Joshua X Seventeen

Dating Rumours Pt2

The next day, Joshua was woken up by Jeonghan and S.coups literally screaming in his face.

"Ugh, what happened?" Joshua groaned as his muscles ached from the practice yesterday. 

"Shua, what happened to all your posts on instagram?!" S.coups yelled shoving his phone into Joshua's face.

"Oh...I deleted them." Joshua hesitated before answering his boyfriend.

"Why?" Jeonghan asked, although he already knew why he still wanted to ask. "Nothing, just didn't like them." 

"Alright then, today we have a free day, should three of us go somewhere?" S.coups asked changing the topic as Joshua looked uncomfortable.

"You two should hang out with the others too, I don't want you guys to stop talking just because of me." Joshua said feeling guilty, realising that Jeonghan and S.coups and the members have not talked since they argued.

"Its fine, they are all resting at home to 'prepare' for tomorrow concert." Jeonghan said.

"I think I should go to the practice room to practice again, I still have not corrected it yet." Joshua said, standing up.

"Shuji, don't overwork yourself okay? We will talk to the members about you and tell them tos top ignoring you." 

"No, Hannie. If they want to forgive me, they will so please don't force them plus not everyone is that mad at me. Junnie, Wonu, Dk, Mingyu and Vernon aren't that mad plus I still have you guys."

"Of course you have us, you can go practice but come back after lunch." S.coups told Joshua.

Joshua nodded and went to get ready. He had to take the car because the company said that there might still be protesters there loitering around. He also had a personal guard as the rumours spiked yesterday after the protest trucks were sent.

At the dance room, he tried to correct the move and finally corrected it after a while. He played the songs that were going to be played the next day at the concert. 

Joshua practiced without a break and refused to listen to his body, begging him to stop dancing and immediately regretted it as he collasped onto the floor, trying to catch his breath.

He panted and laid on the floor until he saw the big clock that said 3pm. He immediately got up and grabbed his bag.

He didn't care if he was sticky and sweaty and immediately jumped into the van begging the driver to rush to the dorms.

He tried to on his phone but he realised he slept with it yesterday and forgot to charge it so it was 'dead'.

When he reached, he dashed up the stairs and literally looked like a zombie as he was panting, sticky, sweaty and he looked pale after overworking himself. 

He slowly got into the dorms, hoping that all his boyfriends would be in a room, talking and forgot about the time. But as usual, things did not go his way.

"Hong Jisoo!" S.coups shouted when Joshua was slowly tipping toes on his way to his room and imediately froze with dread.

He slowly turned around to not see only two but all 12 of his boyfriends, standing there. He awkardly said 'yes?'

"What time did we say to be back?" Jeonghan asked.

"After lunch?" Joshua said, realising that he technically hasn't ate lunch yet and decided to use it as an excuse.

"Well, I haven't ate lunch yet so I technically came back early." He said with a cheeky smile on his face.

"Hyung, why didn't you eat?" Hansol asked, his voice sounded so worried and he looked so cute that Joshua melted.

"Sorry, I totally lost track of time while dancing." Joshua apologised, looking at Hoshi to see if he would say that he relates to that but all he got was a cold gaze and he gave up.

"Its okay but next time set an alarm to remind yourself" S.coups said.

"Hyung, go and shower first, I will prepare something for you to eat." Mingyu said, walking to the kitchen, looking proudly at the poster he made that said, 'No one but Kim Mingyu allowed in this kitchen.'

Joshua felt glad that some of them are starting to talk to him again while Hoshi, Woozi and Seungkwan still seemed angry.

Time skip: The next day

The dorm was a mess as everyone scrambled around, trying to find their stuff to prepare for the concert.

They all woke up late at 10am and panicked as they had to go to the stadium which was quite far away from the dorms and practice a few times before the concert.

"Sollie, hurry up!" Mingyu shouted as Vernon just got up around five minutes ago and was finding his things.

Time skip again: During the concert 

Joshua was thankful that the company still allowed him to perform despite all the death notes and hate comments. 

During the ending ment, everyone was shocked to see Joshua crying while giving his speech. Mingyu who was beside him, comforted him but Joshua couldn't finish his speech and he got angry at himself for being so weak at the hate.

He always thought being an idol meant being loved and getting hate so he didn't know why he was crying. Mingyu finished his speech and helped Joshua dabbed the tears away from his face.

After the concert, all the members were in the waiting room, most of them were comforting Joshua and he only felt worse as he felt guilty that they felt bad for him.

"Shua hyung...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have trusted those rumours and photos of you." Hoshi apologised and bowed while Woozi and Seungkwan also apologised.

"Please don't bow, its alright, I should have known that there would be dating rumours with the namount of posts I was uploading." Joshua chuckled as he said that.

"No hyung, we were acting stupid and we were jealous." Woozi said.

"Okay okay, you guys stop, lets just go back to normal and Shua, stop looking at those comments or I swear I'll hide your phone somewhere." S.coups scolded Joshua again for looking at hate comments.
