#i moved mingyu woozi jeonghan joshua around A LOT in this

[hoshifighting]

Yo!!! It's my birthday! Can I get svt members' reactions to yn asking them to suck her tits?

a/n: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!! wish u the best! health, love, peace, success, moeney and lots of achievements ❤️🥳

seungcheol: raises his eyebrows at you with a smirk, looking cocky even though his cheeks are deep red. he leans back, flexes his chest a little, and gives you that look. arches his chest toward you grabbing your hair firmly and making you suck it it, he would throw his head back, moaning on the first lick.

jeonghan: just casually gives a little nod toward his own chest, like “here you go.” practically encouraging you with those lazy eyes, already half expecting you to go for it and enjoying the thrill of making you flustered instead.

joshua: he looks at you with wide eyes, blush creeping up, but instead of shying away, he rolls his shirt up himself and covers his face, chuckling low under his breath. he’s clearly into it but wants to hide his own reaction, letting you have your way while he peeks out from under his shirt.

junhui: bro’s more than down. he slides his shirt off in record time, pulling you closer and murmuring something cheeky like, “well? show me what you got.” he’s loving that you asked, and making sure you know he wants it right NOW.

hoshi: he’d giggle a little but then go wide-eyed, then go shy, scooting closer to you and sticking his chest out, practically pushing himself into you with zero shame. soonyoung’s fully committed to giving you exactly what you want.

wonwoo: deadpan but secretly horny. he’ll look at you over his glasses, raise an eyebrow, and just give a subtle nod, totally letting you lead but with a little smirk. “yeah, go on” enjoying it all internally while his cock will probably be begging for attention inseconds.

woozi: face absolutely burning red. he’s like, “you serious?” looking at you with wide eyes, probably covering his face with one hand and laughing awkwardly. but after a little convincing, he finally lets you, all shy but clearly enjoying every second even though he’d never admit it. would be a whining mess, and would tell you something like; “dont you dare to tell this to the boys, got it?”

minghao: he’s a MENACE from the moment you asked. just pulls his shirt up in one swift move and says, “right here?” important point: yall are in the car in the middle of the car traffic, teasing just waiting to see if you’re gonna back down. would moan SMILING when you wrap the lips around the bud, only waking up when he hears an stressed honk behind him.

mingyu: instantly flustered but he’s in. he gets shy, blushing, and he laughs a little before rolling his shirt up, covering his mouth with mihs hand trying to not moan too loud—pretending that he didn't loved it thiiiiis much. but he's squirming a little but loving every second.

seokmin: a whole shy mess but eventually gives in. he’s stammering, all red-faced, covering his chest with his hands like he’s a little embarrassed, but eventually he’s like, “okay, okay, do it.” he’s biting his lip, practically melting as you get closer.

seungkwan: he’s so surprised, like who offers that in the middle of the dinner?? his mouth dropping open, but then he just bursts out laughing. “oh, you’re serious?”

vernon: zero reaction on his face, he’d blink at you, maybe raise an eyebrow like it’s no big deal, then give a tiny nod, letting you go for it. “alright,” he says. you can feel his heartbeat racing under your lips, betraying how much he’s into it.

chan: cock raises inside his pants instantly. lets you go to town, maybe even wrapping his arms around you to keep you close. “can’t believe you asked me for this.” he arches towards you.

— how they would kiss their s/o

pairing: bf!svt x reader

genre: fluff (slightly veeeery veeery slightly suggestive)

warnings: kissing

summary: how seventeen members would kiss their s/o.

scoups

i feel like he's a deep kisser, probably puts a hand on the back of your neck and pulls you towards him while the other hand is on your waist. slow kisser, loves to take his time. loves your lips, he just can't get enough. smiles after the kiss making you peck his dimple.

jeonghan

smirker omg. he's such a tease. if you ask for a kiss he would be like "oh you want a kiss? my baby wants a kiss? hmm should i give it to you?". but his kisses are soft, probably long and multiple pecks. holds one of your cheek with his hand. hums in kisses.

joshua

soft soft soft. such a gentleman he is. if you have your hair down, moves a lock of your hair behind your ear, looking at you lovingly before kissing you so sweetly. his kisses are also long. holds your bodies close while kissing. admires you after the kiss while smiling.

jun

he's a sensual kisser. would hold your chin with his hand and make you look up to him. looks at you, smirks and then leans in. his kisses are passionate, a little little rough, not too much. has one of his arms around your waist and the other hand tangled between the locks of your hair. keeps smirking after the kiss because of your flushed cheeks.

hoshi

has two sides. either the goofy one, where he basically holds your face and pulls you into a kiss, making a "mmmmuah" sound while doing it, or the serious one. when he's serious his kisses are very romantic. looks at you and smiles so wide, holds your waist while kissing you, brushes his nose against yours after.

wonwoo

soft! his kisses are short but soft. has one hand on your back, pulling you towards him and kisses you sweetly. smiles a little after the kiss, pulls your hair out of your face, and kisses your forehead as well.

woozi

he mostly does forehead kisses, but when he kisses your lips he actually fonds to it. he's a slow kisser. holds your hips while kissing, whispers a small 'i love you' after the kiss while resting his forehead on yours.

dk

soo sweet. hugs your neck and pulls you close to kiss, while your arms are around his waist. smiles in kisses. seriously, dokyeom's kisses are so sweet, his kisses show how much he loves you. (just like how he kisses the members' cheeks).

mingyu

probably hugs you from behind, placing small kisses on your shoulder, up to your neck and ear. you turn around smiling and wrap your hands around his neck, while his rest around your waist. just like jeonghan small and multiple pecks. giggles between the kisses.

the8

passionate kisser. has his hands on your waist. he has such plump lips it makes you want to bite them. when you actually bite his lower lip, he laughs, squinting his eyes as you giggle.

seungkwan

he's so shy. but his kisses are so cute. hugs you while kissing, rocks your bodies back and forth. he also has soft lips, and you can't get enough of them. so when he tries to pull away, but you refuse getting closer and whining, he giggles and keeps kissing you.

vernon

classic kisser. his kisses are not too long, not too short, just right. he may seem neutral but his kisses are actually really good. holds your cheeks when he kisses you because he finds you adorable. smiles very wide after. (😁)

dino

such a passionate kisser. holds your hands while kissing you. he just can't get enough. you pull away, smiling at him, he smiles (smirks) back and pulls you again by your hands, making your bodies touch as he hugs you, kissing you again. giggles in the kisses as well.

a/n: hi guys i miss boo seungkwan. i've seen the tmea performance and oh my. they all look scrumptious 👀. by the way i saw a lot of you enjoyed the 'when you don't say ily back' headcanon so i hope you enjoy this too!

SVT helping a partner with chronic pain/fatigue

Requested? Yes!

Genre: Comfort

A/N: I received two requests, one for chronic pain and one for chronic fatigue. I feel that these kind of go hand in hand, if only because pain can lead to fatigue or vice versa, so I’ve combined these requests to avoid too much repetition between posts. 

A/N #2: I grouped members by specific aspects for this one. That’s not to say that any of them wouldn’t do any or all of the items listed (plus more), but they’re grouped by what I think they're most suited for or would do naturally, regardless of your condition.

Helps you stay active - Seungcheol, Woozi, Seungkwan, Chan

This list kind of started as the gym rat line, but I thought better of it, so hear me out. These guys strike me as ones that really enjoy being physically active, albeit in different ways. When you tell him the doctor recommends regular exercise but you just can't bring yourself to do it, his immediate response is, “I’ll do it with you, baby.” He’ll go to the gym with you and stick with you through whatever workout you’re feeling up to today, even if it’s not quite what his workout would usually look like. He’ll ask you to go to the park to play a sport casually with lots of breaks in between, if only to reframe it as something fun rather than exercise. He might even try to teach you some choreography, not with the goal of you really learning it or being good at it, but to find some stress-free, lower-impact ways to move your body. 

Helps you find ways to get quality sleep - Hoshi, Wonwoo, Vernon

You might think one of these things doesn't belong, but I have yet another ‘hear me out’ (I’m full of them!!!). Wonwoo and Vernon both seem to value sleep and having a regular routine around it. They’ll find ways to help you relax - be it a hot shower before bed, some light reading (Wonwoo’s voice reading to you, hello??), or things like heating pads or special pillows to make sleep something that is more likely to happen for you. Now, I think Hoshi needs those things just as much as you do, if only because he needs the opportunity to recharge. Those little habits make it easier to sleep and get restorative rest. 

Helps you manage symptoms - Joshua, Mingyu, Minghao

When you tell him that your doctor recommends cutting or limiting certain things from your diet, he’s totally on board and will absolutely do it with you. The processed foods stop appearing on the grocery list. The sugary dessert after dinner is replaced by a big bowl of fresh fruit. The caffeinated drinks are replaced by non-caffeinated options or different fun substitutes entirely. He’ll never deny any of those things for you if you’re really craving them, but if eliminating and trying new things might help you then he’ll have your back. He’s also got the heating pads, massages, and pain meds on lock for when a good diet just doesn’t cut it. 

Helps you manage stress - Jeonghan, Jun, DK

He sees the cycle. You get stressed with work, school, family life, whatever. On the heels of that stress is fatigue, quickly followed by pain. He’ll do all the things mentioned above when the fatigue and pain is unavoidable, but he really likes to do things that help manage the stress to begin with. The chores are done so you don't have to dread them all day for when you get home. He’s helping you stay active, if only to work off that stress before it consumes you. He’s packing your lunch so you can get a few extra minutes of sleep or just simply take your time getting ready for the day. It’s the little things that you might not even notice he does all the time, but when you remember you needed to do something and find that it’s already been done, you get a moment to sigh in relief and just rest. 

[number1mingyustan]

hihiii are you taking requests???

if not sorry and plz ignore me

but i've been obsessing over romcoms again, and i was wondering if you could write how seventeen would react if you were at a sports game together and get put on the kiss cam.

thank youuu!!!!

Svt Kiss Cam Reactions 💋

________________________________

Seungchol: He's like confident and shy at the same time. Definitely gets red as soon as he sees himself up on screen, but he knows it's a one-time chance so he doesn't hesitate to grab you and kiss you with a smile.

Joshua: Thinks it's the absolute funniest thing. Laughs a lot and kisses you sweetly even though you're sitting there embarrassed.

Jeonghan: He's already sitting there with his arm around your shoulder. When he sees himself on screen he kinda smirks and leans in. Your face is hot and you're trying not to let it show, but he just pulls you in closer and kisses you.

Jun: Probably more nervous than you. Takes him a second to realize he's literally on screen in front of thousands of people. When it does process, he kisses you, but it's quick because he's a little scared.

Hoshi: Definitely starts laughing really loudly and pointing at the camera. He yells at you about how you're on the screen and then grabs you and kisses you. He also cheers immediately after.

Wonwoo: He sees himself on camera and instantly gets shy. He didn't sign up for this and wants no part, but you're the one to initiate the kiss. You make it a quick and sweet kiss, and you spare him from the attention and embarrassment.

Woozi: Tries to play it cool at first and pretend he doesn't know he's on screen. You nudge him and tell him people are watching so he kisses you softly and returns to sitting with his arms crossed because he honestly finds them a little cringe.

DK: Definitely laughs and gets really loud and excited. Grabs like your entire body and kisses you. Much like Hoshi, he'll cheer with the crowd too.

Mingyu: Notices himself on camera, probably starts mewing to make sure he looks good. Points it out to you and steals a kiss when you look up at the screen. He laughs about it and puts his arm around your shoulder.

Minghao: Thinks it's a little cringe, but when you point it out and he can see how excited you are, he embraces it and kisses you with a smile.

Vernon: Just kind of... looks around. Might point it out and start laughing and his eyebrows raise up super high. But he does like that boyish grin and kisses you anyway.

Seungkwan: Definitely has a dramatic reaction when he realizes he's on screen. Starts hitting your leg to her your attention and points it out to you before stealing a kiss.

Dino: Points directly at the camera with a smile and moves your head so you can see yourself. Then turns your head again and steals a kiss before cheering.

( 🧺 ) 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍 ⌅ .

EP 5 : let’s go ! seventeen

2021.　pairing.　kiki ( fem!oc ) × svt

cw.　swearing ( not exactly ), changes to some joshua, seungcheol & wonwoo’s moments due to contents adjustment

started with the opening of mc woozi

woozi: it will require to move the body a lot, so you better do stretches well

vernon: kiki noona must do so well today

kiki: 💪

[ the queen of isac ]

s.coups: u better watch out kids

seungkwan: why tf is he acting like they’re the team???

ofc she kept taking the flags til the end of the grouping

jun: i just realized though, kiki really could drop in 1st round like she’ll be chosen first from ANYONE

kiki: ...omg yes???

