I wanted to hug you without saying anything

류여주
"Huh? Oppa! Practice finished early today?"


에스쿱스(승철)
"Yeah~ Today, practice and schedule finished early. Are you getting off work now?"

류여주
"Yeah, I've been in the studio all day and now I'm off work~"


에스쿱스(승철)
"Oh my, you've worked hard too, Yeoju. I'll take you home."

류여주
"Thank you~"

The owner of the car in front of me is Coups!

The other members were leaving work with their manager, and Coups was leaving work in his car that he had left at the company when he saw me and stood there.


에스쿱스(승철)
"Have you been making our costumes all day?"

류여주
"Yeah! The general shape is complete, so I'm planning on working on the details tomorrow."


에스쿱스(승철)
"It's already taking shape? Wow... Amazing."

류여주
"Haha, it was so much fun that I didn't even realize how much time had passed and it was over in no time."


에스쿱스(승철)
"Haha so cute~"

My brother stroked my hair while driving and my face turned red.

류여주
○^_^○


I arrived in front of the house after running for 20 minutes.

류여주
"I'm home~"


에스쿱스(승철)
"So this is Yeoju's house~ You live alone, right?"

류여주
"Yeah, the school is 10 minutes away from here, so I got it here."


에스쿱스(승철)
"I'll give you a pair of shoes you don't wear tomorrow, so put them in the shoe rack."

류여주
"huh?"


에스쿱스(승철)
"It's less dangerous if you have a pair of men's shoes~"

류여주
"Ah~ Yeah! Thank you haha I'm going in now, you too, Oppa, be careful~ See you tomorrow~"


에스쿱스(승철)
"Okay~ Let's go in~ See you tomorrow~"

I said hello to my brother and came home.

류여주
"Oh, I'm so tired... I need to wash up and go to bed."

I quickly changed my clothes, washed up, and left, dragging my tired body along.

Then I lay down on the bed and turned on my phone and there was a KakaoTalk message.

The main character of KakaoTalk was Seventeen's group chat?

Huh? Seventeen group chat? Why me?

When I opened the chatroom, the person who invited me was Coups oppa. He must have found out that I live alone, so he invited me to the group chatroom.

류여주
* Why am I here?

I started chatting out of curiosity, and my KakaoTalk notification sound started ringing like crazy at my question.


에스쿱스(승철)
*I invited you because I wanted you to feel a little safer since you live alone.


정한
*I heard that Yeoju lives alone, so I'm worried she'll be bored lol


조슈아(지수)
*We have to protect Yeoju~


준(준휘)
*I need to be able to contact you in case something happens


호시(순영)
*She's like our little sister, so we older brothers have to protect her~


원우
*If you're home alone and bored or scared, call me anytime.


우지(지훈)
*I want to go on schedules with you soon..


민규
*After Yeoju graduates from school, we have to move into our apartment.


도겸(석민)
*Hey, can I go out and play on your day off?


디에잇(명호)
*Even if you live alone, you have to eat well and move around.


승관
*Yeoju, Yeoju, Yeoju~! You worked hard today too~


버논(한솔)
*It's nice to have 13 strong older brothers~


디노(찬)
*I'm your older brother haha, if you're bored, call me~

Even though 13 people are talking one by one, I still get a ton of messages.

류여주
* Thank you for inviting me~ I used to live alone so I was a little lonely, but now I won't be lonely hehe

류여주
*I'm going to sleep now. I'm sleepy.. See you tomorrow, guys~

I replied and fell asleep.



7:30 the next morning

I opened my eyes to the sound of my alarm and checked my phone. There were a ton of group chats and personal messages. I got ready for work first.


30 minutes later

After finishing getting ready for work and leaving the house, I checked my KakaoTalk

A group chat to say good night and see you at work

Even the personal chats of Coups oppa, Wonwoo oppa, and Jeonghan oppa

I took public transportation to work and had no time to be bored.


30 minutes later

When I arrived at the company, I bought coffee and went to the office first.

류여주
"Good morning~!"

소은 팀장님
"Good morning~"

선배 1
"Hello~"

선배 2
"Hello~"

류여주
"Shall we start our day with a caffeine boost~!"

소은 팀장님
"Wow... I was just about to go get some coffee, but our youngest is so stylish."

After sharing coffee with the team leader and seniors, I headed to the workroom.


As soon as I entered the studio, I checked the costumes and started planning before working on the details.

I put on music and hum along while thinking.

dripping

? Who is it?

The door opened with a knock and the people who came in were Jihoon and Wonwoo oppa.


우지(지훈)
"Hey lady~"


원우
"Hey lady~"

류여주
"Huh? You didn't go to your schedule?"


우지(지훈)
"I did it at dawn and had some time left before my next schedule, so I came to play haha"


원우
"What were you doing, Yeoju?"

류여주
"You guys were thinking about the details of your costumes~"


원우
"Wow~"


우지(지훈)
"Wow.. cool haha"

류여주
"But why do you guys look so tired? Can't you sleep these days?"


우지(지훈)
"A little? I think it's because I've been working on the album and sleeping late all the time."


