A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up

You woke up to the smell of food cooking and coffee brewing. Climbing out of bed you waddle into the kitchen to find Jeonghan scrambling eggs. “Morning jagi. Here.” He said handing you a warm cup. “What’s all this? I thought you’d be mad at me this morning Hannie?” You asked sheepishly. “Oh I was plenty mad last night don’t worry. But more so that you felt like you couldn’t talk to me. And I’ll happily explain it after you go get ready for work while this finishes cooking.” Nodding you turned and walked back into your room, just happy you hadn’t upset them more. Taking a quick shower and throwing on comfy clothes you walked back out to the living room to find Jeonghan sitting at the table, a plate of food in front of him for you.

“What’s going on Han?” You asked sitting down, “I know you probably think we are being controlling with your safety. And it’s okay, I was but only because I am terrified of something happening to you Y/n.” He said holding your hand tightly. “I know Jeonghan, I know it’s because you care. You all see me as a little sister. It’s normal to want to protect me.” You said squeezing his hand, he looked at you, a soft smile on his lips, “I need to tell you something and it might give a tad more insight on why I treat you the way I do.” He took a shaky breath, “I had a little sister, Harin. She was funny and kind and loved trouble just like me. Until she started dating this guy who was awful, he beat her constantly. And we begged her to leave. I offered to pay for anything she needed, most of the guys offered homes and a way out but she wouldn’t accept any of it. She loved him and was so blindly loyal to a man who treated her like garbage. Until he got bored and left her. And it broke her completely. We tried to get her back on her feet but she just couldn’t handle it.” Jeonghan face fell, the tears started falling. Moving to the chair beside him you grabbed his hands again, “it was my mom who found her. Called me with my baby sister dead in her arms. And there was nothing I could do to help her.” You wrapped you arms around him, hugging him tightly. “Oh Hannie I’m so so sorry.” He clung to you as he kept speaking, “when I saw you in the mall and you said you left and you seemed brighter I vowed I wouldn’t let anyone dim that light in you again. I won’t lose another sister to sadistic men.” Happy you had forgone makeup today as the tears streamed down your face, “I got out, I’m safe Hannie. You and Cheollie kept me safe. You let me heal in a safe environment. And the thirteen of you make me feel safer than anywhere in this planet.” Jeonghan was nodding as you hugged each other, “we love you so much y/n. We just want you safe.” “I love you too.” You said sniffling over your words.

You and Jeonghan came to an agreement of them keeping your location but you driving yourself to work from now on. After your heartfelt talk you cleaned your face again and left for work. Calling Cheol once you got in the car, not sure how to bring up the subject you had just learned about. “Hi pretty girl how are you?” He answered, you could hear the smile across his face. “Cheolllieee I miss you.” You sniffed, your talk with Jeonghan messing up all your emotions. “What happened? I can be on the next flight home.” He said, the panic seeping into his voice, “you don’t have to come home, I just-I really miss you. I didn’t think it would be this hard being away from you.” You sighed making him laugh, “I miss you too so much. Are you sure everything is okay? you seem down.” “Jeonghan told me about Harin, and why me being safe is his top priority. And it just breaks my heart for him and all of you. That he had to go through that and I’m sad for her that her life ended so quickly.” You said sadly. “He told you about her? Wow. Hannie never brings her up unless it’s serious.” Cheol responded, clearly shocked, “did something happen?” He added. “I may have panicked a bit last night about some things and Jihoon took me to the studio to have some peace. And Jeonghan couldn’t find me because my phone died. But I was safe with Ji the whole time.” You confessed. “What were you panicking about pretty girl?” He pried, your brain short circuits, “I uh- it was nothing. Just over thinking too many things again. Worrying that I’m a burden to your members.” You said quickly. Cheol knew you and knew whatever it was you weren’t ready to discuss. “Y/n sweetheart. You are not a burden to them. They love you. They fuss and tease and will mother hen you to death. But you have never and will never be a burden to any of us.” He responded slowly. Making sure every word landed and stuck with you. He heard you sniffle, “thank you Cheollie.” You hesitate before finishing your sentence. “I just pulled into the garage at work. So I will talk to you later.” “Have a good day.” He replied, you could hear the pout in his voice. “Have a good day Cheollie, I love you.” You said quickly before ending the call. You chuckled, imagining his face. You were walking through the front door when you looked at your phone, a text from Cheol; “We can discuss that behavior after work my pretty girl. Have a good day.” You were so focused on him that you paid no attention to the same car watching your office. Scanning your badge you made your way to the office.

Abruptly caught off from thinking then another bouquet of flowers was sitting on your desk. A scrawled note atop it again. “Miss me yet Doll? You look good.” Your hands shook as you grabbed the whole vase and threw it in the trash. Sliding the note into your drawer. Mid day mail carrier came through and another letter was dropped on your desk, once again in the scrawled handwriting that made your heart stop. “You can’t avoid me y/n.” You choked down a sob and threw the note into the desk with the other two, before standing and quickly walking into the bathroom. Running your hands through your hair you tried to control your emotions, losing it at work wouldn’t benefit you right now. You thought about calling Hannie but you didn’t know what you’d say to him. Deciding to just leave it alone you compose yourself and walk out of the bathroom. Sliding back into your desk your coworker peaks over the divider, “who keeps sending you flowers?” She pries. “It’s a mistake, I think they’re sending them to the wrong person.” you reply with a shrug. She gives you a look of unbelief before rolling her eyes and sitting back down. You pull out your phone texting Jeonghan, “I need to talk to you later.” You hit send and see the message bubbles appear immediately. “You broke Seungcheol. You can’t text the man you love him then leave for the day.” You laugh, “you told me to sort it out.” You sent back, you went back and forth bickering through the day, drawing your mind away from the flowers and notes.

Sliding into the Gwagon you pulled up Cheols contact and hit dial. The ringing going once before being sent to voicemail. You stared at the contact photo before clicking the end button. You started the car and waited a while for him to call you back, knowing he was probably at work and busy. Pulling Into the parking garage your phone rang and you tried to not be disappointed when Vernon’s name popped up, “hey what’s up?” You asked as you answered, “me and Kwan and Chan are at a bbq restaurant and wanted you to join us. Maknae night. I’ll send you the location.” Agreeing to meet them there you hung up and started the car back up. It wasn’t long until you pulled up to a small store front, putting the car in park you headed inside to meet the guys. “The golden Maknae!” Dino sang as you walked I tot he closed off space they had. “Noooo” you groaned. Not needing another nickname for them to add, “you are the Maknae Dino-ya I’m just here.” You said pinching his cheek. Kwannie thumped you on the arm, “you are not just here. You’re apart of the Maknae line.” He said in fully seriousness, the other two men nodding along. “I know Seungkwan I wasn’t serious.” You said trying to defend yourself, he just side eyed you and walked away to order the food. “He seems upset.” You mumbled, “he knows you’re struggling y/n and you seem to want to do it alone instead of asking for help. It frustrates him.” Vernon explained, you sighed and waited for Kwan to join the table again. As he sat down you grabbed his hands, “seungkwan you know I love and appreciate you. All of you for helping me. I’m just not used to people helping so it’s hard to let you in. I’ve been on my own for so long I struggle to ask for help. I’m sorry that I push you away, it’s not intentional it’s just how I’ve had to be to protect myself.” He squeezes your hands, “I know Angel. I just want to help.” “We all do, I know the darkness is scary y/n but let us guide you back to the light.” Vernon added. You nodded before pulling yourself away from the both of them, “alright I came to eat and see my boys not cry.” The three men laughed and Dino changed the subject to their comeback happy to indulge in distracting you.

You were driving them all back when Cheols name popped up on the caller id, letting it ring a few time you answered, “hi pretty girl.” He said, voice weary. “Hyung what’s wrong?” Dino called from the backseat. “Chani-ya?” Cheol asked, confused at his brother answering. “I have Kwan and Vernon too.” You mumbled, “we stole your girl for the night.” Seungkwan said. “Good, keep her happy until I get home.” Cheol said, you smiled but it didn’t quite reach your eyes. “Did you have a busy day today?” You asked. “A lot of photoshoots and meetings. I think I’ve had about an hour to myself.” You nodded, “try to get some rest Cheollie.” You said softly. “Can you take me off speaker please.” He said knowing his members could hear everything. You switched to your phone, “you’re off.” “I’m so sorry I missed your call baby.” He said gently. “It’s okay Cheol, you’ve had a busy day.” He huffed, “I’m never too busy to talk to you.” You chuckled, “Cheollie you are but it’s okay. Don’t pout.” “How did you know?!” He exclaimed. “I can feel it through the phone. Why don’t I call you back when we get home?” You asked noticing the looks of the three men. He agreed begrudgingly and you ended the call. The silence that followed was tense. “What? Yall have nothing to say now?” you asked. “What did cheolllllieee have to say?!” Seungkwan asked drawing out every syllable in his leaders name. Vernon chuckled, “he sounded so pitiful.” “He’s worried we’re gonna steal his girl.” Dino added. “I think he just misses us. Honestly he doesn’t like being away from you guys and-.” You started before Kwan cut you off, “he definitely doesn’t like being away from you.” “Yeah well I’m not a fan of him being gone either.” You muttered, “but I’m very grateful for you three keeping me company.” “We love you too y/n.” Dino said happily.

A/N: this chapters kinda short but I just love our little Maknae line. I hope you enjoyed!!

Not Alone- An S.Coups Story

Chapter Eleven

Pairing: Seungcheol x F. Reader

Genre: strangers x friends x lovers, Hurt x Comfort, found family, seventeen being the best friends and brothers.

Synopsis: After begging the famous K-pop sensation S.Coups for help in the Seoul street market your life completely flips upside down, bringing you true friendship and a chance at true love.