[ there’s a genius here ]

she won rock paper scissors the 8 and everyone started to do massive appeal to her

she’s everyone’s favorite after all, who wouldn’t want to be selected from her?

and kiki be like “why am i so pressured like this”

joshua: kit kat we’re bestie right???? you know what you should do???

kiki: alright come here bestie ㅎㅎ

after minghao chose jeonghan, she just called “seungcheol-la, come on,” and coups hopped to her

carats: they try to collect 95s like what

then she headed to hoshi straight and turned to wonwoo like “not today.” and hoshi was ghoseted just like that

hoshi: *mumbling and screaming how he will do the best*

kiki: why he’s so overly energetic today? *slightly judging*

mingyu: omg she’s so overwhelmed agujnsvah

she picked up vernon at the last and told “sorry junnie i just need calm person around me,” and jun was disappointed but not surprised

dino: so woozi would automatically go to the 8’s team?

woozi: actually i can go to either of you

and then the legend “jihoonaaaaaa” was delivered but kiki was genuinely scared of hoshi at this point like wtf is wrong with him!?

not she tried to hide behind vernon

kiki and wonwoo took the lead to do the time race

mc woozi: it really looks like the ace card from the beginning

dino: wonwoo hyung looks very motivated

seungkwan: because noona is by his side lol

wonwoo, whispered to her ear: i’ll go first so u can watch me and make a plan how to do

pure dedication 🥲

everyone was surprised how fast wonwoo was like wow

kiki: wonwoo-ya you can do it! nice! so good!

wonwoo: *got more energy*

it's almoset hilarious how he just made a peace sign to her as soon as he finished

kiki was gasped of the 8's speed like “isn’t he a ninja or smth!?”

then her turn came

woozi: since the 8 made a remarkable record, we could't help but expect to her result as well

jeonghan, shouting from across the room: kiki take the mvp!

kiki just rolled her eyes and muttered, “i truly can’t believe him”

seungcheol: but i think she would do great on this, it’s truly her field

and he was right about it

vernon: wah it looks like she slipping through the walls?

seungkwan: it can happen, she’s probably the lightest among four of them

woozi: wow she really fast! it’s like a wind!

dokyeom: noona must calculated how to move all area

her team cheered and gave applause to her, even minghao's team surprised as well

she placed 2nd by 41 sec

wonwoo gently patted her back and smile, “you did amazing as expected”

mingyu: wow noona did so well... *felt the pressure*

kiki: don’t be nervous, you can do it well too :)

seungkwan: ey noona! you don’t need to cheer the enemy!

kiki: s, sorry kwanna,,

[ listens to what the teammate says ]

of course team carnival beat the team jihonna in this round

when cheol shot a quick glance to jeonghan in the bonus clip of 1st episode, kiki did a double take with a face of disbelieve, looked down from head to toe like U BISH ( ofc for the amuse )

she was emotionally exhausted already, sitting down with a blank face in the background after jeonghan and dino’s competing tackling had ended

when woozi throw a question like “aren’t u guys already tired? people in the cheering seats?” she automatically stand up and said aniya~ but with a same blank face and raspy voice and everyone cracked up even kiki herself couldn’t held a laughter

jeonghan: she is exhausted ajdaxja

kiki: i’m sorry~

she hiped up dokyeom to do til the end as the good noona should

woozi and seungcheol paird up to run the last race together naturally

everyone expected seungcheol will do better than woozi since he was the mc and already moved around constantly

however all soon figured out that’s not a case

vernon: wait why the hell he’s so slow!?

dokyeom: it’s not his field he’s too heavy to go fast

cheol, heard what he said: ya what do you mean by that!?

after observed how the race goes, she pulled hoshi who was standing next to her closely and silently said, “...hey, isn’t the leaders unit, like, dead?” and that had him in stitches

surprisingly the match was a close game, but cheol narrowly managed to grab the flag first

kiki was genuinely worried about woozi as he rarely gets exhausted at this level

her team discussed the plan for the team competitions, kiki said “i think they try to disturb me or wonwoo like we will do to myeongho, so if either of us could get through that we have a chance to take 1st place.” and seungcheol agreed, said “yeah we’ll win if we could hold the 8 back,”

after everyone got started, kiki was marked heavily but managed to do through anyway

until jeonghan arrives

kiki: why tf u are here!?!?

jeonghan: come on just join with me on the floor hehe

and just like that, she fell onto the floor

kiki: i swear to god YOON JEONGHAN-

[cryinginmyroomsposts]

Svt as specific tropes cuz I am in a writer's block

a/n: these are purely personal opinions/ imagines. not proofread!

Scoups: enemies to lovers (I'm talking dagger to the throat enemies to "who hurt you" pipeline. scoups and his competitive petty ass would be perfect with an equally competitive and hot-headed oc. I'm talking sizzling chemistry, extreme frustration to tooth-rotting fluff)

Jeonghan: Frenemies to angst to friends to lovers (light-hearted frenemies until one day Jeonghan takes the joke a little too far which leads to angst and years of no-contact. A chance encounter during lowest times leading to a soft adult friendship evolving to a soft and chaotic lovers pipeline)

Joshua: strangers to comfort person to lover (he gives me a feel-good coming of age feels so I'll take a storyline with the heartbroken or worn down oc finding comfort in Shua who could be a stranger or a kind colleague. a full "we helped heal each other" and then moving away due to circumstances only to realise that you need your comfort person)

Jun: holiday romance (nana tour Jun vibes. two strangers in a random city who decide to spend a week having the utmost fun and never meet again... but of course fate brings them together and the angst of reality to eventually finding a balance in the paradise of their holiday whirlwind and reality... it's giving romcom)

Woozi: Best Friends pining for decades (A very soulmate-ish friendship. Woozi and oc are so extremely obvious about their feelings but are oblivious to the reciprocation- it's also obvious to everyone around them. The angst of "what-ifs", and ofcourse songs written abt the feelings, to angry confessions and happy endings. this one includes a lotttt of angst and dozens of bangers mixed with peak domestic behaviour and two ppl so attuned to each other like old married couples)

Hoshi: Accidental dance partners Hoshi and oc (might sound basic but I'm a dancer and it's a very indulgent trope... so yeah! I'm thinking college team dancers in competing teams are forced to pair up for a competition. Out-of-the-world chemistry- can't keep eyes and hands off each other, late night talks, "non-date" date nights and ofc anger issues(performers, duh!). Lots of parties, angst and eventually confessing. She falls first but he falls harder)

Wonwoo: second-chance romance (I think Wonwoo, I think angst(sorry wonu) and second chance. oc and wonu having whirlwind honeymoon phase until oc pushes him away. lots and lots of angst- confused wonu not knowing how to help oc. both of them miserable without the other... until Wonwoo can't take it anymore and makes oc lean on him for support. very gray and grounded in reality romance)

Dokyeom: Small-town romance (sunshine Lee Seokmin as a charming small-town business owner helping big-city-return troubled oc deal with life and falling in love? sign me up for the hallmark movie! Seokmin and his golden best boy smile healing hearts as always)

Mingyu: Arranged Marriage Trope (once again, a very self-indulgent imagination...Oc who doesn't believe in love after a heartbreak, Mingyu who accepted his destiny and never loved anyone. A very practical arranged marriage with both consenting parties. An agreement to stay "partners" and "friends" because they "Can't force feelings". Domestic life leads them to break every rule- written and unwritten... angst rising due to pasts and insecurity... oc's fear of abandonment, Mingyu's fear of attachment... a minor separation and major realisation... their very own happy ending at last! Mingyu Best Husband Agenda forever)

Minghao: Rival Artists with secret identities dating each other (Minghao dates the pretty stranger on a dating app, agree to keep things casual but lo behold they are falling fast and hard... all is well except both have secret identities as artists who are rivals. they love each other but hate the other's alter-ego... ofc this leads to miscommunication and angst, lost ways and breakups. but this is my imagination so they end up together after everything and conquer the art world)

Seungkwan: Celebrity Fake dating trope (Seungkwan would eat that shit up! Two A-list celebs: Seungkwan and oc, who appear together in a show and fans go crazy for their chemistry but they don't pay head. oc gets caught in a false accusation, needs a distraction- agencies make oc and Seungkwan fake date... on-camera they r perfect but off-cam it's all awkward... planned appearances to becoming friends, trauma bonding... sexual tension rises, life gets complicated, lots of angst later they end up dating happily)

Vernon: Falling without meeting each other (two online friends, fake names but authentic friendship across continents fall for each other without ever meeting other. against all odds they end up seeing each other eventually and staying together... this gives me old cinema vibes but in modern times, Vernon is so Vernon that only he'd be fitting)

Dino: High school fake dating (imagine Dino as Peter Kavinsky from To All The Boys I've Loved Before... a popular softie boy agreeing to fake date the silent girl, the only twist is Dino has been in love with her since middle school, he fell first and harder- a full simp! Very romcom coded angst and happy endings ofc- i just know Dino will make a perfect romcom male lead)

[babyleostuff]

Pls pls make an ot13 fic wherein the reader is an actress and an idol at the same time and she get paired with svt and they have a kissing scene or an intimate one. without anyone knowing, theyre daiting and the amount of teasing the members eill receive??? Just like juns recent drama

members teasing each other because of an intimate scene in a drama | ot13

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ SEUNGCHEOL

He’d try to pull the leader card, but it would NOT work, whatsoever. The teasing he’d get from Mingyu would be ASTRONOMICAL (he’d waited his entire life for that). It would also be Chan’s villain origin story, because that would be the perfect opportunity to take revenge for all those years the teasing (you can practically hear him laughing maniacally in the distance).

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ JEONGHAN

I feel like it could go two ways. He’d either be like: “you guys stoooop” (shy bean) or “I know, that kiss was hot, right?” (wink wink). Even though they would definitely tease him, he wouldn’t care that much. At least he gets all the edits and thirst traps now.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ JOSHUA

They would give him a bottle of water with a label “holy water” and run off. But in the end, despite all the teasing, Joshua would not be bothered. He has better things to do (read: sing “Sunday morning” while crying over his cringy kissing scenes).

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ JUN

Well, looking at what is going on right now, we can tell that he gets some amount of teasing, but a lot of praise too. I think generally with Jun, they are proud of him for pursuing acting and showing his talent in something other than singing and dancing. Still, I feel like he kind of hibernated for the first 48h after the release, to avoid the clowning of the members (but he has seen the memes).

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ HOSHI

Villain origin story, part two: Mingyu edition. It would be his time to take revenge for all the mafia games AND HE WOULD NOT HOLD BACK. That man would follow Soonyoung everywhere and just clown him MASSIVELY. Soonyoung would have to lock himself in his house to avoid Mingyu and even then, the younger would spam him with messages.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ WOOZI

At first they wouldn’t dare to tease him. They would be afraid that he’d close off after coming out of his comfort zone and starting in a drama. Jihoon’d be actually ready for the teasing, so when it never came, he’d be like ???. That’s when they’d release all their inner jokes about the drama and his performance (especially the steamy scenes). He would laugh with them and not mind the teasing.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ WONWOO

He’d take it all like a champion. Nothing can break Jeon Wonwoo. Except for when he’d be alone. Then he’d turn into a babygirl and be like:🥺🫶, guys can you stop, please? But he would never tell that to their faces. Because he’s Jeon Wonwoo. 💪🏼.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ DK

They would not tease him. Period. Instead of teasing it would be all love and praise. They would practically be shitting hearts and rainbows, because of how proud they are of him.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ MINGYU

Thank god they aren’t living together anymore, because he’d HAVE to move out then. The group chat would be on fire after the first episode and the next day at work would be hell on earth for him. Some of the boys would take their time to learn some of the lines that they found particularly cringy and clown him with them. They'd also make kissy noises at him. He’d start to think about debuting as a solo artist.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ MINGHAO

There would be no point in teasing Minghao. Would not care. Would not find the teasing amusing. Would probably turn the whole situation around and make fun of the boys instead. It’s all for the art baby.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ SEUNGKWAN

The moment any of the members would even open their mouth to breath, he’d yell and walk out of the room. After a second though, he’d reappear and start explaining how it is all in the name of art and what it means to be a real actor (it'd turn out that Jeonghan only wanted to ask what they wanted for dinner).

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ VERNON

I feel like the members wouldn’t actually tease him THAT much. They’d be proud of him for doing something out of his comfort zone and trying something new. Yeah, surely there would be some teasing, but it’d more like love and praise 🥰 >>>>> teasing.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ DINO

He. Does. Not. Care. Come on, after that many years of being teased and “bullied”, he would not give a single fuck. They’d try to make fun of him, but quickly give up, as they'd realise it didn’t faze their youngest, whatsoever. Chan would enjoy all the tiktoks and memes though.

how seventeen sit on their s/o's lap for the first time

requested by anon: "hi!!! a while back i remember you did how seventeen would react if you sat in their lap, would you be okay if you wrote it flipped? like the reader pulling them onto their lap or asking them to, etc ^_^"

notes: counterpart to this post right here ^^

masterlist

seungcheol

as someone who's normally your resident cushion, he'd probably be a bit confused when you say that you want him to sit on your lap. gets shy, saying he's probably gonna be rlly heavy for you, so he compromises and puts his head in your lap instead. almost falls asleep as you run your hands through his hair, makes drowsy whiny noises whenever you pause and is just vv soft

jeonghan

he asked if he could sit in your lap first. he asks so casually, so straight-faced, so you end up saying yes and he grins that tiny, satisfied grin before curling up in your lap like a little puppy, head rested in the crook of your neck. he's so warm and comfortable, and seungcheol laughs at him for being a sap but jeonghan just tells him to shut up. still with his head on your shoulder. 

joshua

gets all shy and giggly omg. he sits sideways in your lap, legs dangling over your thighs, head on your shoulder, and he's so flustered that he's hiding his face into your shirt. lowkey likes it a lot bc he gets to play with the fingers of one of your hands while the other is wrapped around his waist, securing him in your lap

junhui

mans is practically LEAPING into your lap when you offer PLS. collapses onto you and wraps his arms around your neck instantly, wriggling in your lap all happy and pleased and is almost purring with contentment i swear. doesn't let you try and pull him off at all, he's glued to your lap for at least several more hours now

hoshi

screeches like some sort of pterodactyl and makes you almost regret asking. pretends that he's going to jump on you before eventually just settling gently in your arms. clings to your front like a koala, and since he's facing behind you he has to crane his neck to join the conversation but there's no way he's moving from his position, not at all

wonwoo

leans against your chest, casual as anything, while you're reading a book on the couch. you tilt the book so he can see what you're reading and he hums in thanks before adjusting himself better against you. he's a comforting, silent weight, and with his head against your collarbone he's at the perfect height for you to drop kisses onto the top of hi hair

woozi

doesn't let you pull him into your lap. ever. it's not happening. but when he's lying down on the sofa, if you come up to him and lift his head up before sitting down again, his head now in your lap, he's not going to complain. likes it the most when you trace the curves of his face with a light finger, sighing in relaxation w the tiniest smile on his lips

minghao

scrunches up all super super small in your lap, his lanky long limbs all folded up until he's basically a ball in your arms. likes it the most when you have your arms securely wrapped around him and keeping him in your embrace, bc it just feels so protective and safe. 

mingyu

despite this guy's puppy energy i don't think i can ever see him sitting in his s/o's lap bc i think he'd just prefer being their place of comfort over anything else. that being said, probably flops into your lap to beg for kisses before propping his head on your shoulder and generally being a nuisance till you give in

dokyeom

another person who gets all giggly! he's all "hehe you want me to sit in your lap 🥰" and is going to just be a melty mess in your arms the entire time. basically goes all soft while sitting in your lap, cannot be moved at all. he's just a blob of adoring goo and you're not going to be able to get rid of him

seungkwan

frets that he's going to be a burden for you. is uncomfortable for five whole minutes before suddenly he just completely forgets about it and it's like you have a hyper puppy sitting in your lap as he yaps at chan and wriggles around indignantly whenever mingyu says something weird

vernon

sits in your lap while you cradle his head with your arm and coo down at him and tell him how pretty and soft and lovely he looks. he pretends to be all weirded out by it, and yeah it's a little cringy, but there's something so soothing about being in your arms like this after a long day

chan

it's an unspoken agreement between you two. when he's exhausted, mentally or physically, all he has to do is look at you and you're opening your arms and letting him fall into you, hands automatically coming up to pull him into your lap, one hand in his hair and the other on the back of his neck, thumbs rubbing soothing circles into his skin, helping him feel home again.

𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐮𝐭

Author's note: I'm back from the dead (finally lmao). A few month ago I got my wisdom teeth out and started writing this, which I just finished (a few months later oops). Hope you'll enjoy!

Seungcheol:

Would be dead serious when it comes to you resting. "Doctor said to rest a lot so you're not moving." Would change the ice on your cheeks and remind you to take your meds when needed. Even if you don't live together he would stay in your appartment, or would take you to his, to keep an eye on you "just in case".

Jeonghan:

His first reaction when he saw you after the removal was to laugh because your cheeks were swollen. Your cheeks eventually got bigger on days 2 and 3 so he mocked you even more and ended up making edits of you as a hamster. Would definitely take 0.5 pics of you and send them to the members.

Joshua:

Would be so, so sweet. Very caring like Seungcheol but less protective maybe? He would come around at your appartment or call you to make sure you're okay and taking your meds and stuff. On the worst days he would surprise you with homemade soup and soft foods to enjoy while watching a movie.

Junhui:

Kinda lost? Like if you come and see him with those ice packs on your swollen cheeks he would be "??? what happened to you??"

Probably never had to remove his so it's like he never knew wisdom teeth existed and taking them out was a thing.

He would be careful around you of course, but don't fully rely on him for medicine reminders because he will just forget.

Hoshi:

A bit like Jun in a way, I think he would forget you cannot eat solid food for a while. Poor Soonyoung would want to susprise you with good food after practice, but you cannot eat it so he'd eat his chicken wings with tears in his eyes while you eat yogurts and soup.

Maybe would try to pinch your cheeks at some point because he just has to, they look so round and pincheable he would not resist. But you pushing him away would eventually give him a hint that it's not the right time to touch your sensitive cheeks.

Wonwoo:

Would give you time to recover alone if needed. Sometimes would send a message to make sure you're alive and doing fine. I imagine him seeing you in person maybe 2 or 3 days after the surgery, and just standing straight while looking at you like "oh, what happened-" but then remembering your wisdom teeth removal and asking you a lot of stuff about it out of curiosity.

Woozi:

Would be your personal guardian of meds and sleep. Like he has his watch or phone at all times to check when you took your last med, and when is the time to take the next one, so that you don't take too much and hurt your stomach. Would order all kinds of soup and eat them with you, you didn't ask him, but he felt like living this suffering of soft foods with you so you don't feel alone.

Mingyu:

A bit like Woozi and Seungcheol; he'd always be around and check on you and the time you took your meds. Would change the ice packs on your cheeks even while you sleep so you don't have to. He'd make soups and soft foods himself and THEY'RE SO GOOD. He would make the food suffering a lot more bearable with his cooking skills!!

The8:

I think he'd mock you a bit on the 2nd or 3rd days because of your swollen hamster cheeks, but once they started healing he'd worry because of the bruises you would develop on the said cheeks. He'd force you go back to the dentist because "it's not normal to have blue cheeks when healing" and "people will think I'm hurting you." He'd eventually feel silly once the dentist told him it was normal and part of the healing process.

Dokyeom:

He'd be honestly always so confused, Google search would be his best friend. Before and after the removal, he'd look up many informations to make sure he would be able to help you. Examples of his research: "how long before eating solids after wisdom teeth removal"; "do the stitches fall off by themselves wisdom teeth removal"; "how to prevent cheeks swelling wisdom teeth removal."

Vernon:

I feel like he'd be chill about it, not as dramatic as Seungcheol but also more informed than The8 ou Dokyeom. If you have any questions he'll look it up or ask around him to help you out. He'd message you a bit more often to make sure you slept well enough or you ate at least a little. The kind to give you the space you want afterwards.

Seungkwan:

He'd try to contain his laugh but honestly it would be so hard after seeing your swollen face. He'd look away, hand on his mouth and would say stuff like "oh I'll never forget that face"; "I feel so bad but it's just too funny." He'd visually avoid you for a bit and then would help you in your healing journey.

Dino:

He'd be a mix of everyone I think, sometimes he'd laugh a bit at your face, then would help you with the medicine and force you to bed, then would order soup (and even make some himself- which I would not recommend- but at least he tried!). Definitely the type to facetime you when away one evening and burst out laughing at your swollen face appearing on the screen. This shithead.

Hi!! Can u do Mtl seventeen get married & are they fs is korean? Asian? Non-asian?

if it's rude and/or you don't want to do it, don't do it ok 😉

Thank you! And happy holiday~! 🤗

Happy holidays! Happy 2025! I will just answer the first question. I feel it will be hard to pick up on the second question.

S.Coups (Ace of Wands) His seems like it will come quick and happen fast, or be abrupt.

Wonwoo (2 of Cups) I still get a sense he will have a loving and happy marriage. I can see it happening earlier for him.

Junhui (4 of Wands) This card can be a card of marriage announcements. I still like to put the other two above first.

Jeonghan (Queen of Cups) This could be his energy or a loving nurturing person is in his life or will be soon. I see a presence of someone, so his can happen sooner as well.

The rest is hard to put in order, so winging it.

Minghao (9 of Cups) Just putting him above others, because this is cups lol

Dokyeom (King of Pentacles) I say he is more focused on work, but he still goes above the others. He seems like someone who can be a provider and a good husband to someone.

Vernon (Queen of Pentacles) He does seem to like his independence, but I see a woman here, so it could happen eventually, sooner than the others.

Seungkwan (Knight of Pentacles) He seems pretty slow to move forward and hesitant. He seems to take his time.

Hoshi (Page of Pentacles) He doesn’t seem like he is at a point to get married soon.

Joshua (8 of Cups) Seems emotionally distant, not really capable of pouring his love to someone. Not seeing it before the others, or anytime soon.

Woozi (The Moon) I mean if he does, not sure we will know about it, hard to decipher this one, but felt the need to put him here. I see a lot of fears and worries around marriage, doom and gloom energy here.

Mingyu (Knight of Wands) This is my playboy card, so not sure if he is close to ready to settle down, but I can also see this as he can be quick to marry as well. So I will put him here, he can be higher or lower depending on which side he leans on. If he prefers to be a bachelor, lower. But if he is quick to jump to a marriage higher lol I got a clarifier and got the 10 of Wands, so lower he goes. He shows marriage is too overwhelming, maybe one of the last to get married.

Dino (5 of Wands) I am not seeing marriage for him, so either he doesn’t or it is too far in the future.

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈☃

Seventeen reaction when you're playing with their hair while sitting on their lap.

S.COUPS

Although he pretends to be indifferent, Seungcheol secretly loves it when you play with his hair. The sensation of your touch near the back of his sensitive neck gives him full-body shivers, revealing his true enjoyment. You playfully tease him about it, but he doesn't mind because you still do it whenever he asks.

JEONGHAN

He absolutely adores it when you touch his hair, especially on difficult days. It's the one thing he shamelessly begs you for, and head scratches are his favorite. He lets you experiment with different hairstyles on him. You both have a giggle fest while putting on various hair clips, and he finds it incredibly adorable.

JOSHUA

Joshua would have a gentle smile on his face, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment. He would appreciate the closeness and the soothing feeling of your touch, making him feel cherished and loved. He might rest his head against yours, cherishing the moment.

Jun

This would be one of those rare times when he'll not feel horny having you on his lap like this but rather find you extremely cute and innocent. Jun would smile gleefully at those innocent touches, appreciating the closeness and the gentle touch.

Hoshi

Hoshi would absolutely love it. He would find it incredibly soothing and comforting as being the leader of performance unit, he's always tired of choreographing new dance moves. Hoshi might lean back, letting himself relax into your touch, and might even close his eyes, enjoying the tender moment of affection.

Wonwoo

He would initially be surprised but would quickly warm up to the idea. He would enjoy the feeling of your fingers running through his hair, finding it soothing and relaxing. With a soft smile, he would wrap his arms around you, cherishing the intimate moment between you both.

Woozi

Woozi might act a bit flustered at first, trying to maintain his composure. However, as you continue playing with his hair, he would gradually relax and lean into your touch. He would appreciate the intimacy and the connection it brings.

Mingyu

Mingyu would playfully tease you, pretending to be nonchalant about it, but secretly he would enjoy every second of it. He would relish the sensation of your fingers running through his hair and would hold you a little tighter, appreciating the closeness and the warmth that it brings. But him being a horny little pup you may hope for the things to get spiced up.

The8

The8 would initially act a bit shy or reserved, but as you continue playing with his hair, he would gradually become more at ease. He would find the moment between you two extremely intimidating and appreciates the sensation and the care you put into it, finding it both comforting and affectionate. It would create a special bond and a moment of tranquility between you and him.

DK

Seokmin would absolutely adore it. He would wrap his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to him. He will find you the most endearing person and he'll be really grateful to the heavens that you're his. He would just appreciate your mere existence and when you shower him with affection like this, he can't help but smile wide while holding you closer.

SEUNGKWAN

Seungkwan would probably giggle and playfully protest, trying to hide his blush. However, deep down, he would absolutely love the attention and the closeness. He would treasure the affectionate moment between you both.

Vernon

Well i think he's be confused at first as he may not be used to that level of physical affection. However, as he gets more comfortable, he would begin to enjoy it. He might express his gratitude through a gentle nod or by giving you a warm look, conveying how much he appreciates your affectionate gesture.

Dino

Dino would find it incredibly sweet and heartwarming. He would lean into your touch, enjoying the feeling of your fingers in his hair. Dino might playfully tease you or giggle, but deep down, he would truly appreciate the gesture

Hey doll! I saw you tagged for more asks like the Seventeen working at Walmart (which I LOVED btw!) and I've come to deliver! I'm at a Casino hotel overnight with The Bestie™️ and we're down at the pool! So...how about SVT working at a public pool??? 😅😅😅

bc there are so many mf's in this group i hope you don't mind me expanding a little into a hotel/water park resort.

choi seungcheol life guard i have no other reasoning behind this other than i want to see him in the cute red swim trunks ok. drowning myself in the deep end so he can give me the kiss of life. he's probably working the wave pool and like actually has to rescue people every time the big wave hits.

jeonghan is the barrtenderrrr *t-pain voice* and he has to wear that cute little formal fancy bartender fit (u know the one) and he is a prof mixologist like he's making you shit that is not even on the menu and it is amazing.

joshua works at the tiki bar in the water park so he's whipping up daiquiris and other frozen delights all day long and gets to enjoy the sunshine. humor me and picture that pretty golden glow and long sandy blonde hair okay i have a specific vision.

junhui is also a lifeguard but specifically for one of the big water slides - it's so shallow that he usually sits there are just watches all day making sure everyone is safe but witnesses hella ass crack when people try to exit the slide. so he's kind of just a glorified water monitor and buttcrack patrol.

hoshi delivers room service and knows all the hot gossip because holy shit he just left room 212 and the married guy who was just here last week was in there with a completely different woman today. besties with the entire housekeeping staff.

wonwoo is also a lifeguard (shhh there is a lot of water ok) but specifically for the lazy river so he just wades around all-day from one shady spot to the next making sure kids aren't blocking up tube-traffic. He does think it's really fun to walk against the current and considers it his workout for the day.

woozi is singing in the resort lounge like zack and cody's mom but he is getting hella hoes. tip jar on the piano is full of room #'s and key cards. he's like ahaha i'm flattered but no thanks but has given in once or twice after a little convincing from jeonghan.

minghao concierge bro he can get you into ANYWHERE because he doesn't take no for an answer. exclusive restaurant with a waitlist a mile long? reservations at 8pm with a complimentary bottle of wine, baby.

mingyu is so a cabana boy. he's got warm towels, he's got drinks, he's got a shrimp cocktail to deliver, and he's got a creepy cougar to escape from bc she won't stop making passes at him and now he's hiding in the laundry room which leaves...

boo seungkwan, the other cabana boy who is always annoyed and cursing under his breath but can turn his customer service face and voice on and off like a switch. will drag mingyu out of hiding by his hair when he notices it getting too busy.

vernon works at the resort guest check-in and has his speech so automated in his head that if someone interrupts him he loses all train of thought and has to start over. calls the bell boy just for funsies when he is bored which really pisses...

chan the bellboy off because he just ran his ass all the way across the resort thinking he was actually needed but it's just vernon fucking around with an empty lobby. fills those carts to the brim like Tetris and refuses to ask for help bc his pride says he can move all 800lbs of luggage himself.

seokmin i’m so sorry i forgot u baby it’s bc he is so busy working that resort valet parking the NIOCE cars. running around in his lil polo looking all fine and handsome like tip the man bc he uses it on his expensive cologne you can still smell when you get in ur car.

Calico - Act Two

Choi Y/N is pretty, smart, and funny and she knows it - mostly because she hears it all the time from all the men (read: victims) she dates. She’s about to get a taste of her own medicine. 

You can find the masterlist here. 

Calico has a sequel called LMLY, if you’re interested.

Genre: (a little) fluff, (quite a bit of) angst, smut, college au, heavily inspired by John Tucker Must Die

Pairing: Joshua x female reader (with mentions of Mingyu x female reader, Woozi x female reader, Seokmin x female reader, Jeonghan x female reader)

TW/CW: MDNI!!, contains smut with no protection mentioned (be safe please!!), mentions of alcohol, food, a whole lot of cyber bullying.

