Seventeen Imagines

S.Coups: notice me (pt. 1)

Your younger brothers' best friend is practically part of the family since your parents have known his for what seems like forever. You're the eldest child out of four kids, with triplet brothers just two years younger than you. Which made it easy for you to just consider Seungcheol like a brother, because what's one more going to change, right?

At least that wasn't a problem for you or Seungcheol until after he and your brothers entered University. By that point your usual constant disregard for Seungcheol began to bother him. He was frustrated that even after entering the same university as you you still looked at him with the same level of annoyance that you have for your brothers. Never once have you looked at Seungcheol as a man.

Seungcheol teased and pissed you off a lot growing up. He knew all your buttons to press and did it regularly, worse than your actual brothers ever did. Even after entering University, since you're continuing to live with your family until you graduate, he still manages to find ways to bother you. Seungcheol's secretive reasoning for the incessant teasing is his need for your attention all the time. Didn't matter if it was good or bad attention. He just knew if he had your attention then no one else would in that moment.

Sometime after Seungcheol started college he would often sleep over at your family's house to do overnight "studying" when in actuality he and your brothers were just staying up all night to play video games. And the next morning if Seungcheol saw you in the kitchen he would intentionally come out of one of your brothers' rooms and stand directly behind you. And because he's much taller than you he practically towered over you.

Every time you felt his presence and saw his shadow appear out from behind you you'd sigh. You knew he was about to purposely annoy you one way or another. One time he thought he'd be slick and lean against the kitchen counter next to you and give you a snarky remark about your messy bed head, which he secretly thought was cute. You rolled your eyes and glared at Seungcheol.

That's when he thought it would be a slick idea to put his hand under his shirt to rub his skin, with the hem of his T-shirt pulled up to show off part of his abs. He played it off nonchalantly even though he was definitely doing it to get a reaction out of you. When you looked over at Seungcheol he didn't see any sign of shyness or embarrassment on your face like he had hoped. He saw nothing but disdain.

"Bye, Cheol." You said as you rolled your eyes again and walked back into your room with a cup of coffee.

Seungcheol was determined to get you to acknowledge him as a man. Why? Because he's had a crush on you for years.

One hot summer day while on break from classes Seungcheol was hanging around your house waiting for your brothers to get home. You made the mistake of leaving your phone on the dining room table while you were in the shower. Seungcheol noticed your phone and curiosity struck him. He picked it up and lackadaisically walked into the living room with your phone in one hand and a popsicle in the other.

Casually sucking on the cold refreshment he attempted to unlock your phone, thinking you would have an impossible password to figure out. But to Seungcheol's surprise you didn't have a password whatsoever. Your brothers were annoying all throughout their lives but you never once needed to put a passcode on your phone because of them so it never crossed your mind.

Seungcheol's eyebrows raised out of deeper curiosity as he let out a light scoff. He laid flat on his back on the floor in the living room, right in front of a box fan, and scrolled through your phone. He looked through your contacts to find his number, wondering what you had him as in your phone. Seungcheol was disappointed when he saw it was just his name, no cute emojis or even weird nicknames like you had for your brothers.

He crossed his right leg and rested it on his left knee, lazily bouncing his foot while cooling off. Something possessed him to look through your photo gallery and to his pleasant surprise you had a lot of selfies you've never posted before. And he would know because he gets notifications when you upload content. Suddenly Seungcheol heard footsteps approach the living area. They were gentle steps so he already knew it was you.
