Minho grinned before opening his mouth to accept the piece of dried mango, happy not only because of the sweet taste, but also because Xion had given it. The idea of a mukbang channel made him laugh, as there was no way they could eat in such way, not even if they wanted it. They mostly had gotten snacks and ice cream, he supposed that eating that much once wouldn’t hurt. These were vacations anyway, they should eat and rest and spend time together. He had never been happier. “Would you like to eat that much? Like eating competitions, are those still a thing?” He had no idea, but he had seen a few videos every now and then.
In a perfect world, they wouldn’t have a third person in their shared tent, so perhaps them being in different ones was a good thing. He liked being in Jeju, it was a lot of fun, but he didn’t like sleeping without Xion. His fingers played with the other’s, and he couldn’t help but wonder if this was what true happiness felt like. Having everything he had ever wanted and knowing he wouldn’t lose it, it brought a peace to his mind he hadn’t known before. “I miss Peanut, I hope he doesn’t think we left him.”
xion thought about minho’s question. he remembered being seven and watching a video of a hot dog eating competition on the television with his sister. he had been thoroughly disgusted. he hadn’t been able to eat hot dogs without feeling sick for weeks afterward. it wasn’t much of a problem because his mom’s thought hot dog’s was the devil’s food, but it was a problem when his neighbor tried feeding him while babysitting and ended up with a gagging xion at her dinner table. “maybe not a competition. those require speed right? i like to be able to savor the food.” he ate another piece of dried mango. “i think we’d be a successful mukbang channel. people like to see pretty people eat and there’s no one prettier than us. what do you think, minnie?”
he squeezed minho’s fingers, smiling brightly at the younger idol. he tilted his head to the side to think about peanut. he had left peanut in subin hyung’s trustworthy hands for the trip, and he kept sending pictures for subin hyung to show peanut. he had given peanut a firm reminder that xion was definitely coming back and to be nice to uncle subin and not to chew anymore wires, and it did seem like the message stuck. “i miss him too. he always knows we come back though! i can feel it. subin hyung sent me pictures of him today for an update, do you want to see?”
