The Journey Of US || A Seventeen FF

63

🦌I missed you!
He shrieks as he picks you up off the ground.

👶I missed you too!!!
You smooch his forehead as he giggles happily

🍒😇Ehem,
You peek away from Joshua and find them both. Seungcheol was poking his inner cheeks with his tongue, hands tucked inside his pant pockets, staring at you. Jeonghan on the other hand keeps rolling his eyes as Joshua continues to tickle you earning giggles despite your gaze on the other two.

👶Looks like those two are not in a good mood!
You whisper to Joshua who turns around to look at his mates.

🦌Oh, they've been like that ever since we got here,
He puts you down and Eskimo kisses you.

👶Can't be helped?
You ask with a head tilt

🦌It can, but only by their girlfriend tho!
He pulls away and lightly pushes you to them.

👶Why are my babies angry?
You approach them slowly and they stare down intensely

🍒I'm not angry, just irritated

👶And why is that?

😇So you don't want to know about me?
Jeonghan interrupts followed by another eye roll

👶Are you sad, Princess?
He scoffs at the nickname and walks away and you are torn between whether to stay with Cheol or follow him.

You smile and turn to Cheol who looks at you expectantly. You tip-toed and wrapped your hands around him and Seungcheol hugged you back.

🍒I miss you, so damn much,
He mumbles with a tint of sadness
👶I miss you too, love.

🍒Then why are you avoiding us and refusing to hang out?

👶I am not avoiding you. I just wanted some time alone,

🍒Why do you want time alone?

👶Because I'm getting used to being alone when you guys enlist!
You put on a smiley face and he smiles despite the sad pout,

🍒They will keep you company,
He mumbles nudging you to Shua

👶Meh, but still I will miss my Cherry baby!
His pout disappears and he grins nuzzling against your cheek.

You peck him one last time before setting off to find the annoyed boyfriend who went on his way. Jeonghan was staring at the sea his hands anchored on the rail.

👶Enjoying the view?
He ignores your comment and refuses to look at you. Wrapping your hands around him you stand back hugging him. You duck your head and peek from behind through his side to take a look at him. Jeonghan conceals the grin as he sees you through the corner of his eyes. You tighten the hug and rub your face along his hand and he breaks into a smile.

👶Aigooya, Kawaii

😇Are these the only words you know in Korean and Japanese?

{Le Author👩🏽‍💻 - Yes Hannie, along with Annyeonghasaeyo, shibal, saekki, mwoya, ottokke, arigato, gumen, Onii Chan... Iykyk😜}

👶Did you just insult me in bilingual?
He sticks his tongue out and you push him out of your hands and Jeonghan groans as he is pressed against the rail. You turn to leave but he catches your wrist and mimics your pouty face. You whine aloud and the other two walk closer taking the queue.

Jeonghan smiles and he pulls you closer, throwing his hand around your shoulder, and turns to the sunset. Seungcheol and Joshua join either side of you and Jeonghan.

🦌You know when you both are gone, I'm gonna come here with her and have so much fun!
Joshua throws his cunning grin at the other two, it ticks them off, and just like that the fight breaks out.

"Hey baby," Appa greets as you enter the house,

👶Hi Appa,
You walk further in and find some of the parents in the living room.
👶Hi Appas and Eommas!
You perk up and some smile, some nod and some simply ignore.

"Where were you this late?" Your mom asks as she peeks at the clock behind

👶Office, where else would I be?
Appa glances at you and smiles to himself which goes unnoticed by the rest

"Mickey we want to talk to you about something," Mrs Lee (Seokmin) speaks up and you turn your attention to her,

"We think you should get married," She looks around for support and some nod

👶Yeah I will someday,
You reply and turn to leave

"We can't wait that long. You have to get married soon," Mrs Boo interrupts and you sigh turning around,

👶I will get married one day. But I'm not ready to take up such a responsibility now,
You calmly explain

"You are 24, Mickey. You are old enough to take on such responsibilities, some of us got married when we were younger than you," Mrs Choi persuades

👶Well, my mom got married at 27. So I have 3 years to go and I'm sure she is ok with it, aren't you, Mom?
You turn to her while she stays silent and avoids eye contact.

"This is not something to joke about Mickey. Kim Jongdae, my friend's son, we think he will be the perfect match for you. He is an aviation engineer in the government and is the only son. Well-educated and settled. You are an engineer and so is he, it's a perfect match," Mr Jeon states

{Sir, he has two kids and is happily married, I'm not a homewrecker!😎}

👶I am sorry, but I'm not getting married,

"Why not? You should get married to Jongdae,"

👶Why should I? There are still people in our family who haven't got married, unnies and oppas. But why are you pushing me to marriage?

"We think you need someone to rely on," Mr Choi shrugs, and you shake your head

👶No, don't worry about me. I'll be fine on my own,

"We are worried about our sons," Mrs Hong finally speaks her mind and you stare in amusement as she explains further. "I'm worried for my son, all of us are. They are sticking to you 24/7. Even if they come home, they are always with you or around you. They are not agreeing to get married. I don't want you to lead them on and more importantly, I don't want any of them heartbroken. I want you away from my son,"

👶For real, eomma?

"Yeah, for real. You are a grown woman and you should know how to act with men. You can't hang out and do whatever you want all the time,"

👶So your plan is to marry me off?

"Yes, you will be disciplined then. Your husband will put you in your limits," Mrs Jeon shrugs while you snort and keep quiet,

👶You really think a man can put me in my limits? Times have changed, Eomma. I'm on my own and most importantly I don't need a man to tell me how to conduct myself,

"We think it's for the best, YNie." Mrs Xu mumbles

"That way boys will also get their act together,"

👶Well then, let me speak for myself. I am not going to get married just because you guys want me to and as for the other thing, I've known the boys my entire life, I just can't act like we are strangers. But I will keep my distance, you should tell your boys to do the same, don't put the entire blame on me,

"The nerve you have," Mrs Hong scoffs

👶Come on Eomma, how is it my fault that the boys are hanging out with me? We have known each other our entire lives, you can't simply ignore that,

"We understand that Mickey, but all Mom is saying is why don't you keep that in mind the next time when they approach you," Mr Hong softly smiles and you nod with a sigh.

👶Fine,

"Now was it so hard? Behave like a woman YN, you are not a kid anymore," Mrs Lee shrugs and you walk out of the living room.
