"Flat Tires"

Hongbin sat in the car while impatiently looking at the sun going down. He kept looking at his watch and at his phone that had completely ran out of battery already. He peeked out from the passenger window at the older trying to fix their flat tire.

I shouldn't have agreed to going on this trip with Hakyeon-hyung, he sighed in full regret of his decision.

Hakyeon have been pestering the members to go on a road trip together but both the vocalists have been busy with their musicals and Wonshik was preparing for another mixtape. Hyuk also escaped last minute by telling their leader he had to go home to his parents. So, Hongbin was stuck alone on this trip.

He should have known better than to go anywhere with Hakyeon who seems to have the worst of luck in anything. 

He sighed deeply again.

"How much longer hyung?" He whined a bit as he popped his head out of the window. 

"Just a bit..." Hakyeon said as his voice of confidence slowly died down. 

They've already called for a tow truck but the leader insisted on taking actions for himself. 

"Can't you just leave it if you don't know how to fix it?" Hongbin asked. 

"It's fine. I've done this before." 

The younger sighed again. 

Unable to just sit and watch any longer, Hongbin got out of the car.

"Get back inside. You'll catch a cold," Hakyeon said.

"Worry about yourself first," Hongbin said as he flopped a jacket on top of Hakyeon's body. "Let's just get back inside and wait for the tow truck okay?" 

"But..."

"Yeah, I know you can do everything but let's just leave it for now. Look at you, you have smudges all over your face," Hongbin told the older as he wiped the older’s face with his sleeves.

"Sorry... I guess I should've known better than to go on a trip with my kind of luck," Hakyeon said in defeat and slowly retreates back to the driver's seat. 

"At least it hasn't rained yet."

"Ya! Don't jynx it... you know it'll happen whenever I go."

"What? So you do admit you have bad luck?" Hongbin was amused at the defeated leader who usually shows a lot of confidence in everything he does. 

Hakyeon sighed deeply and hit his head on the carwheel. 

Hongbin couldn't help but caress the leader's hair at the older was obviously dejected at the situation. 

"Sorry Kong-ah, I shouldn't have forced you to come along with me."

"Pfft. It's okay, it's not like anyone else was willing to come with you except me. Plus, it wasn't that bad. We got to see the country side and lots of beautiful scenery too. My camera is already full from taking so many pictures," Hongbin patted the older’s head to reassure the sad leader. 

"Really? You don't regret it then? Did you really have fun?" Hakyeon looked at Hongbin with hope in his eyes.

"Mhmm. But don't get it over your heads. After this trip, I'm going put roadtrips on the side for awhile. I don't think I can handle anymore of this," Hongbin joked. 

"Kong-ah, thanks for coming along. I really appreciate it."

"I did say I would follow you anywhere you want to go didn't I?" 

Hakyeon nodded as he could never forget. 

"I do hope the tow truck gets here soon though. I'm starving," Hongbin could feel his stomach growling nonstop.

"Ah! I packed some kimbap for emergency in the back seat."

"Are they edible?" Hongbin teased. 

"Maybe ~?" Hakyeon joked. 

The two of them looked at one another and laughed. They forgot about their current situation and simply enjoyed their time together as the sun finally disappeared. 

And from a distance, the two could see the headlight of the long awaited tow truck coming their way. 

It was just a bit if wishful thinking but Hongbin wouldn't have mind if the tow truck took a bit longer. 

"Let's do this again someday," Hakyeon said.

"I'll have to think about that," the younger laughed.

Yeah, let's do this again some day, is what the younger was really thinking. 

A/N: So, I forgot to turn off my panel lights of my car before work and after work, my battery died. So while I was waiting for someone to come jumpstart my car, this fanfic happened xD Time well spent I guess.
