Bobby yawned as he ruffled his bed hair and sat on his mattress while being cocooned in his blankets. He was staring listlessly into nothing, but the way his stomach grumbled and demanded to be fed kind of woke him up.
Jiwon sighed as he stumbled over his stuff, and he threw a final look to his room, "You and I are going to fight for dominance. It's either you get dirtier or I could finally sweep you clean and see the poor floor for once!" Bobby threateningly pointed to his room before heading to the kitchen.
He sure was talking gibberish first thing in the morning, and oh you can't believe that he was actually aware of his weird antics.
Jiwon let out a second yawn, spotting the mat-hyung in the kitchen. "Wow, somebody woke up early today."
Jinhwan nodded his head in the younger direction, then reverted to his original position fixing a tea. Bobby raised one of his eyebrows, "Didn't sleep well?" However, that only made the older irritated. He scoffed at Bobby and retreated to the couch in the living room. Jiwon sighed and shook his head in disappointment and went back to finding the ingredients for his breakfast.
He was craving scrambled egg, licking his lips in excitement as he started smelling the food on the pan. A grin formed on his lips as he slipped his feast on the plate. Bobby hummed happily, and he placed his plate next to the warm tea.
Bobby smiled at the frowning hyung, his lips quirked a bit down at the damp mood the older was in. However, he knew he shouldn't take the offensive attitude personally. The older has these kind of mood swings every now and then, but today it seemed like it was worse than the previous ones.
Jiwon tried to ease the tension, "Hey, what got your panties in a twist."
One thing that Bobby didn't calculate; he was not the best person at being tactful.
At that, the older's frown deepened, 'oops!' bad choice of words. "Didn't mean to offend you, hyung." The older sighed and gritted his teeth, "It's not like you see me as one."
Bobby choked on his egg, "Huh?" Jinhwan bit his lips and glared at the younger, "Don't try to comfort me when you don't mean it!"
"What the hell, hyung? Just what is going on?"
Jinhwan stood up suddenly causing the tea to spill on both of them. It burnt bobby's wrist and Jinhwan leg. Thankfully, the mat-hyung wore pants that were long enough to avoid any potential burns. Bobby hissed in pain as he felt his skin getting scalded. However, he jumped to the aid of his hyung who was clutching his thigh in pain.
"Hyung, you okay?!" He shouted in concern, but that only made Jinhwan snap at him. He slapped the reaching hand and erupted, "I don't need those fake concerns, and just get the hell out of my face."
"Hey, Hey calm down! What the hell set you off? Have you gone back to reading those shitty comments about you."
Jinhwan bit his lips and backed off, and his eyes started tearing. Jiwon sighed and placed a comforting hand on the older shoulders. "I'm sorry," the younger sighed, "We told you many times that you shouldn't pay attention to these comments,"
"If you were not part of the group, I would not have been cursed like that!" Jinhwan bit back. At that bobby stiffened, losing his smile. He couldn't bring himself to smile at the mat-hyung, this was going too far.
"What the hell did you just say..."
The younger felt himself losing his patience. Jinhwan seemed taken aback by what he said, but he didn't have the courage to apologize.
"Isn't it true I seem incompetent in this group, while you have a solid place in this band, just why the hell does a band need two rappers. Hanbin is more enough to rap for the group." This was the last alarm that went off in bobby's head.
Jiwon shouted in anger, "If you feel that you don't have a place in the band, then you should make a place for you. If you feel that you lack in some areas, then work harder. It's not like I found my place in iKON without working hard!"
Jinhwan slapped his dongsaeng's face hard, and it was a natural reflex for the younger to grab the older's collar. Raising his hand and balling it into fists, but he didn't have the will to break their bond that was built up by years of tears, sweat, and hard work.
Jinhwan's tears long ago had spilled, and my dear readers what would you think if the other members saw this scene. Who would be in the wrong in their eyes? Junhoe and Donghyuk woke up to the sound of the two hyungs shouting.
Donghyuk was shook when he saw his bunny hyung raising his hand on one of their members; moreover, it was Jinhwan of all people. Junhwe was fast to respond, while the other called the leader hastily.
"Hyung, what the hell are you doing?!" Junhoe was fast to separate the hyungs. He stood in front of Jinhwan, "Hyung you are double Jinhwan hyung's size; you would kill him just by punching him!" Oh believe Jiwon when he says that was the longest sentence June had said to him.
Donghyuk fetched his phone, and he dialed the leader. The drowsy voice was heard through the phone, "Donghyukaaaaah, we have practice in two hou-"
"HYUNG, please come down! Bobby and Jinhwan-hyung are fighting!"
"HUH? What, ok wait a sec, I'm coming right now." With that the phone call ended, and Dongdong rushed to the living room in fear of the fight escalating. However, the only scene he came to was the oldest member crying and shoving his face between the giant's shoulders blade.
Donghyuk bit his lips nervously and went to his favorite hyung. Slowly, he held his hands to calm Bobby down. The older opened his mouth to speak, but Donghyuk was faster, "Hyung, please calm down. Violence is not the right answer whenever you get angry." The younger tried to talk some sense into the older's mindset. However, that made his eyes dimmer and added the fuel to his temper.
"Not you too" Jiwon mumbled under his breath, but Donghyuk heard him. The older swatted away the rude hand and glared harder at him. "Oh no you don't! I'm not taking this shit anymore." Donghyuk stepped away, and he stood beside Junhoe. Clearly hurt by the way his hyung treated him. "Jinhwan hyung, instead of hiding behind the others, how about facing your problems straight ahead for once! Must be fun to have somebody protect you and be the good guy in every damn situation."
Jinhwan flinched at the statement, Junhoe curled his hands to fists, "Hyung that-"
"Kim Jiwon, you have gone too far!" the commanding voice that filled the room made them flinch. Hanbin entered the living room obviously fuming with anger at the disrespect directed to the oldest member.

Want me to continue it?
