First Date With SEVENTEEN

[Hyung Line]

S.Coups Right from day one, he wanted you to know that he’s someone you can depend on. So when he asked you out to go hiking, he made sure to match his pace with yours and offer a hand whenever you seemed to need it (rarely, actually, but he just wanted to show his gentlemanly side). If you had to catch your breath, he’d pause with you and ask if you’re okay, offering you some water. Once you reached the peak, he set up a picnic (complete with snacks he prepared himself - they were far from perfect, but you appreciated the effort), and you spent the rest of the day getting to know each other more, while admiring the fantastic view from above.

Jeonghan Jeonghan loves visiting cafés, so he’ll most probably take you to one on your first date. You’d pick a spot by the window, where the soft sunlight touches his face, making him glow like the angel that he is (or so you think). You'll notice that he gets a bit too enthusiastic whenever he tells you about a fond memory, which is really endearing to see. You’ll spend hours chatting and chatting, but you wouldn’t notice the time passing. Just as you’re about to leave the café and call it a day with a promise to meet again, an unexpected light drizzle begins falling from the sky. Both of you don’t have an umbrella, and you let out a low chuckle at your small misfortune. Thinking of a quick solution, Jeonghan takes off his jacket and holds it over you for cover. “Let me walk with you.”

Joshua This guy is beyond refined, so you weren’t surprised when he told you that he signed up for a wine tasting session for couples at a top wine bar in the city. The event was very social, with high-profile pairs mingling here and there, but you and Joshua… well, you were in a world of your own. He’d usually take a sip before you do, and you’d watch his eyes widen whenever he liked what he tasted. “Oh my God, you gotta try this,” he’d tell you, and you’d take a sip from your own glass of the same wine. The boy’s got an impeccable taste—that you can’t deny. When you told him that you liked it, too, he’d get a rush of excitement, and say “I knew you would!” with that smile of his that you can stare at forever. Sure, he had a flair of sophistication, but he was also incredibly down-to-earth, and you simply loved that about him.

Jun A total foodie, Jun crafted an itinerary (eatinerary) based on his gastronomic discoveries. Yes, you’re going on a food crawl on your first date, and if you’re on a diet, he will totally wreck it! From hot pots and dumplings to spicy noodles and stir-fried dishes, he knows exactly where to get the best Chinese food wherever you are. He's handsome but doesn't mind getting messy and stuffing his face with food. In fact, he thinks you find it funny (and tbh, you do). Not to mention, with the way he's treating you to the best food around, you can tell that he'd take care of you for real.

Hoshi Hoshi is a dancer... who LOVES to sing, so a first date at a noraebang was something you kinda expected already. You'd start with fun karaoke classics, singing duets and songs that just put you in a good mood. He would then encourage you to sing your favourite song, and while you aren't as good as he is, he'd praise you like crazy. "Are you kidding me? You sound incredible!" He'd say when you'd apologise for singing a bit out of tune. Of course, he'd also bust some moves while belting out, especially when he finally entered the codes for what you'd later find out are SHINee tracks. Is he the sixth member of SHINee or what???

Wonwoo For your first date with Wonwoo, you agreed to meet him at a retro arcade. Once you'd stepped inside, you'd see his eyes light up at the sight of rows and rows of games that transported you back to your childhood. He'd suggest some to you, but he really wanted to know what you want to play, too. You'd play a set or two of air hockey then move on to play Tekken. During the first few rounds, he would let you win on purpose, but then he'd realise that you are ACTUALLY good at it and he'd step up his game. It's all friendly competition, though, with some teasing here and there. For the last game, you agreed on a challenge: The loser treats the winner to ramen and cider. It's not much of a reward, but it got you excited enough. In the end, he lost to you (K.O!), and you get your ramen, which you shared with him anyway coz how can you not??? Wonwoo is adorable AF. Before you left, he handed you a stuffed Pokémon, which he got from one of the claw machines. "Thanks. I really had fun today," you told him. "Same," he smiled, adding, “Though, I’m looking forward to a rematch.”  

Woozi Woozi is not the type who'd go out, even on a date, so he'd invite you over to his place. After having some pizza (and lots of Coca-Cola) while switching from one movie to another on the TV, he'd take you on a mini tour of his studio and show you a bit of what he does when he's coming up with a new track. He would talk so passionately about composition and writing, throwing in jargons you don't quite understand, but still, you'd make sure to listen to every word he said. If this date meant him talking all day long, you wouldn't really mind, because you love a man who loves what he does, and in a way, it inspires you to do better at what you chose to pursue. To make the date more memorable, you'd write a song together and try recording it. The track wouldn't be exactly something that would come out on the radio. It's just so he could give you a better glimpse of his creative process. Just before you’d turn to leave, he'd slip the demo in your hand and say, "Hopefully, this song would be the first of many with you."

