⠀➷ shopping.

@✧ ┆ z. yixing. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵒˢᵉ Jaewook waits to hear Yixing’s response, his sharp spheres eyeing the tissue boxes that the latter grabbed, glancing to the list to see if they were on it. Even if they weren’t, they were still a good catch on Yixing’s part.
“Agreed, I think that would be for the best too.” Jaewook chimes, glancing back to the list. “So, first aid kits. We should get premade ones and then add in a few more packages of other essential items that go into those kits. “I believe that stuff will be near the pharmacy side of the building. So~ let’s head over there now.” He places his phone in his pocket and turns his cart to the right, slowly striding down the walkway, waiting for Yixing.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ *coos and rolls his eyes lightly*
You’re so smitten, it’s adorable.
Oh, yes we could do that too!
Just grab what we can and we should be good then!

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ Please, I'm so madly in love with him, I couldn't even accidentally step on his toe.
Id hurt myself before I let myself hurt him.
*Happily makes my way over to where they have blankets*
Maybe a couple of extra big ones for people to share?

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ I like Matty a lot too, I’m glad you two have each other.
You better not hurt him now
*he teases lightly, with a small snicker as he follows beside you m. laughing a bit at your reaction of the socks helping you put a few in the cart*
Nothing in particular, I think? We can get some blankets too though. I already have a big supply in my lodge but could use more always.

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ We absolutely would say something. I know Matt cares a lot, he wouldn't let you get hurt. Neither would I.
*Grins proudly and leads you to where the water is, stacking a couple cases on the bottom of the cart then putting some jugs in the cart*
Socks~!
*Hurries over to where I see fuzzy socks on display, filling up the cart with plenty of them*
Do you need anything in particular for you and intak?

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ That's kind of you... I do trust that if someone wasn't good for me, that you'd guys say something.
*he chuckles lightly, nodding lightly as you pat his shoulder*
Sounds good to me.
I'll let you lead the way, you seem to be doing that in a way anyway heh

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ Your opinion is the only one that matters when it comes your relationships, honestly. I'm going to support you as long as you're happy.
But for what it's worth, he has my approval as long as you two are truly happy together. And you treat each other right.
*Pats your shoulder gently*
Lets go get those fuzzy socks and some water and we should be good to go

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ Oh, yeah. I remember that.
*he sighs and looks at you for a moment, trying to decide how to answer your question, before slowly nodding his head*
He does, I... I thought it was cute that he asked for approval but he already has mine... and it's not that I don't care about the opinions of you guys but mine should matter too... right?
Though my last situationship wasn't good, he's better than that.
*he's mindlessly looking at items now, before his attention is brought back to reality before he nods*
Right, okay, I think we got plenty? Now just... the other basics right? We're gonna have a full cart, that's for sure.

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ Ah I see. I know Matt wasn't happy because he didn't get "approved" of yet to be with you. I know that's his way of showing concern and care for your happiness.
*Looks at you and smiles*
Does he make you happy? Does he treat you right?
*Hums softly and nods*
Definitely should freeze. Lets get one of those vacuum sealers just in case...
*Grabs one off the shelf when I see it*

@✦ ┆ l. jaewook. ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏ ᵐᵃᵐᵇᵃ Yixing hums softly in response, his attention momentarily taken by the items on the shelves, one hand reaching to grab a couple of boxes of tissues before he meets Jaewook's gaze. "Sounds good to me. We could scan one side of the aisle each so we don't miss anything? He moves closer to put the items in the basket, glancing back around in case he'd forgotten anything and then grabs one more box for good measure. "Essential items first and then, we can always loop back around the shop for the other items."

@✧ ┆ z. yixing. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵒˢᵉ Jaewook steps into the store, pushing a cart while opening his phone’s notes to view the list. He is sure not to walk too far ahead of Yixing as they’d need to gather these materials together.
“Where should we start? It’s kind of a lot, maybe the items that are in high demand? This will guarantee that we get what we need. Does that sound good?” He lifts his sharp gaze from his phone, looking for Xing’s eyes.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ He’s busy a lot… so when he does have time it seems everyone else is busy instead.
*he explains as they walk through the store, helping you pick some of them out and grabbing some extra that can be saved for a bit if needed*
I think we should just stock up as much as we can, freeze some while it’s not being used?

