Minseok likes it when Jongdae teases him incessantly, but loves it when he's being babied even more.
A Little Teasing and Babying Once in a While;
Jongdae loves to tease Minseok, that is a given. But, being the more patient one out of the two of them, Minseok prefers to quietly whistle absentmindedly when Jongdae decides to make a snarky remark about him or starts slapping his chest with a wry smile because his ultimate goal at the end of the day is to get the eldest all riled up and maybe a bit flustered.
“Leave him alone will ya?” Luhan spoke to him with informal Korean one time; swatting Jongdae’s intruding hands away before Minseok told him he didn’t mind at all.
In fact, Minseok loves Jongdae’s love for teasing him. It helps to bring a bit of sunshine to his dull days when they’re traveling back and forth in airports or when Minseok’s spacing out during recordings in China when the hosts and the Chinese members would speak in their tonal language.
“Stop that,” Minseok practically giggles when Jongdae’s blowing in his ears for some strange reason, but stops when their leader turns around and elbows the younger in the stomach lightly, not hard enough to hurt him, but enough to make him stop whatever it was he was doing.
It’s not as if glaring at them would be proven effective, as Jongdae would get right back to his little antics when no one was paying heed to the both of them. “You’re gonna get in trouble.” Minseok warns him when Jongdae starts poking at his sides, his weak spot.
“That’s okay,” Jongdae chimes quietly, and Minseok can only shake his head at him and stifle his own laughter, “I like making you laugh.”
Minseok’s too caught up in his laughter to hear the last part of his sentence, “What was that?”
“Ah, nothing.” Jongdae shows his teeth through his smile and retreats.
“You okay there buddy?” Jongdae sits next to Minseok on one of the benches at the airport, growing more concerned when the elder’s head is lulling back and forth lazily.
“Shouldn’t you be calling me hyung? I’m older than you, you know.” Of course Jongdae knows that, but the latter never seemed to mind until now. Minseok’s voice was sharp and Jongdae would be lying if he said he wasn’t shocked by the little outburst.
“Sheesh, sorry hyung, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” Jongdae flattens his lips in a little pout, shuffling away when he realizes Minseok probably needs a bit of personal space today. Which is odd considering he isn’t really one to lose his patience so easily, at least not for something as trivial as calling him “hyung,” since they’re both so close with each other.
Minseok sighs, “Jongdae, I’m―”
And then he realizes, Jongdae’s several feet away from him chatting casually with Luhan and Yixing. Suddenly Minseok feels like an ass but it’s not like he can do anything about it at this point in time.
When they’re about to board the plane back to Seoul, somehow Minseok feels ten times shittier than before, and didn’t even notice that Jongdae was standing close behind him when his steps become laggard, eyes closed on their own because suddenly everything starts to feel heavy.
“Hey,” Jongdae calls out, hitting his chest lightly a few times, “are you sleeping? This isn’t really an ideal place for naps.” No shit Sherlock.
“No, I’m perfectly fine.” Minseok brushes him off and only after a few steps forward, he feels like collapsing and holds on to a large post to balance himself, that is, until Jongdae’s chuckling behind him as he swings an arm around his shoulder.
“Just brace against me until we get to the aircraft.” Minseok nods, wondering when in the world did their roles reverse, and suddenly Jongdae’s the older one and the former, the younger one. Jongdae felt fluffy and warm when he’s resting his head against his shoulder, but that’s probably because of his red coat.
Minseok braces against his chest and thinks to himself that he would never admit this to Jongdae because the latter would make fun of him for it, but he likes to have Jongdae pamper and baby him once in a while instead of teasing him.
