(It's only chapter 1 and I already got trigger warnings. If you get easily triggered/uncomfortable, I had the content labeled for you.)
It started as a normal day for Jun. Classes going as normal, expect for that one class. After school, his dance classes.
**
The end of the day came around and Jun made his way to the auditorium.
"Class, we have a new student from China. Treat him well." Our teacher announced.
"Hello, everybody. My name is Xu Minghao, but you can call me The8." The boy bowed.
He had ice-cream colored hair and looked so inoccent just standing there.
"Hm..." the teacher hummed in thought. "Let's see. For now, Minghao, you can go here. And I'll have to find someone to teach you the coreography..."
"Okay, I have decided to put our school in the up coming dance competition. Jun, would you be able to teach Minghao the coreography? By at least next week?"
Jun nodded.
"Okay. Class! Let's get started with rehearsals. Practice room. Now." The teacher yelled.

Minghao POV
8:45PM
I took the bus home after practice.
I made my way out of the dark and into the comfort of my shared apartment with Soonyoung.
"Minghao! How was practice?" Soonyoung came down stairs.
"It was good. There was this boy there. I think it was Jun or something. But he was real-"
"Oh no. No, no, no, nononono. No." Soonyoung cut me off.
**
It was Saturday today and Soonyuong was getting ready to go down to the orphanage to visit the children.
"Yah! Minghao, hurry up! Everyone is outside waiting!" Soonyoung rushed.
Mighao ran down the stairs, almost tripping over the bottom step. "Oops. Let's go."
**
10 minutes went by as they made their way to the gate of the orphanage.
Soonyoung opened the door and walked inside. Immediately, he was greeted by a hug from the youngest of the children, Chan; or Dino as he liked to be called.
"Soonyoung! Is Minghao here?" Dino asked as he looked at Soonyoung. He nooded.
"Minghao!" Chan ran to him, almost tripping over his feet.
"Careful. Don't rip your stiches." The three of us laughed.
"Okay, mom." Chan said, sarcastically. "Hey, guess what? We got a new kid in the orphanage. His name is Seokjin and he's real nice."
"Really? Where is he?" Minghao asked as he picked up Chan.
"In the kitchen; helping Mrs. Yoon with the dishes. We're getting ready to eat." Was Chan's reply.
"Seokjin! I brought the people I was telling you about!" Chan yelled into the kitchen from the living area.
A boy with blonde hair appeared in the doorway, as he slowly walked over to the three.
"This is Kwon Soonyoung and Xu Minghao."
"I'm Kim Seokjin." The small boy bowed.
"Hello, Seokjin." Mighao smiled and Seokjin returned the gesture.
**
Hours went by and by the time Soonyoung and Mighao had made it home, it was at least 10:30pm.

Soonyoung POV
10:30PM
"So, about the boy you were talking about earlier?" I asked.
"Oh yeah. His name is Jun. He kept looking at me funny. I wanted to say something to him about it, but every time I tried, I would get nervous. It's weird." Minghao said.
"I know the feeling. He has that affect on everybody. Something is off about him. I can't find out what, though. I don't want you around him, okay." I told him and laced our fingers together.
The reason is because I don't want to lose him. And Jun will take him from me and kill him like the last one.
"Why?" Minghao spoke, breaking the scilence.
It's because I don't want to lose you.
"I just don't want you around him. he's a fuckboy and the only thing he wants is your virginity. I want you to stay my innocent best friend." I told him.
Minghao sighed. "I can't do that..." He spoke.
"Why?"
"He has to teach me the dance we're learning..." his voice was strained and quiet.
"That's okay. Just don't fall for his tricks. I know how naive you are sometimes." I laughed.
Minghao lowered his head, as if he were upset. I hugged him and rested his head on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" I asked. I felt his head shake as a no to my question.
"Talk?"
"Please."
"Tell me."
"Well... I just remembered some things... From back in China." Minghao sighed. "I knew he wouldn't have recognized me. Why did I even try to come here and chase after him... I'm so fucking stupid, Soonyoung. He was so nice back then... He didn't try to hurt ohters... But I guess he's changed a lot."
I just nodded. "Jun, right?"
"Yeah..." I saw tears coming from his face.
I wiped them with my thumb. "Don't worry about him. Okay?"
"I wanna show you something." Minghao told me, taking my hand in his. I followed as he lead me to his room.
"You never let me in here..." Soonyoung said, quietly.
"Sit."
I sat down and Minghao pulled out a large box from under his bed.
"This is why. I always keep it locked and don't let you in here..." He opened the box.
(Here is where I would suggest that you stop resding this here if you get triggered or uncomfortable easliy.)
Pieces of paper with words written on them, razors, and knives were in the box.
"It was just last night, that I pulled it out... And.. Feelings overwhelmed me. I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't mean it... It-I-" Tears formed and his eyes were glassy.
"Get up here." I told him. He sat down and I went to the floor to put all of it away.
I pushed it far under his bed, up against the wall. And sat back on the bed.
"How many?" I asked, seriously. Minghao just shrugged.
"Xu Minghao." I said sternly. "How many?" I asked again.
He shrugged and pulled up his sleeve. I sat, shocked. His arms covered in scars. I pulled his sleeves down and wrapped my arms around his small frame.
Minghao began to cry again as I held him in my arms, swaying to calm him down. After about 30 minutes of just swaying back and forth, Minghao lifted his head. "Feel better?" I asked.
"Much."
"Please, don't ever hurt yourself that much again. At all even. I will always be here for you. No matter what. I don't care what it is. Never will I ever leave you. Understood?" I asked, moving stray strands of hair out of this face.
He nodded before speaking. "You mean it?" His voice was strained.
I nodded. "No matter what."
"In that case..." Minghao took a deep breath. "I've wanted to say this for a long time. Ever since I met you, the day I got here. It was always you. The first person I would go to. I couldn't get along well with anyone else. Soonyoung, you helped me through so much. I remember the day we met at the orphanage..." Minghao smiled. "It was then when I knew that we would be the best of friends. But now... It's so much more I want to be."
"Like what?" I asked.

"This." Minghao said before he pressed his lips onto Soonyoung's.

Anyone else think Zootopia is a good movie? Lile, I get it, it's a Disney movie, but like- It's really good???
Anyway, what do you think about this chapter? To much? Not enough?? Should I add more detail in the next chapter?? It honestly took me an entire month to write this since I kept changing it.
In the first week of this idea, there were about 10 changes in the ships.
Wanna know an underrated ship?
S.Coups and Dino. Wonwoo and Jun. Minghao and Soonyoung.
Me: I can't ship any other member of SEVENTEEN with Minghao and Jun other than Minghao and Jun. Like any ship with them that isn't JunHao is just no.
Also me: *Making a SoonyoungxMinghao fic*
Anyway, I'm gonna go now.
Bye, loves.
