Jeonghan never thought he'd feel so alone without Joshua, but the truth is, he no longer feels at home at Seventeen without his best friend, it's as if a part of him has disappeared, he clearly doesn't want to be there anymore and everyone has noticed it, Jeonghan has really become a shadow of his former self since Joshua left, and yet it's all his fault too. Indeed, it's because of him that Joshua left a few days ago ; if he hadn't argued with him, none of this would have happened.
At the moment, he's sitting on his bed and looking out of his bedroom window, his mind thinking only of Joshua and nobody else, clearly wanting to know what his friend is doing, with whom, whether he's happy or not, whether he's eating well, hydrating well, sleeping well. He keeps going over his argument with his friend, and he feels awful for having been so mean to Joshua when he wasn't doing anything wrong.
He was just in Chan's arms, that's all. Jeonghan is used to seeing Joshua's close, tactile with all the members, especially Seokmin, for example, and he's never said anything, but this time he doesn't even know why a wave of jealousy swept over him and exploded, He was on his bed, and in the bed opposite him were Chan and Joshua, the two of them having fun and laughing together, talking about anything and everything and sometimes keeping their voices low, a sign that they didn't want Jeonghan to hear what they were saying. How could you not go berserk at the sight of something like that ?
Since that day, Chan has stayed away from Jeonghan, never speaking to him, whereas Dino isn't usually the type to do that. Even if he's disappointed in one of his elders, he never stays against him for very long, but this time it's clearly different, and you can feel it, There's a kind of electricity in the air when they're in the same room, and it makes Jeonghan really sad. He knows that by hurting Joshua, he's hurt Chan too, and it was really the last thing he wanted to do to hurt the baby of the group.
Just as he's about to get up, the door to his room opens on Seungcheol, the leader's probably the most worried member of all, obviously he's the oldest and a bit the dad of the group, so to see that his group is scattering and that some members seem to hate each other when it wasn't meant to be that way really doesn't suit him, and above all it hurts his heart enormously, S.Coups gently comes to sit beside Jeonghan on the bed.
The blond looks at his elder and says he feels bad, and horribly alone. Seungcheol tells his friend that he's not alone, he's here, and he'll always be here, just asking a question that's on his mind : why did Jeonghan react the way he did that day ? Jeonghan doesn't know what to say except that he felt left out by Dino and Joshua that day. Seungcheol sighs and finally asks if Jeonghan's misplaced jealousy is justified by the fact that he has feelings for the American.
The blond man understands this and swallows, refusing to admit that he has feelings for Joshua, but as Seungcheol pushes him a little to admit things, he ends up saying so, small tears rolling down his cheeks and he apologizes because it'll probably ruin the group's image if it gets out, the leader chuckles and tells his friend that he's attracted to the guys himself, and to one man in particular who's part of their group too.
Jeonghan is shocked, he asks Seungcheol who he's attracted to and the leader chuckles and doesn't answer, but he does say that Joshua is waiting for him in the garden behind the agency, out of sight, the young American is ready to have a clear-cut discussion with Jeonghan and in any case to set things straight between them, it's something that's really necessary.
Jeonghan thanks Seungcheol and leaves his room with a slight smile, he doesn't waste a single second and goes straight to the agency's garden and indeed Joshua is there, the leader hadn't lied to him, the American really is there in a magnificent outfit, he's more breathtaking than ever, at least in Jeonghan's eyes, after all Joshua is still unreal in the boy's eyes.
Gently, Joshua sees Jeonghan approaching him, his steps slow but Jeonghan can read a certain determination in the American's eyes, once the younger man gets close to him, all his emotions mix and he only wants to take the American in his arms, so that's what he does, a solitary tear rolls down his left cheek, he calms down completely when he feels Joshua's arms come around his body.
Frankly, he never thought he'd miss Joshua so much, but now that he's got him in his arms, he realizes how much he missed the American, and above all how stupid he'd been that day. Without letting Joshua out of his arms, the boy explains himself - well, first of all, he apologizes for his bad behavior and explains why he was so angry that day.
Joshua says nothing and lets him talk until the end, and when his speech ends he smiles, he pulls Jeonghan slightly away from him and instead of leaving his hands on his elder's back he places them on both Jeonghan's cheeks and brings his face close to the older man's, Jeonghan starts to blush, the younger man's warm breath hitting against his lips, making his heart beat much faster than normal.
Joshua sighed against his lips the truth, he too had always been attracted to Jeonghan in that way, he'd never seen him as a friend and Chan knew it and kept bugging Joshua to go and talk to Jeonghan, nevertheless he never really had the courage so that famous day, Dino told his eldest that if he was going to confess his feelings to Jeonghan he's was going to confess his attraction to his crush himself, nevertheless the hours passed and Joshua did nothing so Chan teased him.
That's all.
Jeonghan felt horribly stupid, he was about to retort something, but Joshua stopped him, he finally placed his lips on the blond's, that long-awaited kiss on both sides was finally there and it was directly ignited, Joshua's tongue teased Jeonghan's lower lip but the elder did nothing, so the American moved his hands down his elder's body and pinched his elder's belly ever so slightly.
Jeonghan has never felt his cheeks as hot as they are right now, he feels as if his heart wants to leave his ribcage, and he also feels as if he's in a dream, he can't even believe that his best friend, crush, is kissing him on the lips in such a supportive and eager way.
After a few minutes of breathlessness, the two men are forced to step back from each other, and Joshua says against Jeonghan's lips that he's not alone and that he'll never make him feel that way again. He asks Jeonghan if he'll be his boyfriend, and of course Jeonghan accepts.
The American lets go of Jeonghan completely, just taking one hand and intertwining his fingers with the boy's, then the two men return to the agency, on the sofa in the room they quickly see Seungcheol and Chan, and with a simple glance the maknae and the leader understand everything. Joshua tells the younger man that what they said to each other that day is still true, and to this Chan simply rolls his eyes, turns to Seungcheol and kisses him on the lips. When Chan steps back, Jeonghan tells Seungcheol that it was Dino he was talking about a few hours ago, and the leader simply nods and confirms in a shy voice that he is indeed in a relationship with Chan and deeply in love with him.
Two beautiful couples now shine in Seventeen.