Word count: 9k

This is a repost of a previous fic I did. It was one of the first fics that I ever posted on here and I wish I had made some different choices aesthetically. The content will be the same, it will just be a little prettier and more readable.

Joshua downloads the app as soon as it hits the gossip twitter, which he now follows. He thinks it’s pretty rudimentary, but they assured him it just needed to be functional and they could pretty it up as their developer had time if it was really that important. 

Later that afternoon, he meets Boo Seungkwan, and Joshua is convinced he might be evil. Seungkwan cackles loudly when he sees that Y/N has already set up an account too. Then there’s the low maniacal giggling that he does when he gets into his admin app. Seconds later, Joshua has a match. 

Between all this evil laughter, the other three are grilling him on his dating experience. He’s vague about his answers. First, it’s none of their business, really. Second, Joshua already has an inkling that Y/N is interested and is just waiting to be asked out. He plans to make her work for it a little before he gives her much. 

The first message comes through within minutes of Seungkwan making the match and it makes Joshua laugh. The others try to crowd around his phone, but he pushes them away. They don’t need to know his methods. 

And his first method is to let the message sit there marked as read for a while. Two days in fact. At their next biostats class, they thankfully just have a lecture, but he can feel someone looking at him from across the room every now and then. 

Finally, he responds with something casual. ‘Hey Y/N, sorry I missed this message.’ It’s a classic get-out-of-trouble card and he knows it worked when she replies immediately with, ‘No big deal!’ She then proceeds to try to start a conversation and he stays ‘busy’ for the next couple weeks, only replying to her sparingly. 

During the next in-class project, Y/N slides into the seat next to him and smiles, but it looks a tad insecure compared to how it normally looks. Joshua grins at her when he greets her and she lights up like a Christmas tree. He’s pleased because it’s taken very little work to have her in the palm of his hand. 

He waits another week to make another move and it’s probably not the move that she wanted. At approximately 11:30pm, he sends her a message on the app that says, ‘You up?’ He cringes when he sends it, but the thing is, she needs to feel like a last resort, or at least one of many options. When she replies, he’s suddenly busy and doesn’t answer her back. 

He does this two more times over the next couple weeks, messaging her first and then dodging her. On the fourth time, he finally takes her up on her offer. He feels like an asshole when he shows up at the sorority house in the middle of the night on Thursday because he’s kind of winging this part. He considers showing up but acting totally disinterested in being there. Maybe he’ll even scroll through Seungkwan’s dating app in front of her, where he has other matches. 

He’s so busy thinking about his next move that he really doesn’t expect to be pushed against her bedroom door after she sneaks him in. Y/N has her body pushed flush up against his, lips attacking his own in a desperate kiss. 

Joshua decides he hates her. Hates how she’s pouted at his disinterest and stared him down in every class they share because he’s not giving in to her. Hates how he’s seen her shut down every single guy for two weeks because it seems like she’s actually into him. Hates how crushed those guys look when she politely turns them down. Hates how if he really does give in to her, he’ll have to work faster than her.

He particularly hates how he immediately responds to her touch, rock hard in his sweats. She’s attractive and he’s not blind. And there’s something that lights his veins on fire with how desperate she seems for his attention. She’s not used to having to wait for what she wants and he has half a mind to make her wait longer. Maybe he doesn’t even have to date her. Walking away from her now, or even after he sleeps with her, would get the message across too. 

But he hates her and hates how nice she feels against him and there’s something really passionate about his hate. So he swings her around and it’s her turn to be pushed against the door. Her mouth opens and she looks like she’s holding back a moan. Joshua’s body is totally pressed against hers now and he leans down to her ear. “You know how to be quiet, right? Don’t want to wake up your roommates, do we?” 

The words are taunting but they have an immediate affect on her. Her eyes get wide, lips pouting. She kind of looks like she might cry and he’s enjoying that far too much. “Yes, I’ll be quiet.” 

And she tried really hard. He thinks it’s actually pretty cute how obedient she is. He tells her to strip and she does. He tells her to get on her knees in front of him and she does. He tells her to stick out her tongue so he can push his cock inside her mouth and she does. Somewhere deep down, he realizes he’s being unfair because she seems to really be into him, but he can’t resist the opportunity to have her at his beck and call like this.

When he has her bent over her desk, she covers her mouth to muffle the sounds that are spilling out. When he has her on her back with her legs pushed to her chest, she covers her mouth then too. She really tries, but he has to cover her mouth himself to keep her quiet when he has her face down on the bed. She comes hard and he hates her for it because it feels too good around him.

Joshua is gettting dressed when she finally speaks up. “Do you want to go on a date with me?” 

He finds himself casually agreeing because he’s already decided he’s going to enjoy this a lot more than he thought. 

Minghao is sitting in their dorm room, watching his roommate with a raised eyebrow. Joshua is dressed nicely and he’s just meticulously fixed his hair and applied cologne. “Going somewhere?” Minghao asks lightly. 

“I have a date,” Joshua says and Minghao quirks an eyebrow. He doesn’t sound overjoyed about this date. 

“Oh? With who?” Minghao asks. He doesn’t actually care much. Joshua seems like a good guy but he wouldn’t say their particularly close since moving in together. 

“Choi Y/N.”

Minghao nearly spits out his tea all over his computer. “Come again?”

“I have a date with Choi Y/N,” Joshua says easily. 

“Mhm,” Minghao hums. “So I did hear you right. How did that happen?”

Joshua is so casual when he says, “We have a couple classes together. She asked me out after we hooked up.”

“Uh huh,” Minghao nods slowly. “Be careful with that. She’s kind of like playing with fire from what I hear.”

When Joshua smirks at him, Minghao is kind of taken aback. Joshua is usually pretty even-tempered from what he can tell and is very friendly. There’s something a little dark about his look right now. “I can handle it. Besides, I don’t expect it to last.”

“Okay,” Minghao drags out. Joshua slips on shoes and says bye. Something doesn’t feel right about this, but it’s really none of Minghao’s business. 

Joshua joins the troublemakers as he’s affectionately calling them for lunch the day after his date with Y/N. They want the full rundown, even though they were creeping in a booth across the restaurant watching them the whole time. They said they wanted to get a picture for the twitter account, but they didn’t have a good answer when Joshua said not everyone had to go for that. They’re just nosy. 

A few things became apparent about Y/N quickly. The first is that her mood swings wildly depending on the type of attention she’s getting. She likes to be liked. When Joshua responds to her too casually or even coldly, she deflates. When he warms up and gives her a shred of positive attention, she re-inflates, smiling widely. Joshua thinks this is a good thing. Mixed signals may keep her on the hook for longer now that he sees how she responds. 

The second is that she is a hopeless romantic. She likes to hold hands as they walk, swinging them cutely. She beams at him when he does quite literally anything gentlemanly, like walking on the outside of the sidewalk next to the street or holding a door open for her. Joshua thinks this is also a good thing. Those things come naturally to him anyway, so if she’s ever worried about how casual or cold he appears, these little things seem to negate how she feels about that. Again, the goal is to keep her on the hook until he’s ready to let her go. 

The third thing is that she seems to have no clue that her actions have consequences. She’s still clueless about who is pulling the pranks, which have continued and Joshua has even participated in a couple, and she laments that she feels like she’s a nice person and doesn’t deserve any of it. Joshua does everything to bite his tongue and not give away how frustrated he is by her lack of awareness. She is totally oblivious to the effect her short-lived romances have on people and it solidifies the need to give her a taste of her own medicine. 

Because, not that Joshua tells the troublemakers, but there were a few moments during their date that he had to remind himself of why he was here. Those moments were usually when she grinned at him or laughed. She’s a charismatic person and, whether she realizes it or not, she uses it as a weapon constantly. Joshua has to make an active effort to not let it suck him in.

He’s the one that asks her out for the second date while they’re talking after class and he feels smug when she immediately agrees with a big smile. This date is on Saturday and he’s super sweet the whole time. He even wonders if he’s overdone it, but he realizes she’s turned kind of shy. Cute. Also, totally unexpected but will work in his favor. When they stop at the front door of the sorority house, she asks if he wants to come in. He gets a ton of satisfaction out of saying that he’s sorry but he can’t. He watches her face fall, before she’s smiling that slightly insecure smile again, wishing him good night. 

On the third date, he’s back to being mostly disinterested and he has to bite back a smile as she works overtime over dinner to warm him up. He gives her bits and pieces and they work flawlessly. Again, he declines her request to come inside when he drops her off. He’s not interested in sleeping with her again, though he did enjoy how eager she was to please. 

He considers cutting it off right there on the door step of the sorority house. The troublemakers that have dated her gave him a script and asked him to use it when he does finally cut it off. He thinks better of it and wishes her a good night. On the way back to the dorm, he decides to continue with this as long as he feels it’s going well. It’s feeding a need for vengeance as much as it’s healing an open wound of his. He wishes he could pull something like this on Lily, but he also kind of hopes to never see her again. Y/N was the next best thing.

Wonwoo joins Mingyu and his group members for lunch and immediately regrets it. They’ve been gossiping like hens for weeks now and normally Wonwoo would love to stay out of it. He’s learned to tune it out for the most part, but he’s kind of alarmed at the excitement they all have when a strange guy shows up. They introduce him as Joshua. 

“So how’d it go? When are you breaking it off?” Mingyu whisper-yells. They’re in the quad and they don’t want their little plot to get out. 

Joshua gives an unsettling smile. “I don’t think I will yet.” 

“So you think she’s still on the hook?” Jihoon asks excitedly. 

“Almost certain of it,” Joshua responds. 

Wonwoo watches and listens for the duration of lunch, a sick feeling settling in his stomach. Joshua describes in great detail how the last date went and they’re all thrilled. Y/N is certainly not his favorite person, but he feels like this has gone so far beyond a little taste of revenge. He understands that some of them were upset by being dumped, but they seem to want to tear Y/N limb from limb. 

He’s lost in thought when he shows up for his work study. His supervisor tells him there’s someone that needs help troubleshooting an issue on their computer, so Wonwoo shrugs and goes to the repair room. He thinks god must hate him when it’s Y/N that’s sitting there. She gives him an apologetic smile that lacks all of her usual flair. 

“I’ve tried everything. Hopefully you can help me?”

Wonwoo sits across from her, taking her laptop. “What’s the issue?” 

“It won’t power on. My power cord is fine because I tried it on one of my roommates’ computers and the outlet I was using works for a lamp.” Wonwoo is surprised at her answer, or rather how thorough it is. He’s used to the basic ‘I don’t know, it’s just broken’. 

He’s starts by trying a standalone power cord at the work desk and booting it up in safe mode. She’s right though. The screen stays dark. “Might need a new battery,” he mumbles. She sighs. Technically, he’s done everything he’s required to do. It’s not a university laptop and there are limitations to what the department will do for personal devices. But he finds himself saying, “I think I have a couple spare ones we can try though. If that doesn’t work, they can give you a loaner out front until you can get a new one.” She smiles, looking a little relieved at the news, so he tacks on, “No promises about the battery though.”

He gets the spare battery and begins opening the back of the laptop. He would usually not chatter while he works on something like this, but he remembers how his lunch went and his stomach is still churning. “Is this keeping you from working on a lot right now?”

Y/N huffs. “Yeah, it’s really bad timing actually. Isn’t it always, though? I have a research paper due tomorrow and I hope it’s still there if we can get this back on. I also have a ton of assignments to grade for the class I TA for.” 

Wonwoo hums in sympathy, but then he frowns once he gets the back panel off of the laptop. The battery is just… gone. So are the prongs that would activate the battery. They’ve been ripped out. There’s not much he can do about that.

Y/N must be able to tell that things aren’t looking good. “What is it?”

Wonwoo grimaces, looking up at her. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a new battery won’t fix it. Your laptop has been sabotaged.” She looks like she might cry when she sees the jagged spot where the prongs used to be. The crying isn’t a new thing here when they can’t fix something. It usually happens at midterms and finals when everyone is in crunch time. Wonwoo has had to give the bad news that someone’s laptop is shot more than once and he totally gets the reaction. 

Except he’s feeling a lot of sympathy for her because now she is crying. Sobbing even. Uncomfortably, Wonwoo reaches over the work desk and pats her shoulder a couple times. “It’ll be okay. Like I said, loaners are available until you can replace this.” He isn’t sure she even heard him at first, but then she’s wiping her eyes, makeup smearing. He silently hands her a tissue. 

“I’m sorry. It’s been a tough semester so far. This is probably another in a series of pranks. The thing is, I can’t afford to replace it right now. It was one thing when it was glue in hand sanitizer or a glitter bomb, but I don’t have the kind of money to get a new computer.”

Wonwoo feels like he might be consumed by guilt now. He’s sat by idly all semester so far while his roommate and others have tormented her. He thinks she’s right. A little glitter (or a lot of glitter based on the video on twitter) is one thing. The custodians can vacuum and Y/N can shower and wash her clothes. But this is property damage that can’t be fixed. 

Wonwoo decides a few things at once. The first thing is that he’ll bend the rules for Y/N. The loaner laptops suck and most can’t last a single class on battery alone. Plus, they sound like a plane taking off when they’re on. But the department stashes new devices for staff and employees that can be issued by the university if they need it. He’s usually the one to keep inventory and no one with miss it. 

He gets up and comes back and places the laptop and power cord in front of Y/N. “This one’s better than the loaners. Just get it back to me when you can before it’s missed too much.” 

Y/N is still tearful when she thanks him profusely. He pats her a couple more times on the shoulder when she leaves. He also offers to dispose of the trashed laptop, but at the end of his shift he shoves it into his backpack instead. 

When he gets home, he sits down at his PC, making just a few clicks. This is the second thing he’s decided to do. The texts start to flow in quickly but he ignores them. However, he can’t ignore Mingyu when he busts into his room. 

“Did you get our texts?! The app is down.”

“I know,” Wonwoo says, not taking his eyes off of the video game in front of him. 

“What’s wrong with it? How long until it will be back up?”

