The Journey Of US || A Seventeen FF

Double Update Coz Y NOT
Also, this is the first time I'm doing a double update since 'US'
Ah, I love you all a lotttttt❤️❤️❤️

Washing up the tear stains Mingyu walked out of the washroom to where you were waiting for him.
👶 I'm sorry
You looked down in guilt for ruining his suit
🐶 Anything for my cutie pie!
He bent down to your line of vision and pinched your nose making you let out a small giggle.
🐶 That's better, let's go in.

You walked back inside the hall with Mingyu. The boys were looking over anxiously but looked a lot more relaxed after finding you with Mingyu. You sat between Mingyu and little Kim, clearly leaving a distance between him and you. But the attempts were futile as he pulled you closer and straight in the chair.

Luckily, this time, no gossiping aunties came in your way as you had a peaceful dinner. Little Kim was a little worried as you were unusually quiet but decided to keep mum. Mingyu kept checking on you every couple of minutes. After dinner, you excused yourself to the washroom.

"Hey YN, did you recognize me?" A woman approached you making you mentally groan.
👶 I'm sorry, I can't recall you.
"it's fine you met me when you were little. I'm your mom's friend. You can call me Aunt Bora,"
👶Annyeonghasaeyo Aunt Bora,
"Aww such a cutie... Anyway, Mom told me you're not dating anyone, why?"
You kept silent annoyed at her questions,

"Ynie you have to look more presentable dear. The hidden aim of parties like this is to find suitable girls for the boys. I know it may sound odd to your generation, but I know better. Your mom told me that she isn't worried about all that, she has been like that. But listen to Aunty, showing up in such dull-looking clothes with no makeup won't help you find a man. No matter how men preach that they don't care about looks, they fall for looks first. Who even has time to talk and understand people these days? You are young and a woman, play the card and get someone for you. It's not that you don't look good, but it will be better if you lose a bit of weight an-"

🐶 She's great the way she is Aunty. You don't have to worry about that,
Mingyu interfered as he walked closer to you,
"Oh, Mingyu, I know you boys will say that. But tell me will you date someone like her?"
🐶What do you mean by someone like her?
"Come on Mingyu. We both know what I'm talking about. She isn't appealing, no man will turn to look at her, I'm telling this for her better son. She is not going to get a man wi-"
🐶She has me, she doesn't need anyone.
"Yeah, I appreciate your care for your friend, but she needs a ma-"
🐶I wouldn't call a guy who is after looks man.
"Who are we kidding Mingyu? I have seen the world son, when it comes down to you, you too will go for looks a-"

Mingyu pulled you closer as he pressed his lips to yours catching you off guard. Aunt Bora had almost had her eyeballs rolling on the ground.
"M-Mingyu?"
🐶I beg to differ. Also, she is beautiful in my eyes, I don't need anyone to certify that. Now if you may, we will take our leave.

Mingyu dragged you away from her out to the hallway, where Seungcheol and Chan were waiting. Chan took you from Mingyu's embrace as he pressed you against his chest which you went without resistance.
🍒What happened?
He asked seeing Mingyu pissed
🐶Nothing, just an annoying bitch,
Seungcheol peeked at you from Chan's behind before slowly caressing your hair.

"Kim Mingyu? What the hell are you doing?" You four looked behind hearing a furious Mrs Kim. She wasn't alone, but with two more furious ladies, Mrs Lee, and Mrs Yoon. Mingyu raised an eyebrow with a frown.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Mrs Lee snapped at Mingyu as she pulled you away from Chan.
🐶Ok, calm down and tell me what happened.
"What happened? What did you do to her?" Mrs Yoon glared at him as a frown made its way to yours.
🍒Mom, calm down and tell us what happened.
"I will tell you. He kissed her and luckily Bora found them before he could force himself on her." Mrs Kim raged with anger
🐶What? That old bitch,
"The hell we-"
👶 It's a misunderstanding eomma.
You interrupted before things could go out of hands
"No baby, don't worry. Did he threaten y-"
👶NO, No, that's not what happened. Nothing happened between us. Aunt Bora was talking bad about me and Mingyu stepped in to help me. She is lying,
You explained looking straight into the eyes of the ladies and they were convinced
"You sure he didn't force you?"
🐶What do you take me for?
"She is our precious girl. If you want her, approach properly with our permission, don't be sneaky, none of you," Mrs Kim glared before walking away with the other two.

