hohyeon really didn’t know why he enjoyed pushing the younger boy around like this. maybe it was because it was a chance to actually act like the older for a change, haruto was sort of like the little brother he never had, so hyeon was just acting like a typical big brother. sometimes he did want a younger sibling, or any sibling, really. being an only child with a single obviously struggling mother was hard. then again, he doubted that his mother would be able to look after two kids, so maybe it was better if he didn’t have any actual siblings. but it was alright, he had haruto to bother and boss around and that was good enough for him.
“no,” he teased with a small grin, “it’s just so fun to mess with you, haru.” though he wasn’t doing it to be mean, he was doing it because he very obviously cared about the boy and felt as though he needed protecting. “yes we do, we need to commemorate this,” and nothing was going to change his mind, keeping his grip on the younger boy quite tight as he pushed him towards the photo booth, deciding to switch over to korean again to make his next point, “stop being difficult and take a picture with your hyung.” he would amuse the boy and speak in japanese to make him comfortable, but haruto really did need to use korean more if he ever wanted to get anywhere in this country.