“Nothing’s wrong. I took it down and I won’t be putting it back up.”

He hears Mingyu stutter. “Why would you do that? We had a deal.” 

Slowly, Wonwoo pressed pause on his game and turned to face Mingyu. He’s lived with him for over two years now and thought he knew him pretty well, but he doesn’t really recognize him anymore. “I refuse to play a role in torturing that poor girl anymore. I know I can’t do much to stop whatever else you do outside of the app, but you won’t be able to use it as a tool anymore.”

Mingyu stammers. “But we had a deal! And since when is she a ‘poor girl’? She’s a monster.”

“She’s a poor girl when you guys prank her over and over again, up to destroying her laptop. I’m doing you a favor by not reporting that, by the way. And then whatever you guys are doing with Joshua. You might not like her, but I don’t think she’d ever be as cruel as you guys are being,” Wonwoo snaps. He’s up out of his chair, dragging the broken laptop out of his bag and slamming it down on his bed. The back is still off with the battery still very much missing. 

Mingyu scoffs like he doesn’t feel guilty at all and it disgusts Wonwoo. Mingyu doesn’t try to deny anything about the laptop, barely glancing at it. “Like she can’t afford another one. All she has to do is ask her daddy for a new one.”

“Really? Because when she was crying her eyes out in my repair room earlier, she said she couldn’t afford to replace it. You guys are tricking her with Joshua and pranking her relentlessly - fine, get your revenge. But now you’re destroying property and jeopardizing her academics and work study. Where’s the fucking line, Mingyu?”

“There is no line,” Mingyu snapped heatedly. “We don’t need your help anyway. We’ve got it handled on our own.” With that, Mingyu marched out, slamming Wonwoo’s door. 

Wonwoo stared off into space before a long time before finally closing out of his game. The third thing that he decided was that he would be trying to take down that damned twitter account again. 

Seungcheol is concerned. 

He's always concerned for his sister, don’t get him wrong. She’s got such a soft heart that he’s always been protective of her. There’s also a little twin telepathy, so he knows something is up. He’s seen the pranks on the twitter account, and at first she’d laughed it off. She’s got a good sense of humor and can take a joke. 

He’s confused when he finds her at the gym, sitting in the bleachers with a new laptop. Well, maybe not new, but it’s different. They’d bought matching ones together a couple years ago when there was a deal and this is not the same one he has in his own bag. “New computer?”

She’s frowning behind the screen. She should really be getting ready for cheer practice in the locker room, but she doesn’t look like she’s moving anytime soon. “It’s a loaner. Someone sabotaged mine.”

“What?” Seungcheol hisses. “What do you mean someone sabotaged your laptop? Do you know who?” He should also be in the locker room now preparing for basketball practice, but he’s rooted in his spot. 

“No,” Y/N said glumly. “Probably the same person that’s done the rest of the pranks, if I had to guess.” She sighs, looking over the screen at Seungcheol. “Cheol, am I a bad person? Is that why this keeps happening?”

Seungcheol is sitting next to her immediately, hugging her. He feels her pain and he hates it. She’s usually so joyful. “No, of course not. I don’t know why you’re being targeted, everyone loves you.”

“Maybe not,” she laughs humorlessly. “I thought it was playful at first, but now I have to figure out how to replace this laptop so I can return it.” She says this into Seungcheol’s shoulder. 

Seungcheol hesitates, but finally says, “Why don’t you ask Appa? He’d send you a new one?” 

Just as he expected, she scoffs though, pulling away from him and wiping under her eyes. It looks like her makeup is long gone and it’s totally unlike her to be without it. “You know I won’t do that. I don’t want his money or anything else from him.” It has a bite to it that only comes out for this topic. Seungcheol is usually the one that is quick to anger, but he can’t hold a candle to Y/N’s anger when it comes to their father. 

“I know. You don’t have to be friendly. He likes to throw money at the problem though, and it could help here,” he says gently. 

“I don’t want a single red cent,” she huffs. A girl steps out of the women’s locker room and waves Y/N over. They must be waiting for her. She stuffs her things into her bag. “I’ll see you later. Don’t be late for practice,” she says as she starts climbing down the bleachers. 

He already is but it doesn’t matter. They won’t start without him. Most players are already out on the court, though they’re just goofing off. Seungcheol lets it slide, going into the locker room to change. He’s the only one in the aisle. He’s pulling on a shirt when he hears someone in the next aisle over. It sounds like Kim Mingyu and he must have answered his phone and naturally Seungcheol can only hear one side of the conversation.

“Hello? I can’t talk long, I’m late for practice… No,” Mingyu sighs. “Wonwoo wouldn’t turn the app back on. He’s being a prick, defending her. But it doesn’t matter.” 

Seungcheol is about to close his locker when something makes his blood run cold. He hears Mingyu say, “Joshua’s still got her on the hook. That’ll do for now until he dumps her.”

Seungcheol leans against the locker, clenching his fist. He’s pretty sure Joshua is the name of the guy that Y/N has been seeing. He debates on whipping around the corner to interrogate Kim Mingyu immediately, but he thinks better of it as his teammate hangs up and leaves. Maybe he’s misinterpreted the one sided conversation. He has no context, but he’s left unsettled. He knows Mingyu took Y/N dumping him hard. A lot of men do. But he’d never thought anyone would seek vengeance for something like that. 

While he debates on what to do during practice, he takes great enjoyment in making Kim Mingyu run laps. He always kind of hated the guy anyway. If Seungcheol’s right, this is just another reason. 

Y/N is elated when Seungcheol and Jeonghan invite she and Joshua for a triple date. She’s been on multiple dates with Joshua now and really likes him. When she tells her brother and best friend that, they say they’d love to meet him. 

So they’re at the movie theater on Friday night. The theater is running a showing of Night of the Living Dead and Y/N is so thrilled when Joshua smiles at her and agrees to go with them. She’s even more thrilled that he seems to enjoy the movie. He holds her hand but it’s not because she’s scared, or even because he is. The two sorority sisters, Byeol and Sora, that Seungcheol and Jeonghan are with don’t fare so well, but her brother and best friend remind her all the time that that’s the entire point. They want the girls to cling to them. 

They’re walking out of the theater when Joshua tells her he was reminded why it’s one of his favorite movies. Y/N can feel the heart eyes she’s wearing. 

Things seem to be going so well that she’s not even fazed when Seungcheol and Jeonghan start interrogating Joshua at dinner afterwards. Joshua is so poised and has an answer for everything. He’s a transfer student and is set to graduate next semester. He moved for a change of scenery. He’s pre-med like Y/N but he’s interested in internal medicine. He sheepishly says that Y/N got him in for an internship in that department in the hospital next semester. 

Y/N thinks it went so well that she’s totally stunned when Seungcheol and Jeonghan encourage her to break up with Joshua the following Monday. They don’t have any specific reasons, just that they don’t think he’s right for her. 

She’s staring at them blankly. They have to sit inside the stuffy library because it’s nearly November and it’s getting too cold. “What do you mean he’s not right for me? He seems perfect.”

“Too perfect, perhaps,” Seungcheol frowns at her, but there’s something about his eyes that give him away. He doesn’t like Joshua. 

“Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be? I mean if you find the right person, shouldn’t it be easy?” Y/N insisted. 

“Oh, you sweet summer child,” Jeonghan sighed and he actually looked like he was in a bit of pain at her naivety. “Look, Y/N, you know I love you right?” Y/N nods, because he might be a menace, but he’s always had her back and isn’t shy about telling her that. “You can ultimately do what you want, but something doesn’t feel right about this. I mean, can you name a single flaw of his?”

Y/N laughed. “Is being flawless a problem? You say you are all the time.”

Jeonghan doesn’t laugh though. He looks a little exasperated actually. “Yes, it’s a problem! I have a ton of flaws, starting with being in denial about having any flaws!”

Y/N frowns and finds she can’t look at them across the table. “I really like him. He’s nice, and funny, and a gentleman. What he wants for his future aligns with mine. And not that it’s important, but he’s great in bed.” Her eyes shoot up when the two men sigh. 

“Angel, when did you sleep with him? I thought we agreed to slow it down some,” Jeonghan asked, trying not to scold her. He was right, they had agreed that she’d be more careful. Jaehyun had talked a lot of game about how he would be getting with her and Jeonghan had insisted she break it off. He had said it was one thing if sex came with the admiration that most men had for her. But occasionally, some of them just wanted to hit it while they could because they viewed her as easy. Jeonghan and Seungcheol had worried for years that she’d eventually get taken advantage of because of her sweet, trusting nature. 

After the event with Jaehyun, Jeonghan had strongly suggested that she avoid sleeping with anyone that she was dating for a while. It seems that hadn’t mattered when it came to Joshua. 

“A while back, before we started dating,” Y/N finally admits. She kind of feels like a child when they both gave her admonishing looks and she can’t help but pout. “But then he agreed to go out with me when I asked!”

Another admonishing look for both of them, but increasing in intensity. Seungcheol’s eyes scream disappointment. “Honey, since when do you do the asking?”

Y/N didn’t really have a good answer for that, except for ‘never’. But they already knew that. She wasn’t even sure what had possessed her to ask that night. She was so excited that he’d come over that the words had just spilled out. She feels positively dejected now admitting all of this. 

Jeonghan doesn’t let her look like that long though. He stands up. “Come on. Let’s go get some coffee. I’ll even pay.” She follows blindly when Seungcheol asks if Jeonghan is paying for him to. She also ignores the subsequent argument. She doesn’t even order for herself when they get to the cafe on campus. Not like she has to when both of them know her order by heart. Jeonghan and Seungcheol drop the topic for now, but the insecurity she keeps feeling when it comes to Joshua is back. Maybe they’re right. Maybe she should cut it off. 

Joshua met the troublemakers for dinner on his night off. He didn’t think anything of it when Jihoon had insisted they all meet to catch up. He’d actually come to enjoy their company and they’d even started talking about things unrelated to Y/N. He kind of expected that this would be a casual dinner but he was wrong. He had to ask Jihoon to repeat himself a couple times. 

“You think I should be love bombing?” 

Jihoon nods insistently. “Yes. I happened to overhear her in the library earlier. Her brother and Jeonghan were trying to talk her into dumping you. And you’re right, she’s still very much on the hook, but I’m not sure how long she will be. She seemed upset by the conversation.”

Joshua isn’t totally surprised by that. It was obvious that Seungcheol and Jeonghan didn’t care much for him. Y/N had seemed none the wiser at dinner on Friday and Joshua was kind of banking on it staying that way. The thing is, it was painfully obvious how naive she was. He had moments where he started to feel bad because it was just so easy. At the same time, he thought it was funny for her to have dated like she had but still have no idea she’s being played. 

“Well, what do you suggest?” Joshua asks the table. They don’t have much to offer, but then he remembers that they all only got three dates, while Joshua is on date seven. He shrugs when there are too many beats of silence. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll figure it out.”

He starts simply. He starts visiting her in her TA office between classes to see her for a bit and have a snack. He turns down an Oreo when she offers him one for the open container in her desk drawer. She takes one bite into it and spits it out almost immediately. He plays the role of good boyfriend and babies her, asking her what’s wrong. When she tells him it was filled with toothpaste he pretends to be appalled as if he didn’t buy the tube himself. Nevertheless, she folds when he says he can’t believe anyone is still targeting her with their pranks. 

He also kicks up the PDA a notch when they are together. She seems to be enjoying it, even seeking it out sometimes, albeit shyly. He has to remind himself that he hates her. 

That’s been happening a lot lately. Today is Sunday, and he’s in the kitchen of the sorority house baking with Y/N. She’s got a little powdered sugar on her cheek and he thinks she looks cute. He even wipes it off her cheek without really thinking about it. She smiles up at him with a whisk in her hand and he has to picture a snake instead, because that’s what she’s supposed to be. 

They’re sitting in her room now, eating their desserts while they talk. The troublemakers had insisted he start spending time alone with her in private. He didn’t think it was a bad idea, but he hates how cute she looks in her hot pink pajama pants. Something about how comfortable she’s getting around him is unsettling. 

One of her roommates knocks on the open bedroom door and gives her a package. Y/N doesn’t look surprised by it but she doesn’t look totally pleased either. Joshua watches as she slices the box open, revealing a new laptop. “Ooo, that’s nice,” he muses. “What happened to your other one?” He already knows the answer.

“It’s busted,” she says shortly. “I’ve been using a loaner for a few weeks.” 

“This must have set you back some,” Joshua comments lightly. He’d heard from Mingyu that her father would probably be replacing it. That suspicion is confirmed when she sighs. 

“Yeah, my pride maybe. I had to ask my dad for help on it.”

“Generous dad,” Joshua says, still trying to keep things light, but he’s sensed something dark about her mood as soon as the package arrived. It’s so uncommon that it takes him by surprise.

Y/N laughs humorlessly. “He’s good at throwing money at a problem, that’s for sure. Wish I didn’t have to take anything from him, but I wouldn’t have been able to afford it myself and I really need to return the loaner.” 

This gives Joshua pause. Mingyu had painted her as a spoiled rich girl and Joshua had blindly accepted it because she did give off that vibe. Finally, he carefully asks, “Are… you guys not close?”

Another humorless laugh. “No,” she scoffs. “Not since he busted fifteen years of marriage for his secretary that’s half his age.” Joshua frowns and she must have realized what she said, so she gives him an apologetic look. “Sorry, that was probably too much. It’s just a sore subject.” “Y/N… that sucks. I’m sorry.” Joshua means it. He’s been blessed with two supportive parents that love each other and are the example of a nearly perfect relationship. He finds himself asking, “Are you close to your mom?” He kind of hopes the answer is yes, even though he hates her.

This lightens Y/N right up even though she’s handling the laptop she didn’t want now. “Yeah, she’s kind of my hero. She’s done everything for Seungcheol and I since the divorce, even if it was hard on her. I wish I could visit her more, but I talk to her nearly every day.”

Joshua’s chest warms. It’s sweet to think about. Unlike all the other things that are sweet about her that he hates, he doesn’t hate this one. He finds himself genuinely smiling at her. “That’s good. I miss my parents a lot, but our timezones never really work out now so it’s just the occasional text.”

