CHAPTER ONE

Just a Dream || Yoon Jeonghan Fanfic

At some point in time, Jeonghan had lost his wallet by accident.

Seventeen had a week off, and surely, they spent it locked inside their dorm waking up late in the morning and doing just whatever they want. For them, that was already a well-spent day. Going out was risky. There were fans here and there, and it'll be troublesome if they get caught. But Seungcheol, the leader of the group, decided that he wanted to spend some time outside and play basketball.

So at the very last day of their week off, they decided to do a morning jog to shake things up a bit after six days of imprisoning themselves inside their dorm. It was hard waking up the heavy sleepers like Mingyu, or the people who still didn't want to leave the bed like Jihoon, but they were able to get their butts off with the help of Seungkwan's usual good morning song to them.

Seungcheol and Jeonghan led the jogging. The members were all lined up by how awake they were. The last people were someone like Vernon who thought he was already wide awake after forcing himself out of the bed, only to realize that he was yawning nonstop while jogging. There was also Minghao who woke up two hours ago to eat a midnight snack, the number of hours he had slept wasn't enough to keep him fresh for today.

"Ah hyung," Soonyoung stopped his tracks, making his other teammates stop as well turning to him. "It's such a cold morning, I wanna go back to bed." He whined, his eyes nowhere to be found. Morning face Kwon Soonyoung always had his eyes at 10:10 every time.

"We'll feel sluggish when we get back on track again," Jeonghan explained, jogging on position, not stopping the momentum he had started. "Now chop, chop! We're gonna run around the Han River!"

Nobody complained after that. After Seungchol mentioning something about getting fried chicken for lunch later. They all became energetic and wide awake after hearing the food that they all love. Minghao exclaimed about having coke since they can never ever forget coke with fried chicken.

While jogging, they sang a few lyrics from their songs to keep them going. They would stop from time to time after being recognized by a few people, but at least they weren't by groups since that would really trouble them. They love their fans, but they also need time for themselves sometimes.

Wonwoo checked the time on his watch and announced that it was already past nine in the morning. As if on cue, they passed by an empty basketball court and there Seungcheol came running. He started dribbling the random basketball he found close to the rings and started telling his teammates to play rock paper scissors.

"I'll be on the winning side!" He announced, thus continued dribbling and shooting while he waited for the members to start grouping themselves.

The winning side consisted of Seungchol, Vernon, Joshua, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, and Jihoon. While the losing side had Mingyu, Jun, Jeonghan, Soonyoung, Dino, DK, and Minghao. Although the Chinese 97 liner wanted to back out to make the teams equal, they all still wanted him to join since it was only going to be a fun game.

"Don't worry, guys." Mingyu stood up tall and proud—he actually meant to do that. "I'm gonna win this for us with my height."

"... We're still screwed since they have Coups-hyung." Muttered DK ever so softly, but his teammates still heard him, especially the tallest male.

"No, we have Jeonghannie-hyung still. He'll give us points too!" Dino commented, raising his hand as though they were in a classroom.

Minghao and Jun were only able to nod.

They started the game with the losing team having the ball. DK was so close to shooting the ball in the ring, but Seungcheol just appeared all of a sudden like a mushroom and snatched the ball away from him. With this, Jeonghan had to chase their leader for the ball, but he was too slow to catch him, leaving the male shooting the ball to the ring.

But Mingyu came to the rescue. He jumped and slapped the ball away from the shooting ring before it could ever score. The ball went flying to Minghao who immediately dribbled it to the other side to shoot for his teammates. Then, Vernon, Seungkwan and Wonwoo teamed up to guard the Chinese as they find a way to steal the ball. Minghao could have run back, but there was Seungcheol close by, he didn't have any chance of escaping. So, he passed the ball up to Soonyoung who was close by—he failed on getting the ball. But thanks to Jun, they were able to keep the ball.

While Jun dodged the opponents by his surprisingly good footwork, he stopped abruptly when he heard a faint sound of a violin playing a song that was ever so familiar to them. Since he lost focus on the basketball, it was immediately snatched away by Joshua who zoomed up to the ring, went for a shoot, and score!

Jeonghan was about to scold their teammate, but seeing him looking all fazed made him curious about what took his attention. He went up to the Chinese and looked at where he was staring at. A girl was standing up by a bench playing the violin with a crowd of people listening to her. He noticed they were throwing money on her case which made him notice that she might be busking.

As he was about to call for Jun's attention, Jeonghan decided not to when he finally realized what took the male's attention in the first place.

The girl was playing one of their songs. "Boom Boom." The older male muttered as he finally synced the lyrics in his head with the violin playing.

The other members noticed how the two had just totally stopped. It made them pause the game and ask what they were doing.

"What's wrong, guys?" Wonwoo asked, who stood closest to Jeonghan and Jun.

Jun shushed the glasses wearing male and told him to listen. Wonwoo did what he was told and was immediately surprised after immediately recognizing the playing. He told the others who were still clueless about the violin sound, and together, they all stood there while listening to the music.

Jihoon probably enjoyed the most. He bobbed his head to the beat of the music, judging how perfect the notes were. "Daebak, did this person sneak into my studio and took the music sheet, because the notes are really on point."

When the music ended, they all paused for a moment and exchanged glances, smiling at each other for no apparent reason. It just somehow made him happy, there was this warm feeling inside them after hearing someone else playing their songs.

Seventeen didn't count the number of hours they spent on the basketball court. The only time they have finally decided to stop playing was when Seungkwan started complaining about how hungry he was. He had been telling them about it, but they decided to ignore him for a while since the game was neck and neck.

But when the game ended, the winning side won—hence their name—and the losing team was supposed to treat them for lunch. At this very moment, we can hear Vernon and Seungcheol cheering the loudest.