Warnings: Anxiety, slight stalking

A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up🫶🏻

Waking up with a blinding headache and stiff body was not how you wanted to start your day. But with Jeonghans obnoxious alarm blaring you remembered it was in fact a work day. The groans from the other 12 people confirmed that they had all slept over. “Y/n-ah. Go get ready I’ll handle breakfast.” Jeonghan said patting your head. “Thanks Hannie.” You mumbled as you slipped off the couch trying to not wake up the other three men surrounding you. After a shower and coffee you felt more alive, walking into the kitchen to find most of the men awake. “We’re gonna drive you to work today since we have to head to the company.” Jeonghan said firmly, not really giving much room for another answer. You nodded before pulling out another lunch. “Jagi if you notice the suspicious car in your parking lot today point it out.” Han followed up, spinning on your heel you looked at him. Nothing but concern on his face, he shrugged and you cut your eyes to the other two, Vernon raised his hands in surrender. “It’s for your safety Angel.” Kwannie said hugging you tightly, you hadn’t even heard him walk up behind you. “I don’t think it’s anything to be worried about.” You said quietly, “but let’s not take any chances with your safety, yeah?” Mingyu replied, handing you a plate of food gesturing towards the table.

Getting in the car with Jeonghan, Mingyu and Kwan in the back you leaned against the seats, “thank you.” You said gently, causing Jeonghan to look over at you, eyebrow raised. “For last night and this morning, basically for everything. Thank you for caring and taking care of me.” Jeonghan smiled at you, “of course jagi, we look after our family.” Pulling out of the complex you could see him and Mingyu more alert of their surroundings, eyeing cars that passed by. “I don’t see it.” You said looking around. “Maybe it was nothing.” Mingyu patted your shoulder from the back seat, “just let us know today if anything seems off.” Seungkwan who had been quiet most of the ride pipped in “we have a meeting this morning for our comeback but someone will be here to pick you up tonight angel.” You said thank you as the car came to a stop in front of your work building. “Where do you typically park?” Mingyu asked. You pointed to the attached garage with the gated entrance. “Perfect and the doors have key cards?” He asked looking at the office doors. “Yes everything is a card entrance.” You said getting your things together trying to find your badge. “Here jagi.” Jeonghan said handing you the lanyard with your card attached. “Have a good day.” They all said as you slid out of the sleek smaller car. Waving you walked into the building, hyper aware of your surroundings. In the car the three men watched you get inside before pulling away, “do you think she’s okay?” Kwan asked, “I think she misses Scoupssi and she’s on high alert as it is.” Jeonghan said with a sigh. “I just wish her life was easier. She’s been through enough.” The other two agreed before trying to turn their focus to the company meeting.

Midmorning you were at your desk when another smaller bouquet of flowers arrived for you. A small note attached, thinking it was from Scoups you quickly pulled at it. “Congrats Doll. It’s been fun seeing you around.” Your eyes snag on the term of endearment, feeling your throat close up, anxiety coursing through you. You grab the flowers and take them to the break room trash can where you quickly throw them away, you can’t possibly know for sure but the name; doll the only affectionate name he ever gave you. Now sending chills through your body. You throw the note in your desk drawer, pulling out your phone to call Scoups, you pause. They had a meeting this morning and you knew he was video conferencing in. He was working you couldn’t interrupt that. Letting out a heavy sigh you slammed the drawer shut and tried to not think about it. Maybe it was someone else, your ex couldn’t possibly have found you.

Walking out the front doors of the building you nervously glanced around, eyes locking on the same blacked out car as yesterday before the familiar sight of BSS came into view. Quickly getting in, you started to tell them when Hoshi started explaining their new comeback to you, excitedly giving away as much information as he could remember from their meeting. You fell back in the seat, glancing into the side mirrors looking for the car but it was gone from view. “Angel what’s wrong?” Seungkwan asked finally getting Hoshi to settle down. “Just a long day.” You mumbled not wanting to dampen the happy mood they were in. “The comeback sounds amazing Soonyoung.” You added with a tight smile. DK and Hoshi kept talking but Seungkwan wasn’t fooled by the fake smiles and pretty words. Something was wrong and he was going to figure it out. Your hand scrunched inside the coat pocket, clinging to the flower note that felt like it was burning but you kept smiling, hoping you’d be able to get to your room before you broke completely.

You’d never been so happy for seventeen having a busy schedule as you were now, walking into an empty house you sped walked down to your room and shut the door before Seungkwan could question you further. You made it to your desk where you threw the note under some work binders, not wanting it to touch you. It felt like it was tainting your room, your new safe space but you couldn’t bring yourself to throw it away. A knock on the door made you jump, pulling it together quickly you opened the door to a suspicious looking Seungkwan. “We can’t help you if we don’t know what’s wrong angel.” He said coming to sit on your bed. ���You have enough to worry about Kwan. This comeback is big it’s gonna take all your focus. Don’t worry about me.” You rebuttal. Seungkwan rolls his eyes, “you think that we will be too busy to worry about you? Angel have you have any good friends in your life?” You look over at him, shaking your head no, tears spilling from your eyes, “oh y/n” he said as he pulls you into a tight hug. “You do now, we’ve got you. Don’t you worry.” He cooed at you rubbing soothing circles on your back.

Jeonghan came home a few hours later and immediately noticed the shift in you, “jagi, what’s wrong.” You sighed but Seungkwan answered for you, “she had a long day.” Jeonghan nodded, not believing a word, “I figured sending booseoksoo to pick you up would cheer you up?” You smiled, “it did, you guys don’t have to drive me and pick me up from work though.” Jeonghan had a face of mock hurt, “jagi if you don’t want to spend anymore time with us just tell me.” You rolled your eyes, whacking him gently with a pillow. “You know that’s not it, I just don’t want to be a burden to you. I’m already taking up space here. Driving me is too much.” Jeonghans face turned serious, scooting closer he pulling your hands in his, rubbing a thumb over your knuckles. “Y/n, you are not a burden. You have never felt like a burden. We love you so much, it’s not a chore for us to take care of you.” You kept your head down, looking at his hands over yours. “Jagi, look at me.” He said so gently, looking up your eyes are met with his, full of love. The tears filling your eyes for the second time tonight spill over. “You are not a burden.” You nod, “we love you, stop being stubborn and let us take care of you.” You smiled a bit, “I can’t make promises on the stubbornness. But I’ll try.” Jeonghan pulled you into a hug, Seungkwan joining in as well. “And calls Scoupssi, he said you haven’t talked today and he’s worried.” Jeonghan added.

Laying on the bed, tears still slowly streaming down your face you call Cheol. He answer the face time, his features morphing into concern when he sees you crying. “I’m alright, just your stupid brothers making me cry.” You said. “As long as they are happy tears. They are happy tears right?” He asked softly. Two days in and you missed this man’s presence so much it hurt. Knowing he’d see right through you, you forced out some truth. “Cheollie everything feels heavy.” You said quietly, curling on your side. “Is there a reason or is it something you can’t name.” He asked. You wanted to tell him but for once since you’ve known him he looked at peace and you couldn’t bring yourself to ruin that. So you decide with half truths, other things that are bothering you, “I feel guilty for wanting to move on, for being happy.” His face looked puzzled so you continued, “other survivors take years to heal and it’s only taken me months. And I know I’m not fully healed but I feel guilty that they suffer longer than I have.” You said sniffling. “Pretty girl you have put in the work to heal, and I know you still have a way to go but you are doing it at your pace. Everyone goes at their own pace. There’s no correct timeline for these things.” He paused, “you feel ready to move on?” He questioned. “I think so, I mean you guys have given me so so much love and I love all of you. I want to be loved in the right way and I finally feel ready to experience that.” You said smiling softly. Cheol nodded, his heart soaring. “I’m so proud of you for letting yourself feel it.” His eyes watering as you feel a blush creep up your cheeks. “Good luck finding someone who will pass the test of the 14 of us.” He chuckled nervously. Your face fell, not sure why you forced a smile, “of course that’ll be the hardest part.” You said quietly. You quickly changed the subject asking about Japan and the work he’s done. Making sure he takes care of himself as well, not sure why his comment is bothering you so much.

You end the call a while later and wander back into the living room, looking for Jeonghan. “Hannie?” You ask knocking softly on his door. “Jagi what’s wrong?” He said ushering you inside. “I was on the phone with Cheollie, and he said something and it bothered me. but I don’t know why.” You explained, going over your conversation, his eyes lighting up when you said you felt ready to at least try dating again. “It wasn’t a mean comment, if anything it should reassure me. But it didn’t.” Jeonghan hummed, thinking of how to word this right, “jagi do you think maybe you were upset because you like Scoupssi?” The mix of emotions flash across your face settling on confusion, “w-what?” You stutter out. “Y/n, you only sleep well when he’s here and next to you, you feel the safest around him. We all know you think he’s handsome. It’s not crazy to think maybe you have deeper feelings for him.” Jeonghan explained. You nodded, “i don’t know Hannie.” He gave you a soft smile, “it’s okay to be unsure, it’s a lot and there’s a lot going on in your little brain.” Patting your head you started running through everything in your mind, did you like Cheol? Your mind wandered far not hearing a word Jeonghan said to you until he snapped his fingers, “yah stop drooling over Scoupssi.” You swipped his hand away, “I am not drooling over him.” You bit back but could feel the heat coming up your cheeks. “Your face says otherwise jagi. Don’t rush this, just let your mind sort everything out. It’ll be okay.” You nodded at him, giving him a hug before heading back to your room.

Jeonghan pulled out his phone calling his best friend. “You idiot.” Was the first thing Cheol heard when he answered the call. “For what?” Scoups moaned, “you told her good luck at finding someone else? What is wrong with you?” Jeonghan retorted, “you are in love with her! Why would you say that?” He continued completely appalled at his friends choice of words. “I panicked Han, I couldn’t have said please pick me please let me love you. She would’ve freaked out.” Scoups said running his hand through his hair. “Scoupssi, she’s freaked out now because you said that. You need to pull it together and just confess.” Jeonghan groaned, “you’re going to wait too long and someone else is going to whisk her away.” He added with a smirk. “Who? Who else has mentioned they like her?” Scoups asked in a panic, his eyes wide. “Calm down, I was kidding. You really need to figure this out with her. And soon. She’s confused as it is about her feelings and guilt, she doesn’t need this added to it.” Scoups agreed and finished up their conversation, talks of the comeback and other members. “Do you want me to talk to her?” Jeonghan asked before hanging up, “no I’ll talk to her about it later. Just giver her the night to process.” Scoups replied. “She likes you, I know she does.” Jeonghan encouraged. Scoups similes at his friend and said goodnight. Jeonghan had just laid down when Seungkwan walked into his room, “You want to tell me why our angel is pacing in her room?” He said sitting on the edge of the bed. “She’s processing things.” Jeonghan said pulling the covers back up, getting cozy in bed. “Just let her be Kwannie.” Seungkwan nodded and walked back out. Jeonghan just hoped you could figure things out without feeling the guilt that was eating at you.

