#horanghe

“Wait… yeah,” Joshua chimed in, scooting closer. “You’ve been quiet all week. Did something happen?”

All at once, thirteen pairs of eyes were on you. You froze, caught.

Your throat burned. “…I just miss home.”

The room went still. Not their usual chaotic “Hoshi just set something on fire” silence. No. This was soft. Heavy. Understanding.

Joshua leaned in, gentle as always. “You mean… your family?”

You nodded, voice wobbling. “I haven’t been back since we debuted. That’s almost ten years. Even on breaks, I stayed here because flying back and forth is too much. Everyone else at least sees their families sometimes. But me? I don’t even remember what my parents’ kitchen looks like anymore.”

Your chest tightened, tears threatening. “I just… miss home.”

The members reacted like you’d just punched them all at once.

Dino immediately grabbed your sleeve, wide-eyed like a puppy. “Noona… why didn’t you say anything sooner?” Vernon muttered, “That’s… heavy,” voice low with guilt. Woozi’s brows furrowed, his tone firm but worried. “You shouldn’t carry that alone.”

Seungcheol, the leader, knelt in front of you. His voice was steady but warm. “Y/N, you’re not a burden. Ever. We’re your family too. But if you’re hurting, we need to know. Okay?”

The words broke something in you.

And then Seokmin leapt across the room like a human missile. “GROUP HUG EMERGENCY!!”

Before you could react, thirteen grown men flung themselves on you in varying degrees of force. Mingyu crushed you. Hoshi yelled dramatically in your ear. Vernon somehow got his elbow into your ribs. Seungkwan was crying harder than you were and accusing you of making him emotional.

It was suffocating. It was chaotic. It was home.

The Plotting

Later that night, when you had gone back to the dorm and collapsed into bed, the remaining thirteen gathered in the kitchen like they were planning a heist.

Seungcheol slammed his hand on the table. “Okay. We’re fixing this.”

“Fixing what?” Jeonghan asked, already peeling an orange like this was casual.

“Our sibling hasn’t seen her family in ten years,” Seungcheol hissed. “That’s unacceptable.”

Joshua nodded, calm but firm. “We can’t let her keep carrying that weight.”

Hoshi raised his hand like they were in class. “Operation: Bring Y/N’s Family to Korea!”

DK gasped. “Yes!! A surprise reunion! Like a drama!”

Seungkwan slapped the table. “No, like Going Seventeen. We make it content.”

Woozi side-eyed him. “Not everything is content.”

“But imagine the views,” Vernon mumbled, sipping water.

The room buzzed with ideas.

Jun leaned forward. “We could fly them here secretly. Get them a place to stay. Then—bam!—they show up when Y/N least expects it.”

Minghao nodded. “She thinks she’s filming… but instead, she gets family.”

Joshua smiled. “That’s perfect. Something like a beach house episode—relaxing, natural, no suspicion.”

“WAIT,” Hoshi yelled, slamming his palms on the table. “WHAT IF THEY WALK INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND HER PARENTS ARE JUST SITTING THERE LIKE A PLOT TWIST—”

“Hyung,” Dino groaned, “that’s literally what we just said.”

“No no no, listen,” Hoshi insisted, wild-eyed. “We put dramatic music. Like—dun dun DUN.”

Seungkwan facepalmed. “This isn’t a movie. This is Y/N’s life.”

But the plan was forming. Quickly.

Seungcheol divided tasks like the general he was:

Joshua & Jeonghan: Contact Y/N’s parents discreetly.

Mingyu & Vernon: Arrange flights and hotel.

Woozi & Dino: Distract Y/N during calls so she doesn’t notice.

Jun & Minghao: Handle logistics—drivers, translators, scheduling.

Seokmin, Seungkwan, Hoshi: Plan the Going Seventeen cover story.

“Perfect,” Seungcheol said, satisfied. “We’ll surprise her during filming. She’ll finally have her family here.”

“And she’ll cry,” Seungkwan said, dabbing at his own eyes already. “Like really cry.”

“Same,” DK admitted.

