After a few minutes' practice, Joshua lets the little girl play on her own, and his brother is shocked to see that the little girl really does come up with melodies that make sense and fit together.
" Who are you for real."
" I'm Joshua, I've already told you. Who are you, though ? I still don't have your first names. "
" Ah, my name is Jeonghan and her name is Mia."
" Mia has some talent to exploit with the guitar, believe me. If your parents let her explore the guitar field in more detail, I assure you she can have a bright future. "
" Are you a teacher ? Or a professional guitarist perhaps ? "
" Nothing like that, I'm a singer in the band Seventeen. "
" I figured your first name and face weren't unfamiliar. " Jeonghan starts blushing.
" So you're a Carat ? It's interesting to meet a fan in this kind of context. "
" I never thought I'd meet a member of one of my favorite bands like this anymore."
" Who knows ? Maybe it was fate that decided to connect us like this."
Jeonghan swallows and blushes even more when he feels Joshua's gaze on his person, honestly he feels stupid not to have recognized the Seventeen member. Especially as this is the member who makes him feel things the most, in other words the young American is clearly his bias.
" Besides, your sister told me she was forced to play the piano, and you're forced to do something ? "
" I'm not forced because I like it, but my parents strongly pushed me to train to become an idol."
" Are you dragging ? "
" To get into your group."
" Uh ? You're potentially the 13th member ? "
" Nothing's won yet."
The blond shrugs and Joshua sighs he's already been to see them drag multiple times but he's never noticed Jeonghan and yet now that he has him in front of him, his gaze doesn't want to leave the boy's sweet face.
" It's only a few months until the results come in."
" We'll be there ! Cheol will be happy to have someone our age join us."
" I told you nothing's for sure yet, the others have plenty of talent too."
Joshua nods, he doesn't know why, but his subconscious tells him to believe that Jeonghan will be the last member to complete the group.
He won't tell the blond, but his instinct is that he's the one who'll pass the tests. The two young men spend the whole day talking about everything and anything, even exchanging numbers, and Joshua decides to become little Mia's teacher when he has free time.
-> A few months later
Joshua is there in the practice room with his members and friends, in front of them are the hangers-on, the American's eyes are fixed on Jeonghan, who's stressing the black guy out, so he's trying everything he can to soothe him, he's very attached to the boy and he wants him to be the last member of the group.
[ The last member to join Seventeen is... Yoon Jeonghan ! ]
Jeonghan blinks and starts to cry with joy, he really didn't believe it but in the end he did well to fight for it because now he has his place in the group. Joshua immediately comes over to give him a warm hug to congratulate him, Jeonghan returns the hug and continues to cry silently.
-> After several weeks with Jeonghan in the group
Joshua and Jeonghan are still stuck together, the other members think there's something going on between them, but they say loud and clear that they're just friends - a statement that sounds very untrue to other people's ears, and yet rings true to the ears of the two concerned.
At the moment, the two friends are practicing in the youngest's room, the elder having a little trouble with certain words and Joshua having some trouble tuning the strings of his brand-new guitar.
" Joshuji, you can come on the bed with me, I seem to be having trouble understanding the meaning of this sentence."
" Hey Hannie, you're supposed to be the Korean between us it's you who's supposed to understand the language better than me."
Joshua chuckles slightly and comes to sit on the bed beside Jeonghan, reading the blond's words in another voice while explaining the meaning and feelings Jihoon is trying to convey through the words.
" Uh ? Joshuji ! I Adore U ~"
" Me too Hannie-ya. "
" I'd even say I love you."
Jeonghan starts to blush, he hides his face in both hands and Joshua chuckles at this cute reaction from his eldest, slowly the younger pulls his hands away from Jeonghan's face and he brings his own face close to the older man's.
" I love you too, Hannie-ya. You can be sure of that."
" Why do you keep telling the others that only friendship can exist between us if you love me ? "
" Because I wasn't sure of your feelings, I would never have accepted you rejecting me."
" I'd never have pushed you away, I've known about my feelings for you for a long time."
Joshua giggles again, he gently lifts Jeonghan's chin with his fingers and brings his lips to meet the blond's, the exchange is sweet and innocent befitting their relationship and what they feel for each other, they don't need to be wild just a small, calm, soothing kiss like this is enough to bring their two hearts together.
Jeonghan ends up putting his hands on Joshua's torso to push him away, he starts to blush even more when he senses the younger man's trim, well-built body, Joshua backs away from Jeonghan and he tucks the blond's locks back behind the boy's ears.
" You're so cute blushing like that ! "
" You make me shy, I don't think I've ever been so shy around anyone. "
" Hannie-ya you're adorable. Will you be my boyfriend ? "
" Hm ! "
" What hmm ? You're what ? "
" I. uh ? I'm yours, you're mine."
" More concretely ? "
" That's understandable, don't make me say anything else."
" Hannie-ya I'm what ? "
" You're mine ! "
" I'm your boyfriend."
Jeonghan nods and Joshua laughs he takes his eldest in his arms and cradles him gently, their love affair can definitely begin, and go as far as possible.