Meanwhile the actual guilt eating at you was not telling them what was truly bothering you. You knew in your soul it was your ex who sent the letter but after that conversation with Jeonghan you couldn’t bear to bring any kind of danger into these men’s lives. And you knew your ex, if he found out how you felt about Cheol or any of them being close to you it would endanger them. You were trying to push the thoughts to the back of your head, Cheol was in Japan he was safe but the others, you didn’t want to put them in harms way. You didn’t hear Kwannie walk in, you were so stuck in your head, “Angel-“ you jumped, hand flying to your heart, “I’m sorry angel, I didnt mean to scare you!” Seungkwan said gently eyeing your reaction. “Are you sure your okay?” You stopped moving, then quickly started again when you noticed how your body was shaking. “I’m okay just thinking things over.” You said quickly. “I know you talked to Jeonghan Hyung but you can talk to me too.” He replied. “Oh Kwannie I know that, I’m just trying to sort through some feelings.” You said softly. “Your feelings for Scoups Hyung?” He teased. “Maybe, a lot of feelings actually.” You mumbled. “Well don’t let it keep you up too long angel. Let your body and mind rest.” He said giving you a pat on the back and walking out. “Goodnight Kwannie.” You waited until you heard his door close before pulling your shoes and a hoodie on.

Grabbing your phone you walk out the front door. “And where are you going?” A voice behind you chuckled. Turning you found Woozi down the hall, locking the door to his own apartment. “I-uh, can’t sleep.” You said trying to find some viable excuse. “I was gonna go on a walk.” You added. Woozi gave you a look, “well it’s your lucky night. I’m heading to the studio. Do you want to come?” He asked as he walked towards you, nodding you followed along behind him. “How about we walk?” He asked as you stepped outside, “you hate walking?” You said with a smile, “you look like you have things you want to think through, maybe a walk will clear your head.” He retorted leading you down the street. “Jeonghan is going to kill me if he wakes up and I’m gone.” You mutter to yourself. Woozi takes your phone out of your hand, pulling up your group chat with Kwan and Jeonghan he quickly sends them your location before shutting it off and giving it back to you. “So you want to talk about it?” He asked after a while. “I’m scared Jihoon.” You said quietly. Woozi paused for a second, “of what?” You swiped a tear away, “I think I like Cheol, which isn’t scary. He’s the safest I’ve ever felt. But I’m terrified I’m going to ruin it somehow and lose all of you. There’s so much of me that’s damaged and I don’t want to put that weight on him as well.” Woozi stopped in front of me of his studio building, pulling you to a bench. “Y/n, you are not damaged. Cheol has never seen you as damaged. That man would move the moon for you if you asked. You could not pick a better man than Cheol. Don’t sell yourself short either. You are a treasure.” You swipped another tear that fell, “do you want my advice?” He asked, you nodded. “Tell him how you feel y/n. I know he feels the same way. Let yourself be treasured.” You looked up at the older man, “thank you Jihoon.” He smiled at you before gesturing towards the building, “want to come listen to our new album?” You laughed, “am I allowed too?” “I know tiger boy already told you all of it anyway.” Woozi said leading you into the studio. You looked around amazed, “so this is where all the magic happens.” He chuckled as you set down on the couch behind his chair. “Let me finish up some things and I’ll show you the new stuff.” He said sitting down. You got comfy and listened to him record demos, quickly falling asleep to his voice.

Woozi heard his phone going off, glancing down he saw the group chat had multiply notifications about you. Jeonghan in a panic because he couldn’t find you and you weren’t answering your phone. “Yah y/n-.” He called, turning to find you curled up asleep on his couch. Snapping a photo he sent it to the chat. “she’s safe with me and at studio.” Five seconds passed before Jeonghan called him, “Jihoonnie thank god. I did not want to tell Scoups I lost her after two days.” Woozi chuckled, “she couldn’t sleep and I was coming here so we walked and she got to sort out some stuff. I’ll bring her home shortly.” Jeonghan hummed, “Mingyu and Wonwoo are on their way to get her. They were out looking for her anyways. You also need to get rest Jihoon. Don’t overwork yourself.” Jeonghan scolded. Woozi smiled and said his goodbyes, waiting for his members to arrive.

Mingyu peaked his head into the studio, finding their tiny angel on the couch and Woozi tapping away on the computer. “Jihoonnie.” Wonwoo said stepping into the room. “Yah don’t wake her up.” He said shushing the two men. Mingyu gently picked you up, “y/n-ah we’ve got you don’t worry.” Your eyes opened slightly, seeing the man who carried you, “hi Gyu.” You mumbled before resting your head on his shoulder and closing your eyes again. He smiled at you before saying goodnight to Woozi and following Wonwoo out the door. Once outside they quickly got you in the car before heading back to the apartments. Wonwoo carried you upstairs, nodding to Jeonghan as he passed them in the kitchen. “She’s lucky we love her or I’d be yelling at her right now.” Seungkwan said following Wonwoo into her bedroom. “Don’t yell Kwannie.” You mumbled as Wonwoo laid you on your bed. “It’s not nice to yell at people.” The two older men looked at you, “oh angel I would never actually yell at you.” Seungkwan said softly, you nodded before he pulled the covers up over you, “get some sleep y/n.” Your breathing slowed down as they made their way out of your room. “Don’t even think about scolding her Jeonghan.” Seungkwan said heading back to the kitchen. “She left without telling us.” He retorted. “You both have her location now.” Woozi said coming in the front door, “I sent them to the both of you for this very reason.” Seungkwan pulled out his phone and clicked your contact, your little location beacon showing up. “This will make keeping up with her easier.” Jeonghan mumbled. “She’s not a dog you need to keep a leash on. She’s a person. Maybe you should treat her like the adult woman she is.” Woozi stated, not bothering to look up from his own phone. “Scoupssi would-.” Seungkwan started before Wonwoo interrupted, “Scoups trusted her enough to never ask for her location. I don’t see why you two are treating her so different. She has her security detail. She drives Scoups car that has a gps that our staff has. She’s safe. Don’t trying to lock down control on her when she just got it back.” Jeonghan looked between the five men then down the hall to your bedroom. “I can’t lose her, I don’t want to fail her like I did Harin.” He confessed. Seungkwan moved to hug Han, “you didn’t fail your sister Hyung. And y/n-ah is different.” “Maybe if you explained to her why you are so serious about her safety she’d be more open to it.” Woozi suggested. Jeonghan nodded, “I’ll talk to her tomorrow.”

A/n: Next Chapters gonna focus on some harder things like mentions of Suicide and domestic abuse. So a pre warning for that. BUT I hope you enjoy our boys treating the reader like the treasure she is.

Not Alone- an S.Coups Story

Chapter Ten

Pairing: Seungcheol x F. Reader

Genre: strangers x friends x lovers, Hurt x Comfort, found family, seventeen being the best friends and brothers.

Synopsis: After begging the famous K-pop sensation S.Coups for help in the Seoul street market your life completely flips upside down, bringing you true friendship and a chance at true love.

Warnings: stalking, brief mentions of anxiety, drinking

A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up

Waking up in a bed alone used to bring you don much joy, knowing for a brief fleeting moment you were safe. And now it just made you feel cold, you had grown used to Cheols body heat and having to snake out from under his arm to get ready for work. Pulling yourself out of the sheets that smell like home and safety you make your way into the bathroom. Doing your skincare your mind wanders back to Cheol and your conversation last night. “You talked me out of a nightmare?” You questioned, laying on your bed with Cheol on FaceTime. “You seemed to calm down when I spoke to you.” He responded blushing slightly. “Well I do feel safest when I’m with you so that makes sense.” You said watching his cheeks burn red. “I miss you Cheollie.” You said quietly, your face smushed into the pillow that smelled of his cologne. “I miss you too.” He said smiling at you, making you blush in turn. “It’s been a day and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to survive the next 13 days without you” you mumbled. “That’s basically one member a day to distract you.” He retorted making you laugh. “Y/n-ahhhh” you hear Seungkwan call shaking you from your thoughts. “Yes Kwannie?” You call back. “I made coffee and breakfast!” He replies. Smiling you finished your morning skincare before walking to the kitchen. “Awh Kwannie you didn’t have to make breakfast!” You cooed at him. “You have to eat three meals a day per Scoups Hyungs orders.” He stated, you rolled your eyes making a mental note to text Cheol later.

After eating you finished getting ready, happy to head back to work. Hoping it would distract you from missing Cheol so much. You shot him a text as you got into the car, nodding at the guards in the parking garage of Pledis’s building. Cheols face popped up on your screen a second later, calling you once again. “Hi pretty girl.” He said as soon as you answered the call, “Hi Cheollie, I was just thinking about you.” You respond. “O-oh you were?” He stammers out, “of course, I mean climbing into a car makes me think about the man who owns it.” You said as you glance around the pristine g-wagon. “I can’t believe you’re driving it.” He exclaimed. He had begged you to take his or Seungmins car to drive instead of your unreliable one but you never agreed to it. Happily chatting with Cheol you never noticed the car following you, just like Seungkwan and Vernon never noticed your ex in the same car following after you left the coffee shop. “Cheollie I just pulled into the office but I’ll call you later.” You said putting the car in park. Saying your goodbyes you get out and walk into the office. Sensing eyes on you, you turn to look once you’re inside the safety of the doors. You find a blacked out car across the street, windows tinted so you can’t see inside. Shruggging you get into the elevator and press the button to your floor, trying to not let the anxiety wash over you completely.

