Everyone else would find it hard to say no. Everyone else would give up easily. And amongst everyone, Eeteuk would fall easily, well, too easily. 

“Hyung can I have this?” Sungmin asked Leeteuk one night when they’re inside the laundry room folding their clothes. 

“Oh no, you can’t have that.” Eeteuk answered the moment he saw Sungmin holding his favorite pair of cute, stripy socks. 

Sungmin sighed but that didn’t mean he would give up already. Not for Sungmin. He looked at the leader and he jutted his lips slowly out and puffed his cheeks ever beamingly, giving Leeteuk a pitiful look. Sungmin would ask again, “Can I have this, please?” 

Eeteuk would smile and pinch Sungmin’s cheeks. “Oh, all right. You can have them.”
