“I’m not wearing it.” Jongin glanced at him.
"Not going to wear it?" Sehun crossed his arms back to his chest, looking slightly disappointed.
"I had laser surgery," Jongin said, and Sehun repeated, "I had laser surgery."
"What else is there?" Zhong Ren was not discouraged and continued his "burden-free" treasure hunt.
Soon, his eyes lit up again as he found a new target: "Aigoo, this is when my hand is injured. To be honest, hand injuries are an occasional thing."
He pointed to a large box of bandages on the shelf, saying, "Giving such a large package would be quite a burden." His reasoning was sound and convincing.
“And this isn’t a regular band-aid, it’s…” Sehun reached out and picked it up, examining the packaging carefully.
"It's from xxx (a certain brand)!" The two exclaimed in unison, as if they had discovered a luxury brand.
"Small pack of band-aids." Then, as if by magic, Jongin took the band-aids from Sehun's hand.
"Done." Sehun covered his mouth and laughed after saying that, impressed by Sehun's unique way of thinking.
Then, Jongin made another discovery: "There are also essential eye makeup products." He said, looking down to search, and then picked up a box.
"Cotton swabs!" Sehun exclaimed loudly, his tone filled with admiration that said, "You even thought of that."
"This, there's nothing better than this." Jongin showed off the cotton swab to Sehun as if he were displaying a diamond.
"Cotton swabs!" Sehun gave a thumbs-up with an admiring look, his expression as serious as if he were evaluating a work of art.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" The two of them looked at the simple pack of cotton swabs and could no longer hold back. They bent over and lay on the ground laughing so hard that their shoulders shook.
The gift they chose was so outrageous that even they thought it was ridiculous.
After laughing enough, the two moved to another shelf. Jongin's carefree gifts continued to pour in.
“It’s been really cold lately, and Chanyeol hyung has had a tough time filming a lot because it’s so cold he can’t wear really nice gloves.” He started acting out a skit, “So he has to wear these gloves.” After saying that, he actually took out a pair of simple white cotton gloves from the shelf that looked like work gloves.
"Wow~" Even Sehun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at this boundless imagination.
"Hahahaha~" Jongin himself thought it was too outrageous, and bent over laughing again.
Sehun took the gloves, looked at them repeatedly, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh until he was shaking.
"That's fantastic!" Zhong Ren was still praising himself.
"You'll be touched." Sehun looked sincerely at the "burden-free kit" in his hand—a small bottle of contact lens cleaning solution (though Chanyeol wouldn't need it), a small box of bandages, cotton swabs, and the work gloves that were the soul of the kit.
“Definitely. And these things cost exactly five thousand yuan, just right.” Zhong Ren calculated, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Hahahahahaha.” The price perfectly fit their budget.
Sehun also laughed so hard he fell to the ground.
After laughing, Jongin looked at the pile of "generous gifts" totaling five thousand won (about twenty yuan), and finally had a pang of conscience. He covered his mouth, feeling a little guilty: "Isn't this too cheap?" He suggested, "Let's spend a little more money." "Let's put in a little more effort and spend a little more money." He stretched out his hand, rubbing his fingers back and forth, making a counting motion.
"How about we buy ourselves a cup of coffee?" Sehun pointed to the refrigerated display case next to him and proposed a very practical way to spend the money.
"Use the remaining money?" Jongin laughed, and Sehun nodded affirmatively.
"Is this how it should be?" Jongin confirmed.
“Let’s go.” Sehun made the final decision, and the two instantly switched from choosing a gift for their brother to buying coffee for themselves.
They went to the refrigerated display case.
"Keep it simple," Sehun said, opening the cabinet door.
"They have a buy-one-get-one-free deal!" Jongin exclaimed as if he had discovered a treasure.
"Wow~ there are quite a lot of these." Sehun also expressed his satisfaction.
The two carefully calculated and grabbed two promotional bottles of coffee, then walked contentedly to the cashier.
"I feel happy because I bought a gift for Chanyeol hyung." Jongin concluded his statement at the cashier, his face beaming with pride.
"I feel really cool inside." Sehun agreed, touching his heart with his hand.
"It's that feeling of being able to enjoy things without any burden," Zhongren emphasized the core idea again.
After scanning the code, the cashier announced the amount: "7100 yuan." This included coffee and a gift.
"Ah~ It's too expensive~ It's too expensive~" Amidst Sehun's hearty laughter, Jongin was still clutching his chest, pretending to complain, completely embodying the drama queen.
"Would you like a bag?" the cashier asked.
"No, oh, yes, please give me the bag." Jongin habitually refused without thinking, but then immediately changed his mind when he realized he needed it to hold the gift, creating a comical scene.
“Then let’s use the remaining money…” Jongin was still calculating when Sehun blurted out, “Wrapping paper.”
"Buy wrapping paper, pick up the boxes on the street." Zhong Ren surprised everyone by taking the bag from the cashier and planning how to complete the final ritual with minimal cost.
"We agreed to buy wrapping paper, right?" The two of them walked out of the convenience store, still laughing heartily at their magical shopping trip.
Hahahaha…