Sitting at your desk you pulled out your phone to text Cheollie when your boss called you into his office. “Ms, y/n. please have a seat.” He said gesturing to the chair in front of his desk. “Is everything okay sir?” You asked sitting down, trying to not be nervous. “Of course, I actually called you in here today to speak about a promotion.” He responded with a smile. Your heart thundered in your chest, “you’ve done such good work here the last 6 months and we have the position for research manager if you’d accept it.” He asked. “I would be honored sir!” You responded, shaking his hand you walked back to your desk jittery in a much different way. You excused yourself to the restroom and called Cheol. “Hi pretty girl.” He answered on the first ring, “CHEOLLLIEE I GOT A PROMOTION!!” You squealed into the phone. “Oh my god baby that’s amazing!!” He responded, “you’ve earned it y/n. I’m so proud of you.” You smiled while bouncing around the bathroom, “alright I just wanted to let you know, I hope you have a good day Cheollie. Be safe!” You could feel the happiness radiating off of you, “you too pretty girl, remember to eat lunch! I’m so proud of you!” He responded. Hanging up you made your way out of the bathroom, a smile plastered on your face. All anxiety from this morning erased by the good news.

You were sitting in the break room enjoying the meal Mingyu made you, when a delivery driver walked in with a massive bouquet of flowers. “Ms y/n?” He asked handing them to you, “thank you.” You checked the note attached, “congratulations! Let’s celebrate later!” Snapping a photo you sent it to Cheol and Jeonghan. “Wasn’t me pretty girl.” Was Cheollies response followed by a FaceTime from Hannie. “Y/N!!!” Echoed throughout the break room as all the members cheered for you! “You bought me flowers?!” You asked eyes welling up with tears. “Of course, you got a promotion! That’s so exciting!” Joshua responded while the other members nodded along, “Jun Hyung picked them out!” Chan yelled over his brothers. “Thank you Jun they are beautiful.” You said trying to find the quiet man in the crowded image. “Mingyu this food is amazing!” You said when your eyes caught the taller man. His face broke into a massive smile, “we’re celebrating tonight.” Seungkwan stated leaving no room for discussion. You nodded and thanked everyone again before ending the call and going back to your desk.

Walking out of the office towards the parking lot you felt someone grab your hand, jumping you turned around and found your co workers walking behind you, “congratulations again y/n!” They all said before quickly walking away. You smiled and kept walking towards the cars. Your eyes snagged on the same blacked out car from this morning, feeling a spike in fear you quickly got to your car and pulled out of the parking lot. Hitting the contact number for Seungkwan you tapped on your steering wheel. The dial tone kept going until you got his voicemail. You hung up and kept driving towards the apartments, your anxiety looming over you. Checking the mirrors constantly you breathed a sigh of relief when the building came into view. Hitting the remote button for the garage entrance you were too focused on getting inside to see the same blacked out car pass by you slowly. Huffing you sat back in your seat closing your eyes to breathe before walking upstairs to who knows what. A knock on your window had you jump and let out a tiny scream. Only to find some of the apartment security guards cautiously looking in your window. Opening the car door you apologized. “We’re sorry miss we just wanted to check on you.” Bowing at the older men you chuckled, “I’m alright just a long day.” The head of security chuckled. “Judging by the boxes they brought up it’ll be a long night as well.” You groaned running a hand over your face. “Thank you, have a good night.” You said as you walked into the entrance of the building. Deja vu flooded you as you remember the first time you walked in here with Cheol , also not knowing what to expect. You smile at the memory and text the man responsible for them. “I’m home, who knows what the guys have planned for the night. Be safe. I miss you.” You put your phone back in your pocket and rode up the elevator.

Complete silence met you at the door, lights turned off. The seemingly empty apartment turned eerie. “Hannie? Seungkwan?” You called slipping your shoes off. You hear muffled laughter, knowing immediately that it’s DK. Trying not to break into a smile you flip on a light, “SURPISE” the twelve men shout making you laugh! “Awh thank you!” You respond as Jeonghan and Seungkwan come over and give you a hug. “we’re so proud of you jagi.” Hannie said tousling your hair as he hugged you. Squeezing him tighter you mumbled a thank you, now processing that your body was starting to shake. “Let me go put on something more comfortable.” You mentioned to Kwan and zipped towards your room. You had just thrown on one of Cheols hoodies when a knock sounded, Vernon and Kwan walking in. “Was it too much?” Vernon asked pulling you into a hug. Your body was still shaking, “no my anxiety has just been really high today and there was a creepy car at work.” You respond. “What do you mean a creepy car?” Seungkwan asked smoothing down your hair. “Just a blacked out small car. You couldn’t see in but it was out there all day. Just freaked me out that you couldn’t see into it.” You said. Letting out a heavy sigh you motioned towards the door, “let’s go, I need food and socialization.” Seungkwan lead you to the kitchen where Mingyu was cooking, “thank you Mingyu, your food today was so good!” the older man smiled at you, “anything for our little Choi.” You glared at him as he patted the top of your head before you turned your glare to Jeonghan who was cackling with Joshua. “It just fits, you’re little.” Joshua stated as you marched to them, “I’m not a Choi.” You defended. “Not yet, I’m sure Scoups hyung will have that fixed one day.” Dino retorted. Rolling your eyes you go sit between Vernon and Seungkwan on the couch. With DK and Hoshi speaking lowly with Seungkwan you lean against Vernon. “What’s being plotted?” He shrugs, “I’m sure they’d tell you if you asked.” He said side eyeing his brothers. “Yah y/n-ah, karaoke later?” DK asked, “of course! You know my singing is going to bring your score down though right?” You said smiling at the older man. “You’re not that bad Angel.” Kwan said. You rolled your eyes, “you said I’m not allowed to sing in public around you.” Hoshi and DK laughed, “his opinion of public eye tend to apply to us as well jagi, don’t let it fool you.” Hoshi remarked pouting at his younger brother. “It’s like he’s embarrassed by us.” DK added, jutting his lip out. “Yah foods ready!” Jeonghan called from the kitchen.

Trying to fit 5 people into a kitchen was hard enough but add in that 13 were full grown men made it almost impossible. “Form a line you idiots.” Seungkwan mumbled trying to get by the massive group. “This is to celebrate y/n. Shouldn’t she go first.” Minghao said quieting everyone down. A flood of apologies came out and gentle hands coaxing you to the front. “You didn’t have to fix this much Mingyu!” You exclaimed seeing everything he had made. “You’d be surprised how much we eat.” Jeonghan replied. “She’s been to dinners with us. She knows.” Joshua said smiling at you. Handing you a plate Joshua nudged you forward. Fixing a mix of all of it, you found a seat at the table and waited for everyone else to get there. Once all of them came the conversations flowing easily, seated between Jeonghan and Seungkwan you were chatting with Joshua across from you, everyone listening to explain your very mundane job. “Maybe we could bring you lunch one day?” Seungkwan asked, “or pick you up?” Joshua suggested. “It’s just an office building, nothing too exciting.” You chuckled. “But it’s your environment, we want to see you in it.” Woozi said, “that requires you to leave the house.” Minghao said. “I’m here now!” Woozi defended, “you walked ten feet the hall.” Jun countered making you laugh. “I forget you all live within a few feet with how rarely I see you.” You said sadly. And it was sad how little you got to see everyone. With busy separate schedules they barely got to see each other so living away from them at Cheols place was practically another country. “Just say the word jagi and we’ll start being at you and Scoups nightly.” DK said making everyone laugh. “Scoupssi would kill all of you.” Joshua said waving his fork dramatically. “He regrets giving some of us extra keys.” “Because you walk in at all hours of the day.” You laugh defending your housemates. “We’ve only done that once since you moved in!” Jeonghan rebuked, making the rest of them laugh.

Hours and bottles of soju later, somehow Seungkwan and Hoshi had talked you into learning their Choreography for super. You were a much better dancer than singer much to Hoshi delight. Jeonghan taking multiple videos of you doing the intense dance for his friend. “You should do Scoupssi part!” Mingyu cheered. “Rap and all?” DK asked. “We can do the lift! She’s small!” Mingyu said pulling Wonwoo and Jun to the middle of the floor. Jeonghan chuckled, video calling Coups. “Hannie!” Scoups started when you cackled at something DK had said causing Cheol to stop. “What have yall gotten into?” He asked Jeonghan. “Soju and dance lessons.” Shua answered from the other side. “Fighting!!” Echoed around the room as Hoshi started the music and Jeonghan flipped the camera in time for you to get launched into the members arms. “Be careful!” Scoups yelled but nothing was heard over the roar of music and cheering. Scoups face fell when you slipped through their arms and bounced in the ground. “Yah!” He yelled through the phone matching Jeonghans cry. “I’m alright!” You said standing up, rubbing a hand over your back, the guys quickly surrounded you checking you over much to your amusement. “I’m fine, really.” You reminded them. “ let’s try it again.” You got back beside Kwan and Hoshi nodding at Jeonghan. Not paying any attention to the man in the phone. “She’s okay.” Jeonghan echoed to his friend who had a proud look on his face. “She’s strong.” He claimed smiling. “Jagi someone wants to say hi.” Han called over to you, turning the phone so you could see Scoups. “Cheollie!” You exclaimed tripping over your own feet to get to him. “Hi pretty girl.” He replied, “hi handsome man.” You called back making his cheeks turn pink. “Having fun? I see you had some soju.” He asked chuckling. “I’m having a blast. I wish you were here though.” You said, your lip jutting out into a pout. “I’m sorry baby I’ll be home soon.” He cooed at you. “Fineee I’ll just keep missing my handsome man then.” You said as your twirled back towards Seungkwan, the man laughing as you slumped against him. “Come on Angel let’s get you some water.” He waved at Scoups before leading you into the living room. “She thinks I’m handsome.” Cheol said beaming at Jeonghan. “She’s just as whipped as you are Scoupssi, she hides it a tad better.” His friend remarked before saying goodbye. Turning his full attention back to the kids he watched as the night sky got darker.

