Today, as usual, the Seventeen members continued practicing choreography even without upcoming performance schedules. For hours, they rehearsed every movement meticulously, focusing on vocal endurance and timing.

And, if their manager didn't arrive bearing boxes of food and two large jumbo-sized red velvet cakes, they might have forgotten about lunch altogether.

One hour later, after the break, they resumed their practice, aiming to achieve their target of practicing for eight hours a day and finishing before evening.

But something was off...

Jisoo, who usually executed every move perfectly, now made mistakes. Late timing, unnecessary moves, and trembling vocals during his part – initially considered a joke, but as time passed, his errors increased, causing frustration, especially for Seungcheol.

He abruptly stopped dancing, heading to the boombox connected to a laptop in the corner of the practice room. With a rough gesture, he turned off the black electronic device and walked back to Jisoo, who sat exhausted on the floor.

Furrowing his brow, Seungcheol observed his usually energetic companion, irritation overshadowing his concern.

"Jisoo-ya! Can you get it together?! Seriously, we're wasting time if you keep making mistakes!" Seungcheol expressed the thoughts of the others.

"Sorry... But it's so itchy... I can't stand it," mumbled Jisoo amidst a weak smile.

"What the...?! Jisoo-ya, your skin is so red! Is your allergy acting up? What did you eat?" Jeonghan exclaimed, alarmed by the spreading red rashes on Jisoo's skin.

"It's nothing weird... I ate what you all ate," Jisoo bit his lip, resisting the urge to scratch his itchy skin all over.

"Sol-ah, check the leftover food," Seungcheol instructed.

"No need, hyung. I know what triggered Jisoo-hyung's allergy," Mingyu interjected.

In his hand, Mingyu held a piece of red velvet cake leftover from their lunch dessert. The tempting red cake had layers of cream with enticing strawberry pieces inside. He sniffed the piece, wrinkling his face upon detecting a faint aroma of strawberries.

It seemed the red fruits had been soaked in sherry-flavored rum before being used as custard filling.

Consuming rum, often used in cake recipes to enhance flavor, wouldn't be an issue for an average person. However, for Jisoo, even a small amount of alcohol could be fatally allergic, similar to Wonwoo's seafood intolerance. Hence, every time they ordered food, they double-checked to ensure the safety of these two members.

"What?"

"Red velvet cake. It seems our manager forgot to order one without rum," Mingyu explained as he placed the sniffed cake back."

"Goodness... Jisoo-ya, why did you eat the cake? Didn't you notice the difference in taste?" Seungcheol asked in disbelief.

"I thought the cake was safe, our manager bought it. So, I didn't think about it..." Jisoo explained softly, his itching sensation worsening.

"Ugh... Do you have the medication?" Seungcheol went to Jisoo's duffle bag.

"I always carry it, but..." Jisoo left his sentence hanging. "Hannie, it's itching... Let me scratch it..."

"No! If you scratch once, it won't stop!" Jeonghan tightly held Jisoo's hands.

"Itchyyy... so itchy... sniff..." Jisoo whined eventually.

"Chan!"

"Okay, hyung!"

Without a second command, Chan hurried to the cafeteria on the third floor to find a banana.

Why a banana?

Well, Jisoo may be an adult, able to swallow any pill with a glass of water, except for that cursed allergy medication. The tablet, although effective, was twice the size of a normal one and tasted extremely bitter. Even after swallowing, the throat would still feel bitter, causing nausea for half an hour. That's why Jisoo usually crushed it and hid it in a banana peel, like a baby. Otherwise, he would vomit it back within minutes.

A while later, Chan returned empty-handed. According to the cafeteria aunt, they didn't have any yellow fruits today.

The Seventeen members exchanged puzzled looks, while Jisoo was on the verge of tears due to the intense itching. His face was reddening, a mix of holding back tears and the rash spreading to his chin.

Seeing the worsening situation, an extreme idea crossed Seungcheol's mind. An idea that, under normal circumstances, he would vehemently reject.

He swiftly grabbed a water bottle from Jisoo's duffle bag and tore a tablet from its strip. Skillfully dividing the medication into small portions, he placed them in his mouth and filled it with water. The bitter taste immediately spread on his tongue, helping him understand why Jisoo needed a banana to consume it.

Ignoring the astonished gazes of the other members, Seungcheol seized Jisoo's chin. The young man, with an angelic smile, was utterly defenseless as Seungcheol attacked his lips and forcefully opened his mouth with his tongue.

Within seconds, the medication that had been in Seungcheol's mouth found its way into Jisoo's, swallowed without a trace.

Seungcheol's task should have ended there. It should have. But feeling the sweetness and softness of his companion's lips, he couldn't resist going further.

The young man continued his emergency kiss, escalating it into a passionate one, devouring Jisoo's pink lips and delving further into the mouth, exploring teeth and tongues, producing a melodic moan that was truly stimulating. Unconsciously, Seungcheol's lower body began to tense slowly.

Jisoo, it turned out, was intoxicating.

One of Seungcheol's hands, initially replacing Jeonghan's to hold Jisoo's hand, now shifted to the sweet young man's nape. He gently pressed the back of his companion's head to deepen their kiss.

His other hand descended from Jisoo's chin to his unfortunate choice of wearing short training pants that day, allowing Seungcheol to easily caress the inner thighs of Jisoo.

Oh, not only were Jisoo's lips so soft, but his inner thighs were equally tender. Now, where was Seungcheol's mind wandering?

He was completely unaware that the two of them were still in the practice room with the other eleven Seventeen members.

The eleven pairs of eyes could only stare in shock at the unfolding scene.

The first to realize the danger of the situation if it continued was Wonwoo.

While some members, including Jeonghan, were left agape in astonishment, and others were trying to contain their reactions to the live steamy scene presented by the CheolSoo pair, Wonwoo's mind worked to find a way to stop the event that could result in the loss of Hong Jisoo's innocence.

An imaginary light bulb lit up above Wonwoo's head as he looked down. The emo-looking young man hastily removed his Converse shoes and mercilessly threw them at Seungcheol, who was engrossed in his feast on Jisoo.

This action was promptly followed by the other members.

"Seungcheol-hyung, you pervert!" Seungkwan screamed.

"You scoundrel! You're taking advantage of the situation!" Jihoon raged.

"No shame!" Seokmin shouted.

"Hey! What's this?! Why am I being attacked?!" Seungcheol panicked.

"Because you're a pervert!" All eleven members shouted simultaneously.

"Cheol-ah... That was... my first kiss," Jisoo whispered, his face still red, whether from his lingering allergy or the embarrassment of being kissed in public.

"Well, Cheol-ah~ I know you've liked Jisoo all this time~ But not like this~ Jisoo is still too innocent, unlike you~" Mama Jeonghan mode activated.

"You're dead, you perverted man!"

"GYAAA! ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME!"
