Runaways Seventeen fanfic (Jihan, Soonhoon, Minhui, Meanie, Verkwan, Chancheol)

Going to see father

Jihoon took a bus all the way to his house and walked the rest of the way there. He could feel his heart pounding as he walked closer to the gate of his house. He didn't  know if he for sure wanted to go in there alone, but knew he'd have to do it at one point. 

He pressed the button near the speaker that was connected to the gate, it was kind of like a doorbell. "Who is it?" A man's voice was heard over the speaker. 

"It's me" was all Jihoon had to say for the gate doors to be opened automatically. 

While Jihoon walked towards his house, he could already see the gardeners and maids staring at him in shock, surprised that he was back. "young master, you're back?!" One of the gardeners question in surprise, approaching Jihoon with dirt still covered all over him. 

"Don't touch me, you're all muddy." Jihoon demands, glancing at the gardener with anger before turning his gaze away from him and continuing to head towards the house. The gardener backed away from Jihoon when he mentioned that he was dirty, and a slight pout was left on his face. 

As Jihoon opened the front doors to his house, his younger brother was the first one to greet him. "Jihoon, you actually came?!" He asks in excitement, practically clinging onto his older brother's arm. 

"Don't touch me" Jihoon says once again to his own brother, wiggling his arm so his younger brother's grip was off of him. He continued to make his way into the house while questioning "where's dad, let's get this over with so I can leave." 

"He's in his bedroom...but mom said she wanted to see you first before you speak to dad." Jiwoon warns, looking at his older brother in a little bit of sorrow for not telling him before hand. 

"If I knew mom would want to speak to me, I wouldn't have came at all!" Jihoon says in anger, turning around and heading back to the door so he could leave the house again. 

"Jihoon, you're home" his mother says in a monotone voice, not sounding like she cared very much in the least. Jihoon stopped in his tracks when he heard his mothers voice but continued to face his back to her. He didn't want to turn around and have to look into her eyes while speaking to her. 

"You were gone for a long time and now you come back because your father is sick...what a loving son." She says, clapping her hands together like he was applauding him. 

"Yeah, you probably put rat poison in his drink to make him sick or something, right?" Jihoon questions, having anger hinted in his tone of voice. 

"What was that?" His mother questions, trying to play it off like she didn't hear what Jihoon had said. 

"Nothing" Jihoon replies, knowing he shouldn't say what he said any louder.

"I thought so" she says while walking up to Jihoon and putting one hand on his shoulder. "Your father is very sick...and we need someone to take care of the company when their older. Obviously when he dies I'll be in place of him, but when I'm gone...we need to decide which of you two are going to take over." She says, referring to Jihoon and his younger brother. 

"That's what I came here to settle. I want nothing to do with the company, I don't want to take care of it. Let Jiwoon have it for all I care, I don't want to work at the stupid company." Jihoon answers in a sigh, turning around so he was forcing his mother's hand from off of his shoulder and he was now looking at her. He continues to say "now that we got that out of the way, where's dad? I should at least speak to him since I came to visit." 

His mother stared down at him for a second with no emotion on her face, like she was trying to think of what to say. "Fine, I'll show you where your father is...follow me." She says in a polite tone, like she was talking to a stranger that she was meeting for the first time. 

Jihoon's mother showed him all the way upstairs, leading him to the bedroom where his father was in. "Your father is in here, I'll give you fifteen minutes with him." She answers, staying in front of the door. 

Jihoon looked at his mother but wasn't going to question it. He walked inside the room where he closed the door behind him. He saw the huge king sized bed facing the door. His skinny father laying underneath the big, fluffy blankets. 

Jihoon slowly walked closer to where his father was laying and stared at his weakly bony face. Jihoon's father slowly opened his eyes when he heard someone walk up to him. His eyes opened slightly wider in shock when he saw it was Jihoon. 

"I hope you die" Jihoon says to him in anger while crossing his arms, staring down at his father. 

Meanwhile with Seungcheol, he was just about done making breakfast and was putting the food on the table for everyone when he felt his cellphone buzz in his pocket. When Seungcheol pulled out his phone from his pocket, he saw he got a text message from Hyuk. 

When he opened the message, it was Hyuk asking why Seungcheol didn't go to the get together that he had invited him to. Seungcheol let out a faint sigh, not wanting to reply to Hyuk because he knew he had to make an excuse up. 

He slowly started replying back, answering "I was really caught up in my studies, I couldn't make it...I'm sorry I didn't contact you before hand though." 

"Oh it's fine, you don't have to apologise. Why not we just reschedule? Tomorrow maybe?" Hyuk replies in a second. 

Seungcheol thought about it for a second, not sure if he should really go. "I do need to do the laundry tomorrow...and I have my project due on Tuesday." He says to himself faintly before groaning loudly. "Fine, I'll come." Seungcheol replies to Hyuk with a smiley faced emoji at the end. 

"That's great! I'll text you later about all the information and where we're going to meet up. I'll see you tomorrow!" Hyuk texts back. 

Seungcheol stared at the text for a moment before putting his phone back into his pants pocket and calling everyone downstairs for breakfast.
