"Seonghwa hyung, have you seen Hongjoongie hyung?"

"No, I don't think he's back yet. Why pup?" Seonghwa says as he looks over to Yunho from his phone while laying on his bed.

"It's late, we have an early schedule tomorrow. Hongjoongie hyung should be resting right now." mumbled Yunho while pouting and standing near the bed.

Seonghwa softly sigh nodded his head agreeing that their leader should be resting rather than locking himself in his studio every night but everyone knew that Hongjoong won't be easily persuaded to come back home early and rest.

"Do you think if I go and pick him up he will come home and rest? I'm worried.. Hyung keeps locking himself there nearly everyday for the past two weeks.." says Yunho, still pouting with his big puppy eyes facing Seonghwa.

"I don't know pup.. But if you want to try then go ahead. Be careful and if he doesn't want it then come home right away and rest okay?" says Seonghwa and Yunho nods his head before he walks out of the room and goes into his own room.

Yunho put on a hoodie, grabbed his wallet and phone before heading out of the dorm to go to Hongjoong's studio.

--

"Hyung?"

Hongjoong who is focusing on the track that he is working on pauses the music as he swirls his chair towards the door with his head tilting a bit to the side. He can only see Yunho's head as the taller peeking it inside of his studio before he nods at Yunho and Yunho emerges in his full height.

"What are you doing here? It's late." says Hongjoong as he swirls his chair back and plays the music that he had been working on, his fingers dancing on the keyboard.

Yunho pouts as Hongjoong disregard him in seconds after asking him a question. Yunho had both of his hands on his waist and gives Hongjoong an exasperated sigh. "Tell that to yourself hyung. I'm here to drag you back. We have an early schedule tomorrow and I want you to at least sleep for a few hours."

"I'll go back home later. You go ahead first Yunho ah, I need to finish this." says Hongjoong without even turning to look at the tall pouty puppy behind him.

The studio became silent. Hongjoong thought that yunho heard him and left but apparently, the puppy is still there standing behind him while narrowing his eyes at the music track in Hongjoong's computer so he nearly screeches in surprise when two arms suddenly appear on his both sides as he falls forward a bit.

Hongjoong is about to talk when he sees Yunho had saved his track and closes the apps before closing his computer all in one motion in a matter of seconds and he can only sit there with his mouth wide open.

"Wha-? Yunho! I was going to finish that!" says Hongjoong as his brows bumped together in a scowl. Yunho stay silent as he swirl Hongjoong's chair so the older would facing him properly before getting to the couch and retrieve Hongjoong's jacket and going back to the still shocked leader in the chair.

"Stand up. We're going home. Now." says Yunho sternly, his own brows is creased in a frown and his jaws clenched and Hongjoong swallowed nervously. ATEEZ rarely get to see this side of Yunho and if Yunho shows it, then you must've done something terribly wrong but Hongjoong is known to be stubborn and won't back down easily so he cross his arms over his chest looking up at Yunho.

"What part of 'I need to finish this' that you don't understand? Do you want to delay our comeback Yunho ah? I told you I will be going back later didn't I?" Hongjoong huff before trying to turn his chair towards his computer so he can open it again.

Keyword, try.

Yunho had put his foot somewhere under the chair that forbade it from moving around because he already knew his hyung won't back down easily without a fight. "That can wait until tomorrow hyung. No one is going to delay anyone's comeback. We are on schedule, hyung, you worry too much." "But-" "No. And don't try to guilt trip me or something. I've already asked Eden ssaem before coming here and he says that everything is already on the supposed place and will be done in no time so there's no excuse hyung."

Hongjoong huff and Yunho deflate, shoulders slumped, his head drooping low to his chest, his brows in a frown and his lips in a pout and if Hongjoong sees his lower lips wobbles, he doesn't say anything.

"Please.. hyung.. Please get some rest.. I'm worried... We're worried... Everything is going smoothly already... Please please please get some rest... Please..." says Yunho softly and he had unintentionally make his most kicked puppy face ever and Hongjoong melt right away. Sighing, Hongjoong pat Yunho's thigh as he stand up and took the jacket from Yunho's hand and wears it before he grab his backpack near his working table.

"You're lucky you're my favourite dongsaeng pup. Let's go." says Hongjoong and Yunho is quick to grab Hongjoong's hand and intertwine it with his, his face broke into a toothy smile as Hongjoong looks up at him with a slight glare. "Just for precaution, if you decide to run away from me or something." says Yunho as he bounces a bit, happy that he gets to drag their leader home today to rest.

"Brat."

"I'm your favourite though."

"Shut up or I will change it in no time."

Yunho smack his lips close but he still didn't let go of his leader's hand as they walked home in a comfortable silence.
