It wasn't always this way. When Bangtan first debuted Yoongi towered over his favorite dongsaeng. Well, as towering as he could be when he was only two centimeters taller than the kid. But that didn't last long.

Puberty hit Jimin like a Mack truck and the growth spurt that followed meant that Yoongi wasn't the tall hyung anymore. No, now the rapper had to suffer through the torment that went with being the shortest member of the band. That meant being constantly being patted on the head, endless short jokes, and cooing from the others when he tried to be even remotely threatening.

Most of the torment came from Jimin, though.

Like yesterday, Jimin had bounded into the living room, approaching his hyung from behind where he sat on the couch and wrapping him in a hug, resting his chin on Yoongi’s head and looking down at the phone in the elder’s hands,

“Hyuung, watcha doing?” he asked innocently, purposely raising his voice an octave in an attempt to sound cute.

“Piss off, Jimin” the elder grumbled in response. Jimin giggled, already knowing he was getting on his hyung’s nerves,

“Aww, you’re so cute when you’re angry, hyung” he cooed, releasing one of his hands to bring up and pinch Yoongi’s  cheek. The elder shook Jimin off, flailing his arm behind him to shoo the younger away,

"Pinch my cheek again and you won't live to see your next birthday, Park Jimin" he growled. Jimin snickered in response and scampered out of the room, tossing a 'sure, hyung' over his shoulder as he left.

Two days after the last incident and Jimin was at it again. This time, he decided to pull out the short jokes.

Yoongi was the last one to emerge from his room for breakfast, entering the living room to see that the other members were already seated around the table eating.

He slides into his seat next to Namjoon, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with a clenched fist and mumbling for Hoseok to pass the rice,

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning..." the dancer mutters under his breath as he passes the bowl of rice to the half-asleep rapper. Jimin snickers in response,

"No hyung, he's grumpy cause that's just how short people are. They're angrier cause they're closer to hell". A slight nervous  laughter comes from the rest of the members as Yoongi angrily scoops rice onto his plate and steams in his annoyance. Jimin senses his hyung's irritation and presses further.

He gets up and gathers his dishes,

"I'm gonna go call Sungjae hyung to see if he wants to get together today" he announces before excusing himself, making a point to rub Yoongi's head when he walks by.

Jimin returns to the dorm a few hours later to see Yoongi pulling on his coat, getting ready to leave,

"Where are you going?" he asks, looking at his hyung curiously.

"Studio" Yoongi replies gruffly. Jimin's smile turns into a pout,

"Aww hyung, are you still mad at me from earlier?"

"No, what gave you that idea?" Yoongi says with a sneer. Jimin giggles at his hyung’s annoyance,

“It’s just so cute when you get angry! I can’t help but tease you for being short. It’s almost like you’re the maknae with how adorable you are~” Jimin coos disgustingly, reaching up to pinch Yoongi’s cheek but Yoongi intercepts him before he can, swatting Jimin’s hand away and growling angrily.

He doesn’t even dignify Jimin with a response before yanking open the door and stepping outside, leaving the dorm and letting it slam shut.

--

“You better watch yourself around him. You know how he gets when you piss him off too much” Namjoon warns his dongsaeng when he enters the room. Jimin scoffs,

“Yeah I know, but he likes me too much to do anything, and he knows I’m just teasing him,” he responds innocently. Namjoon gives him an uncertain look,

“If you say so…”

--

Yoongi returns to the dorm a few hours later and immediately greeted by Jimin hopping onto his back,

“Hyuung! You’re back!” he squeals excitedly. Yoongi shakes him off before he can collapse under the weight of Jimin’s solid muscle. The younger boy hops back up and opens his mouth to speak, but stops short when Yoongi affixes him with a glare that effectively shuts him up. It doesn't have that affect for very long, though,

"How's the weather, hyung? Is it cold? I mean you're so tiny so I was just worried-"

 

A girlish shriek echos throughout the dorm followed by a dull thud. The rest of the members rush in to see Jimin laying on the floor holding his groin with Yoongi standing over him,

“Who’s the short one now, ?”. Jimin responds with a groan as he continues to roll around on the floor in pain.

Namjoon is the first to speak up,

“Yoongi...did you just-”

“Kick the little in the jewels? Yup. He had it coming,” the pale rapper responds with a -eating grin. Jimin whines from his spot on the floor,

"Hyuung...my balls..." his voice is at least three octaves higher.

"It's not like you needed them anyway" he snickers.

"HAH" they hear a loud laugh from the other end of the dorm.

' OFF JUNGKOOK" Jimin shrieks.
