TAG: seungkwan asks vernon his rank among the members of seventeen, broadcasted on live tv.

yes i did write it in the end

•••

it's always been like this. seungkwan has always been concerning himself over rankings between members. not to put anyone else down, but to find comfort for himself. he and hansol sit down to watch their show.

it's not a surprise when the topic eventually comes up on the show he and hansol were on. variety likes to ask stupid questions. the question was targetted to hansol, "where do you rank seungkwan among the members?"

naturally, tv-hansol was flustered. he sits here now, dumbfounded that variety can ask stupid things like that. some people make empty threats to others without even knowing how full they are.

tv-seungkwan looks at hansol expectantly, nerves running high. the seungkwan next to him slouches against the arm rest, sock covered feet pressing into hansol's thigh.

hansol shakes his head as some jokes play on the tv before an answer was given.

he opens his instagram, snapping a picture of the floor and his shoes with the story camera. he looks for a specific song, positioning it right in the middle. he smiles to himself at how cheesy this is. but its all for seungkwan anyway. 'No.1', it reads. the cover art is an alluring purple, the fake music waves bouncing while his phone is set to mute.

"you never answered that question."

seungkwan mumbles from the other end. hansol makes a noise. the show moves on without looking back to the question. as if it meant nothing.

"i don't have to," hansol hits 'Add to Story'.
