Bracelet // Vernon X Reader

Chapter 8

Vernon's POV
It was humid at LAX. We came out of the airplane as fans were surrounding us.

"Who is she?"
"Who's that girl?
"Why is she with Seventeen?
"Maybe their new manager?"
"She's too young to be one."

Minghao tapped on my shoulder. "The fans are eyeing Y/N," he noticed. The crowd continued squealing with excitement.

"Who is she?"
"Who's that girl?
"Why is she with Seventeen?
"Maybe their new manager?"
"She's too young to be one."

Questions were repeatedly asked. I came up to one of the fans and said "You'll find out soon," as they squealed and reached out to me. The guards held them back as I waved "Annyeong!"

Y/N's POV
We arrived at the hotel and the temperature was way hotter than San Francisco. I was in the room with Seventeen when the manager knocked on the door.

"Oh, Y/N, we don't have an extra room, and you can't stay with Seventeen," said one of their managers.

I had a mini panic attack because I didn't know where to go.

"Y/N, since we're going to my parents' house, you can stay there," Joshua said.

"Are you sure? I mean, it's your parents' house."

"I'm sure. They'll be happy to have you stay. In fact, I'll call them right now." He said as he left.

"Later today, we're going to drop Y/N off at Joshua's house. You all can roam around LA. Just make sure you'll be back at the hotel at 5. Use your phone if you ever get lost," said S.coups as they got ready to leave the hotel while I sat on the bed.

Vernon approached me and asked, "Wanna come with me?"

"Uh-" Vernon grabbed my hand and rushed me out the door.

We roamed around LA with a bunch people in a crowd. I was so excited seeing the names of different Hollywood celebrities. We were having so much fun as an old lady approached us.

"What a beautiful couple!" The lady said as I looked at him.

"Uh...We are n-"

"Thank you!" said Vernon.

"Would you like to make bracelets?" asked the old lady.

"Uh-"

"Of course!" Said Vernon with delight as she took us to where she makes her accessories.

"Here, make bracelets for each other. These are special pieces of equipment said my mother, my grandmother and grandmothers' mother. As you make the bracelet, make a promise to each other. A promise you can take, a promise that can wait, and a promise that will not break." the old lady said.

We made similar bracelets with red rose beads and gold chain. As we finished making the bracelet, he turned around and faced me. My heart was pounding so hard that it can-

"Y/N, I promise to always be here whenever you need me," he said as he looked into my eyes. "I promise to always have my shoulder for you to cry on. And, I promise to help you find your biological parents," he finished his promises and put the bracelet on my left wrist.

"Hansol Vernon Chwe, I promise to always be here for you. I promise to make our friendship valuable. I promise to always try to understand you. And, I promise to always support you and the rest of the members of Seventeen." I put the bracelet on his left wrist.
We got up to go to the counter as he slipped his left hand to my right hand.

"Y/N, promise me you won't leave m-"

"I promise."

We met up with the old lady to pay but she did not accept any cash or payment.

"Your payment is keeping the promise or promises you made to each other. Trust me, making a promise is easy, but actually keeping it is not," the old lady said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joshua rang the doorbell as the members and I followed along. A woman with dark brown, middle length hair opened the door and hugged him. I'm assuming that's his mom. The members went inside and sat on the sofa while turning on the tv.

"Mom. Dad. This is Y/N," he introduced me as I shook their hands.

"Hi, I hope you don't mind me staying."

"No, not at all! You are welcome anytime!" Joshua's mom and dad greeted me with delight.

"Boys! Bring Y/N's bag upstairs" said Joshua's dad as he gave them an 'if you don't bring it up, no meat for dinner' look.

They all got up as Joshua said: "Vernon and I will do it and the rest, help mom with dinner."

We all went up as the two boys helped me unpack.

"Y/N, is this yours?" asked Joshua as he held my glittery star bag and my biological family picture.
