[COMPLETED] the first ; 첫 (SVT Vernon X Reader)

6: 왜 안 지워지네?

Ten minutes later, someone knocked on and opened the door. "Annyeonghase-" You looked at the person in front of you. You can't help breathing in sharply, but it seems like all the air ran away from you. He's even more handsome in person~ You should be used to this by now, if you're gonna work with Aerin.
"Annyeong, Eom-mwo? Aerin-eomma eodieyo?"
"Uhm, s-she went out to get some things from Managernim's office. P-please come in," you told the idol breathlessly, trying to calm yourself with quiet breaths. He's so fragrant~ TㅅT
"Kamsahamnida." He entered the room and went to sit on one of the swivel chairs. He pulled out his phone and got busy with it.

You decided you'll call your mom back now. It's been...
"NO REPLIES FOR 14 HOURS AND A HALF! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"
"Mom. Sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry. I'm okay, really. Sorry again."
"Fine. But never again, please? You know I hate worrying. It's your first time alone out of the country and God knows what might-"
"Mom. I'm gonna be okay. You're gonna have to trust me when I say I can take care of myself, you know that, right?"
You heard her sigh from the other line.
"Fine. Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay. Never skip your meals, alright? And always hydrate yourself. I can't have you going back here sickly."
"Mom."
"Yes?"
"Thank you. It's been the best birthday." You heard her laugh. It's good music.
"You always say that. Every single year."
"It's the truth! Every year becomes the best, and I'm really grateful. I love you, Mommy!~♡"
"I love you, too. Take care, a'ight? Call me before you sleep!"
"Yup!" You hung up.

"Noona."
"Kkamjagiya!" You jumped off your seat, forgetting that you're apparently not alone in the room. "N-ne?"
"Joesonghamnida, Noona. I did not mean to startle you."
"A-aniyo. Don't be, Oppa."
"Mwoyo?"
"You're older than me, Oppa."
"How sure are you of that, Noona?"
"Pretty sure since the last time I checked, my birthday was beyond the 11th of February, 1999."
His eyes grew big. Seeing Lee Chan slip off his chair was quite a sight. Damn. He's too cute. "Heol. Daebak. You're a Carat?!"
You smiled, confirming it to him. "Wow. *U* I did not know we have fans this pretty."

You immediately blushed. WHY DO THEY KEEP SAYING THAT WHY WHY-

"Annyeonghaseyo~ oh? You're not Aerin-eomma. Who are you?" You froze. That's-
"Noona, gwaenchanhayo?" Dino waved his hands in front of you. "Noona?"
"N-neo... Lee J-Jihoon-ssi, n-ne?"
"Ne. Mannaseo bangaseumnida. Ireumeun mwoyeyo?"
Dino nodded. "Ne, Noona. What's your name?"
"I'm- I'm-"
"Pull up on you wacks with a mac fully loaded uh- peobeuo jangmacheol beoljibdeu- KKAMJAGI- LITTLE POTATO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Woozi massaged his forehead. "Yah, Hansol. Why are you screaming?"
"'m not screamin'. That's what we call music, Hyung."
Oh God. Vernon's in the house. Yo. And now, you're having trouble breathing.
Again. No biggie.
"You know each other, Noona?" Dino asked you. You are currently stuck in your position.
Those are just plain white hoodies and just dull, grey sweatpants. How is he this handsome? It's seriously unfair. Aish, Y/N! Calm down!
"I'm a Carat. Of course I know him!~♡" You answered.

Rise and shine, Potato-chinguya~ Welcome to South Korea. :)

You tried to push down all the memories from that plane ride.
Woozi put up a hand. "Wait. Oh. She's the one? Heol. You did not tell us-"
"Hyung, no, jebal-"
"-that she was this pretty."
"No. The little potato is not. I don't agree."
Woozi rolled his eyes. "Shut up, Hansol. She clearly is."
"Wait, what?" You can't understand what they're talking about.
"Ohmo! Noona's that one?" Dino perched up.
Hansol just facepalmed. "Oh my God."
All you saw was a nodding Jihoon, a shocked Chan and an... embarrassed Vernon. Why?
"Gidaryeo. Geuraeseo, you do know each other. That's why you aren't shocked anymore! Who's-"
Hansol immediately looked up. "Chan, no-"
"-your bias in Seventeen?"
"Oh my God~" With that, Mr. Twix showed his way out the room. What's up with that dude, jinjja?
As he got out the door, you saw Aerin get in.
"What's up with Hansol? Why did he-WAAAAAH~ Channie~!"
"Eomma~!" Dino stood to slow-run towards Aerin's open arms. They just hugged each other, like that.
"How's my favorite Sebong? Are they letting you eat? Does Jun cook for you? I told him to!" Now you get why they keep calling her eomma.
"Ne, Eomma. Hyungs have been taking care of me. I'm thankful." They let go of each other now, with Aerin carefully patting Dino's head.
"Johda~ Aigoo~ let me hug you again!" Heol.
After one big, tight bear hugging session, Aerin turned her attention Jihoon.
"Yah, Jihoon-ah~"
"Ne, Eomma?"
" *ㅅ* You want me to hug you too, don't you?" This eonni is... scary. Just how close is she with Seventeen? You just can't help but wonder.
"A-aniy-" Woozi was shut up by another bear hug, fresh from the arms of Seventeen's scary mix engineer.
"Jihoon-ah, you got ideas for me?" Aerin asked, as she let go of Woozi. Heol. She is not some ordinary Carat.
"Aigoo, jinjja. Yeoreobun, meet Y/N-ah. She's my cute assistant. Treat her like you treat me, arasseo?" She said, formally introducing you to Woozi and Dino.
"Woah~ so that's your name. Yeppeo~!" Even Dino is talkative. Everyone is talkative.
"Since only you two are here, we'll just do some brainstorming. Yoonseung-oppa still hasn't called me so any idea's welcome. Even you, Yeodongsaeng. It's your time to shine like a diamondeu!~♡" Aerin told you, full well knowing now that you're a Carat, like her.
"Eonni, who's Yoonseung-oppa?" You asked Aerin, but Woozi answered.
"Oh, he's our recording engineer. But he's got this weird way of thinking that landed us on the whole concept-theory platform. It's honestly amazing."