Y/N’s expression is sympathetic. “I’m sorry. It has to be hard being so far away from them.” She bites her lip. “Can I ask… why did you move if you’re so close to them?”

He doesn’t know why he even thinks about answering. It’s something he hasn’t really answered for anyone here, though they’ve asked. He should be too busy hating her and plotting against her. Joshua laughs a little, sitting on the bed next to the box. “It’s kind of stupid, actually.”

“Try me,” Y/N says kindly, moving the box and sitting next to him. Their knees touch and Joshua feels so dumb for being momentarily distracted by it. 

He feels lame when he answers. “I ended a long term relationship and there were too many memories back home. I didn’t intend to move across the world initially, but when I was accepted here I took it immediately.”

He hates her again, because she’s giving him a sweet sympathetic smile. He hates her because it seems genuine. “I’m sorry. It must have been some breakup to need to get away like that.”

“Yeah,” he laughs but it sounds a little empty. “To the tune of being cheated on for three years straight with multiple people.” He hates her again because she hisses, face still kind and sympathetic. 

“Damn. I’m sorry. I can’t imagine that.”

He bets she can’t right now, but she’ll live something like it soon. 

She’s oblivious to his internal struggles and continues. “I might not be the best at dating, but if I had something good for three years, I wouldn’t jeopardize it like that. I wish I had something that lasted.” Awkwardly, she glances up at him. She looks a little embarrassed. “I know we just started dating so I don’t want to make any assumptions about how you feel. I do like you though, Joshua.”

She’s so disarming that it’s making him a little weak. He’s been here before, but now he’s aware that he might as well be staring down the barrel of a gun again.

Lily had that affect too. She’d smile or act cute and it had him folding at the snap of a finger. He hadn’t realized all the red flags until it was far too late. 

The whole point of this experiment, if they could even call it that anymore, was to bring Y/N down and Joshua agreed because she’s just like Lily in that way. She bats her eye and smiles and gets whatever she wants. 

And yet, Joshua is weak for her just like he was for Lily. Maybe because he’s seeing things in Y/N that aren’t like Lily at all. Lily was materialistic, while Y/N has very little decor around her room, likes thrifting, and hates accepting gifts from her father. Lily thrived on the way people admired her but Joshua now recognized it was because they could be manipulated because of it. Y/N seems shockingly innocent in that regard. Oblivious maybe, but she’s not malicious. And whereas Lily would use tears and guilt tripping to get what she wanted, Y/N has just carefully admitted her feelings without putting pressure on him.

Joshua is staring at her while he thinks of all this and he doesn’t stop her when she leans in to kiss him. It’s very careful compared to the last time they kissed, way back before she’d asked him out. 

He really hates her because he folds just like he would with Lily. He holds Y/N’s face and returns the kiss without much thought. It’s Joshua who begins to escalate things this time, starting with a hand on her upper thigh. He feels the tension in his body getting tighter because he hates how his heart races and how good it feels when he tugs on her waist and she climbs into his lap, straddling him. 

He’s about to push her back on the bed when she gets up and locks her bedroom door. She told him earlier that it’s against the house rules to lock your bedroom door with a guy in here but it seems she’s willing to break them for him today. When she’s back in arms reach, he pulls her to him gently. This is so different than the first time they were together. It’s all soft touches and kisses. He’s soft when he asks if he can undress her unlike his commands the last time and when she says yes his movements are also slow and gentle. When he’s inside of her, her breath is gentle on his neck and lips as are the soft noises she makes as he slowly fucks into her. If you could call it that. It feels far too romantic to be fucking this time around. 

He finds he likes it more like this and yet he hates it. 

He’s got to get out now. This can’t go on. 

Joshua watches the troublemakers deflate when he tells them he’s going to break things off. They were enjoying the chaos they were causing and don’t want the primary method for that to stop. Joshua knows they’re still enjoying the pranking - they have rolls and rolls of Christmas wrapping paper to prove it for their next idea and Joshua doesn’t ask because he doesn’t want to know. 

And he knows they’ve enjoyed this vindictive game that Joshua has been the pawn for. But he won’t budge on ending it ASAP. They seem to let that go until they find out he’s going to break things off quietly. 

“What was this whole thing for if it all ends quietly?” Mingyu looks so confused. 

Joshua is staying firm. He answers Mingyu through a bite of his stir fry. “Don’t you think we’ve done enough? I break it off quietly, she knows what it’s like, and we can all call it a day. Or a semester really.”

“But what about my twitter account?” Seungkwan laments. “Can I at least get some details to post about after you do it?” 

Joshua sighs. “Sure.”

Jihoon narrows his eyes. “Why are you so eager to stop everything? We haven’t even been feeding you ideas lately. That’s all been you.” Joshua doesn’t answer and he ignores Jihoon’s scoff. “Don’t tell me she got to you.” 

“No, she didn’t get to me,” Joshua said firmly. “But the job is done. She’s hooked. She’s admitted she likes me a lot and it shows because we been dating for nearly two months. Exactly how long were you guys planning to drag this out? Your assignment is pretty much done.” He knows because he’s seen it himself. They’ve gotten the results that they wanted, yet they keep saying they need ‘more data’. That data doesn’t seem to be for the assignment anymore. 

Seokmin sighs. “Look, I know she’s disarming. It’s okay if she did get to you. But you need to let us finish this how we intended. We agreed to an exposé after you break it off. Are you backing out of that?”

Joshua doesn’t answer right away. He had agreed to it. Hell, he’d been the one to suggest it. It felt like the cherry on top of this unofficial document that they had drafted. One final push to make Choi Y/N fall from grace. 

Yet he finds himself saying. “I don’t think we should do it. Let me break it off quietly, Seungkwan can post a little blurb about it, and then we call it a day.”

Mingyu’s looking at him hard now. “You slept with her again, didn’t you?”

Joshua scoffs, regretting that he mentioned the first time to them. “It doesn’t matter. If we take this much farther, this will blow up in everyone’s face.” 

“It does matter,” Jihoon insists. “We told you in the beginning that you can’t let her worm her way in.” 

“She didn’t ‘worm her way in’,” Joshua snaps. “You think I don’t know girls like Y/N? Why do you think I agreed to this?” All four of his companions look angry, but so is Joshua. He stands up with his tray. “Look, let me break up with her quietly this afternoon and then you guys can post whatever the fuck you want. But I’m done with this after today.” They don’t stop him when he walks away. After he drops off his tray, he takes out his phone and unfollows the gossip twitter account. He doesn’t care to see what they do with it next. 

 “Why are you so giddy? It’s irritating,” Jeonghan says from her bed. He’s come over to the sorority house under the guise of getting help with his math homework, but he has yet to crack open a book or even pull it out of his backpack for that matter. Instead, he’s totally wrinkled her covers and tossed some of her pillows on the floor in an effort to get comfortable. 

But Y/N is giddy. She’s still thinking about yesterday when Joshua was over. She’d hooked up with a fair number of people, but that had been different for her. He was so sweet and gentle and it had made her melt. 

“It’s nothing,” she says from her desk. She would normally not keep a secret from Jeonghan. She can only think of a few occasions that she’s done so as long as she’s known him. But she didn’t want his look of disappointment to ruin her high. 

But the thing about knowing someone as long as she and Jeonghan have known each other is that you can’t get away with much. Jeonghan looks sly when she turns around to face him. “Someone got fucked.” Jeonghan nearly cackles at the blush that overtakes Y/N’s face. “And fucked good at that.”

“Jeonghan! Do you have no manners?” She scolds, but she’s also biting back a giggle. 

“No,” Jeonghan says shamelessly. “Tell me, was he better than me?” 

“Jeonghan!” Y/N shouts, too shocked to laugh right away. They don’t often talk about losing their first kisses to each other at 14 and losing their virginities to each other at 16, mostly because it had never affected their friendship. But sometimes, Jeonghan likes to surprise her with a mention of it just to embarrass her. 

But it doesn’t embarrass her the way he seems to think it does. She’s not embarrassed to have slept with Jeonghan once upon a time. He was sweet and he knew her so well even back then. She couldn’t imagine it being with anyone else. That was why she was comfortable pitching the idea to him in the first place. 

Plus there was always this little, tiny, microscopic crush that she suppressed. It didn’t go anywhere even after they kissed or had sex, so she let it go. But the mention of it makes her feel warm only because it’s Jeonghan that says it. 

Jeonghan’s laughing loudly. “It’s okay, you can answer honestly.” 

Y/N huffs. “You know it’s not like that with us.”

Jeonghan’s laugh is lighter. “I know, angel.” He pauses for a moment and it seems like he decides to continue. “I’m happy it’s going well. I know we gave you a hard time about him, but if you’re happy we will be too.”

Y/N smiles warmly at him. That’s why he’s her best friend. “Thanks, Hannie. Now are you ever going to do your homework?” 

Jeonghan groans, crawling under the covers. 

Joshua is in his biostats class when it happens. Phones buzz across desks and the instructor looks annoyed but continues lecturing. Joshua is in the front of the class, so he can only hear reactions to the notification. People gasp and whispers break out. There’s even some laughter. The instructor tries to call things to order, but it’s no use. He calls the class to an end ten minutes early with a warning about phone usage during lectures. 

On his way out, Joshua sees Y/N frozen at her desk. She’s got her phone in her hand and she looks like she’s not breathing. She looks like she might even cry. 

Good. He doesn’t stay to watch the show. It’s satisfying enough to see the excitement bubbling around campus. It’s because the exposé has been posted. 

Despite saying they shouldn’t do it and that he wanted nothing to do with it if they did, he’d changed his mind as he left the sorority house yesterday afternoon. One of her housemates had let him in and pointed him upstairs, saying Y/N was home. He’s giving himself a pep talk all the way up the stairs and down the hall to her room. He should be kind but straight to the point. He even debates using the phrase that the troublemakers had fed him, because something about throwing it back in her face like that feels too mean now. 

Her bedroom door is cracked and he’s just about to knock when he hears a male voice inside. He’s not sure who it is so he waits for a beat. 

“Tell me, was he better than me?” 

Joshua’s frozen in place. He hears Y/N gasp and yell, “Jeonghan!” Then she’s giggling. 

Jeonghan must find it funny too. “It’s okay, you can answer honestly.” 

Y/N huffs. “You know it’s not like that with us.”

Jeonghan’s laughing again, but there’s something a little too intimate about it. “I know, angel.” 

Joshua quietly exited because he didn't need to hear anymore. He shouldn’t be surprised. He’d been warned over and over again. He also remembered how Mingyu had called Jeonghan the male version of Y/N. They really were a match made in hell, as Jihoon had said that day in the courtyard. 

Joshua had barely gotten around the corner from the sorority house before he pulled out his phone and sent a message. ‘Never mind. Do the exposé.’

They don’t need to be told twice and it’s not very kind. Joshua knows because he helped write it. Seungkwan was even hesitant to post it but it promises a major reaction. 

It seems he got over that hesitancy. Joshua feels smug as he walks back to his dorm. He might even follow the twitter account again just to see the downfall.

Think you know Choi Y/N? Campus it girl. Sorority girl. Cheerleader. Straight A student. Sure, I guess.

But do you know her dating history? 

Let’s start with this summer. She met Lee Jihoon at a bar and went on exactly three dates with him. 

On her birthday (at which point she hadn’t ended things with Jihoon yet), she slept with Kim Mingyu, then they went on exactly three dates. 

Then her next victim was Lee Seokmin. He also got exactly three dates… before she was spotted getting cozy with Jeong Jaehyun minutes after Seokmin received her message letting him down easy.

You’re starting to get the point, I’m sure. This is nothing new since she’s been doing this for years now. 

And now, Joshua Hong, transfer student. Except Y/N won’t know until she reads this that it was all a set up. If you’ve been wronged by Choi Y/N, then you know she deserves a taste of her own medicine and she’s got it now. 

Especially when she says she really likes Joshua Hong and dates him for two months (a record!) while sleeping with Yoon Jeonghan on the side. Anyone else have a Choi Y/N story they’d like to share?

CHAPTER THREE: ONE FOR THE ROAD

Spring Of 1979 - Beginning of "Heaven is Here" Tour

The group breakfast before hitting the road was a tradition since the Day6 days. and that year, the crew at the restaurant were a little bit bigger. Tea arrived at the restaurant wearing sunglasses and with her Polaroid camera around her neck. Her bag was full of film so she could take a lot of pictures. The Polaroid thing started like a hobby, but then turned into an addiction, she would carry the camera everywhere. She had a bunch of boxes full of pictures in her house.

Seungcheol and Jeonghan made sure to not let the boys be late this time, they were the first to get in the restaurant and started eating right away.

Tea arrived alongside Woozi, Dino and Jun, there was no sight of Joshua or Mya yet. Mingyu got really excited to see her, so she ordered a coffee and went to talk to her. She was talking with Woozi sitting by a table.

"Good, morning." He greeted Woozi, then turned to Tea. "I brought you coffee, I didn't know which one you prefer so I brought something sweet." Mingyu said, handing her the cup. His fangs showed while he smiled.

"Oh that was very kind." She said, smiling, then frowned. "But I don't drink coffee, darling."

Dino who was talking to Wonwoo not far away and saw Mingyu handing her the coffee cup headed in her direction, jumping like a little excited kid.

"Is this Tea with a coffee cup?" He asked.

"Yes, you can have it, baby." She said, handing him the coffee.

"Thanks mom." He said in an affected voice, then went back to where he was talking to Wonwoo, Vernon and Jun were thin now.

"Sorry." She said, apologizing to him and tried to get up.

"What do you like to drink then?" Mingyu asked, making her stop on her tracks.

"I'm British." She said with a big smile. "So I drink tea, darling."

"Which flavor do you like? I'll get you some tea." He said, already getting up.

"Oh it's okay, you don't have to." She started, but he interrupted her.

"Strawberry, I bet you like strawberry tea. I'll be right back!" He said, heading to the restaurant counter.