🐶Wait did my mom just agree to our relationship? Ooh, I'm safe you guys.
He talked to himself with a proud grin but the expression changed
🐶But I have to teach that uncultured hag a lesson,
🦖Leave it hyung. Let's not test our luck.

.

You were forcefully taken to the boys' apartment much to your resistance. Mrs Kim and Mrs Yoon made it clear that if something were to happen to you, they would bury their sons six feet under alive. Mingyu pushed you inside the bathroom for a shower with a pair of fresh clothes. You stayed longer under the shower crying yourself out.
🦖Mickey, you are going to catch a cold. Come out,
You dragged yourself out against your will and found the boys gathered in the living room with serious faces.
🍒We need to talk
He said spotting you near the couch and you nodded before sitting down.

🐸Why were you avoiding us?
Hao broke the silence, yet his voice was calm.
👶 It's nothing serious. I was being stupid, I'm sorry.
You avoided eye contact with him fiddling with your fingers,
😇Baby, I'll be honest with you. It's going to be 4 years soon, and we have known each other even before that. Then why are you still hesitating when it comes to talking with us? Why can't you be honest, just like you have been with strangers?
👶I hate it when you guys think I'm weak,
⚔️Love there is nothing wrong with being weak
👶I don't want to be weak. I have been weak always and I'm afraid to get hurt,
🦊Do you still doubt our relationship?
👶NO. That's not what I meant...
⚔️Then what is it love? Talk to us,

...
...

Joshua sighed in frustration as he walked out of the room. You looked up but put your head down again not knowing what to say. Joshua came back and sat down before pulling you onto his lap.
🦌Now talk!
You turned to him in surprise as the eldest two smiled cheekily.
👶 I'm sorry, I just... It may sound stupid, but
🦊Baby nothing about you is stupid. If it is bothering you, we will never laugh it off...
👶You guys are so lovely and you are making me feel stupid and worthless...
You started to cry in Shua's embrace as he hugged you tightly.
👶It is true what she said, I'm mentally unstable... I love 13 men and I'm in a relationship with you all. I'm not fair neither am I slim nor beautiful. I don't deserve you all,
Even though you were crying, your words were pretty clear and boys heard it crystal clear.
👶Whenever I go out with you, people always stare at us. They all look at me with disgust, wherever I go I'm constantly reminded how worthless am I. No matter how much I try I can't get it out of my head, I'm sorry, but I always feel insecure... I know I'm not perfect but, it's just too much for me. It's overwhelming for me...

You cried hugging your knees and burying your face. No one said anything, actually they didn't know how to. Seungkwan stood up and walked closer. He took you from Joshua and you clung to him like a koala. He carried you inside the room and put you down as he too lay down. You snuggled closer to his chest sobbing continuously. You felt a lot calmer in his embrace as it's been two months since you hugged him this close.
👶I missed you
You mumbled between the sobs making him smile at you,
🍊You missed me?
You nodded and he held your chin to make you look up at him,
🍊I missed you too, a lot!
👶You did?
He chuckled as a teardrop fell as you blinked,
🍊Of course I did... And do you know a secret?
You looked at him with doe eyes
🍊I love you
He said placing a kiss on your forehead as you smiled through the tears
👶I love you
He caressed your hair as he hummed

🍊Hush, little baby don't you cry
Hush, little baby don't say a word
Kwannie's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mocking bird don't sing
Kwannie's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring is brass
Kwannie's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke
Kwannie's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat doesn't pull
Kwannie's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over
Kwannie's gonna buy you a dog called Rover

And if that dog called Rover doesn't bark
Kwannie's gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart turn round
You'll still be the sweetest little babe in town
Still, be the sweetest little babe in town
Hush, little baby don't you cry...

The boys stood by the door frame watching her drifting off to sleep in Seungkwan's embrace.
