"I've never had a hyung. I am the hyung. I'm a good hyung." Namjoon insisted stubbornly, looking off elsewhere. "That's what I have to be. For Tae. He's sensitive, he needs me." He fell apart so easily. He cried earlier today, he heard him when he came to visit and when he tried to comfort him, he was almost shutting down again. he wanted to make Tae happy and he kept making it worse.
"He likes music and he's a dick to me but he -- I don't know, maybe he actually likes me?" It was weird, that didn't happen. "People never like me." He knew Jin didn't, he didn't blame him, he set out to make him hate him. That was safer. "Dad always said no one likes a know-it-all. Especially not one like me."
"You can be a hyung and still have hyungs." Jin thought that was a simple enough concept, but apparently it wasn't that way for Namjoon. Not surprising, given everything, but he still had to mention it. "You can be strong for Tae and have someone who looks after you anyway."
In Jin's opinion, he needed a lot of people that would look after him. He needed different circumstances and maybe he'd stand a chance. Even now still. "Sounds like you've found someone who likes you and cares about you. Is that really so bad, Namjoon-ah?"
