Meet y/n, a 25 year old girl who had to revisit the city she once loved, Seoul. It was a city filled with both good and bad memories for her. When she left, she swore never to return.

âwait! what do you mean.. she left?âÂ
ây/nâs on the way to Incheon airport right now. sheâs going back home to her countryâ Joohyeon ssaem told the members as they were preparing backstage at SBS Gayo Daejeon, standing by to perform.Â
It was quite chaotic backstage, with the crew running around notifying idols to prepare for their stage and with a large group like seventeen, all the more itâd be twice the chaos.Â
The members were doing last minute touch ups on their hair and makeup, while some were prepping their mics and in-ear monitors.Â
âI didn't expect y/n noona to return back home this quickly..â dino whispered to seungkwan as the younger members were done prepping. seungkwan sighed and looked over to one of his hyung who was sitting on the chair, having his makeup touched up. his expression was stoic and expressionless.
seungkwan wasn't able to figure out what exactly his hyung was feeling after hearing news of y/n leaving Korea for good. he slowly walked over to the older memberâs side, âhyung.. are you okay?âÂ
seungkwanâs question was met by what seemed like a forced smile and a thumbs up, âdon't worry seungkwan, I'm fine.âÂ
âyou.. should go after y/n noona and tell her you didnât mean what you said that dayâ seungkwan touched the older guyâs shoulder.Â
âno.. itâs too late. itâs best if she hates me. I donât deserve her anyway.âÂ
âhyung--âÂ
âSeventeen, youâre up next!â A crew member came into the dressing room.Â
âcome on, itâs our turn next.â the older guy stood up from his chair and grabbed his mic pack, leaving seungkwan who sighed and shooked his head. *how did things ended up like this?*Â

âwe are going to miss you so so much!!â hana and choyi hugged y/n tightly at the departure gate. y/n smiled as she returned the hug, squeezing the girls tightly trying hard not to cry. at least in front of them.Â
âI promise to kakaotalk you guys everyday ok? if not at least every week. I will miss you both too, if it werenât for you girls I wouldn't have been able to adapt to life here.âÂ
choyi sniffed and wiped a tear from her eye while hana looked at her with a soft smile, âyou sure you donât wanna stay here for a little longer?â
y/n shooked her head and forced a smile, âI miss home and my parents.. plus, itâs best if I moved on.. from here.â she blinked a few tears away that were threatening to drop.Â
âI love you girls. This isnât goodbye okay?â y/n hugged the other two again before walking into the departure gate, waving one last time.Â
hana and choyi waved goodbye as they watched y/n disappear into the doors.Â
âI don't blame her for leaving. her heart is brokenâÂ
âI guess itâs best if she goes home and heal from this hurtâÂ
hana and choyi turned and walked to the carpark, âugh if I knew he was such a jerk all along, i wouldnât have encouraged y/n to be with him!â choyi folded her arms in anger. hana sighed as she unlocked her car. âwe didn't know then.. it was as if they were made for each other.. who knew he would have said those hurtful things and break her heartâ

âseungcheol ah, you still asleep? want some ramen?â jeonghan enters the leaderâs room and found him browsing through a photo album. âoh? what are you looking at?âÂ
seungcheol showed him the album which consist of various polaroids taken over the past few years. âwow.. eh? isnât this from two years ago? Ideal Cut right?âÂ
seungcheol nodded as he picked up a polaroid of him and y/n before the concert started. âdino took jihoonâs polaroid camera and were going around taking tons of pictures.. but this in particular, is from y/nâs cameraâÂ
âI like this one the mostâ seungcheol smiled as he ran his fingers over the y/nâs frame on the polaroid.Â
jeonghan hugged through the album and found his polaroid with y/n. âI like this one betterâÂ
both of them chuckled as they continued browsing through the rest of the pictures. âshe must have found us annoying, asking her to taking pictures with us instead of letting her find her seat at the stadiumâÂ
âwe could have made her life easier by taking a group pictureâÂ
âyouâre the one who asked for a solo picture with her firstâ jeonghan elbowed seungcheol.Â
âyeah I did.. her smile lightens up my dayâÂ
âmine too..âÂ
the same aged members sat there in silence for a few minutes as they gazed at the pictures on their lap.Â
âanywaysâ, jeonghan broke the silence. âDid Mingyu said anything today?âÂ
âabout?â seungcheol asked as he packed the album back into a box and placed it back under his bed.Â
jeonghan shooked his head, âoh itâs fine. coffee run this afternoon took a little longer cause.. there were a few people at the cafe..â
seungcheol nodded forming an âoâ with his mouth.Â
âoh yeah, do you want some ramen?â jeonghan asked before he exited the leader's room. seungcheol declined as he was going to go to bed.Â
jeonghan nodded and left the room to find mingyu standing outside. âhyung.. why didnât you let seungcheol hyung know that we met y/n noona today?âÂ
âsssh.. letâs just leave it for now.âÂ

