Lead by Kim Junmyeon, the heir to Kim Enterprises, he took over the family business when his father passed away, but little did he know he would have to continue his father’s darker legacy and supremacy as well. Those loyal to his father decided to leave and work elsewhere, or retire as assassins and henchmen, which left Junmyeon with the task of building the next generation of the company. He adopted a new goal, which was not money unlike his father, no…rather something a bit more sinister…success, retribution, and dominance… these titles and statuses obtained using any means necessary…

Requested by: Anonymous “Can you do an au where the reader is a female idol and she’s Filipino :) and she gets shipped with one of the boys and their relationship is real cute? Idk you decide what happens”

— — —

Ever since Seventeen and your own groups collaboration last year at MAMA you had been shipped with Joshua. At fansigns and on social media you would be asked constantly about the American. Fans asked you if the many rumours and fanfictions were true, and you were certain he was getting the exact same questions.

Even your own group had joined in on the shipping. Whenever you were waiting in the corridors to go on stage with the other groups, one of the girls in your group, Hayan, who you considered to be your closest friend with a short bob hair cut, always dyed another bright colour and always with an equally bright smile on her face, would ‘accidentally’ push you into or in front of the group of boys. Joshua would always be the one to help you up, your friend probably running away sniggering to herself.

From the corner of your eye you swore you could see the other boys pushing Joshua towards you every time which just made the situation more embarrassing for you. Did he think you were falling to get his attention and was just playing along to be polite? Technically that was the reason, but it wasn’t your choice. Or maybe he just thought you were clumsy? You got enough injuries anyway without getting pushed around.

—

Life continued on for another few months. The endless shipping still going on between both fans and friends - even the camera crew for your tv appearances got in on it. Every time without fail the camera would pan first to Joshua as he brightly smiled and waved at the audience and then to you, making the fans scream even louder than before.

But these were the only interactions you had with him. Other than thanking him for helping you up when your friend was on her 'mission’ as she called it and awkwardly smiling at him at brief encounters in busy corridors or on stage, you had no reason to interact with him.

However, even if you never actually spoke, you felt a sharp pang in your chest whenever he softly smiled back and your hands always felt fuzzy as you watched him walk over to his group once you were back standing. It happened so often but you could never figure out why.

Your first thought was to go to Hayan as she seemed to think that she knew everything there was to know about you and Joshua’s so called feelings for each other, but her answer was already obvious to you.

“OUR (Y/N) HAS A CRUSH! I KNEW IT!” she would exclaim. “HAH EVERYONE OWES ME NOW. I’LL GET YOU A DATE DON’T WORRY, (Y/N)!”

Telling her would just give her the boost she needed to throw you and Joshua in a cupboard together. So not wanting to annoy Joshua anymore than you probably already had, and not wanting to waste your own time, you decided to keep your worries to yourself.

But keeping your thoughts to yourself just made them grow larger and larger, and you found soon enough Joshua was all you could think about.

/'Screw these fans,’/ you thought bitterly. /'And Hayan. They’ve infected my mind with Joshua.’/

You had always felt a great need to please your fans, which was quite normal. They were the ones that had helped get you this far after all. So whenever you weren’t busy practicing, you were doing a vLive or on Twitter talking to your fans, taking in all they had to say to help improve your performances. But their ships should stay as ships. Hearing fans talk about your love as if it was real was messing with your head, that’s all.

“YAH, (Y/N)!” Hayan shouted from the door of your dressing room, causing you and the other girls to jolt awake. She ran into the room and jamp on to the sofa next to you, pointing frantically at the tv. “Seventeen are on next!” The girls grumbled to themselves as it wasn’t really as important as Hayan had made it out to be, but they all watched anyway.

You watched in awe as Jun performed his solo on the piano with Hoshi dancing along to it before the other members appeared. It was amazing. Your mind became fuzzy trying to think of words to describe the performance as your eyes unknowingly followed a certain dark haired member. In what felt like seconds it was over and soon enough the vocal unit was back onstage to sing their song Habit.

Even with the surge of emotions that you were feeling as you watched Seventeen’s performances, it wasn’t until the last song, Clap, that you finally understood what you felt. You felt your eyes following Joshua this time, and there was no way you could stop it. You needed to watch every little movement he made, listen to every word he sung. His voice was gentle but everything else about him felt so powerful.

That was when you realised that you really did have a crush on Joshua Hong.

—

Life continued as normal after that. As your groups schedule became busier, thoughts of Joshua got pushed to the back of your mind. But you couldn’t really escape from him. Hayan would wiggle her eyebrows and make kissing faces if he was nearby, the other girls sometimes joining in. And of course fans still commented about the ship a lot, but thankfully for you the other girls ships had started to become more popular, which took you out of the spotlight a bit.

Now you were sitting in your groups waiting room waiting for your turn on stage for a tv performance.

“Hurry up, (y/n)! We need to greet our seniors now or we won’t have time,” your group mate, Xiu ushered you out of the dressing room and dragged you though the crowds of staff, the other members just in front of you.

Xiu is from China, although her Korean is so good that it can be hard to tell. The entire group is quite diverse with a lot of it’s members being from other countries, like Xiu who of course is Chinese, Hika who is from Japan, but moved to Korea as a child, and yourself from the Philippines. Only Hayan and the leader Jinun are Korean.

