I haven't watched very much 17TV so idk very much about what happened at the time so please don't attack me for things I get wrong. I'm just going off of things I have a general idea on. So in most of the 17TV chapters Samuel is going to be there and Minghao isn't because I do know that Samuel was part of 17TV before he left and Minghao didn't join until 2014 or smth. Old members like MingMing won't be part of this either since I know nothing about them...

so basically seungcheol, Joshua, jun, Soonyoung, Wonwoo, Jihoon, Seokmin, mingyu, Seungkwan, hansol , chan , and Samuel (sorry Minghao :((((( <3 )

Btw this takes place in March 2013 because that's around the time that I know Jeonghan joined so she comes in with him.

Also bold means they're talking in English

[editing note: this chapters really long and i dont have the patience to change all the capitals in this to lowercase so please understand]

March 2013

A young girl and boy were sitting on the stairs in front of their school, waiting for the girl to be picked up.

"Wooshin.... You can go home you know" the girl sighed. She's used to this. The staff is usually late. She gets it though. The company must be going through a lot trying to stay in business. Being bankrupt must suck.

"I'm not leaving you here Blossom. My parents will understand." Wooshin said as he nudged Blossoms shoulder.

"Oppa will you please go home?" Blossom did in a cute voice. Hoping it worked for once. She doesn't want to be a burden and make people wait just because she joined a shitty company. That's not on her bucket list

"Nice try." Wooshin said pinching her cheek. "It's only been like 15 minutes. I live 5 minutes walk away. Are you sure you don't wanna come back to my place?"

"No it's fine"

The two waited for a couple more minutes before someone called Blossoms name. Blossom turned her head and saw a staff member. She said bye to Wooshin and walked over to the staff as they started to walk.

"How was school?" The staff member, Eunseo, asked. Blossom considers herself lucky that there was a staff member who knew English. Not to mention Eunseo was really nice.

"Good. We did an art project" Blossom said, hopping over the cracks in the sidewalk. Eunseo softly smiles at the young girl. Blossom was only 11 and already in the industry.

"That must be nice." Eunseo said ruffling her hair. Then moving her hand down to grab Blossoms hand. Blossom took the olders hand and kept walking. "The CEO said that he wanted to speak to you when we get back"

Blossom sucked her breath in. Was she being kicked out? Did she have to call her Mom and Eomma to tell them about how she needed them to get her plane ticket home just like all the other trainees who failed their monthly evaluations?

The woman looked down at the small girl and could sense her fear. "Blossomie it's ok. The CEO seemed happy when he told me. I'm sure it's good news."

"Unnie what if he's exited to get rid of me?"

"He wouldn't get rid of good talent dont worry." Eunseo said, squeezing blossoms hand and opening the company door with the other. The two walked hand in hand silently to the door of the CEO's office before Eunseo crouched down to squeeze Blossoms shoulders before walking away.

Blossom opened the door to the office and saw the CEO of Pledis sitting at his desk. Talking to a boy who had his back to the door about something she couldn't really understand. Blossom quietly shut the door and bowed to the CEO. "Blossom-ssi! It's nice to see you! Please take a seat." The CEO said smiling.

The boy turned around and his eyes had to move down to see the girl, as he had been looking up. His eyes softened and the two bowed to each other before Blossom took a seat next to the boy.

"Blossom-ssi, this is Jeonghan." The older man said holding his hand out to gesture to Jeonghan. Blossom waved a little bit and Jeonghan waved back before they both looked at the CEO "You two must be wondering why I called you here. The reason is that I've decided to add you both to 17TV"

'What!?!' They both thought. They had both heard of 17TV for sure but they were shockedFor different reasons. Jeonghan was shocked be added since he was a new trainee. And Blossom was shocked because she's a girl. Why was a girl being added to a guys group?

"I'm adding you both as I see potential. And Blossom you have potential to thrive in different environments. I want to make a change in the industry and you seem like you can help me." The CEO said. "Now you two may head on down to the practice room, the others are waiting for you two. Do be aware though, the cameras are rolling."

Jeonghan and Blossom didn't say anything more and quickly walked out of the office and silently made their way to the practice room. They took their deep breaths as Jeonghan opened the door and walked in. Everyone greeted him.

Blossom stood outside of the door against the wall next to it, not wanting to go in.

"Hey where's the girl?" She heard a deeper voice say.

"I don't know... she was behind me the whole way here?" Who Blossoms assuming was Jeonghan, said worriedly.

Blossom closed her eyes and pushed herself against the wall as she slid down. Tears threatened to fall as she sat there for a couple seconds until she felt a hand on her head. She looked up and saw Eunseo there, looking at her warmly.

"Unnie I'm scared" Blossom whispered as Eunseo wiped her tear away gently.

"Blossomie-ah it's ok. I'll be in there the whole time. They're really nice boys." Eunseo said, holding Blossoms hands standing her up. Blossom sniffed and hugged Eunseo's torso. She turned around, opened the door and walked in, head down.

She headed a few coos around the room as she looked up and saw 13 boys looking at her.

"Hi there" one of them said softly. Blossom knew who he was. Seungcheol, the guy who was basically the leader. "Can you tell us your name?"