y/n let out a breath as she stepped out of a cafe with an ice americano in her hand. she had just finished her third meeting for the day and has the rest of the afternoon to herself as hana and choyi were busy.Â
âHOME RUNNNN!âÂ
familiar voices caught y/nâs attention as she was walking down the streets of hongdae. she paused and turned.Â
seventeenâs mv for their latest song was playing on a television in a shop. y/n stood closer to the tv and watched the mv.Â
*theyâve grown so much* she stared as the camera panned to him, his solo shot that came up a few seconds -- oh how different he looks, in a span of two years he looked more mature.. more handsome.Â
âtheir moves is still as sharp and precise as everâ y/n mumbled as she walked away, old memories flashing by.Â

flashback: June 2018, Seoul, 2:13pm (KST)Â
y/n and the girls were at jamsil arena where it's day one of Ideal Cut 2018. as friends of seventeen, the girls got to have exclusive backstage passes and tickets for the three days.Â
the girls were seated at the spectators seats while watching the group rehearse. though they weren't the ones performing but they still felt nervous for the guys, after all, everyoneâs hoping that these three days will go as smoothly as possible without any injuries.Â
âwoohoo seventeen fighting!!â choyi screamed at the top of her lungs as she waved her arms. y/n giggled at the sight while hana covered her face in embarrassment and tried pulling choyi to sit down.
y/n smiled and turned towards his direction making eye contact with him. she made a fist and mouthed âfightingâ. he returned her smile and made a finger heart causing the girl to blush and look away, face as red as a tomato.Â
âhyung! youâre supposed to be standing here!â dino called out. y/n bit her lip holding her laughter as she sees her boyfriend scrambling to his position as they got ready to rehearse for clap.Â
yes, boyfriend. y/n still finds it hard to believe that sheâs dating a member of seventeen. but itâs been quite easy to hide since theyâre always hanging out as a group at the pledis building. the only people who knew of their relationship are the managers, members, the girls and joohyeon ssaem.Â
as to how they begin.. it wasnât as romantic as those k drama confession scenes -- all he did was asked her out for coffee at their favourite cafe, gave her flowers (forget-me-nots which is y/nâs favourite) with a card that was written by him, confessing his feelings for her cause he was too shy to verbalise it.Â
now, y/n didnât accept him right away. she needed time to decide and think. but with the help of hana and choyi -- well, more of choyi, y/n decided to give the svt member a chance. after all, she has feelings for him too.Â
âletâs take ten!â one of the pd announced as svt finished the first rehearsal for clap. y/n snapped out of her thoughts as she joined the girls in clapping loudly before going backstage to meet the guys.Â
âgood job you guys! carats are going to be in awed tonight!â choyi gave them a thumbs up while joohyeon ssaem nodded in agreement while grabbing hanaâs hand.Â
y/n went over to the snacks area. âso was I good out there?â she turned to find her boyfriend peering over her shoulder as she opened a bottled of water for him.Â
âhmm..â she cheekily rubbed her chin, pretending to be thinking hard. âI guess you were kinda okayâÂ
âokay? only okay?!â y/n laughed as his eyeâs went as wide as it could (he has big eyes anyways). âokay fine, you were amazing out there!â she caressed the back of his neck looking up at him with a loving gaze. his eyes softened as he reached out to hold her hand.Â
ânoona! what about us? we were great too right!â y/n turned to see dino, seungkwan and dokyeom pouting. y/n grinned, âyes yes you guys were great! here, have some snacks that we broughtâ y/n handed some kimbap to the younger ones.Â
âokay now that you guys are fed, go away and leave us alone!â y/n chuckled at her boyfriendâs childish antics as he shooed away the three nosy ones.Â