She liked strawberry tea, but it wasn't by far her favorite. She preferred stronger flavors with no sugar. But Mingyu was already in a mission so she couldn't tell him that. And she actually didn't liked the way Americans served tea, so she was probably going to hate any tea they had in the restaurant anyways. But since she already had denied his coffee, she could at least pretend she liked the tea, just for this time.

"He look very invested on making you like him." Woozi said, laughing.

"The poor fella it's making all the wonrg choices tho." You said, making Woozi laugh even more.

Mingyu was back really quick, sitting across from her, beside Woozi, handing her the tea, watching her every move, really curious about her reaction. She sipped just a bit of the tea, and forced a smile towards him.

"Mmm, delicious." She said, making him smile.

"Min, come here." Wonwoo called Mingyu, and he excused himself and went to meet his friend. As he got up, Tea saw Minghao at the door, he greeted everyone on the way and went to her table."

"Good morning." He said, sitting beside Woozi.

"You look like you didn't sleep well." Tea commented.

"And do I ever sleep the night before day one?! It's impossible." He said, making her laughed. She sipped her tea again.

"Oh god, I can't." She said making a disgusted face to the tea "This is terrible."

"I brought real tea." Minghao said sitting right in front of Tea in the restaurant, putting his small suitcase where he carried his traveling tea kit.

"Oh thanks the lord." She said, pushing away the cup of tea Mingyu brought her earlier. "You just made my day, darling." She called a waitress and asked for a kettle of hot water and a clean teacup.

Hao was already opening the suitcase, displaying a large variety of small recipients full of different tea leaves and Tea could cry just by that vision, so she took a picture of him while he was doing his magic. Her tea was almost ready when Mya and Joshua crossed the door and walked towards their table.

Joshua was carrying a gift box, a big smile on his face while he sat beside her.

"Good morning." He said, and Tea gave him a kiss, then catch her camera to take picture of his cute expression.

"How many pictures did you take already?" Mya asked, pouring herself some coffee.

"That was actually the first one." Tea explained "Then took a picture of her friend drinking he coffee.

"Let me borrow this for a second." Mya asked, reaching for the camera."I want to take a picture of you too.

"Yes, take a picture of her opening her gift." Shua said.

"What gift?" Tea's voice got higher as she got excited.

Mingyu who as at a near table ad heard the commotion, looked on T

"Open and you'll see." He said, handing her the box.

"This is from both of us, by the way." Mya explained, exchanging a look with Joshua before Tea opened the box. "And this one is from the four of us." Mya said, putting another box on the table.

On the first box were an orange film camera, it was s beautiful.

"This is so beautiful." She said. "I loved the color. Thank you."

Mya exchange a significant look with Mingyu, who throws her a wink while smiling widely.

"Open the bigger one." Mya suggested

The other box was a lot bigger, and inside of it there was a really different camera.

"It's a Super 8." Joshua explained "It's a video camera And with this one you can also record audio simultaneously."

"We thought would be a nice upgrade to your photography thing." Mya added.

Tea was covering her mouth, in shock. That was an amazing gift, and she was lost of words because of that.

"This is amazing, thank you guys." She said 'I really loved it"

"Go ahead take a picture of us on your new camera." Minghao said, pulling Joshua and Mya closer.

"Jun, Dino go to the other side of the table so you are in the picture too!" Tea ordered and they obeyed.

She had took a couple of pictures when Mingyu got closer.

"Do you want to join then in the picture?" He asked, pointing to the camera. I can area picture for you."

"Yes, thank you." She said handling him the camera.

"Ok, on one two three, cheese." Mingyu said then took he picture.

"Thank you." Tea said again, when he gave her back he camera.

"So you are into photos." He said, sitting beside her at the table taking Dino's place.

"Yes " she said simply.

"You know... I was apart of the photography club in high school. I even study I few semesters of photography in college."

"Really?" She said, looking excited to talk to him for the first time since hey met.

"I have one of his cameras, mine is black. It's in my bag." He pointed. "I can give you some tips on how to use it, if you want.can give.

"Oh I would love to, thank you " she was very polite, and really look forward to it. Mingyu was proud to finally being able to hold a conversation with her without her running away.

"I hope we have time for that on the road." He said.

"I'm looking forward to it." She said, then nodded politely and walk away, back to her friends.

"Why don't you go around and take some pictures?" Dink suggested.

"Would you be in charge of the pictures? I want to try to record some things with the video camera." She pointed out.

"Okay." Dino nodded and take the camera, going around to take some pictures of the breakfast.

Mya was peaking at both of then having fun taking pictures and filming everyone around. She got up to grab some coffee.

Seungcheol followed her to the counter.

"Morning." He said, his voice was raspy and he looked sleepy.

"Hi." She said, pouring herself a big mug of coffee.

"Isn't that too much coffee?" He asked.

"Isn't that too much of a intrusion of you to say how much coffee I should drink?" She teased him, then turn away. She went to the door, passing by Dino and Tea photographing Hoshi and Seungkwan, who were making funny poses. She went outside, needing some fresh morning air before getting stuck on a bus for hours. Seungcheol followed her.

She leaned by the restaurant wall, closing her eyes and sighing.

"Do you mind If I join you?" Seungcheol asked

"Will you go away If I told you to?" She asked, looking at him with a disgusted face.

"Do you really want me to go?" He asked, and stated at her for a feel seconds.

"Whatever." She said, taking a cigarette from her pocket.

Seungcheol walked towards her, stopping by her side, his shoulder touching hers.

"Did you enjoy your meal that day?" Mya asked, putting the cigarette between her lips.

"It was nice." He said. "I paid for it by the way."

"I know." She said. "The waiter told me."

Seungcheol blinked, surprised.

"Would it be that bad if a girl paid for you meal?" She teased him.

"That's not the point. We agreed that I was going to pay, I am a man of word." Be said.

"Well, that's good to know." She said. "I will remember that in the future."

"So, have you decided to give me and bandmasters a chance after our conversation?" He asked.

"I thought you didn't want me to like you." She teased him.

"Well, I might have changed my mind, maaybe I want to know you better, maybe even become friends." He said.

"Well... Let's see what happen." She said, winking at him, he a loud horn sounded, getting her attention.

She turned around covering her eyes because of the sun, and saw two big super colorful busses entering the restaurant parking lot, he horn came form he first bus, where she could see Dokyeom beside the driver. When he busses parked, he came out to greet her.

"You really know how to make an entrance." She said, still a bit shocked.

"Did you like he busses? They are awesome, right?!" He asked, really excited.

"The are early colorful." Seungcheol pointed out.

"We need to be seen, my friend." Dokyeom said. "I'll get in, I'm starving!"

DK then entered the restaurant, kicking the door open and making a dramatic entrance.

"Daddy is here kids!" He exclaimed, making everyone inside surprised and confused. "Hope you are all ready to hit the road." He said, walking around like the crazy fool he was, going straight to where Woozi was looking at him with a disappointed expression.

"Can you behave for the sake of the integrity of this place?" Woozi said "If you break anything I'm the one paying for it."

"Don't worry, I won't break anything." DK said, taking a cup of coffee.

"Os everything ready?" Woozi asked.

"Sure, I didn't sleep in thirty hours, but everything is set up. All the equipment, luggage, the busses filled with gas, the rout set and the hotel reservations done. I'm the best, you can admit."

"Congratulations for doing you job." Woozi said, annoyed. "Well since you are here and Everything is settled, I can go back to my work. Good luck on the road." Woozi said and went to say goodbye and wish luck to the members of the respective bands, but couldn't find Mya or Seungcheol, which he though was weird.

But when stepped out of the restaurant, they were together, smoking and talking.

"Are you leaving already?" Mya asked, looking at him.

"Yeah, since DK is here, I can go back to the studio." Woozi explained. "Come here, give me a hug so I can go." He said, opening his arms to welcome the girl who hugged him tightly. "Good luck." He said, then got closer to Seungcheol. "Good luck for you too, and don't forget what we talked about."

Seungcheol nodded, and Mya looked suspicious to both of then, but didn't said anything. It definitely had something that she wasn't aware of what was happening, and she would end up finding out, even though they were trying to hide it from her.

Soon, half of the crew was outside, led by DK, to see the busses. Tea was taking pictures of Jun and Dino who were joking around, Hoshi was vibrating from excitement, literally. Everyone else looked really happy and excited to hit the road, Joshua was smiling non-stop, even Wonwoo, who was more collected, looked excited in his quiet way, with a small smile on his lips. Mya looked for Mingyu, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Tea got closer to Mya grabbing by her hand, pulling her to take some more pictures with her band mates and the other boys.

"C'mon everybody, I want a picture of the whole group!" Tea said. Everyone was there except for Mingyu. She took some pictures of the group, and asked one of the staff members to take one of her with the group too. Then everyone started to get ready to embarking on the busses.

"Where is Mingyu?" Jeonghan asked, he just had a small Reunion with DK and Minghao about the logistics of the trip and was checking some stuff before they go.

"Have no idea." Vernon said, and no one seemed to know where he was.

"I'll go find him, Maybe he's in the bathroom." Wonwoo commented, and went looking for his friend.

Wonwoo looked for Mingyu through the restaurant, and the inside bathrooms, but couldn't find him, until he heard his voice on a back room. He got closer and heard he laughing and the moans, the he knew exactly what he was doing. He knocked on the door, calling for him.

"Mingyu, everyone is ready to go, we are just waiting for you." Wonwoo said inpatient.

It took just a few seconds till he opened the door and a flustered waitress to got out of the room, she was fixing her clothes and hair, and looked at Wonwoo full of embarrassment.

Mingyu on his turn was with a quirk grim on his face, looking really relaxed and satisfied.

"Dude." Wownoo said, shaking his head in disapproval.

"What?" Minguy said, pretending to be confused. "Can't I have some fun before hitting the road? C'mon, I don't even know when I'll get the chance to be with a pretty girl like this since we are going to a long trip."

"I guess there are waitress and maids on the road too." Wonwoo said, knowing his friend very well.

"Yeah... And there's always our new girl friends." Mingyu teased him.

"Dude, you need to stop saying thing like this." Wonwoo scolded him, but Mingyu didn't take it serious. "Now let's go, Jeonghan it's probably planning to kill us both by now."

Mingyu just laughed and followed his friend to the bus.

******

"I guess there are waitress and maids on the road too." Wonwoo said, sounding annoyed.

"Yeah... And there's always our new girl friends." Mingyutetorted, his voice full of pride.

The conversation kept replaying on Dino's mind. He had overheard Wonwoo e Mingyu conversation when he came back to the restaurant to catch a bag he forgot. The other two didn't saw him, but he heard what they were tlking about Mya and Tea. Wonwoo looked really annoyed, bu t Mingyucouldn't care less about how disrespectful he was being.

"Hey, why are you so quiet and so serious?" Tea asked Dino, they had been on the road for at least half an hour by then and he looked lost in thoughts.

"Am I?" He asked, surprised by her question. She nodded, worried. "Sorry, I guess I'm just tired." He lied.

"Already?" She asked, worried.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night, was to excited for today."

"You should take a nap then." Tea suggested. "I'll try to keep Jun quiet and distracted so you can sleep."

"It's okay, I'm not that tired yet." He said smiling.

"Want to play a game?" She asked.

"Sure." He said, trying to distract her from the fact he was s bit off.

"Fortunately..." She started and he smiled. "We are going to our first world tour."

"Unfortunately..." he retorted "It's not just the five of us. Still there's the other band."

"Fortunately they seem good guys." She argued.

"Unfortunately, I have to disagree."

"Fortunately, you will tell me why." She said, more like a suggestion.

"Unfortunately, I don't like then at all." Dino said.

"Why?" She asked. "You seemed like you were enjoying their company earlier today."

"That was strike one, two more and you out." He said, changing the subject back to the game. "Unfortunately, you weren't paying attention to the game." He started the second round.

"That's strike one for you, you should restart the game changing our places." She pointed out.

"My bad." He said, realizing his mistake. "Can I try again?" She nodded.

"Fortunately you are a good friend." He said.

"That's not fair, I don't know how to add an 'unfortunately' after this!" She sulked.

"Then that was strike two." He said, smiling like a naughty kid.

"Fortunately, I start the round now." She said.

"Unfortunately, you can't beat me." He Bragged.

"Fortunately I can still try."

"Unfortunately, for you, I'll still gonna win."

"That's not fair, you always cheats." She complained.

"That's not true, I just want to win at all costs, you shouldn't be so naive and believe I would play fair. Most people don't do so. Where is your competitiveness?"

"I'm competitive, I just like to win with honor." She pointed all.

"Yeah, I know that." He said. "Want to go another round?"

"Oh goddess, please, no." Mya said. "This game is super annoying."

"Oh come on?!" Tea protested.

"I'm with Mya on this one." Joshua said, he was sitting with his head throw back at the seat with sunglasses on, he looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"What about you Jun?" Tea asked.

"There are better games to play." He said, shrugging.

"Traitor." Dino said and Jun just shrugged again.

"Awn we are already fighting and it's been just day one." Mya said.

"We are not fighting, yet." Jun pointed.

"We are just bored." Dino said.

"Let's play a game then..." Tea suggested again.

"Sweetie, I love you but please, no.' Joshua said, Tea sulked at him . "We all should rest while we can."

"I have some cross words, wanna do together?" Jun asked her and saw he eyes glistening.

"Yes!" She exclaimed, moving to sit next to Jun.

"Can I join?" Dino asked and Jun nodded, then the three of the leaned by the newspaper to solve the crosswords, while Joshua tried to sleep and Mya was looking through the window to the bus who was just behind theirs, imagining what the passengers of it were doing.

******

"If you don't stop doing this I'll throw you out of the window." Seungkwan threatened Hoshi who was tapping with his drumsticks on the floor of the bus

"I'm bored." Hoshi said, he was sitting upside down on his seat, tapping the drumsticks on the floor.

"I'm not going to survive this." Seungkwan said. "It's been what? A few hours? And you are already testing my patience."

"What patience? I thought you didn't had this." Hoshi teased him.

"EXACTLY, THAT'S THE POINT!" Seungkwan exclaimed, mad.

"C'mon boys, that's enough, if you don't stop I'll throw both of you out of the window." Jeonghan said, making then finally stop.

