“Step forward a little more, hyung.”

 

“Is this a prank I’m walking right into?”

 

Jonghyun laughed short and loud, keeping his hands over Jinki’s eyes while walking behind his friend. Jinki stumbled a bit, unable to see the ground. The warm summer breeze brushed over their skin, feeling new and fresh.

 

“I’m not walking to my death, am I?”

 

Jonghyun whined, “Hyung..” and bumped his waist into Jinki’s back, making Jinki lurch forward, but not out of his touch. 

 

“Then what is it?” Jinki asked, smiling now.

 

Jonghyun stopped them both, grinning as he lowered his hands from Jinki’s face. He knew his friend’s eyes were open, feeling his body against him tense in surprise. It didn’t last long. Jinki was soon relaxing, voice showing how he was impressed by what Jonghyun had done.

 

Jonghyun wrapped his arms around Jinki’s chest, hugging him tight. He whispered, still grinning widely, “Just for you, hyung. Please be happy again.” Jonghyun lays his forehead on Jinki’s back. “I’ll help you get better.”

 

Jinki’s voice was so small and quiet Jonghyun almost missed it. “Jonghyun-ah… Thank you.”

 

Jonghyun would do anything he could to make Jinki better again.
