating away at him. same stuff, different day, he supposed. sunghoon was thankful that either his members didn't notice or didn't push him to talk about it, and he was able to get through most of his day without being pressured to talk about what was eating him away on the inside.
but when he had gathered with some of his friends for a little meal get together, he was squished between bitna and kyungah while the kalguksu breathed warm steam into his face. bitna was distracted talking to another member of their little party, but kyungah was beside him and didn't have anyone else to distract her. sunghoon had been poking at his noodles for a moment, making it look like he was trying to find a specific piece of food in the broth, but really he was lost in his mind until his friends voice cut through.
"you're crazy, noona." he shook his head, looking around to see if any of the others were listening in, and thankfully they weren't. "i'm just thinking about more chicken." sunghoon lied easily enough, giving kyungah a smile as he realized now was the time to act like he was focused on eating again, taking a bite of his noodles.