Those two were the only ones trying to establish chaos. Vernon was sitting, whispering a melody, stuck on his own world, Wonwoo was by his side reading a book and Mingyu was taking a nap as Seungcheol was too busy talking to Jeonghan and DK about the plans for the tour.

"Isn't it weird that the Los Angles concerts are the last ones?" Seungcheol asked. "I mean... We are already here?"

"Not really." DK explained. "It's more to create anticipation and a vibe. The LA concerts are the bigger ones in audience, only loosing to the New York one, so we need to create this atmosphere for it. LA is High as Hope's home, so it needs to be special."

"Talking about NYC..." Vernon asked, getting on the conversation. "Are we really going to play at Madison Square Garden?"

"Yeah." DK said. He was supper excited about it.The band had performed in a lot of places, out and in the country, but that would be their first time on a stage that big, with such a huge crowd. "And it's practically sold out already, even though the show is only after the European Tour, months from here."

Vernon's eyes sparkled. The idea of playing at the most important arena of his home city was crazy, even just opening for another band. He couldn't wait for that.

"So... Do you think we would still be opening for the High as Hope till then?" Scoups asked.

"Yeah, I think so, you guys are good, and till then you will probably be working on your own album, would be a good promotion for you " DK guaranteed. "Well but I can't promise anything, those things are up to Jihoon. I just take care of the things on the road. And talking about it, we are getting close to our first stop for gas, I need to talk to the driver." he said, getting up and going to the front of the bus.

When the bus stopped at a gas station a few minutes latter, everyone was happy to get off the bus, some to go to the bathroom, others just to stretch the legs, other to look around at the convenience store.

"Lee Dokyeom, you have abandoned us." Mya said, when she left the bus.

"I would never." he said. "I'm going on you bus when we finish here."

"Too late, I no longer want your company, go with your new band. I don't need you anyways." He new she was just being dramatic, so she went after her when she got to the grocery store.

Tea was the last one to left their bus, Wonwoo who was silent leaning at the other bus notice her. She looked tired and sleepy as she took of her round sunglasses. She was wearing denim shorts, cowboy boots and a kimono over a super small blouse, a Walkman stuck on her shorts while she hummed the song coming from the earphones as she walked towards the grocery store. She looked so small and so fragile, she was so lean that she looked like she could be carried away by the breeze.

It was heart for Wonwoo to believe that was the girl who had a voice who could summon storms. That was how Tea was know, on the last year, hwile High as Hope was performing at a festival at New York, a storm took the field while she was singing a song about a storm. It was almost like a magical coincidence. and their faithful fans started to call her a force of nature herself.

That description didn't matched the girl in front of his eyes at all. She was beautiful, of course she was, but in a more delicate and fragile way.

Wonwoo wanted to talk to hear even before meeting her, the rumors and all the good thing Woozi and everyone from the studio and the label said about how Te was an amazing composer only made him wanting to meet her even more, but he didn't had the chance to have am actual conversation with the girl since the first day they were introduced to each other, so he decided to embrace his chance, even if it was going to be just for a few minutes, to try and talk to her now that she was alone.

He followed her to the back of the store, to the refrigerator, she was looking to the drink cans, choosing two different flavors of cold tea.

"I guess you stage name suits you." he said, getting closer to her.

"I'm sorry... what did you said?" she asked, taking of the earphones.

"I said you name really suits you." he repeated, signaling to the cans on her hand. "You drink a lot of tea."

She laughed.

"I guess you can say so." she said, shrugging. "Even though this is not as far as good as actual tea, but its what we have for now."

"I guess I'll choose something else to drink, I was thinking about trying one of these." he commented, pointing to the cans she was holding.

"I guess they are good if you are not British like me and are used to real tea." she commented. "Here, try this one." she handled him one of the cans, then opened the refrigerator to get another can. "Tell me latter if you liked it." She said with a big smile, heading to the cashier, stopping by a shelf full of candies, right beside Mingyu who was picking M&M's.

"Want something sweet?" Mingyu asked her with a flirtatious grim.

She didn't answered, just looked at the shelf and almost cried when she saw the red box with the small red packages with a rainbow on it.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it!" she exclaimed, almost dropping the cold tea cans trying to catch the packages of candy. "Dino, come her you wont believe me." she said, screaming ate the boy who was at the back of the store.

"What's wrong?" he came running, giving Mingyu a suspicious look.

"They have skittles." she said, showing him the candy. "Can you believe this?"

""For fucks sake woman, I thought you needed help or was in danger, ll this for those little bitches? You fucking scared me." he said, looking relieved.

"Dude..." Mingyu was staring at him, in complete shock. How could a little guy like him curse that much in such a small phrase. "You should talk like this in front of a girl."

"Tea is used to it, actually she curses a lot too." Dino said, and he thought about scolding him for his fake niceties in front of Tea when he was so disrespectful early that day when she wasn't around, but he didn't want her to be pissed, mainly cause she was so happy because of those fucking candies.

"What's the thing with those candies anyway?" Hoshi who was nearby asked, taking a package to analyze closely. "They look like M&M's."

"They are very different, to start with, they are not chocolate." Tea said. "They are fruit sweets, its so refreshing. I tried then for the first time in London when I was visiting my family. I thought we don't have it here on America."

"They started to import this a while a go." a young boy who worked on the stored pointed. "But it's not easy to find everywhere since is still a new thing. "

"How much for the box?" Tea asked, pointing to the candy.

"Are you really going to buy a whole box of skittles?" Joshua asked, surprised.

"Yes, I don't know when or where I'm going to find it again, its going to be a long trip." she got the box and went to the cashier.

SVT Fast to Slow at Catching Feelings 💕

Anonymous said: hey!! just wondering... fastest to slowest in seventeen to catch feelings for someone? and what placements affect this? hehe -🌻

oooOOoooOOo what a fun question lets seeeeeeeee 👀

Fast:

Dino: catches feelings FAST and struggles to get over them. with a pisces venus he’s really really really impressionable in love and affection. very quick to want share it with the right person and DEEPLY devoted. sag moon makes him such an optimist/idealist, too, which adds to this whole lovestruck vibe. he builds a perception of the dream outcome and fixates on it. a puppy of the love sick variety FOR SURE. 

Soonyoung: he’s very receptive to people who are exciting, intelligent, and funny. he will literally fall IMMEDIATELY for someone if they make him laugh enough and seem very passionate about what they do. he’s going to want to talk to them for HOURS he’s that infatuated. with that being said, he can get over them pretty easily if his leo rising wasn’t given the chance to get super invested. 

Seokmin: with a cancer moon he can get attached to people fairy easily. especially if they offer him affection and comfort, he’s quick to latch on and not want to let go. add in a libra mars that loves the idea of love and he’s done for as he relies on assuming the best intention/outcome and stores his feelings there. it really wouldn’t take a lot for him to get to that point, and from there he may struggle to move on. 

Fast/Average:

Mingyu: that aries sun in him likes who he likes and wont think twice about it. with that being said, he has such steady/logical earth placements that make him not super overwhelmed by these feelings. naturally romantic, very devoted. it doesn’t feel like “catching” feelings to him, just like growing super fond of someone more and more. but it’s the ease he lets these emotions flow that are what i’d consider make him “quick to fall.” 

Seungcheol: his leo is truly a romantic and if the right person comes along, he’s pretty easily wooed. he also has a libra mars like dk which can make him very romantic. he really wants to find a place to put those feelings, and so love/relationships are a really attractive idea to him. his cap influence makes him pretty logical/cautious with these things tho. his heart is fast to fall but his mind isn’t! 

Jihoon: i had him lower but i CHANGED MY MIND. his libra venus craves love/companionship and can get pretty fixated on it. he’s someone who can really feel his loneliness which can make him pretty eager to latch onto someone he thinks fits the bill. but i think he’s too independent to let that sway him enough to put himself out there before fully assessing the situation and feeling them out. 

Jeonghan: this guy really craves love and affection and is prone to romanticizing just the idea of love/relationships. he’s the type to think A LOT about dating but that scorpio mars makes him very discerning and guarded as well. he finds crushes pretty troublesome which prevents him from actively pursuing love even if he catches feelings. if the right person comes along tho, he’s STUCK. 

Slow/Average: 

Wonwoo: it’s hard to say with wonwoo. he’s a romantic at heart with that leo that loves romance as a concept and all the beautiful and dramatic things that come from the idea of a whirlwind romance. not to mention a gemini venus and mars that can become infatuated easily. with that being said, he’s a very logical, level-headed person. he’s gonna scope out the situation more before getting to that point and is capable of dipping out if he so chooses. (tho i do think intellect is the way to get him fast).

Vernon: so this guy is also in this weird limbo. he’s naturally very feeling and committed thanks to that pisces/scorpio, but that scorpio also makes him very calculated/cautious in relationships and that cap venus is pretty slow to fall. pisces may throw that off every now and again and bring out the more spontaneous romantic in him. he may also fall fast if someone intrigues his aqua enough. 

Jun:  he has a very romantic/companion based chart. he wants to live his life with a partner thanks to that taurus influence, and those gemini placements can be pretty easily wooed. with that being said, i think his taurus is too hard to convince sometimes. can certainly be fascinated with someone without having to catch feelings. def very committed once caught, just not the fastest at catching them in the first place.

Slow:

Joshua: okay joshua is difficult to place. in my head i thought he was either going to be all the way at the top or more towards the bottom. i’m choosing bottom only because i think his earth influence really causes much more a delay in him when it comes to romance even if he has this very reactive and sensitive afflicted moon. i think he has a lot of romantic thoughts/tendencies, but i don’t think they hit him over the head in the “catch feelings” sense. probs the type to fall fast but take FOREVER to realize he caught them in the first place. 

Seungkwan: when it comes to love i don’t think he sees it so much as catching feelings, as it is more so about deciding to associate those feelings to someone he finds he respects, vibes with, and is proud enough to want to make his s/o. he approaches love in a very purposeful way. also, his cap and virgo influence are super particular about where he expresses devotion, but once he’s there that’s when he lets his romantic side out.  

Minghao: he’s got all the makings for a very dedicated, very intense, romantic boyf. with that being said, his chart is ALL about composure. his scorpio wants control, his aqua moon wants freedom, his cap venus wants reliability. so while he is certainly a charming and romantic guy, it takes a lot of time and a lot of tests for him to get to the point where, on the scorpio scale of reference, he’d say he’s in deep with someone. lolol maybe to an air sign he seems fast to catching feelings. for him, it’s a process.

is seventeen good at taking your picture? *ੈ✩‧₊˚

a/n: this is kinda random but wholesome lol 

seungcheol:

✿ “ah, you’re pretty”

✿ it just sort of comes out, really. he was taking a couple pictures but he puts your phone down for a second just to look at you

✿ he giggles when you start blushing (the pictures end up being the kind thats a little blurry bc you moved when he got you blushy, but its still aesthetically pleasing)

jeonghan: 

✿ he tries to prank you by showing you that he actually took a (very cute and giggly) selfie while you were posing (this selfie becomes your lock screen eventually)

✿ when he sees you scoff he does his specific “hahaha” laugh (y’all know what i mean) 

✿ but just as you’re about to smack his arm he swipes left and he actually took a couple good pictures 

joshua: 

✿ i feel like he’s the kind to be pretty diligent with taking your picture 

✿ will direct how you pose (if you want him to help) to get the best possible picture 

✿ “mm maybe turn your chin this way just a little bit” he goes, even so far as to demonstrate with his own face

jun: 

✿ he really tries his best and they’re not totally bad 

✿ occasionally just crops your foot out weirdly or it’s not lined up the best 

✿ it may take another one or two tries but you’ll get there 

✿ will comment when you post that 1) you look pretty and 2) he took the picture (he’s proud)

hoshi: 

✿ takes a million pictures of you in rapid fashion and each of them are about 2% different from each other 

✿ may be a little bit hit or miss 

✿ will encourage a horanghae hand at some point 

✿ but even though he’s taking pictures kinda fast he will be patient and take more if you want him to 

wonwoo: 

✿ i feel like he’d take pictures of you from two angles at most and ngl, they ain’t bad 

✿ like somehow, he didn’t put that much thought into them but they’re pretty good???

woozi: 

✿ he may not take too many pictures but he puts a lot of care into the 7 he does take

✿ says little words under his breath, maybe quirks his head as he’s figuring out how to hold your phone

✿ “hmm maybe this isn’t right” *head tilt* “is it?”

dk: 

✿ may be a little bit overdramatic with the lunging to “make you look taller” 

✿ but best boy energy and he’s enthusiastic to help you !!

✿ will probably get a cute candid picture of you laughing over his antics

mingyu: 

✿ he’s probably taller than you but he will squat and/or break his back to get that good angle 

✿ also has a pretty artistic eye so i could assume that he’d get an interesting picture 

✿ he also did mention bringing his camera with him everywhere (in that one interview) so he’d probably be the kind of boyfriend that would take your picture without you knowing 

✿ honestly use his height and some funky lens to your advantage to get something editorial 

minghao: 

✿ another artsy boy hehe 

✿ very flexible will most definitely get pictures of you from so many angles 

✿ moves around you enough so you barey have to adjust 

✿ i feel like he’d help you filter your pictures too 

seungkwan: 

✿ who am i kidding, seungkwan will go to every extreme to get the perfect picture 

✿ ofc he knows all of your best angles 

✿ you may want to stop taking pictures but he will inSiSt he can do better 

✿ you think the pictures are fine already (he really did do so good) but he’s pointing to tell you to go back to pose 

vernon:

✿ the energy may not be through the roof but he’s still putting an effort trust

✿ if he doesn’t get what you want at first all you gotta do is demonstrate what you want

✿ really, just make him stand in your place and take a quick example

✿ “so i want you to take it like this, so you see this in the background too”

✿ “ah okay i see” he nods

✿ funniest part is the practice photo and he’s just standing in it like 🧍

dino: 

✿ also tries pretty hard

✿ he’s about to show you what he has so far before he grabs your phone back before you even see he screen

✿ “wait let me try again!”

✿ he gets excited when he feels like the pictures turned out well

✿ sneakily sends a couple photos to his own phone 🫶🏽