원우
"I'm having trouble sleeping because I'm a bit stressed out these days."

류여주
"It looks like it says I'm tired on your face~"

류여주
"But I think I know why those two came to see me...? Let's see if that feeling is right."

Two people looking at me with curious eyes

I approached the two people to check my intuition.

I hugged them one by one without saying anything.

Then, as if they had been waiting, the two people hugged me and felt comfortable.

류여주
"So this was necessary? It must have been really hard..?"

As soon as I finished speaking, two people simultaneously dug into my arms, and both my shoulders became damp.

I patted him quietly and spoke again.

류여주
"My brothers' babies, babies~"

My brothers, who had been crying and then giggling at my playful tone, released their embrace and said this.


원우
"You can't ignore the heroine's intuition haha Jihoon was right~"


우지(지훈)
"Am I right?"

류여주
"What did you say?"


원우
"Ji-hoon said that he felt better when he was hugged by you, Yeo-ju."

류여주
"So you came here because you couldn't stand the hardships anymore?"


원우 우지
"huh.."

류여주
"Good job~ Call me anytime you need a break~"


우지(지훈)
"Yeah haha we should go now I'll text you later~"


원우
"Yeah haha thank you~"

류여주
"When you finish your schedule and come to the practice room, contact me so we can go hang out~"


원우 우지
"huh!"

So the brothers took a short break and then went back to their schedule.

After my brothers left, I started working again.



2 hours later

After the concept was finalized, detail work began on the 13 costumes.


After 3 hours, the work on the 5th costume was finished.

I took a short break

류여주
"Ugh~ I guess I should take a break for a bit."

I was resting while looking at my phone, and then I got a little hungry, so I left the office to buy a sandwich near the office.


I bought a sandwich, went back to my studio, and had a late breakfast watching YouTube.

And then 30 minutes later I started working again



It was getting dark outside, and the detail work on the 13 costumes was finished.

Today, the work was finished at 9 PM, and I plan to do fittings and make corrections over the next two days, tomorrow and the day after.

류여주
"Finally finished with today's work!"

After stretching and cleaning up my workspace, I looked at my phone.

There are a ton of messages coming in

I decided to check the group chat later and checked the individual chats.

There was a text from Woozi oppa saying he came to the practice room after finishing his schedule, a text from Coups oppa saying he missed him, and a text from Seungkwan oppa asking what he was doing.

Instead of replying, I quickly left the studio and went down to my brothers' practice room.


In front of the practice room

I hear a familiar song.

I waited for a while, then when I couldn't hear any music, I knocked and went in.

류여주
"I'm here!"


에스쿱스(승철)
"Hey lady~!"


정한
"Are you here, pretty girl?"


조슈아(지수)
"Hello~"


준(준휘)
"Come on~!"


호시(순영)
"Jju~"


원우
"You're here? Haha"


우지(지훈)
"Hey~ Are you done with today's work?"


민규
"Juju~ Yeoju~ When will we be going on our schedule together?"


도겸(석민)
"Wow!! It's the female lead!!"


디에잇(명호)
"You're here? I missed you, Yeoju haha"


승관
"Day and night~ Hello~"


버논(한솔)
"Hi, Yeoju~"


디노(찬)
"Aren't you tired day and night?"

류여주
"Hello~ You must be here now that you're done with work today, right? And I think we'll be going out together for schedules starting next month."

류여주
"I'm tired~ But my brothers look more tired than me."

류여주
"When will practice end?"


호시(순영)
"Around 12 o'clock?"

류여주
"Wow.. Amazing.. I'll go home after seeing the oppas' faces! Oh! And we're going to do fittings over the course of two days, tomorrow and the day after? I think it'll be okay if the vocal team and Wonwoo oppa from Coups come first tomorrow. I'll tell the team leader."


에스쿱스(승철)
"Okay, I understand, lady. Take the shopping bag over there on the table."

류여주
"Shopping bag? Oh, oppa's shoes?"


에스쿱스(승철)
"Yeah, I said I'd give you shoes you don't wear."

류여주
"Yeah, thanks~"


조슈아(지수)
"Why are you giving me shoes that I don't wear?"

류여주
"I live alone, so if you tell me to keep a pair of men's shoes with me, I'll feel more secure."


조슈아(지수)
"Ah~ The winning process is great~"


에스쿱스(승철)
"Haha, take your shopping bag and be careful~ I'll text you when you get home."

류여주
"Okay~ I'll leave work first~ Don't get hurt and practice~!"


세븐틴
"Yeah! Be careful~"

I said goodbye to my brothers and left the practice room.

류여주
"Oh, I'm tired. Let's go home."

I dragged my tired body home from work, my back aching.

As I left the company, I told my team leader about tomorrow's schedule in advance via KakaoTalk, stopped by a convenience store to buy some snacks, and then boarded the bus and headed home.


30 minutes later

Finally arrived home!

Wow... the commute is pretty hectic... I think I should move closer to work.

I changed clothes and reported my arrival home to the group chat, wondering how to handle the one-hour round trip commute.

And the day is over!
