Dear Anon! Thank you for your request. I’m so sorry for bringing this post after such a long time, but it’s here finally. I hope this scenario finds you well and that you will enjoy it! :) 

[requested] [fluff, birthday] [Word Count: 3,242]

It’s the night of your 19th birthday. You and your friends go out to celebrate how you got older by a year again. Everything goes well until one of them finds a fortune teller on the side of the street. First, you think it’s stupid and there is no way she can tell your future. But your friends force you to sit down. 

“When I take a look at your hand, I can see that you are living a happy life but you are deeply missing something,” she starts and you kind of roll your eyes because anyone could come up with something like that. 

“You are finding the right way in school and among your friends too but there is something very big missing from your life, I can feel it,” she continues then she takes out a deck of cards. “Choose four” she orders and with a little hesitation you take out four cards from the deck.

The fortune teller looks at the four chosen cards on her little table then she turns the first one. “This card symbolizes your love life. Here the woman in white tells that you live a pure romance life which means you are not in a relationship.” Well, that’s true, you think for yourself. “Then the next card tells the future for your love life. Oh, this is actually a good sign.” She exclaims then she turns the card towards you. “This is the Cupid, which means soon you’ll find your love. Let’s see if it’s going to be successful or not.” She says and as she turns the third card, she sighs deeply. 

“Is there something wrong?” You ask, starting to believe her words. 

“This new romance that is waiting for you will not be successful at first. But if you both work hard for each other, then you can be in a long-lasting relationship,” she explains and your furrow your eyebrows. You try to put together what she means. 

It don't matter, be combative or be sweet cherry pie It don't matter just as long as I get all you tonight

It wasn’t Valentine's day, yet your boyfriend, Joshua was waiting for you by your apartment with a bouquet of red roses. But when you arrived downstairs and spotted him, your jaw dropped. 

He did not look like his usual self. You were used to seeing Joshua as the sweet gentleman who can sometimes be cheeky, but regardless his Jesus loving, polite side never left him. But the way he was standing there, with a black leather jacket thrown on his right shoulder, ripped jeans, combat boots, a black choker, and you guessed that he probably had some eye make up on as well, he looked everything that he is not. 

“What happened to my boyfriend, what did you do to him?” You ask him as you finally approach him after you collected your jaw. 

“Why, baby girl don’t like this kind of look?” He asks while cocking his eyebrow. You almost choke when he calls you ‘baby girl’ and you stop for a second in front of him. 

“Oh my god, what has gotten in you?” 

“I just thought maybe for today I should show you my other side... my darker side. I changed my concept... how do you like it?” He spins around, and when he faces you again, there is a huge annoying smile on his face. 

“Did Wonwoo and Minghao lend you some clothes?” You ask with small giggles as you try to not laugh in his face.

“Perhaps or maybe I already owned these...” he shrugs, playing the cool dude. 

"Yeah, and what did you use them for? A Halloween costume? Priest gone goth?" You laugh finally, and Joshua sighs deeply. He lowers his shoulders and the bouquet in his hand. 

"Ah, darling at least for this day can't you just let me have fun as a bad guy?" He whines now with his usual tone and pet name. You step closer to him to caress his face, which is oddly hairy... he was preparing well for this day. 

"If that's what you really want, then let's do it," you nod, and he plants a small kiss on your forehead. Which feels itchy after his hairy face. 

"Take these upstairs and until then I will get our bike here," he says then he hands you the bouquet and you start to go upstairs. When you reach your apartment door that's when it clicks in your head, what did he mean by bike? 

When you got back downstairs, for your even bigger surprise than before, Joshua was standing there with a smaller motorcycle. He held the helmet in his hand and when you stepped in front of him, with a confused look, he just simply put it on your head. 

"Auch," you whine and he bops your nose in response. "Can you even drive a motorcycle?" 

"Well I practiced for a week so I hope I'm not going to fail now," he says as he sat on the vehicle. When you met Joshua he looked like a prince charming who only missed a white horse, but this time... this dark concept Joshua with his velvet motorcycle made everything different. But at least the modern-day horse was not missing anymore. "Get on baby girl," he says as he reaches out to help you sit behind him. 

