A story about innocent cohabitation between two Korean boys and one foreigner girl.
What could possibly go wrong?
(Not a meanie fanfiction or a love triangle, or at least not between Mingyu, Wonwoo and the OC.)
Other seventeen members will be also f...
The average human is supposed to follow the same path as everybody else: be born, go to school, go to university, get a job, get married, have kids and in the end feel the eternal dark embrace of death.
In my case, I already completed the first three stages. I finished university along with my two best friends and then the three of us started to crazily look for a job. Say goodbye to the halls and the classes, say hello to a job and the taxes. The first one to make it was Wonwoo, followed shortly by Mingyu and then later on, me.
Is our current life easy? No. I had to quit my part time job at the bookstore which made me terribly sad, but I had to commit to my new job. My new and very stressful job! Mingyu and Wonwoo weren't getting any easier than me. The three of us usually arrive home feeling like all possible vital energy had left our bodies.
Luckily, there were still things that never changed. We still live in the same building, with the same crazy neighbors and a few new ones, like Seungkwan and Dino, who are going through pretty much the same thing as us, and in order to make things at least slightly better for everybody, Seungcheol took upon himself to give motivational speeches to everyone. And then he wonders why Dino sometimes calls him dad...
Even though neither me nor Joshua work at the bookstore anymore, the two of us still drop by frequently, to see how Woozi and Vernon are doing and to just vent about whatever is stressing us. He would never admit to anyone, but I know that Woozi feels, somewhere very deep in his heart, grateful that we spent so much time there. His only problem is that he can't order us to actually do some work.
"You know, just because you're my friend that doesn't mean that you can take a nap here!" Woozi warned.
Right...so sometimes, when life gets too hard and work just gets too tiring, I go to the bookstore, not only because I love books and I miss Woozi and I desperately wish for him to be my boss again, but also because it's a great place to get some shut-eye.
"But-"
"Adulthood is kicking your butt again?"
"Yeah...I thought it was hard when I turned 20, but now it sure isn't a walk in a park."
"You know what I once heard? That in times like these, you have to hold on to what truly matters to you. There are still good things in the world."
"Like Shinee?"
"...no."
"F(x)?"
"Also no."
"Big Bang?"
"I'm not talking about music groups!" Woozi hinted.
"...food?"
"Are you serious?!"
"What do you want from me Lee Jihoon?!" I cried out.
"It's the people around you that matters!"
"...You were forced to listen to one of Coups lectures weren't you?"
"I was and I cringed so hard that I had to hold onto Hoshi for support."
"I'm trying not to cringe right now because I have a lot of respect for you."
"I'm flattered. Now go home and get some rest."
So, even though I am legally an adult, do not be fooled. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing all the time. I owe Jihoon and Mingyu a lot for helping me to keep my shit together. And I owe Wonwoo even more for actually being able to put up with me even now.
Later that day, due to all the naps that I took, I couldn't get much sleep. The good news is that tomorrow is Saturday. Mingyu had already called it a night and went to bed, but I decided to wait for Wonwoo. The poor guy works so hard that sometimes Mingyu and I fear that he'll pass out due to exhaustion.
Late at night, the choices of what to watch on tv are pretty limited, so I settled for an old rerun of 'Descendants of the sun' to entertain myself while I waited.
Wonwoo arrived later, looking completely worn out. Once his tired expression changed to confusion and surprise once he noticed me.
"Hey!"
"Hey."
"Why are you still up?" Wonwoo whispered while sitting on the couch next to me.
"I was waiting for you."
"You should be getting some sleep."
"I couldn't sleep without you here anyway."
"The lack of sleep makes you cheesy, I see." Wonwoo quietly chuckled, wrapping his arms around me. "How was your day?"
"Tiring. Also, one of my coworkers kept asking when was I planning to get married and later on I ended up falling asleep on Woozi's bookstore. Again."
"Do you plan on getting married?"
"...I don't know, maybe. You?"
"Someday. With you."
"That was smooth Wonwoo."
"It made you blush didn't it?"
"Oh shut up!"
Yes, life is hard. But at times like these, despite how cringe-worthy this sounds, it's important to remember that there are still good things in the world.
Like Jeon Wonwoo.

So sorry about the crappy ending, I hope you didn't cringe too much.
Anyways...this is the end of the story.
Special thanks to kpopstann for being so supportive of this story and always motivating me to keep writing it. I am forever going to blame you for telling me about seventeen, thanks to you I am trash!
Thank you to everybody who actually took the time to read my attempt at a fanfiction. I never thought that it would get so many reads, this means a lot to me! （*'▽｀*）
I will probably write more stuff here whenever I have the time and if you guys would want me too. That most likely includes another Wonwoo fanfic soon.
Feel free to message me if you like or if you have any suggestion what so ever. I am awkward but I swear that I'm actually nice.