After mastering Super you were curled up asleep between Vernon and Kwannie on the couch, both men keeping a close eye on you just in case. Vernon caved first, falling asleep next to you, Seungkwan not far behind him. Dino curled up at your feet his head against your knees sleeping peacefully. Jeonghan snapped a photo and sent it to Cheol, “our little Maknae line.” SCoups hearted the message, calling Jeonghan his voice quieter than normal, “they realize she has someone right?” He pouted. “You realize you’re not her boyfriend yet? this is also the first peaceful sleep she’s had since you left? They make her feel safe.” Jeonghan retorted. Scoups smiled, “tell them I love them and thank you.” Jeonghan nodded before ending the call and walking to the couch, setting an alarm so y/n wouldn’t be late for work he laid his head down, “I love you all, goodnight!” He called, a chorus of I love yous and goodnights followed. Ending the night well.

A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up

Gasping you sit up, a hand to your chest as your heart beats frantically. You rub your face, the images of your dreams littering your eyelids. Not nearly as bad as they have been at least. Sliding your slippers and a hoodie on you make your way into the kitchen and fill up the tea kettle. Your breathing slowly back to a normal al rate as you pour the tea into a cup; your hands shaking slightly still. You grabbed your phone and fuzzy blanket and made your way to the couch. Sipping the tea and scrolling you didn’t hear Seungkwan enter until he spoke, “are you okay y/n?” He said making you jump. “Yeah I’m sorry Kwannie did I wake you?” You responded making room beside you. Pouring himself some tea Seungkwan climbed under the blanket with you. “Nightmare?” You nodded, letting the steam from the mug fill your nose. “Not as bad as they have been but unsettling.” You let out a loose breath, “it’s just never ending, even though I got away I’m just as trapped as before.” Seungkwan wrapped an arm around you, settling against him you continued, “it’s always his face that I see, no matter how good a day I’m having he’s somewhere in my dreams. And I can never get away.” A tear was slipping down your cheek, brushing it away you leaned your head back. “It’s exhausting.” Seungkwan hummed in agreement. “It’s okay to not be okay all the time. Especially around us, we don’t expect you to have it all together. None of us do.” You chuckled, “you seem to have it together Kwan.” He sighed, “y/n-ah, I’m barely holding it together.” Leaning his head back beside yours, “ever since Bin passed, I am on the verge daily of just completely losing it.” You leaned more into him, “oh Kwannie I didn’t realize.” Patting your head he sat you both up, “how could you, Before this we only saw you occasionally. And I’m okay, it’s gotten easier to handle. Just know you’re not alone in this. You have me, and Scoupsssi. All the others. We all are here for whatever you need.” Feeling the tears in your eyes you set down your cup and threw your arms around his neck. Seungkwan hugged you back just as tight. “We’ve got you.” He said running a hand down your back. “I’ve got you too ya know.” You said with a small laugh. “Of course you do.” He responded, standing up and pulling you to your feet. “ let’s get some sleep.” You patted his back as you walked to your room, grateful for the wonderful men that had come into your life.

All that gratefulness left as Seungkwan came barreling back into your room a few hours later, “wake up we have plans today.” You threw a pillow at him, “come on y/n-ahhh we’re going out with Vernon today. A 98 line date day. Let’s go!!” He said chucking the pillow back at you. Groaning you rolled over, content to go back to sleep until his voice started singing, cancelling any hopes of peaceful slumber. Throwing the sheets back you pull yourself out of bed and into the hallway, “good morning jagi.” Jeonghan called from his bed. “How are you still sane with this?” You asked waving your having around. Jeonghan smiled before pulling ear plugs out of his ears. “You adapt, especially when Seokim and Soonyoung are here.” You laughed before waving g and walking into the kitchen. ��Oh good you awake.” Seungkwan said as he handed you a cup of coffee. “How could I possibly sleep through that?” You muttered, closing your eyes you let the strong aroma of coffee surround you. “Where are we going today?” You asked while searching for a snack, “Garosu-gil, shopping district is the goal. Vernon will probably want to go somewhere else but you need more winter clothes.” You looked down at the old T-shirt of SCoups that you slept in. And his hoodie that you have been using. “I guess I didn’t grab any winter stuff when I fled.” You mumbled. “And that’s okay, we will find you new stuff! Now go get ready so we can leave.” He said leading you back down the hall. With a gentle nudge into your room he left you to get ready.

Vernon was trying not to stare as you and Seungkwan rambled about something he hadn’t listened to, far too focused on the fact that the group now had a Seungkwan clone. “You okay Vernon?” You asked noticing his blank stare. “You two could be twins ya know.” He saw the glancing between you too, “personality wise more than looks. It’s like we cloned Seungkwan but female version.” Seungkwans eyebrow’s raised, “you say it like it’s a bad thing. You’re lucky she’s funny and smart like me!” Vernon raised his hands in surrender, “you probably won’t live this one down.” You said quietly as you both trailed after Kwannie. “I heard that and no he won’t.” The oldest mentioned. Vernon rolled his eyes, “you get used to the dramatics.” “Ha Ive lived with Cheol for months. I can handle dramatics.” Vernon nodded along before you both were being pulled into another store by Seungkwan. “Look at this coat!” He said holding it up to you, “Kwannie I cannot afford this.” You said holding the price tag up. “SCoups can…” Vernon hummed from behind you. “No, I hate relying on his money. Or using it.” You said shaking your head, “we’ll just find another one.” Vernon watched you walk away before pulling out his phone snapping a photo and sending it to his leader. “Everyone likes gifts.” He said to his brother that just watched in amusement. “You adore her.” Seungkwan teased, “she’s like this adorable puppy. How can you not love her?” Vernon said exasperated. “I see why Scoups Hyung fell for her so hard.” He added, his eyes never leaving you as you walked through the store. “You should see how Jeonghan is with her. Babies her as much as he does Chan.” Seungkwan huffed. “Our new little sister, she’s going to have everyone wrapped around her finger by the time Scoups hyung gets home.” They both straightened as you came bouncing back towards them. “I’m in desperate need of coffee. On me since yall are helping me.” Seungkwan lead you through the door, “im never going to say no to coffee.” Vernon nodded in agreement, “there’s a good coffee shop up here.” He said pointing towards a sign. In the busy streets, you had been put between the two men. People shuffling around you didn’t notice you had someone in else in front of you until you ran into them, muttering a quick apology you looked around, having lost Seungkwan in the midst of shoppers. “Y/n-ah are you okay?” Vernon asked quietly, now beside you making you jump, “Yeah just lost Kwannie.” You kept looking around, “let’s keep going.” Vernon said noticing you now shaking, pulling you tighter to him and pushing through the crowds. Too focused to notice the man you had bumped into glaring at your retreating form. “There you are.” Your ex muttered before following after you and Vernon.

Letting Vernon pull you into the coffee shop you are immediately engulfed in a hug, “kwan give her a minute.” Vernon said. Seungkwan loosened his grip, but holding your hands in front of you while Vernon rubbed your back. “I’m alright just got frazzled when I couldn’t see either of you.” You said after a deep breath. “I was right behind you, I didn’t leave you.” Vernon said leading you all over to a booth. “Yah!! I didn’t mean to leave, I thought she was behind me.” Seungkwan defended. “It’s not anyones fault, I just got distracted and wasn’t paying attention it’s on me. But I’m alright.” Vernon nodded before gathering coffee orders and walking to the counter, “I don’t even remember losing you in the crowd.” You mumbled. “It’s alright I’m sure very distracting thoughts of Scoups Hyung were going on in your head.” Seungkwan teased, tapping your hand. “What?!” You whispered, “Coups? What are you on Kwannie?” Seungkwan gave you a look of pure amusement. “Y/n-ah, we all see you two together. It’s okay to admit it.” Vernon set the coffees down, “admit what?” He asked sitting beside you. “That she likes Scoups hyung.” Seungkwan said handing you a straw, “I do not. And he doesn’t like me. We’re just friends.” You stammered. “He so does like you, he’s been so down bad since the day you met.” Vernon chuckled. You stood there mouth open, “come on y/n, you sleep in his bed every night and the man literally worships the ground you walk on.” Seungkwan continued. “Really?” You said your cheeks turning pink. “Ha you’re blushing. You do like him!” Vernon all but yelled, “Vernon!! Hush!” You swatted at his arm, “easy tiger.” He said patting your head. All three of you were so caught up in this revelation none of you saw your ex sitting in the back corner watching everything unfold.

An hour later after all the teasing was out of the way the three of you got up to leave, following Seungkwan out the door you turned; eyes snagging on a man with his head down reading. Something about him being familiar but not being able to place it you shrugged and kept walking. Vernon noticing your look turned towards the man who was now staring after you. Vernon stared him down but followed after the two of you quickly, not happy with the way the man was watching you walk away. You made your way back to the apartment complex, happy to lay down and not move anymore today. “You look dead on your feet.” Kwan said nudging your arm, making you stumble. “I’m exhausted.” You moaned struggling to keep up with the two men. “We should get you in the gym.” He retorted, “don’t do that to her.” Vernon responded before pulling you to a stop. “Here.” He said stopping in front of you, crouching slightly. You hopped onto his back and sighed, the weight off your feet bringing blissful tears to your eyes. “Vernon you are the best.” He pats your calf in response as you tighten your grip, “I won’t drop you. Don’t worry.” He chuckled. You patted his head, “I know I trust you.” Seungkwan smiled walking behind taking pictures of the two of you for Scoups. He could only imagine the blush creeping up Vernon’s neck at the endearing statement.

