[Oneshot/Final/Complete] Nightmare

Joshua's Scent

Who knew something strange will happened just because they forgot Joshua even just for abit? It all started when Vocal Team forgot Joshua twice. First one was Vocal Team went outside to eat which was reveal in YangNam Show then the second one was where they have to create a theme song for a show and they forgot to call Joshua. On the normal days when they got guesting, Joshua doesn't talk too much and it was alright with him as long as he sees everyone having fun. Some fans notice it and couldnt help but feel sad towards Joshua. 

 

When the haters learn about it, they began to attack Joshua by saying mean things to him like "he wasnt talented" , "he isnt needed in the group" , "Seventeen is better without him" and the most hurtful comment was "See? Seventeen doesn't need him, they even forget him." After the fans read that, it cause an uproar and they began to protect the gentleman knowing that the said gentleman was the most fragile member of the group.

 

Unbeknown to everyone, Joshua read all of it and he just sigh and turn off his phone and lays on his bed. He couldn't help but feel sad. He was alone in the dorm while the others went out to get midnight snack. How did he know? He saw the ongoing vlive. He curls himself while laying down and hugs his legs,  looks outside the window as tears roll down from his eyes. 

 

"Would it be better if I disappear? Do they still need me? They didn't intended to forget me...right?" He said to himself as he notice something wet hit his knee and he just notice that he was crying. He just laughs at it until his laughter turns into a sob and he sob harder until he fell asleep.

 

After 5 minutes, Seventeen went home happily and tired. They decided to rest abit then went to their respective rooms and when Seungkwan and Dokyeom open their shared room, they notice Joshua who was sleeping peacefully while the moonlight shines on his direction. 

 

"... we forgot Joshua hyung..." was the only thing Seungkwan and Dokyeom could say.

 

They suddenly feel guilty to not notice Joshua wasnt with them. They hurriedly came out of the room and thankfully the other members are still there and they told them that they have forgot to invite Joshua. They all now feel guilty at not inviting him and thinks that Joshua must be lonely to be left out again. They decided to call it for a day and rest.

 

The next day came and as per usual, Seungkwan and Dokyeom were the first one to wake up and they didn't notice Joshua's bed is empty. They all came out to greet each other and they began to eat until S.Coups remember they have to think of a solution to make it up for Joshua. 

 

"wait where is Joshua hyung?" Mingyu asks since he notice there is a bowl of rice that hasn't been moved.

"still on bed I guess, wait let me check" The8 said and went to Seungkwan, Dokyeom and Joshua's shared room. 

The8  was shocked when he open the room only to find it empty and the bed was neatly arranged. He also notice that the stufftoys that Joshua has are missing and he is beginning to suspect that Joshua is missing so he decided to open the cabinets only to find Seungkwan and Dokyeom's clothings and the last cabinet was where the fans' gifts were stored. There are no signs of Joshua's items anywhere.

 

The8 hurridly went back to the dining area to tell them what he just found out. They began to panic and search everywhere for Joshua's trace but not a single track of Joshua was seen. S.Coups began to call their manager hyung, hoping that he knows something about Joshua's whereabouts.

 

"hello? Seungcheol, what's the matter?" Doogi asked through the phone.

"hyung, Joshua is missing! Do you know where he is?!" S.Coups said with a hint of panic laced in his voice.

"huh? what are you talking about? Joshua who? Cheol, are you alright? There is no Joshua here." Doogi said without any hint of joke in it.

"y-youre kidding right hyung? c-comeon... tell me where Joshua is hyung, don't hide him" S.Coups said as he couldn't believe what Doogi just replied to him.

"I am not Cheol, you can even look at the official page to tell if I am lying or not, you and the others must be tired, I will talk to the CEO and tell them to give you guys a rest." Doogi replied and end the call.

 

S.Coups still couldn't believe it and he began to look at the official website and  sees that "Seventeen, 12 members + 4 units + 1 group". He check the members and there  is no Joshua on the list, he check the teasers, mvs and the other videos and there is no Joshua on it.

 

He felt scared and told the others what he know. They began to argue and even begin to point at each other. S.Coups was in shock and told them to shut up and calm down, saying all of them are at fault. They began to sob as they can't believe Joshua isn't there. They became guilty for always ignoring him and now he is nowhere to be found, not a single trace.

 

 

Meanwhile at Pledis building,the CEO feels sorry for them after he heard the story from Doogi so he let them rest for a month and have their vacation. Doogi texted them about it so they know about the CEO's decision. S.Coups and the others decided to go to Los Angeles.

 

They disguised themselves so their search for Joshua won't  be a hassel. Vernon's friend who owns a van arrives and drives them to Joshua's house. They have arrived at Joshua's house and they were about to ring the doorbell but stop when they heard Joshua's voice and there he was, looking so handsome as ever and he was wearing a white longsleeves, black jeans and a brown sling bag while his black hair was hidden by a white cap.

"JOSHUA!" Seventeen shouted making Joshua starled and looks at their direction.

"huh? err....excuse me but um... how did you know my name? who are you guys?" Joshua said as he stay rooted at where he is standing.

"Joshua its us! your co-members!" Jeonghan said as he hold on the bars of the gate.

"Please stop joking hyung... comeback to us..." Jun beg as his tears falls.

"I'm sorry but I really don't know you guys...you must be mistaking... bye" Joshua said with a cold voice while deep inside he was confused and scared and turns on his back and went inside as they shout for Joshua's name.

 

They all began to wake up sweating and just found out it was just a nightmare. They all decided to barge in Seungkwan, Dokyeom and Joshua's shared room and saw Seungkwan and Dokyeom sobbing on Joshua who was sitting on his bed while comforting the two. They decided to join them while Joshua was sitting there confused why they are saying "Joshua we're sorry, please don't leave us".
