“Hyung, can you teach me how to drive?”

Hongbin stops at the maknae’s request. The rest of the boys are rushing to get ready to head to their studio while the two youngest sit at the table and share a cup of coffee. He was just about to let a spoon full of honey drizzle into the steaming cup. Keep the drizzle nice and steady, that’s how Wonshik taught him.

Instead, the abrupt request causes the visual’s wrist to go limp. A large portion of the honey splashing into the cup causes some to spill.

When Hongbin doesn’t reply Sanghyuk goes on, “I’m the only one that doesn’t know how to drive and I’m well past the age of learning!” He takes the responsibility, no, the burden of cleaning up the mess Hongbin created.

“You want me to teach you how to drive?” Hongbin’s spoon still suspended in the air, honey long removed from the spoon. Most definitely in an uneven matter.

“Well, yeah, you’re the last one to get your license, right?” Sanghyuk takes the still suspended spoon and stirs the coffee for the older boy, “who better to teach me than the most recently taught?”

The request not only swells Hongbin’s heart, but his head as well. Of course, why shouldn’t he be able to pass down a valuable life skill to his beloved maknae?

The boys turn at the sound of Wonshik leaving their dressing room and re-enter their bedroom.

“I could always ask Wonshik I suppose.” Sanghyuk casts his eyes towards the door, knowing Hongbin’s gears are already turning.

“No! No,” Hongbin stands and rests his hands on Sanghyuk’s shoulders, “I’d love to teach you how to drive.”

“Great! Thank you so much, hyung.” Sanghyuk stands and bows a full 90 degrees, causing Hongbin’s head to swell even more.

“I’m going to go tell our manager we need a separate car. I’ll drive us to practice!”

Sanghyuk remains bent until he hears Hongbin close the door to their manager’s bedroom.

“Sanghyuk, what are you doing?” Hakyeon walks in with his own cup of coffee in his hands.

“Hongbin Hyung is going to teach me how to drive.”

Hakyeon chokes on his coffee.

“Good luck.”
