Sleep

the fanmeet was nothing new, to the group. they had done so many activities without jonghyun lately it was finally falling into an easy routine. jinki wouldn't say things had become easier, per say, he didn't want to just exclude jonghyun like that but it seemed that minus one member the group just got a bit more flighty, a bit more carefree. it was probably because no one expected them to be perfect or over the top when they were only 4. which actually reduced quite a bit of stress on their shoulders, especially jinki's.
you could say he wasn't 'all there' during the santafe fanmeet. he smiled and joked and laughed and for the most part he just felt a bit out of it, acting extra silly just to try and make sure no one would notice. he saw the looks minho was giving him, though. and he knew that the rapper figured something was wrong, and jinki was just... tired. he had woken up too late to ask key for some of his special eye cream to get rid of the bags under his eyes and so he let coordi nunas pack his cheeks down with foundation and concealer, hoping it would do a decent job.
"hyung," minho had commented before the fan meet. "you should get more sleep."
jinki replayed the concern in minho's voice as the mc asked them questions, and when it was his turn jinki obediently smiled and paid attention. oh great, a relationship question. apparently since jonghyun wasn't around, that made it ok for interviewers to ask the other members about their personal lives. jinki's heart clenched - he was so busy, he was too busy, there was no way he could take care of someone else and his band.
he let some of his anguish show and quickly covered it up by exaggerating with his sangtae, bursting out into fake tears and waving his hands. minho came to his side, "no no no no", and jinki wasn't sure if he was saying that to the nuna or if he was trying to tell jinki to stop. whichever one it was, jinki didn't care to notice as he finally gave a dramatic sniff and then finally shook his head at the mc.
the rest of the fanmeet went in a blur. backstage, they sipped on drinks and waited for their van to come around, key and taemin playing with some of the things they'd been given. jinki had taken one drink of his beverage and it rest on his thigh, untouched any further, his back sunk into the cushions of the couch and his legs spread a bit. minho sat down softly next to jinki and the leader had to wonder how such a big kid could be so quiet and gentle.
"hyung," minho said softly, taking the can from jinki's slack grip and setting it on the table next to the couch. "you should sleep more." he wrapped an arm around jinki's shoulders and jinki's eyes fell closed, as he rested his head on minho's shoulder.
with minho's hand rubbing his bicep gently through his jacket, generating a comforting warmth, jinki finally fell asleep right there on the couch nestled into the rapper's side.
the van could wait another twenty minutes, everyone figured.
