About
How's your phone storage going? Do you take a dozen screenshots every time you watch a Seventeen MV? Do you have folders of ship """"evidence""""? How about screenshots of every time Seungkwan tried to fight in a variety show just so you can drop it as a reaction when a mutual insults you? No? Just me? Ahahaha please~
Seventeen has always blessed us with content, especially in the year of 2020 when soul-lifting was sorely needed. Think about your favourite Seventeen moments, take a screenshot, and drop it below. Fillers can get creative: explain the situation, extrapolate the consequence or perhaps, go metaphorical - do character study exploring the atmosphere, or take the same dynamics and place them in a different context. Theres no limits on your imagination!

Jeonghan got in the car, locking the doors and putting the key in the ignition. It had been a while since he'd visited his friend, and he missed him. He couldn't have imagined ever not feeling Seokmin's absence on the stage, but as the years had gone by, they had grown to close around the wound. It wasn't so gaping, so raw anymore. They'd all pulled on their weaknesses and pushed their strengths until even though it took all twelve of them, they could play his roles. Jeonghan sang a little higher, Vernon laughed a little more, Jun brushed up his cooking skills.
Nothing could replace him.
But they had learnt how to work without him.
"Hyung!" Seokmin called from the doorway of a barn and Jeonghan slammed the door behind him, jogging over toâ
"Don't touch me, I just had to help a cow birth. Wait, let me wash up. It's good to see you, hyung. How's everything? I've been busy lately, haven't been able to follow you much."
Jeonghan took a step back, "We're good. Won an award last night, for performance. Channie's solo album is nearly ready, Cheol-ah is releasing a solo track tonight and Hao has that contract withâ"
"That's great, hyung, but I asked how things were, not for a status reportâ" Seokmin turned back from washing up and smiled at himâ "What was the last thing you saw that made you stop and think about life? Hm? Have you made any legos lately?" He turned to the house and Jeonghan followed him, quiet.
"Things are good. Usual stress levels, but we're good. I made a cake yesterdayâ" Jeonghan hurried to catch up with Seokmin and slip in before the farmhouse door closedâ "and it was edible!"
Seokmin turned to him with a grin, "Was it really?"
"Jun said it was nice?"
"Jun is a lying liar who lies."
Jeonghan just hugged him instead of putting up with that. Seokmin laughed and hugged him back, so much stronger than he'd ever have been on stage, but so much more settled in himself.
They drank two pots of tea, sitting there catching up on each other's lives. Seokmin had three new calves, Hwan, Geon and Kyu, a new hen for eggsâ ( "She has the combined personality of hungry Seungcheol, tired Seungkwan and angry Minghao. And she tries to bite me four times a day. But the eggs are lovely.") And they were thinking about getting a big pond put in around the back for "yellow ducks." After the second pot, Seokmin brought out a tart, with fresh cream and served Jeonghan up a slice that he took a double take at.
"Hyung, eat it."
"It's too much, Seokmin, reallyâ"
"Come on, I'm not going to tell." Seokmin pushed it closer to him and picked up his own fork and Jeonghan looked at it. It looked delicious.
"This is delicious."
"Thanks, hyung. Now, tell me about you. You you. Not the group you."
Jeonghan swallowed his forkful, "I'm good. Sleeping well, eating wellâ" Seokmin raised an eyebrow and Jeonghan looked at himâ "I am! I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die, promise!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Making friends, maybe making more than friendsâ" Jeonghan tapped his noseâ
"I'm not sure yet."
"Tell me when you are, hyung~ I want the gossip~"
"I'll ring you."
"You do that, hyung. You do that."
Afternoon faded to dusk and Jeonghan stood reluctantly.
"That time already?" Seokmin asked, standing with him.
Jeonghan nodded, "I'm afraid it is. Back to it."
"It was nice seeing you, hyung. Really. Visit more often."
"You too! All our apartments are always open to youâ" Jeonghan squeezed him tightâ "You know that."
"Ah hyung. I do, I do. But the farm is hard to leave."
Jeonghan squeezed tighter in place of saying anything. At one point he had been hard to leave too.
The stars saw him home. The reflective walls of the elevator saw him up. Soonyoung saw him through the door.
"How was he?"
"Good. Happy. He sent cakes."
"Happy?"
"Yeah, glowing. Really happy, Soonie, really happy."
"I'm happy for him."
Jeonghan leaned onto Soonyoung's shoulder, "So am I."

