Description

when joshua sends an order for fried dumplings to the Seventeen dorm in the middle of the night, he doesn't actually expect to fall for the delivery girl.
Foreword
"Jisoo doesn’t know what obliged Joshua to come, but it’s… it’s good that it happened. No matter how unethical the method of infiltration. But at least, in the semi-darkness, she’s not thinking about how much money she’ll need for the bill, how much worry and disarray she’s caused- no. In this darkness, the thoughts clear away like tell-tale thunderstorm clouds, and although it’s not sunshine just yet, her worries don’t hound at her like it always has."
He wonders if she’s okay sometimes. If she ever hurts her arm while carrying bags of fried pork and soup containers. If she’s safe on the road; if she’s cold at night when the rain falls. Did she bring a raincoat? Is she speeding? Does she ever sleep enough?
Joshua wonders a lot about Jisoo.
Sometimes too much."
seo jisoo isn't a damsel in distress - the scandal that destroyed her career and her life isn't going to bring her down. not just yet. seo jisoo works hard.
but she isn't getting paid, and living expenses do exist, unfortunately. when jisoo is forced to find a job outside of her crumbled idol career, she stumbles into an unexpected solace that involves midnight food deliveries, busking in face masks and her idol name twin, Hong Jisoo.
meanwhile, joshua falls for the girl whose arm he screwed over, and goes down when he realizes that what he feels is beyond infatuation and initial fascination.
[the AU where jisoo meets jisoo on the pretense of unwanted circumstances and forge friendships and more despite that fact that they've both slipped unfortunately into the idol life]
warnings; [confusion between two different "jisoo"s (it gets better though, it's switched to joshua when they're tgt)], [swearing?], [very bad sleeping habits (have u tried it bc i have and i crashed horribly after a week)], [the romance is weird], [this was supposed to be a oneshot]
basically: this is set in real life, after Seo Jisoo (lovelyz)'s fake scandal and a few months after 17 debuts.