You were asleep on Vernon’s back by the time they reached the apartment, Seungkwan quietly making his way through the apartment as to not wake you. “Yah you’re home late!” Jeonghan called from his room, “shhhhh!!” The two younger men hissed, Jeonghan came out of his room to scold them and found you asleep on Vernon’s back. “Please don’t wake her up.” Vernon said walking so carefully to not jostle you. Jeonghan smiled at them before nodding and heading back into his room. Coming into your temporary room Vernon had no clue how to safely get you into the bed without waking you up. “Here” Kwan said reaching towards you, “y/n-ah. We’re home.” He spoke gently. you groaned and barely opened your eyes before unhooking your legs and letting Seungkwan pull you off his brother. Laying you gently in the bed the boys covered you with the sheets. “Goodnight Angel. Come get me if you need me.” Kwannie whispered turning the light back off. He shot a text to SCoups letting him know they were all home safely before crashing on the couch with Vernon and Jeonghan. “How was she today?” Jeonghan asked watching the door, as if he was waiting for you to need him. “It was good, she lost me in a crowd and panicked a bit but Vernon was with her. She just didn’t see him.” Seungkwan answered, Vernon nodding along. “This guy at the coffee shop was staring at her which I wasn’t fond of but she didn’t seem to notice.” Vernon mumbled. “Staring at y/n?” Jeonghan asked, turning his eyes away from the hall into Vernon. “Yeah when we were leaving, she stopped for a second and looked at him and the kept going and when I looked over he was staring her down. I figured he was staring at Kwannie but he was focused on her.” He explained. “Mhm maybe it was the fact a girl with us that he staring at. Dispatch or something.” Seungkwan interjected.

The other guys nodded, silent for a beat before Jeonghans phone started ringing. Scoups name ran across the screen, “scoupssiii!” They rang out, “shhh.” Vernon hissed nodding towards your room. “Sorry your girls asleep and we don’t want to wake her.” Jeonghan explained. “How is she?” Scoups asked, Seungkwan chuckled at the mere adoration in his leaders voice. “She’s as good as she was twenty minutes ago when I was talking to you.” SCoups huffed into the phone the same time a sharpe cry came from your room. All the men froze, “y/n” Scoups called. Jeonghan could hear you thrashing around the bed, “Hyung what do we do?” Vernon asked, his eyes flitting between your room and the phone. “Hannie go in there if the doors open.” Scoups said, panic now infused in his voice, his pacing footsteps in tune with their padding down the hall. “Y/n-ah.” Jeonghan called into the darkness. You groaned in your sleep, “please” you sobbed. Your pillow soaked with tears that had fallen. Jeonghan made his way to the bed and brushed your hair away from your eyes lightly. “Y/n-ah, little Choi. Are you okay?” You flinched at his hand making contact, making him pause. “Y/n, my pretty girl can you hear me?” Scoups said softly through the phone, “y/n, you’re alright. Your safe. We’ve got you baby.” Scoups voice seemed to calm down the trashing, “keep talking to her.” Vernon whispered. “About what?!” Scoups said through the phone. You whimper, curling around yourself in the bed, “Scoupssi. Talk to her.” Jeonghan hissed, tears threatening to fall from his eyes as well. “Y/n I found the prettiest necklace today and it made me think of you so I bought it. I can’t wait to give it to you. Kkuma misses you so much, it’s only been a day and I think she’s sick of me and wants you.” Cheol said with a laugh, “who knew she wanted a mom more than her dad. My two girls, I’m happy she loves you so much. I’ll FaceTime you when you wake up so you can see her and I can see you. Pictures aren’t enough pretty girl, I’ll be clingy but seeing your face everyday is a requirement now.” Scoups rambled, happy he wasn’t on FaceTime for his members to see him cry. Seungkwan swipped his own tears away as Scoups voice calmed you down.

Scoups talked to you until you were back in a deep sleep, visibly calmer. “Text me when she wakes up in the morning please.” Scpups asked. “She works tomorrow but I’ll be up when she leaves.” Seungkwan replied. “Make sure she eats breakfast and takes lunch, her companies food always makes her feel sick but she forgets to take stuff.” Their leader mentioned, “we’ve got her Scoupssi.” Jeonghan said chuckling. Scoups sighed, saying his goodbyes and reminding them again to watch out for her before hanging up. Jeonghan immediately placed another call, “mingyu-ah can you whip up some food for y/n’s lunches this week? Our girl has a habit of forgetting food it seems.” Mingyu agreed excitedly and an hour later was at their door with a week’s worth of lunches. “Scoups said these were her favorite foods and I added extra protein and some side dishes.” He said setting everything in the fridge. He stepped back grinning, “tell her I said your welcome and to let me know how it taste.” Jeonghan was about to answer when the sound of soft feet coming down the hallway alerted them. Jeonghan peeped around the corner, “jagi what are you doing up? Are you okay?” He cooed at you. Barely awake, wrapped in a blanket, only your sock covered feet and head were visible. “Is cheollie here? I swear I heard his voice.” You mumbled. “He was on the phone, I’ll call him for you.” Jeonghan replied, you shook your head. “I’ll call him but thanks Hannie. Hi Mingyu.” You spoke to the taller man. “I brought you food!” He said practically bouncing with excitement. “What! Why?” You asked waddling into the kitchen, Mingyu throwing open the fridge to show you the meals. Listening to him explain each one, your eyes filled with tears. “You made all of it for me?” You asked sniffling. Mingyu nodded started to speak when you hugged him. He looked panicked for a moment before laughing and hugging you back tightly. “Can’t have our little sister going hungry at work.” He said patting your back. You mumbled a thank you that got lost in the massiveness that was Kim Mingyu. Giving the rest of the men hugs you padded back to your room to call Cheol. Missing the giddy smiles being exchanged.

A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up

Jeonghan pulled up in front of SCoups house, “Jagiya you’re going to have so much fun with us you won’t want to move back here.” You smiled, “i don’t know I’m quite fond of the roommates I have.” Jeonghan laughed, “I’m well aware.” Throwing open the car door you found your house key. The stillness of the house made you uneasy, knowing it was empty of your favorite people. Following Jeonghan up the stairs you grab your bag out of you room and turn to grab your pillow before realizing it was in Cheols bed. Jeonghan gave you his famous smirk when you opened his door “not a word Yoon Jeonghan.” He raised his hands in defense as you snatched your pillow off the well made bed. “How domestic of you.” He mused, you whacked him with the pillow. “Yah!” He cried out, “I’m fragile!” Cackling you grabbed your stuff and walked back downstairs. “Any snacks you want?” He called from the kitchen. “Cheol cleaned out the kitchen before he left.” You replied. “Of course he did.” Hannie pouted as they locked up the house. “Alright little Choi lets go.” “Don’t call me that.” You quipped. “Why not? You’re apart of the family.“ He retorted. “Clearly I’m not.” You snapped back. Jeonghan paused at your response. “Y/n you know he would’ve taken you if he could.” He said calmly. “I know.” You sighed, “I have never seen him so distraught over a break. Leaving you was not easy on him.” He said patting you on the head. Cheols words flood your brain, he was coming home to you. You nodded, “I know he deserves a break.” You said giving Jeonghan a side glance, “still sucks.” He gave a sad nod, “I know I’m not Coups but I am here for you. We all are if you need us.” With that declaration he started the car and headed to your new temporary home.

You had been in Jeonghans apartment before but never when it was this calm and quiet. He opened the door and lead you Inside, the quiet lasted all of five seconds before Seungkwan came around the corner yelling. “Yah why did you buy so many groceries. We just went to the shop?!” Waving his finger at Jeonghan. “Hi y/n welcome to our home.” He said pausing to greet you before looking back at his roommate. “Kwannie what are you talking about?” Jeonghan asked moving around the younger man only to be stopped by the bags of food in the kitchen. “That is what I’m asking about.” Kwan retorted. “Oh my god he’s so down bad.” Jeonghan exclaimed, “these are for y/n.” You whipped your head in his direction, “what?!” Crouched down you grabbed the paper attached to the bag. “Make sure she’s eats well. These are her favorites.” Scrawled in Scoups elegant handwriting. “How did you miss that?” Jeonghan laughed at his younger brother. “I was too overwhelmed by carrying them all inside.” The younger retorted. “I’ll put them where I’m staying, I’m sorry they’re in the way.” You said feeling your face flush. “It’s alright, we have the space for them out here.” Jeonghan countered setting his stuff on the table. “These are for you.” Seungkwan said motioning towards a pair of slippers in your favorite color. You noticed the pink hues at the boys ears, “thank you Seungkwan.” You said sliding them on, “I’ll show you to your room.” He said motioning you to follow him. Guiding you through the apartment he pointed out Jeonghans bedroom and the bathroom across the hall. Your bedroom was next to Jeonghans and across from Seungkwans. “We’ll share Hans bathrooms so you have this one to yourself.” The younger mentioned. “You dont have to do that.” You tried to counter, quickly cut off by Seungkwan’s hand waving around, “let us take care of you y/n-ah.” You nodded gratefully. He opened your bedroom door leading you In while Jeonghan got the key off the top, “just in case you want it.” He said as they exited the room, holding out the key for you to take. “Thanks Hannie but I don’t think I need it.” You replied looking around the room. Jeonghan just nodded and added it back to the top of the door. Completely focused on unpacking you missed the smiles between brothers, and the text Jeonghan sent to his leader.

Scoups got off the plane and reached for his phone, skimming the text from his members wishing him well he stopped at the text from Jeonghan regarding you. “She’s settled in well, refused the key to lock her door.” Scoups entire face lit up, knowing you were safe in their apartment but also that you fet comfortable enough to not lock your door. He pulled up you contact and hit dial. Ringing twice he waited for you to answer. “Cheollie!’ Your voice rang through easing the ache in his heart. “Hey pretty girl, settling in nicely with the boys?” He asked, looking for his manager. He heard your door shut, “yes everything here is good, did you have a good flight?” You mused, laying back on your new bed. Breathing in you got a whiff of something familiar. “Cheollie have you slept over here recently?” Scoups laughed, “when have i not been asleep next to you?” You smelled your pillow, then the other next to it. “Something in here smells like your cologne.” You responded, “i may have sprayed the bed with it, in case you missed me and needed comfort.” he said sheepishly. You cackled, “that’s so sweet Cheol.” “And yet you laugh at me?” He pouted, you could picture his face which made you laugh harder. “You’re so cute Cheollie.” You cooed at the man. “I have to go check in but text me okay?” He responding getting into the company car. “Of course, don’t work too hard Cheollie.” You responded. “I-“ he stammered, “have a good day y/n.” Cheol said quickly ending the call, you stared at your phone before rolling off the bed and going to look for our temporary roommates.

