There's a bit of NSFW content in this, but it's not what I would consider full on smut maybe... light smut? If that worries you you've been warned. Enjoy!
This is also a lot longer than I expected it to be. ('~`)

It isn't a secret, nor is it hard to see, that Kihyun wasn't exactly very comfortable with a lot of skinship. It wasn't really his fault, he's always been that way; being so touchy-feely was not how he was raised, nor did he ever develop the attribute by himself. It's not like he was completely disgusted when someone would touch him, but a lot of the time when it came to things like cuddling, hugging, kissing, or anything bit more extreme he felt uncomfortable.

This troubled him... he wanted to show his love and appreciation through physical assurance, but he either couldn't bring himself to do it, or it would just end awkwardly, so he decided its best not to even try. Of course he wanted to be as affectionate as the other members of Monsta X, even if he'd never admit it, it was something he was self conscious about. Sometimes he'd see them being so comfortable with each other and he'd feel a sadness creep into his chest, he tried to hide it though.

Recently however he expressed how he wished he were more comfortable with it.

This caused minhyuk to respond, "That's okay Kihyunie, we understand. You're just not like that."

This caused the others to agree, and though he appreciated their acceptance and understanding he still found himself frowning a bit.

Shownu noticed this but decided to keep silent... He wondered what he could do to help is fellow member feel better about the whole situation...

"Hey Shownu-hyung." Kihyun greeted with a small smile as he walked into their room. The group were currently on tour and they had drawn each other as roomies for at least apart of the trip. He casually sat next to him on one of the beds. "What are you doing?"

"Reviewing our dance practice." Shownu responded not looking up from his laptop.

"Trying to pride yourself over being such a better dancer than us?" Kihyun asked teasingly, pinching the older's arm muscle.

Shownu flinched only slightly rubbing his arm. "I'm not a better dancer than all of you."

Kihyun let out a large annoyed sigh at their leader. "Don't lie." He squeezed his arm again a bit harder this time, laughing a bit as Shownu finally looked at him and gently punched his hand away.

It's not like the pinching really hurt all that much, Kihyun and the other members did it all the time, it was more just like an annoying itch at this point.

Kihyun smirked evilly, pinching the same again after a few seconds.

Shownu rolled his eyes but then suddenly had an idea and smiled very slightly waiting for Kihyun to pinch him again. When he did, the older put his laptop aside and grabbed Kihyun by his wrists, pulling him off the edge of the bed and pinning him against the wall nearby.

Kihyun wasn't expecting the sudden and very fast action. He looked up at Shownu with wide eyes, but didn't try to free his wrists. He didn't even say anything.

Shownu couldn't help but let a slight smug smile tug at his usually calm and cool expression. "You should respect your Hyung Kihyun." He scolded slightly. "Or as the leader I may have to punish you." Of course he was teasing him, after all even though he was better than Kihyun, he wasn't much for skinship either. But if he could at least maybe get Kihyun used to being touched, maybe he wouldn't feel so bad about himself. He leaned his head down toward Kihyun, brushing their foreheads together lightly.
