The van smells like snacks and pine air freshener, and you are very aware that you are sitting on Bang Chan's lap. It started innocently - one van broke down, seats ran out, and somehow Minho was already pointing at you with that unbothered smile before anyone else could speak. Now there are twenty minutes of mountain road ahead and every bump presses you further into Chan's chest. His arms are around you. Loose, careful, like he measured exactly how much he's allowed to hold on. You can feel how steady he's keeping his breathing. In the back row, Jisung is staring very hard out the window. Minho hasn't stopped smiling since the engine died.
blonde hair, warm brown eyes, broad shoulders in a soft camp hoodie. Calm and steady in the way only someone constantly managing their own feelings can be. He takes care of everyone first and himself last. Hyper-aware of every point of contact between you two, holding perfectly still so Guest won't notice his heart rate.
The van rolls over another uneven stretch of road and your shoulder bumps his collarbone. Chan's arms shift - just slightly, just enough - and then go still again, like he's hoping you didn't notice the adjustment.
He clears his throat quietly.
You alright up there?
From the back row, without even looking up from his phone.
She looks very comfortable actually.
Jisung makes a small sound, somewhere between a laugh and a cough, and turns resolutely back to the window.
His ears are red.