You found both guys in the living room staring at their phones while an anime played in the background, “y/n-ah come join the fun.” Hannie said pulling your arm, plunking you down between the two men. “Jeonghannie did you think that maybe she didn’t want to sit with us? Or right between us?” Seugkwan said before turning to you, “y/n are you comfortable sitting here or would you like more room?” You smiled at him before grabbing the blanket, “I’m good here but thank you Seungkwan.” “You can call me kwannie, everyone does.” He responding stealing half the blanket. Getting comfortable you laid back, dozing off to the sounds of their voices and the background noise. Hours later Seungkwan watched your eyelids rapidly moving before turning to his older brother, “how do we know if she needs us?” Jeonghan looked at you pulling your blanket up higher, “we’ll know, she hasn’t had any nightmares lately but with Coups being gone I don’t know how it’ll affect her.” On cue you let out a groan and curled your body up tighter, “no please.” You moaned, the sound bringing tears to Seungkwan eyes. “Hyung what do we do?” He asked, not wanting to make it worse or scare you. “Jagiya?” The older called, running a hand over your hair. You flinched away from his touch, shaking even in your sleep. “Y/n, please wake up.” Seungkwan called out to you. “Seungcheollll” you cried further breaking the two mens hearts. “Y/n!” Jeonghan called, much louder this time. Your eyes flew open, sitting straight up you looked around; disoriented and not seeing the man you had grown accustomed to searching for. “Jagiya?” Jeonghan cooed at you, “we’re right here, what do you need?” He gently swiped away the tears that streaked down your face.

Seungkwan stood up and walked into the kitchen started a kettle of water. You searched for your phone, tears still streaming down your face, “here use mine.” The older man said as he gently handed you his phone, unlocked with Cheols contact pulled up. “I can’t,- I can’t bother him with this right now. He needs to work.” You stammered, still pulling yourself back to reality. “Y/n-ah, he will never think of you calling as a bother to him and it’ll make you feel better right?” He questioned. You nodded, Jeonghan reached and hit the FaceTime, leaning back you waited for him to answer, Jeonghan tucking you against his side, running a soothing hand down your arm. “Hannie, hows my girl-“ Cheol started, seeing your tear streaked face and Jeonghan distressed look he quickly stopped, “Y/n-ah pretty girl what happened?” He asked. “Here y/n.” Seungkwan said sinking down beside you handing you a cup of tea. He adjusted the blankets around you before turning to his leader, “coupssii” he greeted with a nod before focusing back on the girl next to him. “Can I talk to y/n a minute alone?” He asked his members. They both nodded and walked into the kitchen. “What happened?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. “Just another fun night for me.” You choked out, “y/n-“ he started before you but him off. “It was just another nightmare Cheollie, I’m fine.” His eyes shifted, “you dont seem fine, talk to me about it please.” He practically begged. “It was the same dream again, where you are hurt and i cant get to you.” You stated not meeting his eyes. “Except I’m not there this time and that upsets you.” He stated, basically reading your thoughts. You nodded along, annoyed how easily he can read you. “I’m actually glad you’re in Japan Cheollie. Because he’s no where near you and I know you are safe.” His eyes softened, “you are safe too y/n. The guys won’t let anything happen to you.” “He’s right ya know!” Jeonghan called from the kitchen before a thump of Kwannie smacking him. Laughing you finally looked at Cheol. “I’m okay Cheollie. I promise.” He smiled, “I know pretty girl. Can you give the phone to Jeonghan so I can talk to him. Please.” Nodding you walked into the kitchen and gave the oldest his phone. “Alone Han.” Scoups voice rang out. Nodding and waving Jeonghan made his way to his bedroom shutting the door firmly behind him.

You and Seungkwan looked at each other before both walking to Jeonghans door and pressing your ears against it. Muffled sounds came out, “I don’t remember these doors being this thick.” Kwannie muttered making your chuckle. “They aren’t.” Jeonghans voice rang out, “and your feet leave shadows.” Trudging back to the kitchen you leaned against the counter, “do you want to go get dinner?” Kwannie asked grabbing his keys and a hoodie. Nodding you followed him to the door, “here.” He said throwing another hoodie at you, pulling it on you followed him out the door. Walking down the street you followed behind the brown haired man. Slowing down his pace he looped his arm through yours, “what are you feeling food wise? It’s on Jeonghan.” Giving him a look, he shrugged his shoulders, “I grabbed his wallet instead of mine.” You laughed, “should we treat ourselves to some dessert as well. Surely he wouldn’t want us to miss out on ice cream.” Kwannie’s eyes flashed, his smile growing “oh I knew I liked you.” You strolled into the convenience store, after buying ramen, kimbap and ice cream. You settled on a coffee and chips as a post meal snack. “Is he going to be mad?” You asked handing the card back to its temporary owner. “Nah Scoupssi will just pay him back or he’ll make me.” “I can pay him back, I do have a job.” You retorted. “He won’t accept that, he sees you as a little sister and after what happens to his I don’t think he’ll ever ask you for anything.” Kwannie explained, “Jeonghan has a sister?” You questioned. The man’s eyes got wide processing his words, “He did yeah.” You noticed the sorrow creeping into his features, noting the past tense used. You patted his back, “should we take him a snack back since he was so gracious to buy us dinner?” You asked standing up and changing the subject.

You walked back into the apartment to find a very distressed Jeonghan and Joshua. Jeonghans eyes raked over you, searching for something before turning to his younger brother, “Shua take y/n into the kitchen please.” Joshua nodded, gesturing you towards the doorway. You patted Seungkwan’s arm as you walked by him. “Hyung-“ jeonghan held up a hand waiting for the door to close. “What were you thinking? I came out and she’s gone! I had no clue where she was!” He rambled. “She was with me!” Seungkwan defended, “how was I suppose to know that Kwannie! She could’ve gotten hurt?” Jeonghan countered, his hands flailing around him. “I wouldn’t let anything happen to her Jeonghan. She was safe with me.” Seungkwan stated, his eyes burning. “You’re not the only one who’s looking out for her. We all want y/n safe.” With that he turned on his heel and walked into the kitchen. “Don’t stress too much over it Kwan, he was just stressed.” Joshua said nudging the younger man. “Because of me?” You asked. “He didn’t know where you went or that Seungkwan was with you.” Joshua explained, glancing at the door. Sighing you grabbed the food for Jeonghan and walked out of the kitchen. “This should be good.” Seungkwan said following after you, “she’s a fiesty one.” He added making Joshua chuckle. “Because we don’t have enough of those to deal with around here.” The older exclaimed but happily following along.

Knocking on Jeonghans door you heard the mumble of come in. “I had my phone Hannie, you could’ve just called me. Are you so adept to cheating that logic has left your brain?” You said standing in the doorway. Jeonghan turned in his chair, “Scoupssi asked to speak with you again after we were done. And when I walked out and couldn’t find you, I wasn’t about to stress him out more than he is. I love you y/n, like you are my own sister but do not make me lie to my brother again.” You walked into the room, setting his food down on the desk, “I’m sorry Hannie, I honestly didn’t mean to stress you out. We brought your favorites, as an I’m sorry snack.” He glanced at the food, then you settling down on the floor. “What? You don’t like to eat alone.” You remarked, before pulling another kimbap roll out of your pocket. “Eat please. You paid for it.” You said gesturing towards the food. Chuckling Jeonghan moved to the floor in front of you, “just please let me know if you decide to leave the apartment after dark. Just so I don’t worry.” He said opening his own roll. “Of course Hannie. And I love you too.” You said smiling down at your food, “I’ve always wanted an older brother, is this what it feels like?” Jeonghan laughed, “well now you have 12 brothers to look out for you. Right you two?” Seungkwan and Joshua peaked around the door frame. “Of course, I’m sure that’s more than she bargained for though.” Joshua said sitting down beside the two of you, Seungkwan following suit. “I don’t know she seems to know how to handle us pretty well.” Seungkwan said winking at you. Laughing you let yourself enjoy the time with your friends and the calmness they brought to your mind and heart.

A/N: in my opinion this is where the story truly starts picking up and I hope you all continue to enjoy it🤍

Not Alone- An S.Coups Story

Synopsis: After begging the famous K-pop sensation S.Coups for help in the Seoul street market your life completely flips upside down, bringing you true friendship and a chance at true love.

Warnings: brief show of domestic violence

A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up

Scoups rolled over, his alarm blaring, “mhmm” the small body next to him groaned. Hitting the snooze and rolling back over, he knew he needed to get up and finished getting things ready for Japan but he curled back up around you, “do you need to get up?” You muttered despite wrapping your arms around him. Cheol chuckled, “I’m not moving now.” Adjusting his body so you were pressed against his chest. He traced shapes on your back as you snuggled closer to him, “I don’t want to hold you up. When does your flight leave?” You asked quietly. His hand stilled, “a few hours.” His hand started trailing up to the back of your head running his hand through your hair. “Just let me stay here until I have to go.” He replied leaning his head down towards yours. Nodding you pulled the blankets up, “whatever you want cheollie.”

“Choi Seungcheol!” Seungmins voice echoed through the house. His door flung open making Scoups jump, jostling and waking you in the process. “What?!” He snapped back. “You are aware you leave for Japan today right? Why are you not packed?” Seungmin asked from the doorway. He watched his brother glare at him before gently moving the girl and covering her back up. “Did you have to yell?” He whispered as he pushed Seungmin out the door. “She still sleeping without nightmares?” Scoups nodded his head, wanting nothing more than to be back in bed with you. “Your flight leaves in two hours. Get ready.” He said before walking back downstairs. Cheol made his way back to the bed before leaning down, “time to get up pretty girl.” He whispered, his lips grazing your forehead. You mumbled unpleasantries at him before opening your eyes, finding Cheol gazing down at you fondly. “Good morning to you too.” He mused. Trying to restrain your smile at his disheveled hair you reached up and ran your hand through it, “your hair has a mind of its own.” Leaning onto your touch he smiled taking in your state, hair a mess, one of his old shirts wrapped around your body. “I’m aware I look like a mess.” You muttered sitting up more. “You look beautiful, you always do.” Cheol replied, making your face heat up as your eyes locked into his. “I- uh should go wash up if we need to leave soon.” You stammered, pulling your hand back and sliding out of the bed. Cheol nodded, and watched you scramble out of his room.

