jimin is naturally flirty, every bit the perfect mix of sexual and cute revo intended for him to be. and it’s true. jeongguk hates the fake part of jimin that comes out– he feels more plastic than the cheapest barbie jeongguk could buy at the dollar store, all silicon and polish. that jimin is someone jeongguk would rather bury, and leave in the ground to be forgotten forever. but this person– while the lines were blurred, sometimes– this jimin, jeongguk could tolerate. (just tolerate, he always swears to himself, despite the smile on his face whenever jimin was around, just tolerate. nothing more.) “you might gain several thousand more fangirls, but count me out,” he teases, tilting his head up to pinch jimin’s cheek– really, only jimin would ever let jeongguk get away with such a disrespectful gesture, which was exactly why he does it– and cooing. “you’ll always look like a baby to me. i should call you baby hyung.” that would result in a lot of yelling from but when has jeongguk ever cared? “i’m even taller than you, maybe you should be calling me hyung instead~”
“yaaaaaah, don’t disrespect me like that--” jimin swats his hand away, nose wrinkling at how easy he lets jeongguk off like this. “taller or not, i’m still your hyung!” and he reaches down to pinch at jeongguk’s nose out of retaliation, snickering under his breath. “like you’re one to talk anyway, maknae-- look at yourself, old enough to drink now, and the other members still won’t let you drink anything but banana milk.” he pinches harder before letting go on time, in case his best friend has the audacity to hit him today. “what happened to the fourteen-year old kid who cried coming home because a girl talked to him the day of his high school entrance ceremony? or turned away blushing and everything because one of the male trainees took his shirt off after a long dance practice and he happened to be buff as all hell?” he stifles another snicker, catching it in his throat, his mischievous expression melting back down to a faint smile. “it doesn’t matter if you’re taller, maybe now that you’re older, you could learn to respect your elders better. you brat.”
