Chapter Text
"Would you just listen?" Seonghwa's hands flew away from his own face and he paced in front of Hongjoong, "He's hanging out with those idiots and now he has a broken arm. Do you seriously not see the problem?" Hongjoong leaned back on his arms, sat on the bed and watching Seonghwa.
"No, I do see the problem. But he's a kid still, Seonghwa. He's going to do stupid things. Let him live a little." Seonghwa groaned and was tempted to slam his head into the wall. Hongjoong stood up, going to pull Seonghwa in for a hug to try and calm him down. Seonghwa swatted him away and backed up a little, "Hwa.."
"I would let him live a little if he wasn't the oldest out of five children. He needs to at least not smoke it in the house or go out doing stupid shit that the youngest ones can see." Hongjoong could see the slight bit of hurt in Seonghwa's eyes, just barely hearing the worry in his voice.
"Ok. Ok, I'll talk to him." Hongjoong left the room to go find Yunho, Seonghwa staying where he was in their bedroom. He pulled his phone from his back pocket, checking the time. He let out a groan and let his head fall back, putting his phone back in his pocket. He stayed still for a few seconds then finally stood up and going to Yunho's room. Hongjoong knocked on Yunho's door just to be met with silence except for the door unlocking. He waited a few seconds before walking in, Yunho laying on his bed with a pillow resting on his face, "Yunho." The teen didn't respond, "Yunho, we need to talk."
Yunho sat up and the pillow fell onto the floor, "What? Are you going to yell at me too?" Hongjoong shut the door and leaned against it, his hands folded across his chest.
"No. I'm not going to yell at you." Yunho rolled his eyes and fell backwards on his bed, "Look, you're a teenager. You're going to do stupid things. Your dad and I did dumb things as a teenager so we're not exactly innocent either. Things happen."
"Yeah, you both did the stupidest thing ever and had me." Yunho rolled onto his stomach, careful of his broken wrist, his face buried in the mattress.
"Yunho you know that's not true. If anything, you're a blessing to us both. One we didn't know we needed at the time." Yunho stayed silent, "He's just worried about you. He doesn't... He just wants you to set a better example for your siblings. Specifically, the triplets."
"Yeah. Whatever you guys say." His voice was muffled but Hongjoong still heard him. Hongjoong could tell Yunho just wanted to be left alone so he left, shutting the door behind him once again.
