Sunny: A Seventeen Story

'Unnie!' Yunjin yelled through the phone with a mouth full of food.

'Nice to see you acting so lady like,'

Yunjin stuffed in another mouthful and tilted her camera down to her plate, 'But Bossam!'

'Ooooh, I wonder if that's what we're having tonight,'

'We? Who's we?' Gulping down her food Yunjin in record speed, 'Is my Sunny finally going on a date!?'

'What? No! Seungkwan invited me around to have dinner with the mafia at Mingyu and Wonwoo's place. I have no idea what we're having though!'

'Mingyu's ay?'

'I can hear your smirk from here Jen,'

'Yah, don't roll your eyes Unnie,'

Sunny chuckled, 'Stop getting ideas,'

'What? You're the same age, you're besties and he's totally husband material, I've seen the reels,'

'Even if it was the slightest, even a remote reality that Mingyu would even see me like that or ever consider me more than a friend, he's an idol and could have any girl he wanted, they all fall at his feet. I don't even compare.'

'Yah! Sunny, what are you talking about!? You are so beautiful, inside and out. Anyone would be so lucky to have you by their side!'

Sunny blushed, she may be headstrong and stubborn, but underneath it all, she always doubted her looks and abilities.

'Childhood has a lot to answer for,'

'Yes it does,'

'If I could I'd smack my way through anybody who tells you any different!'

'Mmmmm,' Sunny's mind had begun to swirl with memories flashing through times best forgotten, yeah, therapy has helped but when your own mind is your own worst enemy. It's always easier said than done, and some days are easier than others.

'I can see we're going to need a sleepover and knock some sense into you, again,'

'Knock some sense into who?' Sunny heard a door open and a second voice in the background.

'Sunny-unnie, we need to show her how beautiful and amazing she is...again!'

'Unnie!! Do I need to waterboard you with strawberry milk again?' Eunchae forced her way onto the phone screen.

'Not again! I could taste it for days, I had strawberry milk in places where strawberry milk should not go,' Sunny shivered at the memory.

'Ewww, we need to make her believe that she's beautiful, funny, amazing, talented and anyone would be lucky to be with her,'

'After our next schedule Unnie, when we're back from Japan!' The maknae narrowed her eyes and pointed through the screen.

'I'm sure we can work something out,' she smiled. Standing the phone up on the desk and stepping back, Sunny had only one more question, 'Red or Black?'

Arriving at Mingyu and Wonwoo's level, Sunny quickly checked herself over, she had opted for a comfy red plaid skirt, and safety shorts along with a white shirt and red fluffy cardigan with black and white buttons, with black boots. Although she never needed to dress up, it felt good making an effort, and to get out of her dance gear once in a while.

Her phone rang and after juggling the soju she was holding, she managed to get to it, she could see Seungkwan was calling.

'Hello?'