Mingyu sighed in frustration realizing that he was going to spend more money than he ever intended to. It was better cooking ramyeon at the dorm than treating half of the thirteen members.

From lining up to order and back to the table with the tray of food, Jeonghan couldn't stop complaining about their loss back at the basketball match. He would exclaim out loud things like, "If only Mingyu used his height throughout the game rather than bosting it, then we could have won." Or something like, "Of Hoshi-yan didn't throw the ball at The8, we could have gotten the lead."

As much as the members knew how savage their Yoon Jeonghan is, Minghao, Mingyu and Soonyoung couldn't help but pout for feeling guilty about the fact that they lost.

Just walking around Hangang Park with friends was satisfyingly enough. They went window shopping around for clothes—Minghao honestly wanted to buy some, but with his money right now, it was impossible. There were also a few inside jokes that they thought of while finding little things that Seungkwan and Soonyoung made fun of.

They arrived back at the dorm at around four-thirty. Jeonghan, being the one who kept the key to lock the dorm, walked in front as the leader. He stood in front of the doorstep and started finding the key he was sure he left in his wallet.

But the problem is, his wallet was gone, the key was inside it. He flinched once realizing what was happening, and still moved his hands inside pockets of his pants to act like nothing was wrong.

"What is it, Jeonghan?" Joshua was the very first person to notice the male's weird body language.

Something like "Oh, we're screwed." Was written on Jeonghan's face.

"Oh, um," slowly, he turned his head sideways to get a glimpse of his friends with an innocent-looking smile plastered on his face. "Nothing just... My wallet."

"What about your wallet, hyung?" Asked Jun.

Jeonghan's smile turned wider as though he himself was trying to deny the problem. But he had no way of tricking them especially Joshua who was already looking suspicious. "Well,"

"It's gone. The key and my wallet are not in my pocket for some reason..."

It took the twelve members half an hour for the thought to sink in. During that duration, they only froze as each of them was trying to comprehend it. It wasn't a big problem since Dino has the spare key, but then the thought of someone obtaining their key was already enough of a horror story for them to panic. They've heard of sasaeng fans from the other groups before and also had a few experiences with them. It wasn't really great.

Jeonghan felt a pang of guilt inside him. He was never absentminded about his things and yet he somehow lost his wallet. He let a sigh escape from his lips and told Dino to unlock the door for them. He hung his head looking down on the ground while making their way inside the dorm.

The thirteen boys were full of silence in the living room. None of them wanted to speak up as they each of them try to deny the fact that their key was possibly in someone's hands right now.

"Yah," Wonwoo was the very first person to finally speak up. "What if a fan got hyung's wallet and knew that the key was from this dorm?" He said. His expression was calm, probably the calmest in the group.

Soonyoung couldn't believe how the glasses wearing male could muster up a poker face at a situation like this, but he decided to shrug the thought off knowing Wonwoo always had that expression since joining the group.

"Wonwoo-yan, there's like a 0.99% chance of that happening." He said, trying to change the atmosphere as he noticed it getting heavier. "I mean, why would a person even try using it on different doors just to know where it would fit in? That's just weird and something a person wouldn't do."

"A thief might try?" Vernon suggested.

"How can we know the person is a thief?!" Exclaimed Seungkwan.

Everybody just suddenly started arguing, causing a huge commotion out of Seungcheol's control. He tried a few times squeezing himself in the middle to get his friends' attention, but they just wouldn't let him. Without any other choices, he yelled as loud as he could—goodbye, vocal chords.

And it worked.

"Yah! Arguing isn't going to solve anything! In the first place, you all should just calm down!" He faced Jeonghan and asked, "Is there anything else in your wallet besides your dorm key that we should all be worried about?"

Jeonghan shook his head, "Just the key, three thousand won and a piece of paper with my number."

Half of the members sighed in relief with an, "Oh."—but the other half had eyes widened like saucers. Once again, they were thinking of worst case scenarios.

"What if someone discovers it's your number and start sharing it with the fans?!" Soonyoung exclaimed. His voice sounded louder than before, must be due to the stress building up.

"You're thinking way out of hand, Hoshi. I can change my number for crying out loud," Jeonghan rolled his eyes, placing a hand on his forehead. "But that number is the only way I could get our key back."

What Jeonghan said made everyone think. Joshua realized that what they were worried about wasn't even a big of a deal. There's a one in a million chances of someone finding out it's their key, and Jeonghan can easily just change numbers if he begins to get strange text messages.

"Ah, I give up!" Jihoon exclaimed, ruffling his hair in frustration. "I'm going to sleep this off. Why don't we all do that?"

Vernon raised his hand, following Jihoon. "I'm up for it."

And slowly, the other members ended up hanging their conversation as they all disappear to their own rooms. The only people left were the '95 liners.

Joshua patted his friend's back, "Hey. We'll leave everything to you," He said, that usual comforting smile plastered on his face. "If anything goes wrong you can just call me and Coups."

Seuncheol nodded, "I trust your decisions, Jeonghan. I just hope this anxiety ends since it's not helping everyone."

Jeonghan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "I really do hope everything ends well. I also regret losing three thousand..."

He felt a slap on the back and realized it was Joshua chuckling. "Yah, now's not the time to be worrying about money."

"Pfft, rich kid." Muttered the fellow vocal unit member with a snicker.

They all decided to finally call it a night. Jeonghan flopped on his bed face first, placing his phone on the bedside table while never leaving his face on the pillow. But, before he could let go of the gadget, it vibrated causing him to move his head sideways to check for the email.

"Strangerrrr." – Unknown number

"I think you lost your wallet." – Unknown number