“Hyung, you cry at chicken commercials,” Vernon muttered.

“Shut up!”

They broke into chaos again, but the plan was set.

The next few days were a whirlwind of secret late-night calls, hushed meetings, and the world’s most suspicious excuses whenever you walked into the room.

“Why are you whispering?” you asked one morning.

“Uh—uh—uh—” Hoshi stuttered, nearly choking on his cereal. “Practicing ASMR,” Seungkwan blurted. “…in the kitchen?” “Yes.”

You narrowed your eyes. But you let it go.

The surprise was safe.

The Cover Story

“Today,” Seungkwan announced dramatically into the opening camera, “we will be filming at a luxurious beach house.”

“Luxurious?” Woozi deadpanned, eyeing the two-story house behind them. “It looks like an Airbnb.”

“Shhh!” Seungkwan hissed, already in MC mode.

The members bounced with fake excitement while you adjusted your hat against the sun, clueless. “What’s the episode concept?” you asked curiously.

Jeonghan smiled way too innocently. “Relaxation day. That’s it. No missions.”

You narrowed your eyes. No missions? This was Going Seventeen. These men didn’t know how to relax even if you tied them down. But you shrugged, deciding not to question it.

Big mistake.

The Arrival

The house was cozy, filled with natural light and the faint smell of salt from the ocean. You wandered around, camera trailing you, taking in the décor.

That’s when you heard it.

“Y/N.”

You froze. The voice was soft, familiar, impossible.

You turned.

There—sitting on the living room couch—were your parents.

“…Mom? Dad?”

Your voice cracked. The room blurred.

They stood, smiling with tears in their eyes, and suddenly your body moved before your brain caught up. You ran, full-force, collapsing into their arms.

The cameras caught everything: your sob, your parents clutching you tight, the way you buried your face in your mom’s shoulder like you were a kid again.

Behind you, thirteen boys crowded the doorway, all grins and watery eyes.

“She didn’t expect it at all,” Minghao whispered to Jun.

“Of course not,” Jun said proudly. “We’re too good at surprises.”

Seungcheol cleared his throat, trying to hold back his own tears. “Y/N… you’ve worked so hard all these years. You missed them. So… we brought them to you.”

You whipped around, eyes shining with tears. “You guys did this?”

Joshua nodded gently. “Family shouldn’t be apart for that long.”

“And also,” Hoshi interrupted, throwing his arms dramatically, “because we are the BEST brothers in the entire universe!!”

Everyone laughed through their tears.

Except Seungkwan, who was already sobbing into DK’s shirt. “Why is this more emotional than a K-drama finale?”

Chaos + Parents

The cameras followed you the whole day, and if viewers thought this would be a calm, heartfelt reunion, they were wrong.

Mingyu immediately dragged your dad into a sandcastle competition, turning it into a full-on engineering project. (“Sir, we need structural stability, please assist.”)

Dino clung to your mom, proudly introducing her as “my mom too now.”

Jeonghan shamelessly tried to charm your parents. (“See? Aren’t I your favorite child already?”)

Vernon secretly filmed you sitting with your dad on the porch, the ocean behind you, both of you just… talking. Later, he admitted it was his favorite moment.

Inside, Hoshi attempted to teach your mom the “Left & Right” choreography. She actually nailed it better than he did. Cue everyone screaming.

Woozi even cracked a smile watching it happen.

The Dinner Scene

That night, they cooked together.

Joshua and Seungcheol handled the grill, Mingyu chopped vegetables like his life depended on it, and DK nearly set the kitchen towel on fire. (Saved by Woozi, who scolded him like a furious dad.)

You sat at the long table between your parents, surrounded by the thirteen boys you called family. The food was warm, the laughter louder than the waves outside.

At one point, your mom raised her glass of juice. “Thank you,” she said, voice thick with emotion. “For taking care of our child when we couldn’t be here.”

The members went silent, moved. Then Hoshi ruined it by yelling, “WE’LL TAKE A BULLET FOR HER!” and nearly choking on rice.

“Hyung,” Vernon muttered, “calm down.”

