Seventeen X Y/N (A little Jeongcheol)

Why?

Seungcheol stood up after the song ended and walked towards you.

He patted your head without a word and just left the room.

He was still mad...

'Y/n ah~ gwenchana'

Jihoon rushed into the room and hugged you. He spent the whole time working with you through the song so he knew the amount of effort you put into the song.

'Uljima~ don't cry anymore'

You didn't even know tears were coming down your face. Everything felt so numb.

After letting your tears dry out, Jihoon brought you to his room to sleep. Ensuring you were comfortable, he left the room to find Seungcheol.

'Jeonghan hyung, where's Scoups hyung?'

'In the garden I think, why? He seemed a little down. Did something happen?'

'Y/n's apology didn't turn out well'

Jeonghan sighed. He knew about the song and your efforts to apologise to Seungcheol. He just couldn't understand why Seungcheol didn't accept it.

'Hyung'

Seungcheol turned around.

'Woozi'

'Are you ok? Y/n was crying before she fell asleep in my bed'

Seungcheol ran a hand through his hair.

'I honestly don't know why I acted that way just now. I'm not mad at her, not anymore. I just don't know how to approach her again. Imagine ignoring her for close to two weeks and she apologises. She apologises! Not even me! She didn't even get mad at me for ignoring her! How can I approach my little baby again? Woozi... help me'

Woozi didn't know what to do. He has never seen his hyung so distraught before. He also wasn't a man of comfort or physical touch so he didn't know how to comfort his hyung.

'Woozi-ya, head back in first. I'll talk to him'

Woozi nodded and left Seungcheol with Joshua.

'Cheol,'

'I'm so sorry Shua-ya. I hurt you in order to protect her, yet here I am, I hurt her'

Seungcheol immediately left, leaving Joshua standing there.

'Jun! Hoshi! Bring a towel and a tub of water! Y/n is burning up!'

Seungcheol shouted across the house. After talking to Joshua, he went to visit you in Jihoon's room. He wanted to comb his hand through your hair but when he felt your forehead, he knew something was wrong.

'Hyung, here'

Seungcheol submerged the towel into the basin of water and squeezed it before patting the towel around your face.

'Can you pass me another towel? The rose quartz and serenity one on my bed?'

It was the softest towel Seungcheol had ever felt and he wanted you to be comfortable with the towel.

When Jun passed him the towel, he submerged it in the water and squeezed it, but this time, he folded it and placed it on your forehead.

'Thanks. You guys can go sleep first. I'll stay with Y/n tonight. Tell Woozi he can sleep in my room'

'Ne hyung, jaljayo~'

'Jaljayo'

After Jun and Hoshi left the room, Seungcheol held your hand and lifted it to his lips.

'Forgive appa. Tomorrow, my aegi will be independent. My aegi will forget her useless appa. She will be the young independent woman she was before she met the useless piece of trash that just held her back from doing better and striving even more. Tomorrow, I promise. My aegi will remove this piece of obstacle, this piece of emotional and psychological harm. Goodbye forever my aegi'