“Ok, ok. No need to drag me,” you said, removing your hand from Xiu’s grasp and rubbing it gently with your other hand. “Who are we greeting anyway?”

“Seventeen!” Jinun called, briefly turning around to face you, a smirk apparent on her face. Hayan was unusually quiet. Usually she’d take any mention of Seventeen as an opportunity to tease you.

You sighed, not protesting partly because you knew it would cause more hassle than it was worth, and partly to convince yourself that there was no reason you shouldn’t want to greet them.

There was a chorus of “hellos” and “good afternoons” from the girls including yourself as you entered Seventeen’s waiting room, bowing at the boys. The boys cheerfully greeted you all in return.

“Joshua? Can you get my phone from the other room? I think I’ve left it there,” Jeonghan asked his friend, the simple request sounding more like an order. Although the two of them are the same age Joshua didn’t complain, just smiled apologetically at the girls before exiting the room. Out of the corner of your eye you swore you could see Hayan and Jeonghan encouragingly put their thumbs up at each other, you guessed it was just to politely say “do your best.”

Seventeen and your group spoke for another few minutes before you left to get back to your own waiting room.

“(Y/n) can you get us some water?” Hayan asked you, holding you back just as you neared the corridor to your waiting room. “I think there’s some in there - ask some staff if there’s not,” she added, pointing at an ajar door across from you.

“Isn’t there some in our room -”

“- Nope.” You sighed. Not wanting to argue with the older girl, you went in to quickly collect the water.

But there was no water in the room, instead there was a man crouched in the corner searching for something on the floor.

Everything clicked immediately in your head, a click coming from the direction of the door at the same time to confirm your suspicions.

“I am going to kill that girl,” you muttered under your breath. You pushed on the door as quietly as you could as to not disturb Joshua, but behind you he was already standing, slowly making his way towards you, his eyebrows furrowed in both confusion and concern.

“(Y/n)? What’s wrong?” he asked, stopping just behind you. His voice was quiet as to not alarm you as he could see how tense you were, but you still jamp a little after hearing him.

“I’m fine, Joshua,” you smiled hesitantly. “Sorry, my friends are just being a bit annoying right now.” You tried the door handle, banging the door with your other hand, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Oh,” Joshua said, his voice dropping a bit as he realised what was going on. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said anything to Jeonghan.”

“W-What did you tell Jeonghan?” you stuttered, curiosity getting the better of you as your mind flooded with ideas of what they could’ve been talking about. Joshua hesitantly opened his mouth to reply, but before he could speak a burst of vibrations came from your phone.

“You should see what that is - it could be important,” suggests Joshua. You nod and take the phone from your pocket. Unsurprisingly to you it was Hayan spamming you with texts.

Hayan :

(Y/nnnn) ;)

…

FIRST OF ALL IT WASNT MY IDEA

it was Jeonghan’s so don’t get mad ok?? :3

one of you better say something or you’re not getting out

or do somethingg ;)))

but you better make it quick bc we’re on soon ;33

Not bothering to reply, you stuff your phone back into your pocket.

“What was it?” Joshua asked after a few moments of awkward silence.

“It was nothing. Just a friend,” you say, your eyes falling to the ground to avoid Joshua’s gaze as he seemed to be deep in thought. Though as soon as you looked down he did the same.

“I guess I should finally tell you then. That’s what will get us out of here, right?” He gave an awkward chuckle. You nodded, unable to think of anything to say. “Considering the situation it’s probably obvious, but I like you - like really like you. You’ve been all I can think of these past months. I’m sorry if I’ve caused you any bother because of the shipping and right now. I don’t expect you to like me back, it’s just it was now or never to tell you.” He paused, you could tell he still wanted to say more, but like you his mind was probably a mess right now, making it hard for his words to truly express his feelings.

“I like you too, Joshua,” you said, your voice faint as you were still in slight shock from his confession. “For once the fans are right,” you added in a small voice, taking your eyes off the ground and looking in to his which were already fixed on you. His smile grew brighter and he gave a silent laugh of relief.

“Can I k-” Joshua began after a short, pleasant silence as he took a few small steps towards you, leaving only a few inches between you. However, he was interrupted by loud knocks on the door, you could tell that it was more than one person.

“(Y/nnn)~” Hayan called from the other side of the door, stretching out the end of your name. “Did you do it? You didn’t answer my messages so I came to tell you not to go too far.”

“I told her,” Joshua replied before you could tell off your friend.

“Told you.” You heard who you guessed was Jeonghan say triumphantly. Hayan groaned, they must’ve made a bet. You sighed to yourself, making a mental note to tell Hayan off later.

“Anyway, I’m gonna unlock the door now, so come out when you’re decent,” explained Hayan.

“It’s not like that and you know it,” you snapped at the older girl, making your cheeks turn even redder than they already were.

“You can never be too sure,” she replied airily just as you heard a click from the door. Joshua opened it, letting you both out.

“Sorry, Joshua,” Jeonghan laughed, holding up his phone, “I had it after all. Anyway, we need to go, we’re on next. You can talk to your girlfriend later.”

Joshua nodded at Jeonghan’s words before turning to you. “I didn’t ask actually you that in there. Will you be my girlfriend?”

“Of course.” You nodded, a bright smile on your face. Joshua returned the smile before turning around and following Jeonghan. “Wait!” you blurted, grabbing hold of Joshua’s hand. “Earlier.. What were you going to ask me?” you questioned hesitantly.
