Seventeen Preferences & Scenarios

Soulmate!Seventeen - Joshua: Once Upon A Dream

* before you could answer you started fading as you woke up and he grabbed for your hand

* "promise you'll find me!" he called as you vanished

* a few weeks later you were hanging out with a friend when she mentioned a band one of her friends had started listening to

* "is this your weird k-pop friend?" you asked, stirring your coffee

* your friend laughed and pushed your shoulder

* "yes, it's my weird k-pop friend, but you might actually like this band. They're called Seventeen —"

* she pulled out her phone, showing you a picture

* you nearly dropped your drink, tugging the phone from her and zooming in on one of the members

* "what's wrong?" she asked, leaning over. "Oh, that's Joshua — he's from California, LA actually. He's a real gentleman."

* you stared at him, almost unable to believe it

* your soulmate's gentle smile and beautiful eyes stared back at you from the phone screen

* "show me their music," you choked out. "I want to hear it."

* over the course of the next few weeks, you got to know Seventeen and fell in love with them

* their names, personalities, music

* when next you saw Joshua, you tried to tell him that you found him, but the words stuck in your throat

* you wanted to tell him how much you'd grown to love the him you'd seen in Seventeen

* his awful freestyle rap, his hilarious personality, everything

* alas, the universe hates you

* you tried to call him by name but again the words stuck

* he could only watch and try to comfort you as you began crying

* "it's all right, I'm here," he whispered in your ear, putting his arms around you

* you sobbed into his shoulder, apologies tumbling from your lips

* "no, no, don't apologise, it's okay, it's all right," Joshua crooned, running his hand through your hair

* he started singing softly to you and this time you knew the song because it was his

* poor Joshua was so worried

* he woke up from his nap with Seungkwan standing over him, looking worried

* Joshua sat up and touched his cheek, and found that his face was wet with tears

* he'd left a large tear stain on the couch as well

* he brushed off everyone's questions, quietly explaining that he didn't have an answer either

* and tried to resume life as normal

* but it was no secret to Seventeen that Joshua's soul bond was through his dreams

* so not only was he worried about you

* but the entirety of Seventeen was worried about both you and Joshua

* meanwhile you were doing everything in your power to get to Korea

* a few of your friends pitched in money for plane tickets

* and one day the friend of your friend who was responsible for getting you into Seventeen arrived, brandishing a sheet of paper

* "look on me ye mighty and despair... actually no, just stand in awe of my power," she declared, and handed you the paper

* "you're going to a Seventeen fan meeting."

* you couldn't help hugging her even though you two had literally interacted once when she gave you a white version of Teen,Age with a Joshua photocard and desk stand

* and so you made it to Korea safely

* that night you saw Joshua again for the first time since the crying thing

* "are you all right?" he asked, concern written large on his beautiful features

* you smiled, wrapping your fingers around his hand

* "I'm great," you replied

* Joshua decided to let it go

* and the next day was the fan meeting and high touch

* not gonna lie you were panicking

* Joshua was feeling really antsy for some reason too

* he felt like he had fire running through him instead of blood

* he got sat on the end of the table so he'd be the last person you touched whoopsa

* and all proceeded mostly as normal except Joshua and you were getting very hot and incredibly antsy

* you were fidgety throughout your interactions with the rest of the members, distractedly mentioning that you were a new Carat

* your eyes kept flicking to Joshua when they weren't looking

* when you got to Joshua he dropped his pen in surprise

* wordlessly, he almost threw himself across the table and gently touched your cheek

* and the air around you two exploded in light and bright sparks like fireworks

* next to him Mingyu had to make a quick escape to avoid being scorched

* the light died down and Joshua stammered an apology to you

* you smiled, reaching up to brush his messy hair from his face

* "it's all right," you whispered. "I'm here."

* a staff member came up and tapped Joshua's shoulder

* they asked him to translate asking if you wanted to wait in the back for him

* you decided to be snarky and replied in fluent Korean that you'd very much like to, thanks

* so they guided you to the back room amid cheers and applause from Carats and Seventeen and the clicking of cameras

* so many Joshua fansites had a field day

* getting pictures of him being adorable and blushy the rest of the event

* and when everything was finished Joshua ran to you

* the rest of Seventeen decided to give you privacy

* "so... I guess you know everything there is to know about me... I just don't know your name," Joshua said with a laugh

* you introduced yourself, and Joshua repeated your name with that beautiful soft smile

* he shyly pulled you close, tucking some hair from your face

* "y/n, may I... may I kiss you?" he breathed

* you laughed slightly

* "you don't have to ask permission," you whispered back

* so without another second of hesitation he closed the gap between you

* unfortunately Seventeen had just decided that you two had had enough private time

* so they busted into the room

* cue screaming and covering Dino's eyes

* now it was time to work out the finer points of being Joshua Hong's soulmate

* the company decided that since you had so publicly united then there should be a vlive announcing it right away, but otherwise, you should temporarily stay out of the public eye

* you and Joshua were fine with that — you needed time to properly get to know each other.
