"I'm hungry." I babbled while crossing a busy road together with Seanyung, Bomyu and Paikek. My smile shined by the charm of the fantastic sunshiny Saturday in the metropolis of Kawaakari. The brightness of the sun was bringing joy and peace to everyone walking through the crowded streets.
"Right, Karu! Let's have hamburgers. I am hungry too." Paikek lively chirped, revealing his crystal white teeth.
"Yes! You need to get a hamburger!" Bomyu put his arm around Paikek's shoulders, who was wearing a yellow sweatshirt on black jeans.
"Ja!!! Hamburgers!" Paikek burst in Dutch, and he started bouncing to the hamburger shop.
"Yummy yummy!" Bomyu laughed as we keep stepping towards the hamburger shop.
We didn't get to eat hamburgers in a famous hamburger shop before, so it was an exciting moment for us.
As we got closer to the place, I sensed the scent of the phenomenal hamburger, which was profoundly delicious, and it made me feel like I have never eaten for days.
"Should we go in?" I asked when we reached the front door of the shop, coloured in red and yellow.
"Yeah!" Seanyung put his headphones into the pockets of his purple jacket and smiled.
While Paikek was smiling and looking at the front door, I pushed the door quickly, but it didn't even move.
I sighed tensely because the hamburger shop could be closed, and this could be the end of our dream.
"Pull it!"
"Pull it, Karu!" Paikek held the door handle and helped me to pull it open. "The door is hard to open because it's a good burger place." Bomyu guffawed while we entered the hamburger shop where everyone was eating burgers like the monsters in the children's books.
We couldn't find a place to sit, and it was too crowded inside. However, a waitress helped us to make a table of four out of single tables.
"Wow! The menu is huge!" Bomyu fascinated by the diversity of the burgers in the place. He was sitting next to me, and Paikek and Seanyung were sitting on the other side of the table.
"I want to get a bacon cheeseburger!" Seanyung declared with a happy simper on his face.
A bacon cheeseburger sounded like an excellent choice, so I responded: "Me too."
"Bacon Cheeseburger!" Paikek chirped.
"What about you, Bomyu?" Bomyu was the only one who didn't speak about his choice, so I asked him.
"The bacon cheeseburger!" He smiled and nodded.
"Okay, four bacon cheeseburgers," I repeated and added, "You guys are having fries, right?"
"Of course!" Paikek beamed.
"If we order two large fries, that would be enough for four of us." Seanyung calculated while he made a "v" shape by his fingers.
"I want to have a coke too!" interrupted Paikek.
"Bomyu and I want to get two banana milkshakes," Seanyung stated.
"Okay now we know what we're ordering, but we don't know who's gonna order." Paikek added while he had a friendly smile on his face.
"We should play a magic game to find out who!" he continued.
"I don't know most of your games!" Bomyu huffed.
"It's going to be an easy one, don't worry, right!" Paikek put a card onto the table which had blank sides, and he continued "All of us should touch the card at the same time. The one whose eyes flash yellow will be the one to order the burgers!"
"I get it!" Seanyung gazed at the blank card and four of us put our index fingers on it.
We shut our eyes, allowing some time for the card to choose. Once we opened our eyes, I noticed that the other boys still had the same eye colours as before, there was no change. However, they were all staring at me while their mouths curled up.
It didn't take too long for me to realise that the eyes which flashed yellow were mine.
"Alright guys, I will order." I smiled back at them.
"Do you memorise everything?" Bomyu chuckled while asking.
"Yeah, I memorise everything."
"That's our Karu!" Paikek patted my back and grinned.
Subsequently, I stepped towards the queue to make the order. A couple of minutes later, the cashier asked me; "Hello, can I have your order?"
"Hmm... I want to order..." At first, I faltered but then continued: "Three bacon cheeseburger, two large size french fries, one coke and two banana milkshakes please."
"Anything else?"
"No thanks." after completing the order, I went back to our table while my friends were in the middle of a peculiar discussion.
"Maybe because I slept too much, my eyelids feel weird." Bomyu imparted as he pointed his eyelids.
Instantly, Paikek looked in my eyes, expecting me to react, so I responded; "Well, they look fine."
"I'm gonna check my face." Bomyu grabbed his phone and looked at his selfie camera. He adjusted his dark-brown fringe, and his mouth slightly curled up as he gazed into his phone.
"I am so hungry guys." Paikek whined repeatedly.
We waited for a little longer till the time for our burgers to come.
"Number 25?"
"That's us!" I checked the receipt which had the same number on it. I moved and picked up our meals, and finally, we were ready to eat the delightful looking bacon cheeseburgers.
"Look at this! This is amazing!" Paikek was so happy that I could see the glimmer in his eyes.
However, when Bomyu checked what's inside, he widened his eyes as he sputtered: "Tomato!!! Please remove tomato!"
"You can just take the tomato slice off." Seanyung hinted.
"Shut up Seanyung I know that already." Bomyu's cheeks turned pink while he removed the tomatoes from his burger.
Everything seemed perfect, so I asked to make sure it really is: "Is everything okay for you guys?"
"Did you order coke?" Paikek inquired.
"Yeah, I did."
"I think they forgot about it." Paikek sighed distinctively, and then he noticed empty cup next to him;
"Or am I supposed to pour it in this." he shook the empty cup.
"Yeah, it always works like that." Seanyung reminded.
"But that doesn't seem right. This cup was here even before we ordered." Paikek puzzled.
"It doesn't matter, Pai. Get yourself a drink."
After Paikek got the coke, we finally started eating peacefully. The taste of the burgers was even more delightful than I expected, but the actual amazing part was that we were eating...
TOGETHER.
