Seventeen X Y/N (A little Jeongcheol)

Sulky Cheol

'Y/n baby, I'm so sorry. I was clouded by judgement and I didn't know what I was doing. I know no amount of apologies would heal the scar and trauma inflicted but please know I really really really regret my actions tonight. I don't expect you to forgive me but know that if you need help, I am still here'

You stayed silent, listening to him apologise. You could feel his sincerity through the look in his eyes.

'I'm not mad. Just afraid. I forgive you. Give me time to not be afraid of you anymore'

You stood up, keeping the first aid box and walked to Jeonghan's room.

'Jeonghan oppa, Seungcheol appa'

Jeonghan walked to you and placed your loose hair behind your ear.

'Seungcheol's a bit mad but I trust you know what to do?'

You nodded and passed Jeonghan the first aid box.

'I'll go check on Joshua. Take your time to talk to Cheol'

'Thank you. Please don't get mad at Joshua shii'

Jeonghan patted your head and left.

'Appa'

'Appa~'

You pouted a little, tugging his sleeve, acting like a little child. He was ignoring you and you knew it was partly cause you called his full name.

'I'm sorry I called your full name~ you didn't listen when I told you to stop'

'I was giving him what he deserved. I failed to protect you and this happened'

'Appa~'

You wrapped your arms around him. Leaning your head on his chest, listening to his heart beat.

'You asked me earlier what I was doing here, well... after you guys got Vernon oppa to come, I tried to sleep but it didn't feel safe without any of you so I begged Vernon oppa to drive me here. I wanted you to hold to me to sleep like before then I saw you punching Joshua shii'

'I'm so sorry aegi. Did I scare you? I'm so sorry'

You shook your head and pecked Seungcheol's cheeks.

'I'm ok. With you here, I'm safe'

Seungcheol held you even tighter and brought you to his room, covering both of you in the blanket.

Both of you lied in bed, comforting silence took over.

'Aegi? Can I ask you something?'

You hummed, waiting for his question.

'Have you ever regretted calling me appa?'

You were shocked by the question. Calling him appa was one of your best decisions. He made you feel safe, he made you feel the fatherly love you never experienced before.

'No. I never regretted that decision'

'Then why are you always so much closer to the members than me?'

'I- I didn't know how to open up to you. You always have so much things to worry about and I didn't want to be another burden to you. Getting hugs and kisses from you was enough for me to know you loved me. Calling you appa was one of my best decisions and I know it won't change. I know how hard you are on yourself when I get hurt. Jeonghan oppa tells me but just know, I never blamed you for it. Never. You give me protection everyday, the fatherly love I never had and even if you think it's not enough, it is enough for me. I can feel it in my heart. I love you so much that I can't bring myself to open up to you about my worries cause I know how protective you are of me that you can be impulsive, throwing everything aside just to ensure you are here with me. I'm not the best at expressing my love but I love you so so much. Don't forget that'

Seungcheol was shocked at your sudden heartfelt speech. He never knew he meant so much to you. Slowly processing what you said, he suddenly exclaimed.

'Yah! Did you just say I am impulsive?!'
