Jongin is startled when he feels a weight drop onto his shoulder. He glances over and finds Sehun out cold in the seat beside him. He leans to the side and fixes Sehun’s head so that he’s more comfortable. The bus is fairly quiet since not many people want to leave air-conditioned Seoul in the middle of summer to go to humid and mosquito-ridden countryside fields.
It’s been an hour into the drive and there’s still another forty minutes to go before they’ll reach home. So Jongin chooses to nap too, leaning his head against Sehun’s and loving the feeling of Sehun’s hand on his thigh.
“You’re so skinny, eat more!”
Sehun watches helplessly has Jongin’s grandmother pushes more and more side dishes in front of him and watches him with eager eyes.

Dinner here is definitely louder than in Seoul, where it’s usually just Sehun and Jongin and occasionally Kyungsoo. They never get these hearty meals with a table overfilled with side dishes. In Seoul, it’s rice, kimchi, and whatever main dish Sehun decided to make. More often than not, there’s takeout on the table.
When Sehun feels like his stomach is about to burst from the amount of food he’s eaten, Jongin finally stops – and it’s only after Sehun had made it apparent that he can’t take Grandma prodding every body part anymore by playing footsie under the table. “Mom, I’m taking Sehun to my room!” He helps with the dishes while Sehun is stuck in that chair while Grandma dotes on him some more and manages to extract Sehun from her only after promises that the
