Joshua x Reader
You were afraid. Not spiders, or bugs, or the dark.
No no no no.
You were afraid of people.
Not a joke. You couldn't even face your own family. You dropped out of school and isolated yourself in a cozy cabin in the woods of California. Your parents delivered food to you every week, but they never once saw your face, since the incident.
You just wanted to avoid everyone, but the universe had different plans for you. You didn't have an obvious soulmate bond, so you hoped you were part of the 1% of the world that didn't have a soulmate.
Sadly for you, it wasn't true.
You went to bed the night before snuggled in your blankets, nothing unusual.
The next morning someone is shaking you, and you freak. You literally jumped away from whoever touched you and started trembling in the corner of your room. The boy- oh this is even worse for you- looks at you concerned.
He spewed a bunch of sounds. The only thing you understood was Joshua. He tried approaching you, but you weren't having any of it. You sprinted out of that room and found a closet to hide in. Your breathing was heavy and tears pooled in your eyes. You heard a lot more sounds that you couldn't understand.
Then suddenly it all went quiet. The closet you were hiding in creaked open and a face appeared.
You panicked and grabbed whatever you could get your hands on and chucked it at the face. You kept screaming over and over. "Get away from me. Get away from me."
You were literally having a panic attack. You kept having flashbacks. The worse moments in your life.
"Hey it's okay." Said a hesitant soothing voice from outside the closet. Instead of weird sounds you heard English. "I'm Vernon. Who are you."
"I don't want to be here. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't." You blubbered uncontrollably your voice getting hoarse.
"Why not?" Said the voice that called itself Vernon.
"You're a person. Stop it. All your going to do is hurt me. Stop pretending. I never wanted this to happen. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Send me back." Screams were emerging from your throat.
On the other side of the door Seventeen's Vernon was listening to the blubbering of Joshua's voice. And boy he felt helpless.
"What is he saying?" Asked S.Coups.
"It's his soulmate." The room went silent apart from the sobs inside the closet.
"We are going to go to practice. Try to get her out of there." S.Coups said in a commanding tone turning to the rest of the members.
Vernon grimaced. "Not likely hyung." The entirety of Seventeen tilted their heads in confusion. "She scared of people."
When Joshua woke up he was very confused. He wasn't in his room. Which lead him to the obvious solution that was he swapped bodies with his soulmate. And boyyyy he was ecstatic. He explored the your house a bit wondering why no one was home. Suddenly the door was knocked on, so he walked over to answer it.
"Y/N, we have your food for the week." Came a feminine voice from outside the door.
Joshua walked over to it and opened it peering outside. "Oh uh thanks? Who are you guys?"