But you couldn’t stop smiling, tears still drying on your cheeks. For the first time in years, you didn’t feel the ache of missing home. Because it was here, in this moment, with them all together.

Ending Scene – Confessionals

The final Going Seventeen clip montage showed snippets:

Your tearful hug with your parents.

Mingyu and your dad’s absurd sandcastle.

Dino hanging off your mom’s arm like a koala.

Hoshi leading a chaotic family dance circle in the living room.

Then came the confessional interviews.

Seungcheol: “Y/N always carries burdens quietly. We just wanted her to know… she doesn’t have to.”

Joshua: “Family is more than blood. But it’s also important to feel your roots again.”

Mingyu: (sniffling) “I cried like… three times today. Don’t tell anyone.”

Seungkwan: (full-on bawling) “It was so beautiful!! Our Y/N! With her parents! Like a dramaaa!!”

Jeonghan: (smirking) “Her parents like me best, by the way.”

Woozi: (sighing) “It was worth all the secret planning. She looked… happy. That’s all that matters.”

The last clip was you, smiling shyly at the camera, your parents sitting just off-frame.

“I thought I didn’t have a home anymore,” you said softly. “But today, I realized… I have two. One with my parents. And one with SEVENTEEN.”

The screen faded to black.

Home isn’t always a place. Sometimes, it’s people.

✨ The episode trended worldwide. Carats everywhere cried with you. And you? You went to bed that night in the beach house, surrounded by the sound of your members snoring, your parents nearby… and for the first time in years, your heart felt completely, utterly full.

[STAFF CAPTION: “end of episode, but the chaos never ends”]

• S. Coups I mean, let's be honest for a hot second. He is daddy. He is a brat tamer, he is such an alpha type. You just look at him and you know he wears the pants.

In public, he will always have a protective hand on you. If you are somehow separated, his eyes are always glued to you. You are just his to protect and heaven forbid someone who was dumber than dirt tried to flirt or even say "hello" to you. They will get the death glare from you and he will be by your side before you can even respond.

In private, I see him to be really into worship/soft dom. I feel like he gives "scary" or "hard dom" vibes but to me... he's just a simp lmfaoooo. When y'all have sex he wants to make sure you are happy and pleased. I don't see him really being mean unless he needs to fuck the stress out or if you did something in public that set him off and he needed to show you who was in charge. If he ever did get rough, expect a lot of romantic aftercare where he is very soft with you. It would be different from the Seungcheol who was balls deep just a second or so ago I tell you what.

• Woozi This might be a controversial take but honestly it makes sense. Jihoon has a gaze that screams dom. Especially if involved you? People would know you were Jihoon's and Jihoon was yours.

In public, he would be a lot less touchy then Seungcheol. He isn't a fan of PDA as it is but he would always be next to you and would always have you close by. If you were to be a brat or if anyone looked at you a way, one look from Jihoon would have you by his side and the other person backing the fuck up.

In private, it would depend on his mood but almost always played the dominant role. Sometimes he would be subby if you had been a good girl/good boy. However, he loved to be in charge and be the reason behind your moans. He would love to watch your face scrunch and hear you scream his name. It was music to his ears.

• Mingyu This husky, golden retriever, whatever the fuck is such a clingy dominate person. It's the Aries in him. Like before I even knew he was an Aries, I could just tell. He's so husband, protective, and such a stud muffin and when it came to you, he would make sure everyone knew who you belonged to.

In public, I can see him kissing you in front of others just to remind everyone that you were his. He tried his best not to be but he could get jealous pretty easily. So he would love if you were wearing his clothes in public or if there was hickey on your neck. He'd find it so attractive. If you happened to brat while in public, he'd laugh it off but pull you closer and say "just you wait until we get home Jagi." njftgijftgiewhb.