Hiding. Part 45a (NSFW)

Cowritten with @disastrousintention. Author note - contains a flashback scene.

-x-

Duffy yawned as she looked up from the computer screen and tried to focus her eyes on the clock. 2.46am. She'd been unable to sleep so she'd snuck downstairs to try and finish her assignment. The table around her was littered in books and papers. Her eyes were growing heavier by the second and she couldn't help resting her head on one of the books and closing her eyes.

Charlie had woken briefly and frowned noticing the bed beside him was empty. Where the hell was she? He figured she’d be downstairs, probably working on her assignment but went down to check. Finding her asleep on her pile of books, Charlie placed the blanket around her shoulders and tucked her up.

She woke up a little while later, confused as to where the blanket had come from. As she moved the muscles in her neck and back complained loudly.

Charlie and the children were just coming downstairs at the time she woke.

"What time is it?" Duffy mumbled, rubbing her eyes.

“7am.” He replied.

She looked at the computer and sighed. "I was hoping to have gotten more done than that." She grumbled.

“Hey! You’ve done amazing! Don’t beat yourself up, please.”

She tried to stand up but her back really didn't like the idea. She leant heavily against the table edge.

“Is your back giving you jip?”

"I'm too old and fat to be sleeping in chairs." She muttered grumpily.

“Old maybe yes. Fat you are certainly not!”

"Hmm." Though it had been a few weeks they hadn't yet told the children the news.

“You’re not fat!” He sighed, “You’re growing a baby!”

She glared at him. "Keep your voice down!" She hissed.

He sighed, “We need to tell them at some point.”

"I know, but not yet."

He nodded, “But soon?”

"I know I can't keep it a secret much longer."

“Maybe we can tell people after our scan?”

"OK. If half the department hasn't guessed by then!"

“Has anyone said anything to you?”

"I've heard a few whispers about the fact I've gained weight."

“Who’s said that?!”

"We both know what young nurses are like for gossiping." She sighed. "I haven't been as sick this time so that's making a difference."

“You know I love your pregnancy curves anyway. More skin for me to kiss, lick and suck.” He grinned, “Not to mention all the other bonuses.” He paused for a second, “He’s definitely a he then?”

"I was certainly a lot more sick with the girls, that's for sure!"

“Yeah you were.”

"Have you heard anything or does everyone just think I've gotten fat?"

“I haven’t heard anything.” He replied.

"Great!" She sighed, rolling her eyes. She caught sight of the clock. "Shit! I need to get ready for work!"

“Relax. The boss isn’t in, you can’t get into trouble.” He reassured.

"I know coz she's stood here having a disagreement with her husband!"

“I wouldn’t say it was a disagreement.”

"Well you're preventing me from getting ready to leave..." She chuckled.

“Go and get ready.” He smiled.

Several minutes later she came back down dressed in fresh clothes, her uniform draped over her arm. She began to gather her books and laptop into her bag to take with her.

By now the girls were sat around the table, waiting for breakfast. They said goodbye to their mum and gave her a kiss. “Love you mummy.” They called. Charlie smiled, kissing Duffy softly, “Don’t work too hard gorgeous. Have a good day.” His hand discreetly squeezed her bottom.

She winked at him. "I'll try not to but there's a lot to get through today." She sighed.

“Remember to take frequent breaks. I don’t want you hugging the floor.”

"Yes sir!" She mocked.

He rolled his eyes playfully, “Love you.”

"Love you too." She blew him a kiss as she headed out the door.

Every day he counted his blessings on finding someone so beautiful and smart.

It was nearly 10pm before Duffy finally arrived back home. She dropped her bag down the hallway and leant back against the door with a sigh.

Suddenly her phone pinged with a text message from Charlie. It read, 'There’s a bath and bubbles waiting for you. And your favourite dinner in the oven xxx’

She smiled and trudged over to the stairs to take off her shoes. She looked up, debating if she had the energy to walk up to the bathroom.

“I can always carry you up the stairs if need be.” Charlie said from the doorway of the living room.

She squeaked, not realising he was there.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.”

