"Hyuk-shi, have you ever secretly wore your hyungs clothes? "

"I have. "

He grew up with them. They watched him growing. They raised them. They were always there for him. They coax him and took care of him. 

He was smaller than them. He was obedient and naive and sweet and basically, just the perfect dongsaeng that they never have. 

Maybe that's why they used to care a lot about him. 

But now he's a grown up. He's grown stronger and taller than them. He isn't naive anymore nor is he obedient. He can stand up for himself now, he needs no one to defend him as he's no longer that weak teenager he once was. 

So maybe that's why they stopped caring. 

Maybe that's why they stopped concerning about him. 

Maybe that's why they stopped asking him about how he's doing and if he's going through a hard time. 

Maybe that's why they stopped comforting him when he feels bad about himself. 

Because he's now an adult and he's now no longer their little dongsaeng; the dongsaeng that left his home at such an early age just to chase after his dreams. 

But that's where they are wrong. 

He may have changed a lot but deep down inside of him, there's still that Hyogi, that child that yearns for them. 

"Isn't that my clothes? "Ken asks when one day, he sees Hyuk walking out of the bathroom wearing a shirt that is obviously too small for him. 

"Is it? "Hyuk questions back, tilting his head but he gives Ken no chance to actually answer his question as he quickly rushes off into his room, closing the door shut behind him. 

"Yeah... I'm pretty sure that mine... "Ken mumbles to himself but then just shrugs and walks away. "Oh, well. "

"You're wearing my sweater. "N says when one night, he comes home to see Hyuk cuddling with his Crong plushie in front of the t.v., watching a cartoon. "And I never know you still watch cartoon. "He comments because yes, his maknae really is watching cartoon, a Pororo cartoon to be exact. It would have been more understandable if he's watching Naruto instead. 

Hyuk looks up at him for a split second but says nothing as he just hugs his plushie tighter, fixing his eyes on the t.v. once again. 

"Hey, I'm talking to you. "N demands, getting irritated that he's being ignored. 

"Go away. "Hyuk mumbles without looking at him. 

"But you're wearing my sweater! "N points out and to his surprise, Hyuk jumps to his feet and hastily takes off the black sweater he's wearing before throwing it right at N's face. 

"Then take it back! "He yells, picking up his Crong plushie as he stomps off to his room, leaving N dumbfounded . 

"H-Hyuk? "

"Has anyone seen my earing? "Leo calls out as he wander around the dorm that morning, trying to look for that one earing he wishes to wear to his schedule today. 

"And my perfume too? Did anyone take it? "Hongbin interrupts while scavenging around their members rooms. 

N and Ken are trying their best to look for those items as well but Hyuk remain quietly in his place,watching his hyungs with eagle eyes. 

"Give us a hand here, maknae? "Ken calls out impatiently but Hyuk just turns away from him. 

"It's just an earring and a perfume. You have lots of them. "He comments just in time for them to hear Ravi shouting from his and Hyuk's shared bedroom. 

"I found your earring, Taekwoon-hyung! Oh, and Hongbin's perfume too! "

Hearing that, both Leo and Hongbin quickly run over to where Ravi is, only to have Ravi walking out of the room and bumping with them, dropping the things he's been holding. 

"I think you have an explanation to make, Hyuk. "Ravi says once he manages to regain his composure. He looks somewhat mad, which confuses the rest of the members. 

"Explanation? Why? What did Hyuk do? "N asks and Ravi gestures towards the things that he has dropped onto the floor; N's scented candles, Ken's lipbalms, Ravi's rings, Hongbin's perfume and Leo's earring along with his bracelets. 

"These. I found them in Hyuk's drawer. "Ravi says before looking up at Hyuk in a serious manner. "Why do you have all these? Did you steal them from us? "He demands and Hyuk snaps his head at the accusation. 

"I didn't steal them! "Hyuk is fast to defend himself. 

"Then why do you have all these in your possession? You said you didn't know when we asked about it. "Leo interrupts, giving Hyuk a judging look as he picks up his earring and puts it on. "Taking someone else's belonging without asking for permission is considered as--"

"I didn't steal! "Hyuk repeats, his lips trembling as if he's about to cry. 

"Then why don't you tell us why you have our things? "Ken says, trying to sound as soft as he can because those glassy eyes of Hyuk's really is an indication that he's really going to cry and well, he's right because right at the moment, tears start running down the maknae's cheek. 

"Why... why are you accusing me like that? "He mutters while trying to fight back his tears. "I didn't steal your things. I was just--"

"Syy, don't cry. It's okay, Hyuk. It's okay. "N tries to coax, quickly stepping in and pulling Hyuk away from the rest of the members. "I know you didn't steal. I believe in you, trust me. "

"You believe me, hyung. You believe me. "Hyuk repeats, burying his face into the crook of N's neck while his hands into the material of N's shirt. 

And that's how N knows, the Hyuk he's holding right is not the adult Hyuk and instead, he's just a child, craving for attention. 

A/N There will be a part two of this.