In private, it depends if he is jealous and bossy or happy and horny. He is one of the boys that's mostly excited to be involved (lmao) but when he gets into his jealous and bossy modes he won't go easy. One of the first conversations you had when first talking about sex was a safe word because he knew he wanted to push you to your limits when he was in this mood. He's the type to ask "who is making you feel this good? Not that bastard. It's me." lmaooo lord help me I just got biased wrecked by my own writing. pls hekppppp

• Wonwoo I feel like a lot of writers claim Wonwoo to be one of the most dominant members in Seventeen and trust me I agree. However, I feel like he shows his dominance more in secret and private but if you brat it up in public, oh ho ho. good luck bestie. In public, people would just know that Wonwoo and you were a couple and not because of PDA or anything like that. Wonwoo wouldn't be like Mingyu and kiss you in front of everyone but he would stare. Like, if you were at a party or something like that, he would be watching. If you were talking to anyone he would be staring and make sure they and you knew and remembered who you belonged to. If you had decided to be bratty and fake flirt with someone. You would feel his hand wrap around your waist and he'd cut the conversation short and well... you both would be going somewhere private asap so he could remind you again who was in charge.

In private, ahahahaha cue kinky tumblr posts about this man lmaooo. They say the quiet ones are the freaks and yeah he is. Like Seungcheol, he's a brat tamer. tbh i think out of all of Seventeen he is the best with Seuncheol or Joshua following close behind but that's a discussion for another time lmaooo. Anywhore, Wonwoo would be a soft dom, a hard dom, a kinky dom, anything dom tbh. He would want you to feel good and it makes him feel good to be in control.

• Jeonghan This angel is also a demon, we know this. However, his dominance isn't in a sexual or "it is I who wears the pants in this relationship" type of way. It's more of him showing that he is playing the role of boyfriend and wanting to protect you. It's more of a caregiver type of vibe then a "I wanna rip Y/N's clothes off right when possible" which he does but shh but more of a "this is my person who I love more than anything else in this world. In public, you both would be near each other and would hold hands whenever possible. He'd be so domestically dom where he would hold doors open for you when you were going into buildings. When you would go into cars he would put his hand above your head so you wouldn't hit your head. He'd just be such a gentleman where his actions just proved to you and others how much he loves you.

In private, oh me oh my. It depends on the mood but honestly I see him as a silly lover but when he gets really really turned on where his eyes darken with lust, he will take care of you in ways that go beyond your own fantasies. Hell, even his own. The way he would fuck you into oblivion would be both romantic and kinky as hell. You loved getting manhandled by him, especially since it was so rare for him to do so.

• Hoshi Ok, so Soonyoung is such a touchy and clingy bitch which is why I say he'd act dom both in public and private. I feel like he would not be afraid to show you off and let you be bejeweled. (sorry listening to Taylor Swift rn my other hyperfixation LOL) He also would not be afraid of showing others that you both were together.

In public, his hands would ALWAYS be on you or near you. They would roam constantly, Your hand would be in his, his hand would be on your thigh, his hand would be on the small of your back or hell even on your hips. When I say everywhere I literally mean E V E R Y W H E R E. There would be no chance for you to brat or do anything to make him get a little possessive which was completely fine. If you were to kiss him at the event y'all were at and some of your lip gloss or lipstick stained his lips he would not wipe it off at all.

In private, I can see him being all about you. He'd be a lot like Seungcheol where he would be so needy and soft dom. I do also think he is part of the line where he is just happy to be involved lmaooo. Your sex life with Soonyoung would be fun. A lot of giggles and love were shown in your sessions. The times where it would be rough-er, he would use his horanghe instincts i'm not sorry and would just ruin you.

LEAST:

• Seungkwan I feel like Seungkwan is such a shy bean when it comes to being in love with his pookie but he also is a silly goose. I feel like his "dom"ness in public would be more of a meme but he also would stand his ground if he really had to.

In public, people would know you were together but not because of skin ship or stares like the previous guys. They would see your playful banter and the chemistry was just chemistry-ing. If some poor soul thought to try to hit on you, Seungkwan would either side eye and intervene or just laugh. No in between imo.

