SEVENTEEN | SICKFICS - HURTFICS I

Joshua | Fever Part I

Hello candy_244! Here is your request, I hope you'll like it!

It was 11 PM in the dorm of Seventeen, and chaos reigned supreme as the members scrambled to follow Seungcheol's strict orders. Their leader, always mindful of keeping the team organized, had emphasized the importance of packing efficiently for their world tour. Yet, in true Seventeen fashion, things weren't going as smoothly as planned.

Seungcheol stood in the middle of the common area, arms crossed, surveying the mess around him. "Guys," he said, raising his voice above the sound of rustling bags and playful bickering, "I told you all to start packing an hour ago! Why does it look like no one listened to me?"

Joshua, sitting cross-legged on the floor with a half-packed suitcase, chuckled. "Hyung, we listened. It's just... packing is hard when Dino keeps stealing everyone's socks."

"Hyung!" Dino yelled from across the room, clutching a bundle of mismatched socks. "They were in the common laundry basket! How was I supposed to know whose socks are whose?"

"They're all mismatched," Jeonghan said dryly, leaning against the couch with an unamused expression. "At least have the decency to pair them properly if you're going to steal them."

Mingyu, who was struggling to zip his oversized suitcase, let out an exasperated groan. "Why do I have so much stuff? I swear I packed light this time!"

"Light?!" Wonwoo glanced up from his neatly packed carry-on and raised an eyebrow. "Min, I saw you packing three different kinds of cologne and a blender."

"It's not a blender hyung!" Mingyu defended himself. "It's a portable smoothie maker! We need it for snacks on the road."

Seungcheol sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Mingyu, we don't need a smoothie maker on a world tour. Take it out."

Hoshi, perched on the couch with an empty suitcase beside him, raised a hand dramatically. "Excuse me, can we talk about something more important? Like how I can't find my tiger-print hoodie anywhere? It's my emotional support hoodie. I need it."

"Isn't it under your bed?" Woozi asked without looking up from his laptop, which he was still packing last-minute files into. "You always leave it there."

Hoshi gasped and dashed off to his room.

"I'm scared to ask this," Seungkwan interjected, his voice tinged with worry, "but does everyone have their passports ready? I'm not about to deal with another 'Mingyu incident' like last time."

Mingyu, shot him a look. "That was one time, and it wasn't my fault. DK took it."

DK smirked, feigning innocence. "I kept it safe. It was just... creatively hidden."

Vernon, lying sprawled out on the floor with his earbuds in, pulled one out and mumbled, "Does it really matter if we forget stuff? We can just buy things when we land."

"That's not the point!" Seungcheol barked, throwing his hands up in frustration. "We're not wasting money buying things we already have. Just focus on packing!"

Jun, sitting serenely in a corner and methodically arranging his travel-sized toiletries, chimed in. "You know, this would go faster if everyone just followed my system. Roll your clothes instead of folding them. Saves space."

"Who has time for systems?" DK cried dramatically, holding up two nearly identical pairs of shoes. "How am I supposed to choose between these? They both go with my stage outfits!"

"Leave both," Woozi muttered, shutting his laptop. "You'll probably end up wearing sneakers the entire time anyway."

Seungcheol clapped his hands, trying to regain control of the room. "Alright, listen up! I want everyone packed and ready in the next thirty minutes, or I'm confiscating Dino's socks and banning smoothie makers for life."
