It should probably offend him, but it doesn’t-not when he’s already misplaced one of Himchan’s hair clips and two of Yongguk’s favorite pens for drawing. (They told him it was okay and that they’ve already replaced them, but he still feels a little guilty for it.)
bb, jonguppie bb, donchu worry 'bout a thang. you're the 2nd youngest, not the 2nd eldest.


But when he finally does, when he finally lets Jongup try to fly on his own, the boy has no idea what to do.
Easy, Junhonggie....or Jonguppie.. (wait, who are you referring to as "the boy"?) Either way, just have Jonguppie come to hyung and we can sail to no man's land and forget our worries away as castaways. 8D


the dancer replies with a murmur, voice the taddest bit guilty, “Don’t you ever get... tired of taking care of me?” When Junhong takes a little too long to answer, Jongup feels a little panicked (‘Oh, God, he thinks I’m annoying. He doesn’t want me around anymore. We can’t be friends-you’ve done it now, Moon Jongup-‘)

Jongup raises himself up on his elbows, staring down at Junhong with imploring eyes. His voice is flat, like he doesn’t quite believe Junhong’s answer, but the younger boy pretends not to notice (or doesn’t notice at all), “Really? Not at all? You don’t get tired of making lunch for me everyday and making my bed whenever I forget? You don’t get annoyed at anything?”

A second later, the tension leaves his face though, and he answers, honestly (Jongup tries, but he can’t detect a single thing in his voice that says he’s lying to him), “I don’t get tired of taking care of you,” with a ring of double-meaning in his words.
Ugh, Jonguppie...I know how you feel sometimes. Except for me, it's not about taking care of me, but rather, being friends with me after all this time even though I'm so awkward sometimes with struggling to understand what the other person is saying, and being so...awkward. Sometimes I'm amazed at just how many people can still have the capability to be able to show such tolerance and patience...that we don't feel like we deserve them. ;~;


The older boy tries to keep him from doing it, but he doesn’t-the more he tries to talk about it with him, the worse it gets.

(And Jongup has no idea what to do.)

He forgot Junhong could be this naïve.


OR HOW JUNHONG CAN MESS UP MY LIST. LIKE THIS YO LIKE THIS.


And Jongup thinks about the words Junhong said that day (the way he looked at him when he said I don’t get tired of taking care of you when what he really meant was I’m just tired of taking care of myself), and he thinks about how it’s a little too late for him not to worry anymore.
Jongup-ah, you're too precious. i cannot...............gif-reply at this moment. LOL.

His shower is quick, which is good.

(But he forgets his underwear and towels.

Which is bad, but at least Junhong doesn’t have to pick out his outfit.)
WHOOP.




Jongup decides to make him waffles.
NOTHING WRONG WITH BELGIAN WAFFLES. 'CAUSE TALL MAKNAE BB IS STILL GROWING.

When the vocalist doesn’t say a word, Jongup decides he might be doing something really wrong (because Daehyun just doesn’t stop talking. It’s against his nature.)

Junhong sighs, and Jongup hates the look of disappointment on his face. Like he prides himself in being the first one Jongup wakes up, but he nods anyway. “You go first. I have to pick out your…” The rapper trails off. Rubs his eyes to sees what Jongup’s wearing and furrows his brow. Jongup can’t help the smile on his face. With a scratch of his head, Junhong climbs down his bed, purses his lips, and continues, “Well… okay, I have to pick out my outf-”

“Nope. Not today. That’s my job. You are going to eat and then you are going to do nothing.”
WARMING THE KOKLES (cockles) OF MY KOKORO.


Himchan nods, understanding playing on the edges off his arched eyebrows. “Well, when worse comes for worse, just pick out something you’d wear. Junhong admires you anyway-I think he’d like anything you pick out.”

“How about those cute crocodile shorts with a white t-shirt?” Yongguk chips in, just now walking through the bedroom door, “He can wear that necklace he has that looks like yours, too, and you guys can ma-”

(me:
)

“I still think the crocodile shorts would be-”

“Hyung,” Youngjae shakes his head. “No.”


It doesn’t exactly matter to Jongup though. (Just as long as he can finally take care of his dongsaeng.)
WORD. This reminds me of why I have the tendency to ship the youngest two members of almost any bands... LOL...
KiWoon, 2Min, KaiSo-...(okay, maybe not that pairing...), MyungJo-.....(nah, I still ship YeolSooJong)... OKAY I SAID ALMOST. OKAY. ALMOST. GAWSH.

[tikibuddy91]

Junhong, however, seems a little reluctant to let that pass. “You know that’s not what I meant.”

“Can’t a hyung take care of his dongsaeng?”

“Not you.”

This time, Jongup feels a little hurt, “Ouch.”


(brb as I continue to make an ungodly squeal at the gif 5ever.) Uh Junhong...come on. you're the maknae. It's okay to get as much attention from your hyungs. :3

In a split second, Junhong’s eyes water, and without thinking about it, Jongup wraps his arms around the blanket and pulls him in closer until Junhong’s face is pressed into his chest. “My f-family,” He breathes-a sudden, shaky rush of breath that’s meant to calm him down. Jongup’s not going to make him elaborate. He knows how that’s like: missing your family. Being away from them for so long after sticking with them your whole life. You start to miss them, you start to worry, and then, after a long, long time (too long), you start to imagine the worst. “I miss them, Jongup hyung. It’s not even that I miss them taking care of me; I just miss them.”


“Considering it made you use a word as big as ‘anticlimactically’ I’d be really disappointed if you didn’t.”


You know, when I read that word 'anticlimactically', I got a brain post-orgasm. 'Cause like, that part 'climactically', was the exact word I was looking for, as I was trying to describe my chapter 22 for LKNB. I kept typing climaxically, or climatically...but THEY DIDNT SEEM RIGHT. OTL. so i just kept saying "Climax Chapter" or "Turning Chapter of the Story" LOLZ.)

Jongup says, out of sudden habit, “’fanksh, shunhong,” looking up at Junhong with what he hopes is gratitude.
I KNEW I WOULD SEE IT AGAIN. XD

welcome back, puppeh.
