It’s been a few weeks since he last saw Hyesung. Andy rolls over in his bed, eyes still closed, and mentally wills - wishes - for Hyesung to call him. He just wants to hear his hyung’s voice, get an update from him, anything. Hyesung’s not like Dongwan; he’s not the kind to just disappear for weeks on end and then come back all refreshed, like nothing’s happened at all.

Andy knows Hyesung too well. Hyesung is lonely, and even though he pretends to hate it, he loves it when the members coddle him, call him cute. Hyesung is so awkward that he pushes away all human contact, which just makes him even more lonely.

Just then, his phone rings with a text, interrupting his thoughts, and Andy’s eyes fly open. He pushes himself up - ouch, his waist - and fumbles for his phone. As his eyes land on the new message, he can’t help the idiotic smile that blossoms on his face.

Just as he’d wished, it’s Hyesung, saved in his phone as ‘Idiot Jung Pilkyo’. Andy bites his lip from laughing but can’t help the little victory dance he does, right then and there, sitting in bed.

‘wanna get lunch or smth?? im poor n dont have money ;;’

‘I’m not paying for you >:)’, Andy types back, grinning stupidly. ‘Drinks on me, though. We can get wasted.’

Immediately, Hyesung’s typing bubbles pop up, and Andy actually giggles. What the ? He’s turned into a moron, a twelve-year-old girl with a crush!

‘lee sunho just take pity on me for once :”(’, Hyesung begs through text. ‘ive paid for u millions of times now… ur the entire reason im broke’.

Andy can’t help it; he laughs. It’s true, he can’t deny it, but he also knows that if he insists, Hyesung wouldn’t pressure him to pay. After all, maknae bonuses are real. However, Andy thinks back to the last time he’s paid for Hyesung - any of his hyungs, really - and finds that he can’t remember.

‘No, it’s fine :D. I’ll pay for you this once, hyung. Don’t pick anything too expensive~’

Hyesung’s reply is immediate. ‘ill eat expensive if i want u brat ;p payback for all the times u mooched off me’.

Andy’s about to tease back when Hyesung says, ‘i need to get ready now, c u’, and Andy can’t help the disappointment dragging his heart down to his stomach. Fortunately, it’s already about ten o’clock, and it won’t be long until noon. Plus, it gives him ample time to get ready - to calm his heart - before going to wherever the Hyesung wants to go.

Andy peeks at his phone again. Nope, Hyesung hasn’t texted again. He sighs dramatically and finally rolls out of bed. No use looking like a mess, right?

;PPP hyesung's going to get revengeeee~~ also omg i've been wondering: do you think they got used to calling him hyesung even offstage? because i feel like 'shin hyesung' fits him better than 'jung pilkyo', but that's just my humble opinion ;P
