Minsoo could see the sad look in Daniel’s eyes as he walked off stage after the performance. It was still the same thing over and over, fans refused to recognize Daniel has a real member of the group. They blamed Daniel for having the most lines in most songs and not their management, not their entertainment company. Minsoo watched as the rest of the members filed off to the waiting van to fall into a pile of limbs in the backseat. A soft smile graced his normally emotionless face as he hurried forward a little and grabbed Daniel’s arm, tugging him off to the side. Daniel’s eyes widened slightly at the sudden tug, letting himself be led off towards a dark corner. Minsoo couldn’t help but give a gruff chuckle at the suspicious look the lead singer had placed on them. They’d all be subject to the wild literature called fanfiction and had gone through that brief awkward moment with each other. Minsoo raised up a hand when Daniel opened his mouth to protest or ask what the leader wanted.
“You’re not okay.” Daniel’s eyes widened before growing dark as he looked away, turning to leave and head back to the van, to salvation not wanting to deal with how right the leader was right now. Minsoo grabbed Daniel’s arm and pulled him back towards him, resting his hands on the smaller’s shaking shoulders. He knew all too well that Daniel cried at night because of all this. This was too much for a sixteen year old to handle on their own. The entertainment business was tough but to be hated by your own fans for something you have no control over is too much. Daniel took the slow tentative steps to rest his face into Minsoo’s chest, clutching to the material of the orange and white as he finally broke down. The rapper wrapped his arms around the broken boy and held him tightly, trying to squeeze the sadness from his body.
There was only so much leaders can do and Minsoo hated feeling powerless, hated the fact he couldn’t control the environment around him and protect his members. Daniel’s sobs had quieted down to little murmurs; his tiny body still and limp as Minsoo supported him, holding him close. There was really no way to calm Daniel down once he went hysterical, just stand by and let it run its course but over their time together Minsoo had picked up a few things to help the process along. He was a rapper for a reason but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try anything for his members. It was part of his responsibility to help them where ever and whenever it was needed.
*”Nuga bwado sarangseuroun, nuga bwado nomuna yeppeun, hanahan nomu wanbyokhan, there’s an angel in my heart.” Minsoo’s voice was rough and not as melodic as Daniel’s or Chanhee’s but it did the trick. Daniel’s tears ran dry and a soft laugh started to bubble up from the boy. Minsoo felt one of his eyebrows shoot up as Daniel tilted his head back to look up at the rapper, amusement shining in his wet eyes.
“Hyung you’re cheesy.” Minsoo wrinkled his nose up and wiped the tear stains out of the lead singer’s face before giving his nose a soft pinch.
“Respect your betters Daniel.” Daniel grumbled and swatted at the offending hand, doing a small dance to get away, voice sounding nasally.
“Hyung!”
“Minsoo, Daniel, come on we’ve got another schedule to go to!”
Both heads popped up when they heard their manager’s slightly irritated voice and emerged from the shadows. The manager took one look at Daniel’s face and gave Minsoo a soft nod, the only way he told the leader he was doing a good job. Minsoo’s eyes lit up with the praise as he ushered Daniel towards the van. Sure enough the other four were a tangle of limbs, all squashed up in the back seat as they slept. Minsoo shook his head and sat down in the middle seats, stretching out his long limbs and closed his eyes. He felt a body sit down next to him and curl into his side, stealing his body warmth. He didn’t have to open his eyes to know it was Daniel, he could tell from the lavender drifting up into his nose, Niel’s shampoo.
“Thank you.” The voice was soft and still held the memory of tears shed but there was a lighter tone underneath it. A tone of hope, of a brighter day. Minsoo nodded his head and shifted an arm to rest around Daniel’s shoulders, mumbling out quietly before drifting off into a light nap.