At first, you struggle since the helmet closed off most of your senses, but once you find your comfortable space behind him, you feel at ease. "Hold on tight," he says and you snake your arms around his waist. With your big helmet head, you lay down on his back and start to get yourself ready for a wild ride. 

Joshua quickly puts on his own helmet and starts the motorcycle. At first, when he struggles to find the balance, you finally realize, your gentle boyfriend is actually taking you on a motorcycle ride in the city. That seems extremely dangerous... but also very hot. 

"Ready?" He yells back so that you can hear his voice besides the engine's deep roar. You yell back to him but you can't even remember what you say as in that moment he is already making the motorcycle move. 

The wind lifts up your hair that is escaping from the helmet and even if you are holding tight onto Joshua's waist, it feels like as if you are flying. Your heart beats so fast and there is a lump in your throat. You try to catch air but it's hard when all the wind just piles up in your face. You feel Joshua's body tense up as he focuses on getting the two of you safely to your destination. 

You arrive in an abandoned parking lot and you are glad it’s still mid-day as if it would be after dark, the place would look extra creepy. Joshua hops off from the motorcycle and helps you get down as well. He takes off his helmet and shakes his hair almost in slow-motion, to give that cool vibe effect. You smile at him for trying so hard to be his darker side. 

“So, what are we going to do here?” you ask as you look around. The place doesn’t look all that promising, instead, it’s just a worn down industrial building with broken windows and part of the roof tiles missing. You see people go in and out but their look doesn’t give you optimistic feelings about the place. 

“Let me show you some of my new friends,” he says and takes your hand in his. You can already tell this is not going to end well. 

You walk through a double door that is barely hinged to the wall and inside a surprise waits for you. The place is actually a club that looks much better than the building on the outside. There is a bar on the left that is almost as long as the building. Bartenders are busily making drinks and have small talks with customers. The neon lights coming from the ceiling make it look like as if it’s already dark outside and the only life is here in this club. EDM music is being played from the DJ’s booth that is on the other end of the building. Even if it’s only 3PM, there are dozens of people dancing and drinking. 

Joshua drags you to a group of people who are sitting by the dance floor. There are comfortable looking white leather armchairs and sofas, with a glass cafe table in the middle. The guys sitting there are a little bit older than Joshua and they are dressed pretty much the same as him. You can tell they are also bikers as their helmets are laying around them. When they spot Joshua, their eyes brighten up. 

“Hey homie, it’s good to see you!” One of the guys says with a heavy Californian accent. 

“What’s up Blake,” Joshua greets him then the others with a fistbump. “This is my girlfriend y/n, please be nice to her,” he adds and you blush. 

“Ah, Josh talked so much about you already. We were kind of bored by it, but now I understand why he is so head over heels for you,” Blake says and you blush even more. 

“If you don’t mind it, we are going to get something to drink,” Joshua says, cutting Blake off from even more flirting. The two of you fight yourself through the crowd and finally get to the counter. 

“Two vodka sodas, please,” he says gently to the bartender. You look at him in disbelief. 

“Do we really want to drink vodka this early in the day?” You ask him while you show your watch. Joshua gives you a cocky smile. 

“Relax babe, we are here to have fun,” he says with a deeper voice and he leans in to kiss your neck. 

“Well that’s exactly what I’m worried about,” you snort but you can’t deny that Joshua’s behavior makes you feel more heated. 

When your drinks arrive, you wait for Joshua to take a sip. He is hiding his reaction but when he takes a second sip you can see it on his face that this kind of drink is not really his style. You swallow your laugh and instead try the drink yourself. It actually doesn’t taste too bad. Sure it’s strong, especially if people are not used to it. But could be worse. 

You glance on the side and see Joshua looking at you with wide eyes. “I can’t believe you are taking it better than I do,” he smiles. 

“Maybe I should be wearing that leather jacket instead of you,” you wink at him and suddenly he blushes. This tells you that despite trying so hard to unleash his dark side, he is still the same Joshua as he always was. 

“So where did you meet these guys?” You ask him as you turn on the stool to face him. Before you lose your balance, Joshua holds onto you. It’s probably the drink going up in your head. When you sit more securely, Joshua places his hand on your thigh and starts to draw small circles with his thumb. 

