23- cherish

To say Seungcheol had family issues was a understatement. He would go from family gatherings to meetings at the age of fifteen. His parents had already planned his whole life before he came out of his mothers womb. It was like that was his only time of peace and quiet as the moment he popped out he was showered with expensive gifts — gifts that should be given to adults. He was getting used for business purposes.

He felt people thought if they gave him good gifts they would be in his parents good books when no one was in their good books. Not even him.

He grew up in the 'perfect family' with people telling him left and right that he was extremely lucky and they would die for his life when he would die for their life. He would rather be living on the streets with a loving family than put up an act that broke his heart.

He could bare all of it as he grew up like that, but that doesn't mean he can't envy. He envied every happy family he saw. He wished for his family to be like that, to cherish him, to love him and to care for him.

He wished for it and he got it.

They may not be his biological family but the friends he made were like family to him. From boyfriend to brothers he could rely on. They had their ups and downs but that's what made his family a family. A loving boyfriend like Jeonghan, best friend like Jisoo and brothers like the rest of them.

They were the best family he could wish for. It's the only family he wanted.

Jihoon woke up to the sound of his alarm.

"Turn it off Jihoon, the others are sleeping." The women who owned the orphanage that Jihoon lived in whispered.

Jihoon's parents had left him there the moment they figured out he was gay — that was when he was five. How they found out when he figured it out when he was sixteen he would never know but he was glad. He didn't want to come out to them and then get kicked out.

He had met his family again when he was fifteen. He was coming back from school when he saw his parents — and a child with them. He figured they had one after dropping him off but seeing them in real life made him realise that he wasn't accepted.

No one adopted him, he stayed in the orphanage until he couldn't. He had moved into a apartment in Seoul. It was nice as he made good money making songs for big artists in the west.

His friends stuck with him and after the incident with Wonwoo, he realised what he did wrong. He came at Wonwoo for the anger directed at his parents and the world. It was something he didn't know how to fix.

But he would fix it, even if it meant do everything. He cherished his friendship so he would do anything.

Y'all two backstories and agent Jeon is taking a while as I really can't put my ideas into words so I have a different story that will hopefully be up by February and most likely a two-shot. Idrk
