The clock had inched its way to about 2 PM, and the members of Seventeen were finally stirring, albeit a bit reluctantly. Their relaxed day off was in full swing, and the tantalizing aroma of a meal wafted through the air, reaching each of their rooms, luring them out of their beds and into the dining area.
Seungcheol, in his pajamas, was the first to arrive at the dining table. His hair was a messy tangle, but his appetite was wide awake. He took a moment to appreciate the spread before him, laid out by the diligent house staff.
Jeonghan, true to his habit of taking his sweet time in the bathroom, entered the room next. He sported an oversized shirt and a pair of comfy shorts, his signature locks tousled in a way that looked deliberate rather than chaotic. A sleepy but content smile crossed his face as he plopped into his chair.
Joshua had managed to sneak in some extra rest, but the aroma of the meal worked its magic. With messy hair he greeted the room with a pleasant, "Hey, guys," as he joined the others.
Jun, with his calm demeanor, sauntered in next. There was a noticeable hint of bedhead, but he wore it with that air of mystery that always clung to him. He regarded the table with the cool nonchalance only he could muster.
Minghao arrived, his presence even quieter than usual. It was as though he had just rolled out of bed and onto his chair, yawning softly as he sat down.
Woozi, the ever-devoted workaholic, entered, still fussing with his laptop and scribbling notes on a sheet of paper. His hair messy... face bore the look of someone who was in the middle of an important task but he literally jyst woke up.
Wonwoo, the bookworm of the group, appeared next, his hair slightly disheveled, holding a novel in one hand. His sleepy eyes darted around the room, looking for a comfy spot to read.
Hoshi, perpetually filled with energy but looking like a zombie, danced into the room, even if it was a slow, morning shuffle of a dance. His bed hair had taken on a life of its own, adding an extra touch of hilarity to the occasion. "What's cookin'?" he greeted.
DK, a perpetual ray of sunshine, came in with one open eye and a smile as wide as the sun itself. He wore a t-shirt that proclaimed 'I woke up like this' and had the bed hair to prove it.
Vernon, unruffled and cool as ever, strolled in. His calm was almost comical compared to the messier morning appearances of the others. He settled into his seat with a nod.
Seungkwan was next, his dramatic flair evident even in the morning, as he entered, throwing his arms out and exclaiming abd trying to open his eyes, "Ta-dah! The star has arrived!" He wore an elaborate robe over his pajamas, of course.
Dino, the youngest of the group but often the most responsible, joined the others, wearing a hoodie that was about three sizes too big. He yawned and stretched in a way that made everyone around him yawn too. The room slowly filled with chatter, punctuated by sleepy smiles and hearty laughter.
As the members chatted and enjoyed their lazy morning, it didn't take long for their playful banter to turn mischievous. They noticed that Mingyu and Yn were still sound asleep...
Seungcheol, with a sly grin, decided to break the ice. "Hey, guys," he whispered, "how long do you think they'll sleep? I bet they could win a 'World Record for the Longest Morning Nap'."
Jeonghan, always ready for a bit of mischief, chimed in, "Let's take bets! I say they'll wake up at 4 PM."
Joshua joined in, laughter dancing in his eyes. "I think we should leave them a 'Do Not Disturb' sign and have lunch."
Minghao, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, suggested, "Or we could start a guessing game about what they're dreaming. Winner gets... bragging rights?"
Woozi decided to play along, even if he was initially engrossed in his notes. "I'm game. Mingyu's dream must involve... giant gummy bears."
Wonwoo, whose nose was still buried in his book, muttered, "And Yn's probably in some... K-drama romance plot."
Hoshi couldn't resist adding a twist. "We should totally make up a ridiculous story of what they're dreaming. The funniest one wins!"
DK who usually brightened up any room, thought for a moment. "I bet Mingyu's dreaming he's a secret agent, and Yn's the mastermind behind all the world's gummy bear heists."
Dino, who had been quietly listening, couldn't resist joining in on the playful banter. "I think Mingyu's dreaming that he's a superhero, and Yn is the journalist trying to uncover his secret identity," he said with a mischievous smile.
But!!!
Something instantly drew the attention of the others who fell into hushed laughter as they look on the top of the stair!
Yn, with a cute bedhead and the remnants of sleep still in her eyes, appeared at the top of the stairs. She yawned widely, barely able to stifle another yawn, and stretched her arms above her head, making her way down the steps in a slow, half-awake shuffle. With a sleepy, bemused expression, she finally reached the group. "Good morning," she mumbled, her voice still heavy with sleep.
The others greeted her with warm smiles and a chorus of "Good mornings." Their playful teasing subsided as they welcomed her into the morning banter, savoring these light-hearted moments.
As Yn joined the group, her appearance sparked another round of laughter, and they couldn't help but chuckle at her disheveled, sleepy state. She pouted playfully, knowing that she was the source of their amusement.
"Wow, Yn, you look even more adorable in the morning," Seungkwan teased, grinning widely.
Jeonghan added, "It's the 'just rolled out of bed' look. Very fashionable."
Yn, her cheeks turning a slight shade of pink, crossed her arms in a mock stern manner. "Laugh all you want, but I'm here for food. Where's the coffee?"
Seungcheol, ever the gracious host, led her to a chair with a playful smirk. "Right this way, ma'am."
As breakfast continued, Dino couldn't resist adding to the playful teasing. He looked at Yn with exaggerated seriousness and said, "You know, Yn, I heard that sleeping beauty had nothing on you last night."
Yn raised an eyebrow, playing along, "Oh, is that so? Was there a prince who woke me up with a kiss too?"
