a closed starter for @fmdjeonghoon ! kind of a schedule thread accidentally.
“jeonghoon,” seungwoo’s voice is barely above a whisper, concern for their other members asleep in the plane cabin always evident. the flight from seoul to bangkok isn’t the longest flight they’ve taken together, but six rough hours is still a considerable chunk of time to fill. seungwoo, for one, can’t sleep. it’s probably his own fault for drinking too much coffee. he’s been too distant lately though. seungwoo’s always been the type to go beyond expectations as a leader, as an older brother figure, and as someone his members can go to for advice. to anyone outside of impulse, it wouldn’t look like he’s been neglecting his leadership duties, but he’s been feeling increasingly guilty about taking more time for himself, like he’s been trying to do lately.
it’s good then, all things considered, that he can’t sleep. he has the perfect opportunity to check in with jeonghoon. seungwoo has always overcompensated for his destroyed relationship with his biological younger brothers, especially with jeonghoon, who reminds him so much of the littlest ahn brother - who, seungwoo assumes, is probably not so little anymore. seungwoo’s altogether too soft on the guys most of the time, he thinks. he’s firm when he has to be, but he’s always willing to listen. maybe he’s too gentle, but they have good relationships. he can’t say that about his real brothers.
“have you been taking care of yourself?” he asks, stretching across the armrest between them to rest his head on jeonghoon’s shoulder, as if he’s the baby between the two of them. seungwoo isn’t overly physically affectionate with friends for the most part. he’s preferred to keep things safe and distant as much as he can ever since impulse’s debut. but impulse’s members are an exception, even if it is only off camera. he babies jeonghoon the most out of all of them. “i’m sorry i haven’t come over recently. you’ve been eating things other than ramen, right?” a text conversation from a couple of weeks back comes to mind.