"Aren't you on the early shift tomorrow?"

“I am, for my sins.” He smiled.

"Shouldn't you be in bed already then?"

“Yes but I wanted to wait until you came back.”

"Want to join me for that bath then?" She grinned.

"Maybe..." He grinned.

"Ah the truth reveals itself!" She giggled, holding out her hand towards him.

He smiled brightly and placed his hand in hers.

She groaned as he pulled her to her feet.

“Sore feet?”

"Sore everything." She admitted.

“Need a little massage somewhere?”

"Tempting..! Though don't let me fall asleep." She insisted.

“Why?"

"I still have more work to do."

“You need to relax. It’s been a long day for you!”

"I'm not going to have much time to work on it tomorrow though."

“Please don’t push yourself too hard. I don’t want you to get ill.”

"I won't. I'm only going into the school for a couple of hours tomorrow."

“Promise me?”

"It's only a ten minute presentation and then I'll be sat with the kids answering questions and showing them some of the stuff we work with everyday." She rolled her eyes. "Its a group of four and five year olds - how tough can it be?"

“Probably very tough.” He pointed out, “And hard work.”

"Yes, they're so much harder to deal with compared to drunks and addicts." She rolled her eyes.

“They throw the same amount of tantrums and ask just as many questions.” Charlie answered.

"I think I can tackle your average four year old Charlie!" She laughed.

“I’m not saying you can’t. You can handle everyone!” He replied.

"Then stop fussing and let's go have a bath."

“I’m waiting for you.” He smiled.

"You're the one arguing!" She countered with a laugh.

“Am not.” He pouted.

"The bath is going to be cold at this rate." She remarked as she began to slowly climb the stairs.

“And who’s fault will that be, Mrs Fairhead?”

"Yours?" She shrugged.

“Yours.” He pouted.

She was about to retort when she opened the bathroom door and discovered he'd lit candles and placed fresh towels on the side.

“Do you like it?” He asked.

She tried to speak but burst into tears instead.

He didn’t say anything before he pulled her into a hug.

“What?” He whispered, rubbing her back.

"I need to stop crying at everything!"

“I only lit some candles.” He smiled.

"It was such a sweet thing though." Her bottom lip was starting to tremble again.

“I’ll do anything for you. You know that don’t you?” He pulled away to meet her eye, “Let me go and check the bath is still warm.”

"I swear I wasn't this much of a hormonal wreck last time!"

“With the boys? Or with the girls?"

"Either!" She sighed. "Oh I don't know, maybe I was and I've blocked out the memories." She laughed wryly. "You're determined to try and guess aren't you?"

“Maybe.” He grinned. “Of course! I love guessing!”

"Its going to be a long few months..!" She giggled.

“A very long few months.” He began to undress in the bathroom. “Now are you getting in the bath or..?” He grinned.

She nodded and quickly undressed before stepping into the bath and sliding under the water.

He got in behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, “Your body is beautiful!”

She laid her head back against his chest and sighed as she closed her eyes.

He kissed the top of her head but didn’t say anything.

It didn't take long before she was snoring softly.

He smiled sadly as he heard the snores and for a while just left her to snooze.

She suddenly awoke when Charlie's hands grabbed her as she tried to roll over in her sleep. "Huh?" She mumbled as her face narrowly missed the water.

“You’re in the bath.” He told her. “Come on let’s go to bed.”

"No, I need to eat and do some more work." She argued weakly.

“No you need to sleep. You’re exhausted.”

"I'm fine!"

“Will you just stop arguing for once and listen to me? Please?”

She grumbled as she slowly pushed herself up out of the bath and dragged a towel towards her.

He helped her up and out of the bath. Before he got himself out and draped a towel around him.

"I'm not an invalid!" She muttered under her breath.

He didn’t respond to her comment. He was only trying to help!

She wasn't in the mood to be fussed. She was perfectly capable. She hated being treated like she was fragile or weak.

There was an awkward silence as they went into the bedroom and got themselves ready for bed.

Once changed into her pjs she desperately wanted to go to bed but she also kept thinking about all the other things she needed to get done. She walked towards the door.

“Come to bed, baby?”

"You said there was food in the oven. You're always complaining that I don't eat enough!"

“Shall we have dinner together then?”

"OK." She agreed.

He smiled. They went downstairs and Charlie took the food out of the oven. He’d made her favourite.

Duffy sat on the sofa. They couldn't be bothered with the formality of sitting at the table this late in the evening.