“Hansol got to know these guys because he ended up playing online games with them and he talked about their lifestyle. I thought it might be cool to have conversations with them, especially since most of them are from California. I told them it would be cool if for a day I could be like them and surprise you, so they gave me a bunch of tips and helped me learn how to drive a motorcycle. They might seem intimidating at first, but they are really cool guys,” he explains and you study his face while he talks. You can see that this whole bad guy mask is off. 

“You know I love you just the way you are, you don’t have to be a bad boy for me,” you shrug and he smiles widely. 

“I know honey... I was just excited to try out something else. But by the day ends, I will be the same Joshua as before,” he adds but you wave him off. 

“If you like these guys and this place then we can come here often... it’s just you don’t have to change your closet and the way you talk for that. You can be the regular Joshua and still enjoy these stuff,” you reply as you look around in the club. You actually kind of like the place too, it has a great vibe. 

“You are the best girlfriend I could get,” he giggles and leans in to kiss you. While you start kissing, he pulls you off from the stool and walks you to the dance floor. The two of you start dancing and since it’s an upbeat song, you start jumping around and losing your mind. 

The beat drives you on and the two of you have a great time. There are some songs that you are familiar with so you shout the words out loud. The two of you only drank one glass of the drink but that was more than enough. You are drunk on your love anyway, and drinking would just make your experience worse. 

So deep, your DNA's being messed with my touch Can't beat us So real, fueling the fire until we combust Can't touch us

You end up kissing a lot and the dance floor gets even more heated. After an hour of dancing and jumping around, you decide to sit down by Joshua’s new friends. They are playing games on their phones so they don’t really care about the two of you. You just softly cuddle and whisper in each other’s ears while he is caressing your hand. He sometimes plants small kisses on your cheeks and breaths in your scent around your neck. It feels like as if only the two of you are there, as you close out the sound of the music and of the many other people who are there in the club.

It gets close to 10PM and you both feel like it’s the perfect time to leave the club, especially as both of you are starving. 

“I’m going to leave this beauty here as it belongs to Blake,” Joshua says as he pats the motorcycle. “Should we just get a taxi and go to Shake Shack for a late dinner?” He asks while snaking his arms around your waist. 

“Sounds good to me,” you nod and then he takes out his phone to call for a taxi. 

The day ends with him walking you home from dinner and you can see that this bad boy image is fading away. Sure he is still dressed in the same dark clothes, but everything else is now back to normal. 

“It was a fun day, but I’m happy that my boyfriend is back,” you say as you hug him. He chuckles and kisses the top of your head. 

“Maybe next time for Halloween we could dress up as a badass couple, especially you as you seem to be tougher than me,” he winks at you when you get released from his arms. 

“I don’t think you want me to be badass, it might be painful for you,” you say with a cheeky smile and he gulps. 

“Well I guess I should go before I do something unholy,” he laughs and you say goodbye to him, but before you enter the building you turn around to see he is still standing there. 

“What if I show you a sneak peek of my bad girl side,” you call out to him and Joshua’s eyes wide once again. 

“Honey, what are you doing to me?” He asks with disbelief. 

“Come upstairs and you will see,” you say as you enter the building. Joshua is right there following you not even one second later. 

“But I have to be home by eight in the morning you know,” he says with a serious face. 

“Ah you are such a baby,” you reply while pinching his cheek and he lets out a soft giggle. 

“Okay but I should text Seungcheol where I am just in case if I don’t make it back to the dorm alive,” he adds and you roll your eyes. 

“Don’t worry I’m not going to be doing an exorcism on you,” you laugh and Joshua lets out a relieved sigh. 

Dear Followers,

We would like to apologize for going on such a long (and kind of unannounced) hiatus but we were caught up deeply with school work while also life was just happening with loads of stress. We hit a writer’s block, whenever we wanted to bring new content, we didn’t have too many ideas or even when we did have ideas, we just felt too exhausted to make them come to life. But that made us feel even more stressed because we love this blog, Seventeen, and Carats so much! 

2019 is coming. Finally a new chapter (starting with a winter break!!) and we feel like Seventeen might be planning something huge for the new year. And we do too! We have many ideas and we hope that we will be able to bring them to you. We appreciate it that besides being so bad with updates and new posts, we still have so many people follow our blog and engage with our posts. Thank you for being here for us even after all this time. 

We wish you Happy Holidays, and a great Seventeen filled New Year. 💖

With Love,