Aerin suddenly grabbed Chan's arm. "Wait, why did Vernon leave? Aish~ his concepts are always daebak!"
"Oh, that, Eomma. Were you aware of our trip?" Chan asked.
"Ne, your appa told me. What about it?"

She's friends with their parents, too? This is amazing. Dino went on with his story.
"Well, we arrived yesterday. Obviously. However, something crazy happened."
"What crazy thing?" You just kept on listening.
Woozi continued it. "Hansol got missing for like, two or three hours before the flight, Eomma. Ever heard of something like that?"
Aerin was biting her nails. "Mwoya? Jinjja? Oh my God~ What did you feed that kid?! Seriously? Oh my God! Were you starving him?! I'll kill Mingyu! That never happens! Hansol does not simply roam around like that!"
"He doesn't?" You asked.
"Geureohchi! Usually, he'd be with Seungkwan-hyung, sleeping before the flight then sleeping again during the flight. I don't know how he became that... I don't know where he got the energy to stay awake, jinjja. It was the strangest thing, I swear. " Dino looks pretty much convinced that it was, indeed, the strangest thing.
You aren't speaking. You remembered all the things you did back on that plane.
Damn, you literally made him your bed and went all kinds of shameless, from leaning your whole weight on him, to smacking him on the arm and all other things.
Nappeuda, Y/N. You mentally scolded yourself.
"Then, he wasn't with us too for about 15 minutes after we go down the-"
"Eo-eonni, excuse me. May I go out? I really need to use the restroom." You made up an excuse, dedicated to escape the hotseat, if it comes to that.
"Of course! But will you be able to find your way?"
"N-ne. I think so."
"Okie~!" You uttered a quick "Gomawoyo," and made your way out of the room.

"Whew, that was-"
"Yah, Potato."
"Kkamjag- oh. Hi, Oppa. Yah! Where are yo- YAH!" He grabbed you by the hand and is literally dragging you.
Reaching the building's parking lot, he dragged you in front of...
"Yah! Aish, why are you wearing such short shorts?!"
"Mwo?! It's barely above my knees! And why do you care?"
"Mwo?! I don't! What are you waiting for?! Hop on!"
"Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Where are you bringing me?"
"Aish, jinjja! Just hop on!"
"Fine! Jeongmal. Aigoo~"
Under normal circumstances, your mom would have killed you for riding behind some boy. But this, in no way, is normal.
"Yah, Potato. What's your deal?"
"What deal?"
"I sonyeo, jeongmal." He grabbed your hands which were currently clutching the sides of his sweater and pulled them close to him, so that you look like your hugging him.
"Y-yah! Mwohaeyo?" You asked him. Thank God you're the one behind. He wouldn't be able to see your reddening face.
"Come on, Potato. You're trembling. Haven't you ever rode a bicycle? Just hold on tight. We won't fall, I swear. I'm the best rider in town." Vernon winked at you through the mirror. Why does this bike have a mirror?!
He started driving, and you had to admit it, Hansol Choi knows his way around a bicycle. "Potato! Don't close your eyes! Come on, the city's neomu areumdawoyo!~♡"

He brought you to a little café-restaurant.
"Yeppeo~♡" You can't help but be mesmerized by the place's aura.
"I know right. Anja. Gidaryeo." You watched as he went to the counter to buy something. Why did he grab you? He could've gone alone.
"YAH, POTATO. Bring these." He said, handing you four sets of cup holders, each holding 4 cups of coffee. That's why he brought you along- to make you carry all he bought. "You're gonna drink all these?!"
"Wae an jiwojine?"
"What?"
"Well, I've got a long night ahead. Gaja!~"
And he dragged you outside again, you rode the bike together again, with him pedaling all the way back to Pledis.
"Aish, Potato. Why are you bringing all that by yourself?! Aish, jinjja~" The two of you are walking back to Aerin's office now.
"Uhm, because you made me carry them?!" You answered, while he grabbed the holders off your hands. Hansol handed you a cup.
"Mwo?"
"It's a coffee cup? Never seen anything like it? ㅡㅅㅡ "
"Aish~ jeongmal. I don't drink anything except-"
"Caramel mach. So just get it and shut up."
H-how did he know about your love for caramel machiatto? It's... it's the world's greatest mystery! H-how-?! You told him back in that plane, duh?
You did as he said and quietly sipped your coffee. "Johda~♡ Gomawo, Oppa."
"That's cringeworthy, Potato, please."
You just rolled your eyes. Is he on his period? He's even more sensitive than you are. The two of you reached the office in no time. Vernon got in the room first.
"I'm here~" He started giving away specific coffee cups to the other members.
Oh. He bought them for Seventeen.
How... thoughtful.
