Angels and Devils (JeongCheol)

Pledis: part 1

Seungcheol's POV

It's now January 16th and Seungkwan's birthday. In other words this is the most stressful day of the year. We all know Seungkwan. He's a very picky and sassy person. Which is why we all stress out during his birthday. He's one of our best friends and each year we try to top what we did the last to make each birthday his best birthday ever. The thing is, we always want it to be perfect. For Joshua's birthday last week we all hung out at his place and just talked and ate pizza, cause that's what Joshua likes to do, but this is Seungkwan we're talking about. And Seungkwan finds very few things perfect. This year I'm hoping will be easier since we have like six more people to help, but then again, this is Seungkwan.

At the moment we're all at his house trying to prepare his party. We didn't bother to pretend we forgot or anything like that cause every year we start preparing for his birthday before he even realizes it's coming up. He took his brother to the mall to do a bit of shopping, meanwhile we're decorating his house and finishing the plan for his gift and how we'll give it to him. Vernon and I had an idea of what to get him but it was really expensive so we decided that we'd all together get him this one present instead of all getting him different little crappy gifts that'll end up in the back of his drawer.

"Is everything ready?" I asked everyone in the room. Seungkwan's eomma wasn't home but at work so we're on our own with this.

"What's a movie Seungkwan likes that we can watch together?" asked Dokyum.

"We're not watching any movies. That's too boring for Seungkwan." said Vernon. Usually Vernon and I are the ones that stress out the most about Seungkwan's birthday. Me because I don't want to disappoint him, Vernon just cause he's Seungkwan's best friend and wants everything to be perfect for him.

"As soon as Seungkwan gets here, we greet him, and we leave." I said.

"Where are we taking him again?" asked Joshua.

"Seungkwan's a singer." said Vernon. We all go to a performing arts school that helps kids our age chase our dreams of being... well... performers. "He writes his own songs too. What we're going to do is we're taking him to this recording studio we were able to rent for the afternoon. We'll be able to play around with it, recording songs, playing with autotune and stuff like that. Seungkwan will enjoy that. These," Vernon took a bunch of unorganized sheets and note pads out of his backpack. "Are some songs Seungkwan has written." he put them back in his bag. "I'll bring them with us. I told Mingyu and Woozi to bring some of the songs they've been working on too. If anyone else has any, feel free to bring them."

"What about Seungkwan's gift?" asked Minghao.

"We'll be giving that to him at the studio." I said.

"Seungkwan's here." said Jun. We all shut our traps and heard a car pull into the driveway.

"Seungkwan just texted me." said Vernon, looking at his phone. "Don't worry. I dropped my brother off at a friend's. He won't interrupt this 'surprise party' or whatever you guys are calling it." Vernon read the text and made us all laugh.

Seungkwan walked in through the front and did not seem surprised at all to see us.

"Hey guys." he said.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY!!!" people started screaming left and right. Seungkwan was showered with hugs and birthday wishes.

"Alright alright!" yelled Vernon. "You guys can go ahead and pretend Seungkwan means as much to you as he does to me but we all know Kwansol is the shit." Seungkwan smiled and hugged Vernon tightly as we all laughed.

"Ok, we got two cars outside. Everyone out!" I yelled. Everyone started running outside and piling into the two cars. Somehow, I ended with Jeonghan sitting on my lap, but hey no one's complaining. I don't think it's legal to have this many people in one car. Maybe we should have taken three cars. But, oh well, it's someone's birthday. Why not?

We drove for about thirty minutes until we got to the studio. Luckily we didn't run into any cops on the way. When we got out of the cars, Seungkwan looked up at the building we were about to enter.

"I've never heard of Pledis Entertainment." said Seungkwan.

"One of the bests." I said, putting my arm around Seungkwan. He smiled as we walked in.

"So what exactly are we going to do today?" asked Seungkwan as we walked through the halls of the building.

"We're just going to hang out in the recording studio and record some random stuff. We might eat something." said Vernon, taking my hand away from Seungkwan and putting his own arm around him.

"Yeah, Seungcheol and I ordered a pizza to the room we reserved earlier." said Jeonghan, smiling at me.

"Right here." I said, pointing at the room I reserved.

We all entered the room to see the coolest recording studio I've ever set foot in, with a large pizza sitting on a table next to the wall.

There was a chorus of 'woah's and 'oh my god's from all the boys as they looked around the place.

"Seungcheol, this is so cool." Jeonghan whispered in my ear.

"All for Seungkwan." I said, putting an arm around Jeonghan's shoulders.

"Alright, losers." said Mingyu. We gathered around the sound board. "The birthday boy can decide what we do first." We all looked at Seungkwan as he was looking around, trying to make a decision.

"I see some instruments in there." said Seungkwan, directing our attention towards the booth. There was a guitar, a bass, drums, and a keyboard in there, as well as a couple of microphones. "But wait, I didn't bring my songwriting sheets."

"Got it." said Vernon, taking the sheets out of his bag and handing them to Seungkwan.

"Oh." he said, making everyone laugh. "Anyone wanna help me out with the music? I have music sheets here too."

"Before we do anything." I said, stepping forward. "I think we should give Seungkwan his gift."

"Oh, you guys didn't have to." said Seungnkwan. "This is awesome enough."

"Shut it, Seungkwan, we all know you mean the exact opposite." said Wonwoo, an everyone laughed again.

"Just give it to him, Vernon." said Dino.

"Oh, I get the honours?" said Vernon.

"You always do." said Jun.

"Alright, well, you know that school trip that the teachers have planned? The trip to Canada?" said Vernon.

"Yeah." said Seungkwan.

"Well... we know how much you want to go and we also know that your mom doesn't have money to spare for it." said Vernon. "And we all don't want to go without you." Seungkwan's eyes widened as he started to realize what Vernon was saying. "So... we decided to split the cost and..." Vernon took out a single plane ticket to Canada and presented it to Seungkwan.

"Are you guys fucking serious?!" yelled Seungkwan taking the plane ticket. We all smiled at how emotional Seungkwan got. "Guys that was really expensive! You didn't have to!"

"We wanted to." said Vernon.

When Seungkwan was done his moment, we got back to what we were doing before.

"So who wants to play instruments." asked Seungkwan.

Hey guys. So I decided to split this chapter into two parts. I was thinking while writing it that I should maybe start thinking about a plot for a sequel if I wanna make one and I thought, maybe the sequel should be about them becoming SEVENTEEN but in an au where they knew each other in high school, like this. Do you guys get it? Anyway, as I was saying, this chapter is a two parter so expect part 2 soon. Bye babes! Love you💕