In private, I see him more of a switch. idk why but I can see y'all doing rock paper scissors before sex sometimes just to see who is doing what lmao. Winner of these rock paper scissors would be the dominant one. When he won, he would attempt to get into character and honestly, you would laugh in his face and he would prove to you how domkwan he could be.

next part lol

DOM ONLY IN PRIVATE

MOST:

• Joshua Oh Shua, Shua, Shua. I know some might put him in the previous category sometimes but I think not. I think he is more of a "wait until we get home" type of fella. His eyes would do the thing he does and that's when you would know you were in for a fun night.

In private, it is a bit hard to predict what Jisoo would do. He's fucking insane but in the best way. I could see him pinning you against a wall as soon as y'all got home and would say shit like "oh, so you think you're single huh? Think it's time for your reminder of who you belong with." If he was jealous or upset, he would like to dom just to prove to both of you that your relationship was secure. I feel like he is one of the more hopeless romantics of Seventeen.

• Minghao Minghao is honestly such a lover boy and honestly both of you are wrapped around each others finger. I feel like when it comes to relationships, he wouldn't mind showing you off in public but acting "dom" in public would not be something he would want to do. I feel like he'd want to let you be your own person and he would just be there for the ride. If anything he'd look more like a simp and just give heart eyes

In private, brat tamer. He knew how to keep you in your place especially if you were being a little shit. He'd be the type to giggle at your actions before pinning you to a wall and asking you to "come again, baby?" If you bratted in private, he was all about it because he knew you only did that if you were in a subby mood. If you were bratting in public, the bedroom would be even spicier because "it's like that huh?" ewhjrbewuOB lmao

• Jun He's quiet. Highkey, from my expertise of whoreology the quiet ones are the most freakiest and I can see Jun being a switch but more dom leaning. He wouldn't show it in front of others because he's shy but oh me oh my. You knew how dom he could be when it was just you two.

In private, he would be about you. Whether he was domming or subbing it was always about you. He was so curious about you. He was like Seungcheol in a way where when domming where he was soft and just worship you. When domming he'd be a smiling mess and would just love teasing the shit out of you. Honestly, in bed he'd be such a shit but neither of your friends would guess it lmaoooo

• Dokyeom Ok so Seokmin has his moments but this man is such a simp. If anything, you gave off the "dom" vibes in the relationship LOL. I feel like you both would be so down bad in your relationship it was almost too sweet. Seokmin would do anything for you, but domming in public? I could see an attempt happening once but it would end up in both of y'all in hysterics because ????

In private, if you wanted to be dominated Seokmin would dominate you. Sub/dom roles aren't a necessity in your relationship or sex life and that's not a problem. When Seokmin dommed, he would love to have you in missionary while holding your hands and just making love to you. When he was topping, he would make sure you were okay and was just such a soft dom. He would worry about doing hard dom stuff like Mingyu, Seungcheol, or Wonwoo. He would need you to basically beg on your knees and promise him 194676 times that you would tell him if he went too rough.

• Dino Like Mingyu, Soonyoung, Jun, and Dokyeom he is also someone that is usually just happy to be involved lmao. He is very soft and shows that he is with you in public but it's not in a "she's mine fuck off" type of way like some of the others would be. It was more of a "I'm down bad for my baby" type of vibe aww

In private, similarly to Seokmin, I can't really see dom/sub being a super prominent thing in your sex lives. I get that is a hot take but idk, I feel like Chan is a silly lover like Jeonghan. Actually I see him being very similar to Jeonghan. However, when Chan would want to be more "Dom" it would because you joined in with "bullying"/"teasing" him with his hyungs. When y'all get home he would start off with "hmm (Y/N) you think you are so funny huh?" then he'd take you to bed real quick.

LEAST:

• Vernon Look, Hansol is also apart of the "I'm just happy to be involved line." In general, his love language would be so subtle that sometimes it would seem like y'all were more besties then together. However, you both understood where you stood and honestly that was all the mattered.

In private, I can't see him being dom at all. I don't really see him even being a sub. When y'all were doing the do, it was mostly making love and pretty vanilla. I can see it being a bunch of goofiness too with a lot of kisses and I love yous. He'd just be so soft and down bad in bed. It's honestly so cute. lmao Vernon soft sex drabble coming soon?
