Perfect Time | Seventeen Joshua Fanfiction

26

"Is everyone here?", Seungkwan questioned as soon as he went near them.

"Wonwoo is not here.", Jeonghan said.

"Ohh, there he is...", Hoshi spoke as he waved his hands towards Wonwoo and the other guy who was walking alongside him.

"Woah! How tall he is! Who is this guy?", you whispered to Chan after subtly nudging him.

"I don't know. And don't mention his height.", he whispered back.

"He is Mingyu, Wonwoo's childhood friend.", Jeonghan, who was standing right behind you, startled you with his reply.

"You heard us?", you asked.

"Of course, I heard. You are standing just in front of me. And, I didn't overhear. You were loud enough.", he answered.

"He's also coming on the trip with us.", he added.

"Hi everyone. It's great to finally meet all of you.", Mingyu greeted.

"We are glad that you joined us", Joshua went and hugged him.

They all talked with each other and shared hugs.

"Since when have you been friends? You haven't mentioned him at all.", you asked Dokyeom.

"Wonwoo introduced him to us and we have been friends for about a year now. But this is our first meet.", he replied.

"Hey, who is this little girl?", Mingyu asked, looking down at you.

"I'm not little. You are too tall.", you answered back.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.", he apologized with a puppy face.

"No problem", you replied with a subtle smile. You didn't expect that he would apologise for this petty issue. None of the other fellows around you would do that. They would just laugh that off.

"Ohh, I forgot to introduce you to each other. Mingyu, this is Y/N, Dokyeom's sister. This is Lee Chan, Y/N's best friend.", Wonwoo said pointing at me and Chan respectively.

"This is Mingyu, my best friend since we were in primary school.", he added.

"Hello. Nice to meet you.", you greeted him.

"Nice to meet you too.", he replied.

You were still waiting for that one person to show up, despite everything else going on around you. Choi Seungcheol.

"Shall we move?", Seungkwan asked everyone in common.

"Yes", Dokyeom replied and lifted the bags.

"Wait. Seungcheol oppa is not here yet.", you said glancing at the entrance.

"He is not coming as he got stuck with some work. Didn't they tell you?", Hoshi said and looked at Seungkwan and Dokyeom.

"Ohh! I forgot.", Dokyeom said casually.

"It's okay, it's not a huge deal.", Seungkwan shrugged. "Let's go now...", he said cheerfully, pointing ahead.

"Not a huge deal?
It's not the case with me.
However, worrying about that right now is pointless.
Y/N-ahh... just enjoy the whole experience.
Having fun is your main objective.", you said to yourself in your head.

[...]

"Hey, what's up with your silence?", Chan asked you.

"Nothing. I'm fine.", you replied, bringing a smile to your face.

"Come on. I know everything. You are upset, aren't you?"

"Me? Upset?? NOT AT ALL. Why should I be?"

"It's obvious. Absence of Seungcheol hyung is making your heart ache...".
He kept his hand on his left chest and acted as if he was in pain.

"Yahhh... Shut up! What if someone hears you?", you said as you closed his mouth with your hand.

"See... I am right.", he said as he pushed your hands away and started laughing.

"NO! I'm just saying that anyone can misunderstand your words."

"Hmm... I don't think that's the case.", he said while rubbing his jawline. His lips curved into a teasing smile.

You started speaking after taking a deep breath. "I must admit that I'm a little down. It does not, however, imply that you can fabricate tales.", you said and turned your face away from him.

"Does that mean you miss him?", he asked, closely watching your expressions.

"I'm not going to answer your stupid questions anymore."

You reclined on the flight seat and closed your eyes.

"What an impolite girl! Sleep all you want but you cannot escape from me.", he warned.

You only laid down so you could avoid answering his questions. But you quickly fell asleep.
