Seventeen Imagines (COMPLETED)

The8

My head was leaned back against the mirror as my eyes were closing. The sweat rolled from my hair to my forehead. I just finished practicing after three hours and I still feel like the choreography isn't perfect.

"Hey. Aren't you supposed to be resting?"

When I opened my eyes, my cheeks quickly turned warm. I looked down at the floor and bit my lip.

I've been trying to avoid Minghao since I found out he has feelings for me. We were close friends but throughout the years we've been departing from each other.

"I'm fine", I mumbled.

He sat down in front of me and leaned forward to feel my forehead. He was so close that all I focused on were his lips.

"You're not fine. You're burning up. Come on, I'll take you home", he said.

He grabbed my hand but I roughly pulled it away, causing him to look at me with a shocked expression.

"I said I'm fine. I don't need you to help me", I mumbled, bringing my knees up to my chest.

He cleared his throat and sat down next to me. My breath hitched as I felt his arm rub against mine. He was sitting so close, I couldn't breathe.

"You're sick. You need to rest. I know we haven't been talking as much but I do care about you", he said.

He moved his hand next to mine and slowly intertwined our pinkies together. His finger was longer than mine so when they're placed together, my hand looks like a little girl's. Before I could fall into his hands, I shook my head and pulled my hand away.

"I have to get back to work", I said and stood up.

"Wait-"

As I walked away from him, I felt dizzy. The whole room was spinning. My vision blurred up and I was sweating like crazy. Then that's when I blacked out.

~~~~~

When I woke up, a wet towel that was folded up was placed on my forehead. I carefully sat up and cautiously looked around the room. I didn't recognize anything.

"Morning."

Minghao was walking in from the balcony. I scrunched up my face as I tried to remember how I got here.

"Where am I?", I asked him.

"My apartment. You fainted and I was planning to take you home but my apartment was closer so I brought you here", he said as he sat down in front of me and placed his hand on my forehead.

Again, he was super close. I can smell his minty breath. As soon as his eyes met mine, I quickly looked away. He smiled and grabbed the wet towel from my forehead.

"You don't seem to have a fever anymore but it's best if you keep resting. I made breakfast for you", he said.

"I'm not hungry", I mumbled.

He smirked as soon as he heard my stomach growl.

"Oh yeah. Not hungry at all. Come on or it'll get cold", he laughed and held my hand.

He led me towards the kitchen table and pulled the chair for me. Once I sat down on the chair, he placed himself on the chair next to me.

My stomach growled again once the delicious smell of the food went through my nose. Since I'm here, there's no harm in eating food that was made for me.

I felt a bit uncomfortable as I ate because Minghao was just watching me. And the smile on his face made me blush intensely.

"What?", I asked him.

"Nothing", he smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

He noticed I was struggling to eat so he scoot himself closer and grabbed the fork from my hand.

"Say ahh", he said as he held the fork in front of me.

I watched him carefully as I took a bite. He grabbed a napkin and brought it up to the corner of my mouth.

"Um..I should get going", I said, standing up.

"Wait..stay..just for a while. I'll take you home later..please", he said, carefully holding my wrist.

~~~~~

"What do you wanna watch?", he asked, placing the movies in front of me.

I looked at each movie that was on the coffee table. I decided to close my eyes and pick one out. He put the movie in and sat down next to me.

It was dark. I was uncomfortable. The plot of the movie kinda connected to what Minghao and I went through. Two close friends drifting apart.

"So...why have you been avoiding me?", he whispered into my ear.

I didn't realize how close he was so when I turned to look at him, his nose bumped into mine.

"Uh...what are you talking about?", I asked him.

"I asked your friend to ask you to meet me but she gives me some lame excuse on why you can't. Is it because of what you heard?", he asked.

I looked away and cleared my throat. He noticed how red my face was turning, thanks to the light coming from the tv.

"I don't know what you're talking about", I said.

"Yes you do. I know your friend overheard my conversation with one of my friends. Are you embarrassed? Is that why you've been avoiding me?", he asked.

He paused the movie and put his hand under my chin so I could face him.

"We've been friends for a really long time..you and I are different..you're good looking and I'm just (y/n). People will talk and say that you can do so much better..and it's true. You could do better", I said.

"I did not just hear that out of your mouth. I don't care what they say. I like you. I really like you. They should focus on themselves. Plus, you're beautiful", he said, smiling.

I chuckled and nudged him away. I grabbed the remote and continued the movie. He slowly put his arm over me and pulled me close to him. He kissed my cheek and laughed as I snorted. I blushed and playfully pushed him.

~~~~~

A few hours later, he took me back home. He walked me up to the door and intertwined our pinkies together.

"Sooo..."

"Soo.."

We stayed quiet. He smiled and placed his hands on each side of my face before leaning in.

"(Y/n) you're back! I was worried about you!", my friend opened the door and grabbed my wrist.

"Um..kinda busy he-"

"Hi Minghao, (y/n) needs to come inside and tell me about what happened between you two..I mean she's gonna tell me where she was. Goodbye!", she yelled excitedly as she closed the door.

Minghao chuckled and shook his head as he walked back to his car.