âCut! thatâs it for todayâs shoot, good work everybody!â the director yelled as everybody clapped as the shoot finishes. seungcheol, jeonghan, woozi, seungkwan and mingyu were guest stars on a variety show since the early morning.Â
the five of them bowed and said goodbyes to the mc and crew before walking back to their van.Â
âoh hyungs! look! pretty flowers!â seungkwan pointed and ran over to the field. just a few meters away from their van, there was a field of flowers, particularly forget-me-nots. âmingyu hyung! quick help me take some pics!â mingyu sighed as he took out his iPhone.Â
âso prettyâ jeonghan commented as he, woozi and seungcheol stood in front of the field while the two younger ones were taking pictures. seungcheol nodded. âI didnât know they were in season.. so beautifulâ he said softly as he reached out and touched a bunch of them.Â
âdo you guys still remember the meaning of forget-me-nots?â woozi asked as he gazed at the field in front of him.Â
âsheâs the one who taught us right so how could we forget?â the three of them chuckled.Â
flashback: may 2018, svtâs practice room, 6:37pm (KST)
âhow kind of you girls to bring us food again! thank you so much!â joshua grinned as he distributed the bento boxes that the girls brought. âno worries, itâs just that our exams are coming up so we won't be able to visit you guys for a whileâ choyi explained.Â
âaww.. study hard! fighting!â hoshi exclaimed, mouth full of kimchi fried rice much to seungkwanâs annoyance.Â
hana sighed as she leaned onto joohyeon ssaemâs shoulder, browns scrunching as she furiously typed onto her laptop.Â
âis hana noona okay?â dokyeom asked peering over to the couple who were sitting at one corner. âsheâs fine.. just a little stressed over her assignment where she has to pick three flowers and write about themâ y/n answered as she grabbed a can of coffee and took a sip.Â
seungcheol mirrored her actions and took a sip of his ice americano, âflowers? that's a unique assignmentâÂ
y/n nodded, âyeah. she wants to write about rare and uncommon flowers but hasnât able to decide whichâÂ
âspeaking of flowers, do you have a favourite flower noona?â myeongho who was silently listening to their conversation, asked.Â
âhmmâ y/n thought for a second, âforget-me-notsâÂ
âwhat a unique name! I've never heard of those beforeâ jun commented.Â
âtheyâre really pretty and I love the meaning behind them.â y/n showed them a few pictures of the flower. âso what's the meaning behind them?âÂ
âIt symbolises true love and respect. giving someone forget-me-nots meant that you will always remember them and keep them in your thoughts.â y/n smiled as she took a quick glance at one of the guys who was listening to her explanation.Â

jeonghan took a deep breath of the fresh air. *is this a sign? that itâd be better to let the others know of her return?* he stared out onto the field of flowers that y/n love.Â
âactually.. now that the flowers reminded me..âÂ
woozi and seungcheol turned and look at jeonghan.Â
âsheâs backâ jeonghan paused and observed the other two reactions.Â
â...what?âÂ
jeonghan took another deep breath and looked at the two leaders.Â
ây/nâs back in Seoul and we just saw her a few days ago.â seungkwan and mingyu paused what they were doing and stared at the older member.Â
seungcheol held his breath as he tried to digest the information that he heard.
 woozi blinked a few times before looking down at the flowers.Â
âShe's back?âÂ
