Part 5

Suddenly, I woke up in what it seemed an unfamiliar place. I looked around, trying to remember what happened.
"Oh no! I didn't return to college yesterday!" I stood up as fast as I could and ran out of the room.
Then, suddenly I bumped into someone. Immediately losing my balance, and falling backwards.
"I'm sorry." I apologised immediately.
"Are you okay?" I heard a familiar voice.
I looked up, to see Joshua, extending his hand towards me.
"What happen? Why are you in such a rush?" Joshua asked.
"Well, I just remembered, I haven't returned to college last night. I really have to hurry and explain what happened." I explained, looking at the floor.
"Don't worry you still have Jun with you, don't you? He can sort everything out. Besides we still need to have the photo-shoot done. Why don't you have breakfast with us and wait until then?" Joshua gave me a beautiful smile.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked disappointed.
"I'm afraid, you don't." Joshua laughed a little. "Wait here. I'll go and wake the members up." With that he went off.
"Hey Yuri. Did you sleep well?" Someone approached me from the back, putting his hand on my shoulder, instantly making me Jump.
I turned round "Jun... You scared me."
"Oh, sorry. Are you okay?" Jun smiled.
"Jun...." I lowered my head slightly.
"Is something wrong? What happened?" Jun looked at me with a worried expression.
"When will I be able to go home. You know that I'm a big fan of Seventeen. Don't you? My heart honestly can't take much more of this." I explained, lowering my head.
"Yuri, look at me." Jun bent down a little, bringing his face closer to mine. "Are you nervous around me?"
I stared back at Jun, as I felt my heart slowly calming down. "Not as much."
"See. Can you remember how nervous you were when I first spoke to you? The thing is, that the more time you spend with us the more natural it will feel. You really are special person; I don't want you to treat us any better or worse than we treat you. Do you understand?" Jun gazed into my eyes as he said that.
I slowly nodded in response.
"But at least tell me. Why me?" I lowered my head again.
"Yuri. Wait until the concert. We will explain everything then." Jun stood up strait again, and messed my hair up a little.

"Okay! Is everyone ready?" S.coups walked out of the room, in high spirit. "Come on, let's go. We'll be having our breakfast when we get there."
"Yuri. What are you waiting for? Come on." S.coups stopped and smiled, gesturing me to catch up.

Then, I finally noticed a bus round the corner. I watched the members getting on the bus, one by one.
"Yuri. Get on." I noticed Dino looking out of the window.
I hesitantly walked into the bus and noticed Jun patting the sit next to him, gesturing me to sit down.
I slowly took my sit next to Jun.

Suddenly, the bus stopped.
"We're here." The bus driver said.
"Come on. Let's go." Jeonghan got off first and led the way.
"Yuri. When we get in, just try and relax, just let them prepare you for the photoshoot and then just be yourself. Don't try being someone else. Okay?" Jun explained and gently patted me on my back.
I nodded in response.

"Yuri, what do you want to eat, I'll order it for you." Joshua came up to me, as I and Jun entered the café.
"What is there to choose from?" I asked
"Sandwiches, noodles, full meals. Pretty much anything." Jun answered.
"Hmm...Can I have the noodles, please?" I managed to decide.
"Okay, Jun should I order for you too?" Joshua smiled and then turned slightly to face Jun.
"No, I can order for myself. Thank you." Jun smiled and walked off.
"Come on. Take a sit." Joshua walked to a big table and pulled on of the sits out.
"Thank you."
"Wait here, I'll order the food now." Joshua messed my hair a little and walked off.
After about a minute, all members began coming back to the table, one by one.
Both Jun and Joshua sit next to me.
"Nervous?" Joshua turns to face me.
"No, not really." I answer calmly.
"Oh, look at you. You are finally becoming more and more confident in yourself." Jun placed his hand on my shoulder and leaned a little closer. "If you aren't nervous before the photoshoot, that's even more reason for you not to get nervous around people."
"These are two different things. As long as I won't have to show my face in front of too many people I'll be fine." I answered shyly.
Suddenly, Woozi burst out laughing.
"What?! Did I say something wrong?"
"At the live concert there will be at l-..."
"Woozi!" S.coups cut Woozi off and gave a the stare.
"Here's your orders." The staff set all of the food on the table.
"Let's eat." We all said, as we began to dig in to our food.

"Has everyone finished?!" An enthusiastic looking man walked in to the café and stopped at our table, just as we were finishing our food.
"Let's get all of you ready." The man didn't give anyone of us enough of time to even respond.
"Come on, all of you. Get up. Follow me." The man ordered.
We walked through long hallways. Through all of the turns we took, I started to get curious how people manage to find their way around this building. I never knew that such big and confusing buildings existed.
After a while we stopped in front of the door. I watched the Seventeen members walking through the door.
"Yuri, you'll be getting ready over here." The man opened the next door, letting me in.
After we all were ready. I followed the members onto the photo shooting area.
It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would. The team told us exactly what we need to do.
Firstly, they asked me to sit down in the middle, and the rest of the members to scatter around me. Then we took some more photos with props, they handed Jun a rose and they placed something that looked like a wooden wall, on the back right corner. Jun kneeled in front of me, holding the rose up to me and the rest of the members hid behind the wall, with surprised expressions.
Before I knew it, it was already sixteen o'clock.
Then, finally when we were finished, we all made our way back on to the bus.
