Everything was going fine. The team was in a good mood and they were all having fun together. They were on vacation, sort of. They had gone to the countryside but unfortunately, they still had to have filming so it wasn't a full vacation.
Wooyoung had been messing around with Jongho, having fun and playing. Sometimes he would take it too far but once he knew that he was, Wooyoung stopped. Jongho didn't like that he was being pestered and his bad mood was only getting worse. He tried to remain calm and not ruin their semi-vacation but he couldn't help it. Wooyoung was testing his patience.
Though it wasn't the second maknae that finally caused Jongho to snap. It was the oldest.
"Jongho, Wooyoung, Mingi! Come inside please, we're getting ready to eat" Seongwha peeked outside. Most of the others had gone in already, tired from swimming or whatever they had been doing outside. Wooyoung tossed the beach ball he was playing with to the side and climbed out of the pool, followed by Mingi. Jongho didn't move.
"Jongho, let's go please" Seongwha repeated. He had picked up on the youngest's bad mood and warned everyone of it, giving Wooyoung a small lecture for bothering their maknae.
"I'll be in soon. Give me a minute" Jongho responded, but still didn't move. Seongwha did give him a moment even if he didn't leave.
"Maknae, let's go. Last chance" Seongwha repeated more firmly after the silence stretched.
"I said I'll be in soon!" Jongho grabbed the closest thing to him and hurled it at the oldest. Seongwha watched the ball bounce back against the wall, not amused. In terms of having things thrown at him, this was not the worst time but he still didn't appreciate it.
"Right. Inside now, and you can just go straight to your room. I'll have someone bring you dinner once you've calmed down" Seongwha moved to let the maknae through, rolling his eyes when Jongho stormed past.
"Jongho! Come sit next to me" San waved the maknae over. Jongho shot him a dirty look and ran off upstairs, slamming the door to his room.
"What's his problem?" San wondered, looking at Seongwha as the oldest sat down.
"Threw a ball at me so I sent him to his room" Seongwha took his seat, hiding a smile at the current situation. It was kind of funny to him now. He had no idea what Jongho planned on achieving through throwing a plastic beach ball at him.
"What...?" Hongjoong was barely holding back his own laughter. Soon, all of them were laughing.
"I'm so glad you guys found my misery something to laugh about" Jongho interrupted, crossing his arms. The laughter stopped in a second and everyone stared at him.
"I thought I told you to go upstairs" Seongwha frowned at the youngest. Jongho shrugged and walked over to the pan of food. Seongwha got up to stop him.
"I was hungry" He scooped some of food onto a plate but Seongwha smacked his hand, making him drop the spoon of food.
"I said I would send someone up to bring you food" The oldest reminded his youngest member. Jongho rolled his eyes, surprising everyone. Seongwha's face darkened and he frowned at the maknae.
"Watch your attitude. I'll bring you food if your hungry but you do not disobey me. We've taught you better than that" Seongwha forcefully took the plate from Jongho, who snatched it back, glaring at the oldest.
"I can get my own food" He gritted his teeth and turned back to the pan of food. Seongwha had enough. He took the plate and set it down then grabbed Jongho's arm and pulled him upstairs to the oldests' room that he and Hongjoong were sharing.
"I don't know what your problem is, but it stops now!" Seongwha scolded, spanking the younger. Jongho clenched his teeth, refusing to make any sound and show how much this was really hurting him.
"We're supposed to be on vacation! We're supposed to be relaxing so why aren't you?" Seongwha wondered.
"We're not on vacation! We never are. This is still work, everywhere we go, it's work! Don't you understand that?" Jongho responded shortly.
"Today was work! Hongjoong and I talked to the manager and he agreed that we needed a break but it came with a price. We had to work today and he was going to give us two weeks off to spend here. We were going to surprise the rest of you with the news tonight" Seongwha explained. Jongho was overcome with guilt upon hearing that. He had messed up.
"Oh" He muttered, feeling bad now. Seongwha could sense the change in behavior, but that didn't mean it was over.
"I was just stressed, hyung. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I'm sorry I didn't listen and threw the ball at you" Jongho apologized, hiding his face.
"That was actually kind of funny but I don't want you acting out in anger anymore. And when I tell you to do something, you do not disobey me just because you feel like it" Seongwha responded, a small smile lighting up his face.
"Yeah, I know. I was angry and I wanted to prove that I was old enough to not be treated like a kid anymore" Jongho sighed.
"We're all kids. Me and Hongjoong are never going to stop treating you guys like our kids because you are. Heck, even him and I can go at each other sometimes and act childish and that's okay. We're here to pull each other back when that happens" Seongwha admitted. He knew that even as the oldest, he could sometimes act like the maknae and he felt bad for it. Yet no one pointed this out and just went with it. So if it was okay for him, the oldest, to be childish than it was okay for the youngest too.
"Yeah, we got a pretty great group" Jongho laughed. He didn't even notice that Seongwha had bared him until the first sharp swat landed on bare skin.
"ow" He hung his head. Seongwha continued, watching his strength for when things became too much. When Jongho started crying, he stopped and ran a hand over the maknae's back.
"You did so good, I am so proud of you, baby" Seongwha showered his youngest with love, sitting Jongho on his lap. The two of them stayed in that position for a long time before going back to join the others, who were still at the table. There was a freshly made plate of food at Seongwha's seat.
Jongho tried to separate himself from the oldest and sit down to eat but Seongwha pulled him onto his lap and held him there, letting the youngest eat. No one commented on how Seongwha was basically feeding their maknae, instead just finding it adorable.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Hongjoong interrupted, with a stern tone. Jongho blushed and looked down.
"I am sorry for ruining our vacation. It won't happen again" Jongho apologized to the others and then a mischievous grin spread over his face and he looked at Hongjoong.
"Isn't there anything you want to say to the others, captain? About our vacation?" Jongho hinted. Seongwha burst out laughing and Hongjoong understood then.
"What's he talking about?" Wooyoung turned to their captain. Hongjoong leaned back in his chair.
"Well, we had some work to do today but the manager convinced our CEO to let us take the next two weeks off and spend them here. We have nothing to do or worry about so, as long as you all behave, we can enjoy this time" Hongjoong explained. It was silent for two seconds before squeals of excitement and laughter filled the air and the kids happily chatted about what they were going to do with their time.
Seongwha turned back to Jongho when he noticed that the youngest had stopped eating only to realize that he was asleep. Seongwha smiled and tucked loose strands of hair behind Jongho's ear, content in just sitting there and letting his maknae sleep.
