there are times when jonghyun just completely loses his composure.
sitting on the end of jinki's bed, the older boy laughing at something that was subtly making fun of the younger - clearly lighthearted, though jonghyun was beginning to feel otherwise.
"shut up."
which was usually the key to get jinki to quiet down, but the older boy was on a tangent tonight - unable to pull his hands away from his stomach as they curled around his sides, long fingers squeezing himself tightly, bundled close.
"really onew, stop." jonghyun clenched his teeth as the leader took in a deep breath, composure slowly rolling back into his expression, eyes fluttering open, wide and somewhat concerned.
though his lip was still curled up in a tiny grin, he cleared his throat to push out the leftover laughter that sat within him, sitting up as he stretched his legs out, head falling down slightly.
surely whatever it was, it really wasn't as funny as jinki thought it was, because it only took moments for the older boy to be laughing again, head rolling back on his shoulders, that honey hair falling off his brow at to the side of his face.
and it's when the bottle pops in the flame, smashing his senses of the usual gentle but firm jonghyun they all knew, sitting up quickly to reach across the bed and slap the group's leader right across the face.
"i told you to stop!"
jonghyun's voice an octave higher than normal, words hissing through his clenched teeth with a low growl.
and it wasn't until the shock of the sudden event ruptured and began to melt within the atmosphere of the room that the younger of the two realized what he'd just done - their leader now completely silent and holding the side of his face in one of his own soft hands.
jonghyun's own reaction immediately guilt, feeling himself moving again before thinking - reaching out to the older boy only to have him flinch away from his hand with a hesitant laugh, jonghyun retracting it quickly, mouth pooling with spit that swallowed hard like a large stone.
any kind of apologies stuck behind it like a dam - no longer able to say anything, just look at jinki with an unsure, glazed over look of reaped regret.
because really, he knew better - jinki was just so damn frustrating sometimes. and in attempt to flee from the scene, jonghyun staggers to his feet, shuffling towards the door, ultimately leaving the leader in their room to idle alone in the lingering tension■
