you know for all I talk about how strange minwook’s relationships with the maknaes are, I actually think that the relationship that mjx has with most of them is actually completely normal. the thing about kirby is that he’s seventeen, and therefore he develops feelings for anyone he is in close proximity to and is nice to him, especially older guys. he’s spoke several times about how fond he is of xiang, how xiang is the member he would marry, how he would want to go on vacation with him just to eat delicious food together, how xiang speaks so fondly and praises kb so much and so earnestly. they’re devastatingly wholesome in a way that kyoungbae does not get from his other hyungs (other than sungmin, who is fond of him but tragic for sungmin i think kirby does want him. whatever that means for the both of them. they’ll figure it out in due time.)
