Taller
Very Very GoodJiho is passively walking by when he hears the group at the computer, turning and sneaking up from behind and wondering what they were laughing about. He's about to surprise them when he actually hears what they're saying, "look at how short you are compared to Jiho!" and sees them point at the screen before throwing their heads back and laughing.
He also sees Taeil huff and frown and shrivel into himself.
He decides that's enough. He claps loudly, catching their attention, before putting his hands heavily on their shoulders.
"Don't you guys have somewhere to be right now?" They can see the murder in his eyes and hear it in his tone of voice, and quickly scatter.
Taeil alone is left, still frowning at the screen - at the whole head of difference between the two of them.
"Yah, hyung, you know it's not that big of a deal, right?" Taeil just shrugs. Jiho wraps his arms around him.
"It would be weird if you were taller. It's not that exciting anyway." Taeil shakes his head.
"I just wish they'd shut up about it, y'know?" Jiho hums acknowledgingly.
"I'll show them how scary leader can be later. That should whip them into shape." They both laugh a little and Taeil can feel the tension leaking out of him. Jiho rests his cheek on the top of his head, hugging him tightly.
"If you were any taller, we wouldn't fit together so perfectly." and in that moment, he can cope with being so small.