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ Oh yeah...that makes total sense.
Hey how come I never see him around hm??
Is he hiding from us??
*Eyes you playfully*
Perfect.
Lets head to the meat section.
*Pushes the cart towards the meat area, picking out a variety of meats*

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ I-?
*he starts to question but stops himself clearing his throat, shaking his head*
Intak's been scenting me a lot lately, it's probably that.
*he can't help the way his face turns a little red, turning to hide it as he grabbed a few more items, he doesn't know what or if they already have it, and throws it in the cart*
Big brain huh?
*he rolls his eyes a bit, moving to push the cart to their next destination of the store*
that's a good idea, actually.
once we finish the groceries we can go get those

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ You smell different.
*Grumbles a little, though I chalk it up to your lovers scent, which I'm not used to. Grins widely at your words*
I might be the baby but I got a big brain.
*Taps my head*
We'll make sure to buy plenty fuzzy socks in case anyone else needs them too.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ *tilts away from you squinting when you sniff him, brushing over his hair with his hand as if to fix it*
what are you doing?
*he questions, but brushes it aside before continuing picking fruits out with you*
Oh, those are good ideas. Sometimes I'd forget you're the maknae with how prepared you could be.
*he hums lightly in a teasing tone*

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ *leans over, casually sniffing your hair, brow furrowing a little*
I dunno...
*Mumbles but then focuses on the fruits now. Grabs some strawberries, mangoes, bananas and blueberries*
Well do it now then. I just wanna make sure he has some fuzzy socks, a big fluffy blanket that both of us can fit in, a beanie, some gloves, maybe some of those thermal underwear.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ I'm not gonna get sick, I'll be fine
* he comments lightly putting a few items in the cart you brought*
Oh? That's a god idea too.
*he shrugs lightly, as he goes to grab some tomatoes, picking a few out and putting the in the produce bags*
I don't mind us doing it now, tackle everything all at once while we are here.
I can get a few things for him too.. I'm not sure what to get, but I'll figure it out.

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ I'll be fine. I just don't want you getting sick.
*Pats your back gently then looks over the options as I listen to you, picking some carrots*
I also wanna stop and prepare for matt. I don't want him to worry about anything during the storm.
*Looks over at you*
I can do that on my own time though. Unless you want to prep for your partner too.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ *squints at you curiously tilting his head as you wrap the scarf around him, but doesn't fight it, too preoccupied with trying to think of the preperations*
aren't you going to get cold then?
I think so, yixing said he would get some coolers and stuff so we can keep what we can in them, and i'm sure we will figure things out.
*he begins grabbing the main essential produce options offered, examining his options*

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ You're cold?
*Takes my scarf and wraps it around you carefully before continuing on*
Everything?
That would certainly give options for the guests.
Are we going to be able to store anything that's left over?
We should stock up the most on canned goods that don't need to be refrigerated...just in case power goes out.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ *scrunches his nose lightly when you boop it, shrugging his shoulders in unison*
it's cold of course.
*nods his head, following beside you, leading you guys to the produce*
what if we just got everything? it wouldn't be too bad... right?

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ Why you sniffling? Hm?
*Asks curiously, booping your nose before following you along to the store. Grabs a shopping cart and pushes it along, looking around*
Wanna hit the produce first?

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ sniffles lightly and nods
i, once again, am not as prepared for this as i thought. everythings been thrown at me.
he grabs your arm and begins to lead the way a bit to one of the stores.
lets start with that then, we can grab different kinds of ingredients for them all.

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ Oh- okay.
Hmm. Well let's get stuff for salads, maybe some chicken, some steak, a variety of fruits and veggies.
Perhaps we can set up a buffet style thing where everyone can serve themselves what they like?
*Looks over at you curiously*

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ Uhm- to be honest.
looks at you with a exasperated face
now hear me out.
i didn't plan that far ahead, i thought we'd have time but i'm trying to think of something quick with extra things that can accommodate to everyone's diets..
they just... told me to do a dinner party to keep up spirits and here we are.

@₊ ✧ ┆ k. sunwoo. ᵛᵃˡᵃᶦˢ ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏⁿᵉᶜᵏ A lot of food. Got it.
Two weeks? Wow...
*Scrunches my nose*
What were we getting for the banquet?
Then from there we can get all the backup stuff as well. It might be good to consider getting water bottles and jugs of water. That way at least we can make sure everyone gets a bottle and it can be reused if needed with the jugs.

@✦ ┆ s. youngjae. ʳᵃᶜᶜᵒᵒⁿ after deciding who would be getting what, the group of people split up, and went on their own ways. making sure to bundle up warmly, and that you were ready to go, he lead the two of you the the grocery stores, pulling out the list
okay- so, we need to get... a lot of food. the snow storm is supposed to last two weeks.
