pairing: SCOUPS x reader genre: confession, friends to lovers!au, fluff type: oneshot, bulletpointsummary: You're Joshua's cousin and you met seventeen in person for the first time, but one caught your eye you met him through JoshuaJoshua was your older cousin and when you decided to move to korea for college, joshua brought you to their studio to introduce you to his friends and bandmates they were all very friendly and welcoming towards you and you thoroughly enjoyed their companyhowever, you felt more comfortable towards the leader, seungcheol. somehow, you always managed to sit close to seungcheol. whether or not you guys were having a meal together or a movie night. seungcheol made sure that you felt comfortable at all times and cracked jokes with you that helped made you feel more at ease you also noticed the small things he would do for you, such as slowing down to walk with you, lending you his jacket or sweater when you were shivering however, you also don't realise his looks of affection whenever he looks at you, how his heart rate increases whenever you visit or the smile that erupts unconsciously whenever you laughed at his jokes. you felt yourself falling for seungchol. you would get nervous whenever you guys were walking and your hands would accidentally brush against each other. or how good his clothes smelled and how you always find his lips, thinking about how soft they would feel against yourshowever you were scared as well, scared that it might cause a dent in the good relationship joshua and seungchol shared. most importantly, you were afraid of any signs of unrequited feelings. you've had crushes and boyfriends before sure, but seungcheol was different. you never really made the first move before and you were scared of the judgement seungcheol might make of you. thus, you gradually drifted away from the group of boys. Dinner dates? oh sorry, college has been really busy i don't think i can make it. movie nights? school was so tiring i don't think i can stay awake for it, what about next time? there was no next time. you don't realise that you've been excluding yourself from anything seungcheol related. seungcheol was worried. he hasn't seen you in almost a month and his heart aches that there was a possibility you might not visit anymore or want to be friends with him and the group anymore. he knew it was all lies. from the way you typed out your excuses in the group chat and your hesitant voice whenever he called and asked about you. you only replied in short sentences and didn't even ask about his day.he was not angry, but he was definitely stressing over the fact that he's losing you when he haven't even gotten the chance to have you. seungcheol fell for you the moment he saw you, even though you had just landed and you needed a place to stay for one night before moving in, so the manager allowed it. your hair was still in a messy bun and you were dressed in a crop top and oversized jeans. You were wearing your glasses and your face was free of any make up.it still made seungcheol's heart skip a beat at how adorable you were. he caught onto the romantic feelings he had for you earlier and even consulted joshua about it. joshua was calm about it as he trusted seungcheol but made sure to threaten seungcheol if he ever mistreat you. you were definitely isolating yourself nowand when you didn't reply to the group chat and ignored his calls for almost 4 days by now. it was the last strawseungcheol reassured joshua that he would go and check on you at your apartment. yes, he has been to your apartment, when you had to move in all your boxes of stuff sent from home, he was there with you.he still remembered the amount of fun he had, assembling furniture with you and repainting some of the walls in your apartment.he felt a little nervous as he stood outside your door and knocked. you were not replyingseungcheol took the extra key beneath one of the potted plants and opened the door. immediately he heard sounds of coughing and groans coming from your room. he rushed to find you in a burrito of blankets and you sweating profusely."Y/n, omg we leave you for how many days and you've gotten yourself sick. where's the medicine and thermometer" seungcheol spoke frantically you weakly pointed to the cabinet at the side of your table while seungcheol rushed to grab them he took your temperature and furrowed his eyebrows when he realised you were literally burning up. he took a small towel and a pail of water. wetting the towel and placing it on your forehead, in hopes of bringing your temperature downall the while you stared at him with hazy eyes, thankful you fell for this man and also how sad you felt knowing the woman who was going to date him would be so lucky "i'm going to cook some soup for you okay? don't move, be a good girl" he slowly patted your hair and moved it away to prevent it from sticking to you face.maybe it was the fever but you were feeling more brave that day. "nooooo seungchol no, please don't go. stay, stay with me" you whined with a pout seungcheol looked at you lovingly before kissing your forehead, "aigoo my baby, if i don't make that soup, you won't be able to get better. it'll only take a while okay?" you blushed and hoped seungcheol assumed it was just the fever when really, hearing him call you his baby was literally your favourite ever.seungcheol also noticed what he said after leaving the room, biting his lip in order to stop the heat from rushing into his cheeks the members took shifts to take care of you from that day and it only took you two days to recover fully. you also realised that everytime there was a new shift, seungcheol was always there for you.and you decided it was only right, to share how you felt and why you felt that way about him, even if he could not reciprocate it. it was a friday night, and you recently went back for movie nights. tonight was no different. you realised that there were not enough food so you announced that you were going to buy more at a nearby restaurant.seungcheol agreed to follow you since it was pretty late out. you kept trying to find the right moment to express your feelings but you couldn't find it what you didn't know was that seungcheol was also thinking about confessing to youand finally after you gave up and told yourself there would be another chance for you to tell him, a hand softly grabbed onto your arm "y/n" seungchol said softly you turned around to face him, only to find him blushing. "i've been meaning to tell you from that day, i'm sorry that i called you 'my baby' and you felt uncomfortable about it. i really really like you and i should've told you first. i know you don't feel the same way but i hope we can still b-" you stopped him by closing the distance between you guys you softly grabbed his beautiful face with your hands and told him, "seungcheol i like you too. a lot actually and i loved the way you called me 'your baby' you don't have to apologise for it" he looked at you, eyes wide and shocked for a moment before he snaked his hands around your waist and pulled you flush against him."can i take you out for dinner, say tomorrow?" you nodded excitedly he continued with a large smile, "will you also be my baby officially?" you replied him by pulling his face closer and planting a kiss onto his lipshe held you close and deepened the kiss you guys went for more dates, and soon all the members knew about your status as boyfriend and girlfriend as well.you never regretted falling for your man, choi seungcheol