Jeonghan wakes him up at five to feed the calf.
âItâs reallyââ
He canât even say the word, because itâs like, well, no shit, Seokmin. In the morning, grass is wet. In winter, New York is fucking cold.
âYouâre going to have to invest some of your Hollywood bucks in a new coat, hotshot,â Jeonghan teases, bemused. But heâs already pausing in his steps to take his scarf off. Seokmin nuzzles his nose into the red wool, grateful for the fuzzy warmth.
âWhatâs the calfâs name?â
âOhâ I tried giving her one, but she likes it better when I just call her Cow.â
âCow,â Seokmin repeats. Jeonghan watches him closely for a reaction. âYou just say, good morning, cow?â
âShe likes it,â Jeonghan says, grinning. âItâs motivational. Sheâs going to grow up faster. Youâll see.â
The barn is surprisingly warm. The calf is nestling on a bed of hay, her eyes big as dinner plates.
âHello, Cow,â Jeonghan sing-songs. He kneels, and she immediately nuzzles her velvety brown face into his outstretched mitten.
âOh no,â Seokmin says, his heart plummeting. âThatâs soâ thatâs really adorable.â
âYou feed her.â
âOkay, okay.â Jeonghanâs been carrying what looks like a baby bottle, only itâs twice the size of his hand. When he holds it out Seokmin realizes itâs filled with milk. âYou feed her milk? Isnât that cannibalism?â
âSeokmin, how is thatââ Jeonghan shakes his head, tamping down a smile. He pats the hay next to him forcefully.
Seokmin kneels, takes the bottle. He waffles a little bit as the calf blinks up at him, innocent, waiting. He feels ungainly and awkward all of a sudden. Next to Jeonghan heâs a teenager again. Too long limbs, trying desperately to impress an unattainable crush.
Jeonghan sighs. Seokmin opens his mouth to apologize on instinct but then he notices that Jeonghanâs eyes are smiling, and his mittened hands are rising to cover Seokminâs.
They lift the bottle together. The calf cranes her neck forward and starts to drink and then doesnât stop, tilting her head up excitedly, coughing when she goes too fast. Laughter spills out of Seokmin so hard that he almost drops the bottle, but Jeonghan steadies it.
âSheâs so hungry! Slow down, slow down.â
âTold you calling her Cow makes her aspire,â Jeonghan says, smug. He's pressed against Seokmin's back. He's so warm. Warm as home.
Their calf stops drinking eventually. They watch her ears flick, her big eyes droop as she falls asleep again like a child. Do calves dream? Do they remember their mothers?
Jeonghan doesn't move away. His chin digs into Seokmin's shoulder. Their shadows on the dusky red of the barn wall look like one body.
Seokmin has this weird vision, a vision of a hundred years in the future, of the soft earth outside the barn. Of him and Jeonghan. Their two skeletons in the dirt, holding each other for all of eternity.
Later they walk back to the house, boots crunching steady in the snow.
Seokminâs cheeks and ears are flushed. He wonders what the pasture looks like in the summer. He imagines dark rolling green, with bees and wildflowers and an endless sky. The kind thatâs so blue it almost gives you vertigo.
Imagines Jeonghan in overalls and a wide straw hat, his face pinkened, sun-bright, humming under his breath. Jeonghan watching the stars. Jeonghan at the dinner table, his face softened in candlelight. Smiling the way he did in the barn. The way he always seems to do when Seokmin is around.
Seokmin ducks his head down against the neverending white of the world and tries to breathe normally. Being here feels like looking at a friend knowing that someday theyâre going to change, or theyâre going to leave you, or youâre going to leave them, and things will never be the same.
Things will never, ever be as good.
How the fuck are you supposed to go on? How the fuck can you live with that? How the fuck has he been living with it?
âDid you know that your thoughts are as loud as you are,â Jeonghan says, puncturing the nothingness.
His trucker cap is pulled low over his face, cheeks angular in the pale early morning shadows. But heâs looking at Seokmin and his eyes are steady, calm. Knowing.
Jeonghan doesnât fear the same things.
Of course he doesnât. Seokmin is being silly. Overthinking. Going anywhere but the present. He hasnât learned. He hasnât changed. But itâs no use crying over spilled milk because the field isnât green now, but soon it will be. Soon Seokmin will be gone again.

a/n: this will probably change a lot in the future as i edit, but it's from a current wip! jeonghan is seokmin's childhood friend.
Re: [FILL] be still, my indelible friend
- âOh no,â Seokmin says, his heart plummeting. âThatâs soâ thatâs really adorable.â i've had this moment so many times. it's the wailing of horror and dread bc they've done something so cute and all u can say is Oh No (but only on the inside) because there's no way in hell ur going to let them know. but goddamnit if jeonghan isn't cute as hell.
- Jeonghan doesn't move away. His chin digs into Seokmin's shoulder. Their shadows on the dusky red of the barn wall look like one body.
Seokmin has this weird vision, a vision of a hundred years in the future, of the soft earth outside the barn. Of him and Jeonghan. Their two skeletons in the dirt, holding each other for all of eternity. HOW THE FUCK ????? i think there is something insane about the way you wield words. it feels like i'm dying inside, just a little, wilting. bc i feel so terribly for seokmin
- Being here feels like looking at a friend knowing that someday theyâre going to change, or theyâre going to leave you, or youâre going to leave them, and things will never be the same. again!!!! u've done it!!!!!!!! how do u translate that feeling into words big ouchie
i am so excited for ur wip. thank you for sharing ;___;

Seokmin has this weird vision, a vision of a hundred years in the future, of the soft earth outside the barn. Of him and Jeonghan. Their two skeletons in the dirt, holding each other for all of eternity. UM..... the Romance of it all..
âDid you know that your thoughts are as loud as you are,â Jeonghan says, puncturing the nothingness. i just love this line as well... this fic is mixed well with introspection and i love the trope of someone in their own head and someone else pulling them out of it... this is a lovely little snippet and i am looking forward to reading the whole piece!!

"âHello, Cow,â Jeonghan sing-songs. He kneels, and she immediately nuzzles her velvety brown face into his outstretched mitten.