The drive to the airport was silent, Jeonghan driving and you in the backseat lost in thought. Scoups kept looking in the mirror at you making his friend chuckle. “Y/n are you ready for the chaos that is living with seventeen?” Jeonghan asked, you gave a half smile, “I’ll miss the fancy mattress but I think it’ll be fun.” Jeonghan laughed while Scoups pouted, “that’s all you miss?” You sighed, “I suppose I miss Kkuma, why are you taking my girl from me?” Scoups jaw fell open making Hannie cackle. “Fine don’t miss me. I’ll just stay in Japan.” He remarked. Jeonghan saw your smirk falter before returning, “can I have the g wagon then?” You asked, the sass no longer evident on your voice. Jeonghan nudged Scoups arm, both of them noticing the shift in you immediately. “I was promised that car years ago Jagiya.” Jeonghan replied with a smile. Huffing you sat back in the seat, letting your thoughts consume you the rest of the ride.

Standing back while Scoups talks to Jeonghan trying not to listen in, you stepped away going to check his flight times again. Scoups watched y/n walk away, “Hannie just look after her please.” He practically begged his friend. “Scoupssi I’ve got her. Don’t worry. Enjoy your break.” Jeonghan replied also watching the girl make her way back to them. “I’ll give you a minute.” He said to his friend before walking towards the restroom leaving Scoups with you. “Be safe Cheol, have fun.” You said with a smile, avoiding eye contact. “Y/n.” You looked up at him, eyes watering; he opened his arms. Sniffling you walked into them, wrapped your arms tightly around his frame. “Y/n, my pretty girl I’m coming back. I’ll be home in two weeks.” You nodded, shaking the tears loose, “be safe and come home to me Cheollie.” Scoups hugged you tighter, “I’ll always come back to you.” He responded gently. He saw Jeonghan watching them, tapping his watch. Stepping back you moved to his side; Jeonghan wrapped his arm around your shoulder as Scoups gathered his bags. “Keep my girl safe and happy Hannie. Look after the kids.” Scoups reminded his friend. Jeonghan nodded, moving aside as Cheol hugged you, pressing a kiss to your forehead before letting go, “I’ll call you when I land.” He murmured quietly, swiping a stray tear off your cheek. You nodded, not trusting your voice. Scoups walked away, feeling his eyes water as his hand pulled free of your grasp. Forcing himself to keep walking, his own tears now falling down his face.

Warnings: brief show of domestic violence

A/N: This story is purely fiction. It talks about harsh things such as domestic violence, suicide and anxiety. This in no way represents the artist or their families. It is all made up

Unlocking the door you set your bag down and slid on your slippers. Happy to take off the heels that were bruising your feet. “Hyunggg? Cheol??” You called, walking further into the house. Kkuma came running to you jumping around your feet. “Hi princess, where’s your dad?” Picking up the small dog you walked to your bedroom, more of an oversized closet with how little you actually stayed there now. “Y/n?” You heard Seungmin call from downstairs. “Up here” you called back. “Hey Cheol rode with Mingyu to their team meeting. They should be back soon.” He stated making his way up the stairs. You nodded, “do we have dinner plans? Or am I cooking again?” “We could go grab tteokbokki from the street vendor? Haven’t had that in a while.” Grinning you grabbed your jacket and followed him downstairs.

Cheol looked down at his phone smiling, “what did y/n say?” Joshua interjected, making the leader roll his eyes. “It’s Seungmin if you have to know nosey.” “Hyung never makes you smile and blush.” Mingyu retorted. Jeonghan peaked over his friend’s shoulder, “it’s Seungmin Hyung.” He confirmed “but he sent a photo of y/n” he added with a smirk. “Yah can a man have some privacy please.” Scoups said exasperated. Everyone went back to their own conversations except Scoups personal bullies. “Scoupssi just ask her out.” Jeonghan said shaking his head. “She sleeps in your bed every night, you’re basically a married couple at this point.” Joshua added. “Except she has yet to say how she feels and I’m not pushing her. If and only if she feels ready will I ask her out.” Scoups replied. “So you do like her?” Mingyu confirmed, letting them know everyone was listening in. “Of course he does, he’s been down for her since he laid eyes on her.” Seungkwan retorted. “No I just wanted to help, let her heal somewhere she was safe.” Cheol defended. “And then you fell for her?” Vernon questioned. “Yes.” Jeonghan said. Scoups groaned, he was never going to get out of this conversation. “Okay yes I like her, I’ve always been drawn to her but I want her to heal and be okay by herself before trying anything. So no I will not be asking her out anytime soon. So drop it.” He snipped. “Do not bring this up again.” He added glaring at his brothers.

Sighing he looked down at his phone, at the video his brother took of you dancing with your tteokbokki, a genuine smile on your face. “She looks happy.” Jeonghan said quietly, “she does.” Scoups replied tearing his eyes away from the video. “Is she going with you and hyung to Japan?” Jeonghan asked. Scoups ran a hand down his face, “I haven’t told her yet. But I doubt her job will let her leave for two weeks.” Jeonghan hummed, “she can stay with me, I’m not you but I’ll keep her safe and she won’t be alone.” Scoups patted his friend on the back, “I’ll talk to her, see what she’s comfortable with.” He needed to tell you about the trip, he’s been putting it off as to not derail you or your comfortable routine you had been in but he couldn’t keep it from you any longer or keep asking his brother to as well.

Saying his goodbyes to Mingyu, Scoups opened the door finding you and his brother on the couch watching your show. “I don’t understand why he doesn’t just tell her?” Seungmin exclaimed. Chuckling you paused the show, neither of you hearing the third housemate walk in. “He knows she’s not ready. Yes he loves her but he loves her enough to wait for her.” Seungmin groaned. “That’s so dumb. It’s gonna be so slow.” You picked up the remote starting the show again, “the right man isn’t going to rush the women he loves, you wait endlessly for the people you love.” You stated. Cheol shut the door, making his presence more known after hearing that. “What are we watching?” He asked sitting next to you on the couch. “Some stupid drama.” Seungmin huffed. “Can I talk to you?” Cheol asked you softly. Seungmin paused, “you sure?” He questioned. Looking between the two brothers “what’s going on?” You asked, trying to not panic. “Cheol?” You turned towards him, “I have to go to Japan for the Nars campaign next month.” He hesitated before continuing, “but hyung and my parents are coming and we’re staying another week for vacation.” He explained, his hand enclosed around yours. “Oh.” Scoups watched your face falter then put back on a fake smile. “I’m glad you’re getting a break, you deserve it Cheol.” You squeezed his hand before pulling yours away. “Y/n we wanted you to come with us but I know your office is stingy on how long you can take off.” Seungmin responded trying to help his brother whose face had fallen after you pulled away. “Yeah I wouldn’t want to impose on your family either.” You remarked as you stood up. “I’m happy for you guys, it’s well deserved.” And with that you walked up the steps, Scoups physically flinching when he heard your bedroom door shut.

Turning to his brother, “I had a plan. She’s not going to be alone.” He muttered. Seungmin chucked, “I have a feeling she’s not going to listen to that tonight little brother.” Patting him on the head Seungmin went to his own room and shut the door leaving Scoups alone in his thoughts. Groaning he pulled out his phone and dialed Jeonghans number, “hello-“ he started before Scoups cut him off “make sure Seungkwan is okay with her staying with you before I go tell her. She’s already upset I don’t want the plans to be unstable.” “It was my idea Hyung.” Seungkwan voice came through the phone. Cheol said his thanks and hung up before making his way upstairs. He got ready for bed and laid there for an hour waiting for you before marching across the hall. Knocking on your door he heard a soft come in. “Y/n are you coming to bed?” He asked walking into your dimly lit room. You were curled up under the sheets to where he could only see the outline of your body. “No.” Scoups rolled his eyes before walking closer to your bed, “you’re pouting and it’s gonna bite you in the butt when you can’t sleep at all tonight.” He chided. “Says the king of pouting.” You rebuked. Laughing Scoups grabbed your comforter, pulling it down. “Cheol!!” You hissed as the cold air hit your body.

Not giving himself a moment to process you were in one of his shirts he scooped up your body carrying you out of your room. “Seungcheol put me down!” You demanded. He dropped you on his bed, making you bounce. “Stop y/n, just get in bed and I will explain everything.” You huffed but crawled under the blankets, turning to face the annoying man child. “Explain.” Scoups got under the blankets, facing you and adjusting so you were covered, “do you want to stay here alone while we are gone?” You heart cracked and the thought of being alone here. “Jeonghan and Joshua can come stay or Seungkwan and Hannie have offered for you to come stay at their apartment. They have an extra bedroom. You don’t have to decide now but those are two options.” He explained, “I want you to come with us, but I also know you want to work and keep proving yourself there so I had a plan but you went off and pouted before I could explain.” He continued, his eyes searching deep in yours. “Just tell me what’s going through your pretty head.” You turn your head away from him looking at your fingers picking the hem of the shirt. “I feel selfish because god knows you deserve a break Cheol.” You huffed “but I wish you weren’t going. I know I’ll have Jeonghan and he’s great don’t get me wrong but.” You stop trying to find the right words without leading down a road you weren’t ready for. “But what?” He asked, his fingers under your chin gently forcing you to look him in the eyes. “He’s not you Cheol. Yes I’m comfortable around him and I trust him completely. It’s nothing against Hannie, just my preference is always going to be you.” You sighed. “I know I sound like a brat and pouty but-“ Cheol chuckled, “you don’t have to explain or feel like you have to justify yourself. I know you depend on me- oh don’t give me that look.” He scolded looking at your twisted face, “it’s not bad to depend on someone who cares about you. It’s okay to be stressed about me being gone when you find comfort in me.” You laid your head on the pillow next to his, “what do you even know.” You mumbled closing your eyes leaving Scoups to wonder what that statement could possibly mean.