Dino didn't miss a beat, "Well, we were all up for breakfast, but Mingyu-hyung was busy in his own fairytale."
This comment sent everyone into peals of laughter, including Mingyu, who had just made his entrance into the dining area. He ruffled Yn's hair and said with a wink, "Sorry for being the prince of this story. Did I miss anything interesting?"
As Yn giggled at the playful banter, the rest of the twelve members seized the opportunity to make fun of Mingyu. They started a hilarious chorus of comments...
Seungcheol, with a mischievous glint in his eye, chimed in, "Mingyu, if you keep being a 'prince' every night, we'll have to put a tiara on you."
Hoshi added with a smirk, "You know, you're not a true K-drama star until you've woken your sleeping beauty with a dramatic forehead kiss."
Wonwoo, always the calm and collected one, teased, "Just remember, Mingyu, real-life fairytales have their share of dragons. Don't be surprised if Yn's the one who slays them."
Laughter echoed through the dining area, with Mingyu joining in on the fun himself. The lighthearted atmosphere showed how they had come to embrace the depth of their friendship, finding humor even in the most unconventional situations. Yn couldn't help but feel incredibly blessed to be a part of this peculiar but utterly endearing family of hers, united by love, laughter, and a fairytale or two.
While eating they planned to do something fun. After they finish they started a game.
Seongcheol, always the reliable leader, decided to take Yn under his wing. "You're with me, Yn. We've got this!" he said with a determined smile.Of course, Seungkwan joined Team A while Vernon became part of Team B. They rearranged themselves and got ready for the game with their new teams
The teams were divided as follows:
Team A (Seongcheol's Team):
- Seongcheol
- Yn
- Joshua
- Woozi
- Hoshi
- Dino
- Seungkwan
Team B (Jeonghan's Team):
- Jeonghan
- Mingyu
- Wonwoo
- Jun
- Minghao
- DK
- Vernon
They gathered in the living room, where Mingyu scribbled down various words and phrases on pieces of paper. Each person took turns drawing a word and acting it out, while their team members tried to guess what it was. The competitiveness kicked in immediately, and the room echoed with laughter and occasional shouts of frustration as they guessed and mimed their way through the game.
Hoshi, being the bundle of energy he was, had everyone in stitches as he tried to act out "spaghetti." Meanwhile, Seongcheol did an impressive rendition of "Eiffel Tower" that left Yn quite impressed.
As the game went on, Yn, despite her initial shyness, got into the spirit of things. She laughed, she mimed, and she even got Jeonghan to guess "kangaroo" by hopping around the room, earning cheers and applause from the group.
The rivalry between the two teams intensified, with each trying to outdo the other with their creative interpretations of words. Jun's attempt at "toothbrush" involved him pretending to brush his teeth, complete with exaggerated gargling sounds, which had everyone in stitches.
Jeonghan, being the theatrical member that he was, put on a show when he had to act out "pirate." He donned an imaginary eyepatch, shouted "Arrr!" and brandished an invisible sword.
Mingyu, usually cool and collected, surprised everyone with his antics. When "penguin" came up, he waddled around the room with his arms flapping, much to Yn's amusement.
The game continued for hours, and by the end, everyone's cheeks hurt from laughing so much. Team A, led by Seongcheol and Yn, narrowly clinched the victory by correctly guessing "mop" while Team B struggled with "washing machine."
As the losing team, Team B had to perform a hilarious dance-off. The living room turned into a dance floor as Jeonghan, Mingyu, and the rest of the team showed off their best dance moves, with DK stealing the show with his energetic breakdancing.
It was an afternoon filled with laughter and camaraderie, a stark contrast to the serious and dangerous world they inhabited. The game had brought them closer together, and as they sat down to enjoy a well-deserved meal, they couldn't help but feel grateful for the moments of lightheartedness in their complicated lives.

The members began planning their menu for a special dinner together, discussing their preferences and sharing ideas with the resident chefs:
Seongcheol:"I think we should have some grilled chicken. It's always a crowd-pleaser."
Joshua: "Yeah, grilled chicken sounds good, and maybe some garlic mashed potatoes to go with it."
Yn: "I'd love to try my hand at making a salad. A fresh, crisp garden salad with a homemade vinaigrette."
Woozi: "How about a hearty vegetable soup to start? I can whip up a great one."
Hoshi: "Don't forget some rolls or bread. We need that for dipping in the soup."
Dino:"I'll take care of dessert. How about a classic chocolate cake?"
Seungkwan:"Can we have some cheesy garlic bread too? It's always a hit."
Jeonghan: "I'm in the mood for some seafood. How about a creamy shrimp alfredo pasta as a dish?"
Jun:"A pasta dish sounds good. I'll make a classic spaghetti aglio e olio."
Wonwoo:"Let's not forget some sides. prepare some roasted vegetables, maybe with a balsamic glaze."
Minghao:"I'd like to try a traditional Chinese stir-fry dish. It's quick and delicious."
DK:"That sounds amazing! Let's make it a feast. I'll work on a cheesy lasagna."
Vernon: "And How about a refreshing fruit punch?"
The diverse menu planning continued, and it was clear that they were aiming for a feast with a variety of dishes to cater to everyone's taste. With their menu choices finalized, the members informed their chefs – Mr. Sung, Mr. Jae, and Mr. Bok – about the dinner plans. Each chef got to work, meticulously preparing the ingredients and planning their culinary masterpieces. It was a collaborative effort, with the chefs excited to create a sumptuous feast for the entire Seventeen gang. The kitchen soon became a bustling hub of activity as they worked in harmony to prepare the evening's delightful meal.
