Seventeen Imagines III

#103 "The Word I Taught You"

"Hey guys, let's be honest. Who is currently dating?" Seungkwan asked the members.

Everyone stopped whatever they're doing: Seungcheol, Mingyu, Junhui and Woozi put down their phones. Hoshi and Jeonghan woke up from a light sleep. Dino, Joshua and Minghao put their headphones off. Dokyeom stopped talking non-stop by himself. And, Wonwoo and Vernon diverted their blank stare to Seungkwan.

"Come on," Seungkwan persuaded. "We have 'no dating' policy so It's okay to date. Just be honest." He picked up the brush and used it as a mic.

"Oho, it's this an open forum?" Dokyeom excitedly said, fixing his sitting posture on his seat.

"Even if there is, I doubt he'll share it," Dino laughed and crossed his arms.

"If I have one, I will keep it a secret from you, guys," Minghao blurted.

"Why?!" Hoshi shouted. "Why? Why? Why?!" He even shook the shoulder of the person beside him.

"Hey! Stop shaking my shoulder or I'll hit you!" It was Woozi, who complained. "You're overreacting again."

"Why will you keep it a secret from us?" Mingyu asked Minghao.

"Because you'll annoy my girlfriend. I wanted to give her a peaceful life in the future," Minghao answered.

"But you don't have a girlfriend, Minghao~" Junhui teased then looked back again at his phone screen to play games. He's not interested in the topic anymore.

"Guys, I'll confess," Seungcheol suddenly retorted. Now all eyes on him. While raising his hand, he shared with a sigh, "I'm actually...dating Jeonghan."

"Oh baby~" Jeonghan quickly went along with Seungcheol's joke. He went to him and hugged him lovingly.

Laughing, Joshua also joined the two. "Me too, me too," he said then cut in between Jeonghan and Seungcheol.

"Argh! My eyes!" the youngest one, Dino, pressed his throbbing eyes in front of his hyungs (older brothers).

"What about the person who kept on smiling from the corner?" Seungkwan brought.

As if they all know who he was talking about, Wonwoo became the center of attraction.

"Why? Why me?" Wonwoo pointed himself then laughed.

"That's right. Wonwoo looks so happy nowadays," Hoshi said, narrowing his suspicious 10:10 eyes.

"Spill it dude, who is it?" Mingyu bumped his friend's shoulder.

Wonwoo fixed his eyeglass before answering, "It's not like that. I just see the world in different light nowadays. Also, I read this in a book: dating someone you love is not the only happy pill in the world."

"Let's not talk about any book. My head is aching,"  Dokyeom pressed his temple with two index fingers.

"Dokyeom hyung, you look like you're calling your alien forces," Dino laughed.

"Am I?" Dokyeom chuckled, then acted, "Beep beep beep."

The surroundings went noisy, as the members speak one after another. They were laughing, shouting, joking and telling nonsense things. But one person in the corner remained. It was...

"Hey Vernon, are you okay?" Seungkwan asked the man who kept his lips pursed a straight line.

Vernon gave a quick nod and a thumbs up. There are really times when he's quiet. But today, he's surprisingly not active at all. Seungkwan found it weird too.

"I'll go to the rest room," Vernon excused as he stood up. With a phone on his hand, he went inside the rest room. He kept on sighing and it resonated inside the four wall room.
