our ode to you | seventeen x reader

{7}

I woke up in my bed the following morning, feeling surprisingly well-rested. Confused, I tried to remember how I had gotten here, but my thoughts were hazy. I shrugged it off and went downstairs to the smell of a freshly cooked breakfast, consisting of pancakes, eggs, and toast.

The members were gathered in the kitchen, preparing the delicious meal. Hoshi noticed me and grinned. "Good morning, Y/N! Sleep well?" he asked.

I nodded, still feeling a bit tired. "Yeah, thanks. By the way, who put me to bed last night? I don't remember getting here."

The room fell into a brief silence, and I could see exchanged glances among the members. Scoups, with a subtle smirk, spoke up, "Oh, just one of us making sure you got some good sleep. No big deal."

I furrowed my brows, and my curiosity grew. "Well, thanks, I guess. It's a mystery, then."

We had classes to go to, so the routine of university continued. I ate quickly, grabbing my backpack and joining the others as we headed to campus. There was plenty of nervous energy and excitement at the university. We moved through the crowd of people to our classes. But, I kept having this feeling that something wasn't right, I shook it off, though.

In the hallway, I overheard snippets of conversations that made my heart sink. Whispers of rumors and gossip reached my ears, and it appeared that I was made out to be some kind of villain. I know exactly who did this. Jade.

As me and Dino entered the classroom, the air seemed full of tension. Some students exchanged curious glances, and I felt the weight of judgmental stares. News had spread, and I was suddenly at the center of attention.

The teacher entered the room, not knowing anything of course. I took my seat, trying to focus on the lecture, but this uneasy feeling lingered. The classmates I had once considered acquaintances now looked at me with both curiosity and judgment.

Dino noticed my sour expression and looked at me with concern in his eyes. "Y/N, are you okay? I heard people talking but just you should just ignore them. We all know it's not true."

I appreciated his concern but couldn't shake the discomfort of being the topic of all these rumors. "I'm fine, Dino. It's just... I guess she really won't get over it." 

Dino frowned. "People can be so quick to judge without knowing the full story. Don't let it bother you too much. We're here for you."

You may be wondering what these said rumors are. To be honest, I've only heard a few, but I am sure there's more.

As I was walking the halls after class, I heard someone say: "Have you heard? Y/N and Minghao have been spending a lot of time together lately. I thought she kissed Mingyu though, what a h*e."

Then I heard someone else say: "There's this girl, Y/N, who joined our school recently. Word is she's here with some hidden agenda. Maybe she's trying to ruin someone's life or steal someone's boyfriend..."

Suddenly I felt my eyes get heavy. I started running through the halls, leaving Dino behind to run after me. I came to a stop outside, and two people were talking on a bench.

"Y/N is just putting on an act. She's pretending to be all sweet and innocent, but in reality, she's a master manipulator. Watch out for her, she's playing a game.." Jade was talking to some guy. I suddenly got so angry. 

I stormed over there, and to my surprise, she was talking to Mingyu. I couldn't believe my eyes. Dino finally caught up with me, out of breath.

"Y/n, What's wr--" he stopped in his tracks, witnessing the scene.
