SEVENTEEN | SICKFICS - HURTFICS I

Hoshi | Drugged

Hello L33_jae! I am sorry if I made you wait, but I hope you'll like this!

The lights faded, and the deafening roar of the crowd slowly quieted to the sound of excitement as Seventeen made their way backstage, adrenaline still coursing through their veins. They were drenched in sweat, exhilarated from the energy of the concert.

"Did you see the way they sang along to 'Don't Wanna Cry'?" Joshua beamed, wiping his forehead with a towel.

"Of course! They knew every word!" Jeonghan laughed, leaning against the wall. "I almost forgot to sing because I was just listening to them."

"Next time, we should let them sing the whole song," Woozi suggested with a smirk, adjusting his cap. "Just step back and enjoy the show."

"I can see it now-'Seventeen takes a break, fans take the spotlight,'" Mingyu chimed in, pretending to hold a microphone, mimicking a concert announcer.

"Maybe we should do that for our encore next time," Hoshi said, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Just let them take the stage."

"Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen," Vernon chuckled, grabbing a bottle of water. "Can you imagine the chaos?"

"Or the talent! Some of those fans are incredible," DK added, stretching his arms above his head. "I wouldn't mind watching them perform."

"Hey, we could even invite some of them to join us for a special stage," Seungkwan suggested, excitement bubbling in his voice. "Imagine the fan videos that would go viral!"

"Just think of the logistics, though," Minghao chimed in, a serious look on his face. "We'd need to prepare a lot. And what if someone forgets the choreography?"

"Or if they start freestyling!" Joshua added, laughing. "It would definitely be something no one could forget."

"Speaking of forgetting, did you see how I messed up during 'Left & Right'?" Woozi admitted, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "I thought I was going to trip over my own feet."

"Come on, it just made you look more human!" Jeonghan teased. "You're not a robot, after all."

"Yet," Woozi shot back with a grin. "I'm working on it."

"Next time, just pretend it's part of the choreography," Hoshi suggested with a playful wink. "That's how you own it!"

"Now I'm just imagining you doing a little robot dance in the middle of a serious part hyung," Seungkwan laughed. "You'd steal the show."

"Maybe I should add it to my solo part," Woozi mused, tapping his chin thoughtfully.

"Whatever happens, tonight was legendary," DK said, his expression serious for a moment. "The crowd was insane, and the energy was just perfect."

"Yeah," Mingyu agreed, a warm smile spreading across his face. "It felt like we were all connected. Like one huge family."

As they continued to chat, the sound of laughter and playful banter filled the backstage area. As the members began to change out of their stage outfits, the atmosphere shifted to a more relaxed vibe. Hoshi rummaged through his bag, frowning as he realized he had run out of water.

"Ugh, I'm so thirsty!" he exclaimed, looking around. "Where's the water?"

Just then, a new staff member walked in, holding out a bottle. "Here you go! I just got these for everyone," she said with a friendly smile.

Hoshi's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, hey! Are you new here?"

"Yeah, I just started today," she replied, her tone light and cheerful. "I'm really excited to be part of the team."