Blossom looked up at Jeonghan as he softly smiled at her. "I already did"

The young girl took a deep breath. "Hi... my name is Kang-Ito Blossom.. I'm from Seattle Washington in the US and I'm 11 internationally" she said, slowly speaking as to not mess up any words. "Im also not very good at Korean so I'm really sorry"

Blossom looked over to Eunseo who was giving her a thumbs up. As she looked back at the boys they were all smiling as some male staff member popped In behind them.

"Great. We're done recording for today." He said turning off the camera. "It's 4:00. You guys can have a free day for the rest of the night. Just be ready to train and record again tomorrow."

All the staff left the room, including Eunseo, who said she needed to go talk with the CEO and would be back. Leaving Blossom and Jeonghan with the members. Everyone started talking and separating as Blossom walked to the corner of the room, took her backpack off, pulled her homework out, and started working on it.

Blossom finished her math and was about to start her reading when a hand was placed on her book. She looked up and saw three guys looking at her. Two looked a considerable amount of years older than her and one looked around her age.

"Hey blossom, sorry we didn't want to interrupt you since you looked focused so we waited until you were finished." The middle one said "I'm Hansol. This is Joshua and Samuel"

Blossom waved. "I'm sorry for taking so long to come In"

"It's ok. It must have been scary meeting all these new people, huh?"

"Yeah"

"You said that you're not that good at Korean?" Joshua asked as Blossom nodded her head.

"We'll help you!" Samuel exclaimed. He grabbed Blossoms hands, pulled her up and walked with her hand in hand over to the rest of the guys. "Guys! I got blossom!" He then turned to blossom and whispered. "Squeeze my hand anytime you need a translation."

Blossom nodded and she started to talk to the guys, with the help of Samuel, and get to know them. Seungcheol, Soonyoung, and Jihoon had been there the longest, Junhui was from China, then Joshua, Hansol, and Samuel were from the states. Wonwoo was quiet but cool, Seokmin was a ball of sunshine, Mingyu was a beanpole, Seungkwan talked a lot (which was fine because it would eventually make up for Blossoms lack of talking), Chan likes to dance, and Jeonghan is the guy she walked in with.

"We should probably go back to the dorms now and let Jeonghan and Blossom settle in." Seungcheol said. Everyone agreed and started cleaning up.

Once everyone made it to the dorm they found a note on the coffee table about rooms and how Blossoms moms had requested that she had her own room. Blossom was embarrassed and worried. She just met these guys and now she's already causing issues.

"Guys I don't have to have my own room... it's ok" she said but Chan and Samuel shook their heads.

"Yah it's okay. Don't worry about it ok? We can share rooms. You're really young and the only girl. We should do this anyways." Chan said.

The rooms were then figured out. Jeonghan would share with Seungcheol and Joshua, Chan and Samuel would leave their shared room and go share with DK (who had a bigger room anyways), and Blossom would get their old room.

Eunseo came to the dorm and took Blossom to get her stuff from her old room to start putting it in her room, as the staff had taken the liberty to box everything up for her, while the guys were moving their rooms.

It took a while but they had finished before dinner at 8:00pm. Blossoms room had everything up except for on her wall and Eunseo went home for the night. Mingyu came into everyone's rooms saying dinner was ready, everyone ate, then went off to chill for the night.

Blossom had just finished getting her pajamas on when Seungkwan knocked on the door and said they were having a maknaes night since Blossom was new and a maknae.

Blossom walked into Vernon and Seungkwans shared room and sat on the beanbag (per Hansol's request because she had been standing for 5 minutes since she walked in there).

"So you're 11 internationally? What's your birthday?" Chan asked.

"January first 2002." Blossom replied In English. 'It's so fun only really being able to understand what they're saying and not be able to say it myself without having to translate in my head'

"So we're the same Korean age but you're a little older than me." Samuel said and blossom nodded.

Seungkwan looked at the girl puzzled. "I thought you said you can't speak Korean very well?"

Blossom looked down sheepishly, "I can understand it but it's hard for me to speak it because I need to translate it in my head."

They all made sounds of acknowledgment and continued getting to know each other even more.

"Wait so Hansol-ssi, you moved here when you were 5 from new york?" Blossom asked.

"Yeah. Also you can call us; we'll minus Samuel, oppa. We're in the same group now." Hansol said smiling as he patted the girls shoulder.

Blossom slowly nodded as Seungcheol opened the door. "Ok you guys, time for bed." 4 of them groaned while Blossom stayed quiet. She just met these guys, she wasn't going to start off annoying.

"I know you moody teenagers. But the children need to rest" Seungcheol said walking over to where Samuel and Blossom were sitting and crouched down. "Cmon you two"

Blossom sighed and stood up while Samuel did the same but whined. Seungcheol put his hands on their backs as they stood on either side of him as he led them to their rooms that had happened to be across from each other. Samuel said goodnight to Seungcheol and Blossom and the other way around as he walked to his, Chan's, and Seokmins room as Blossom and Seungcheol were left in the middle of the rooms.

Seungcheol asked blossom if it was ok to talk to her in her room. When she agreed she sat on her bed as Seungcheol crouched down in front of her.

"Kiddo I just want to let you know that we're here for you. I know that it's probably weird being in an all boys group when you're the only girl but I want you to know that we're here to listen and im here to help you." He said patting her arm.

Blossom started tearing up and moved to hug him. She didn't expect any of them to accept her this quickly. "Thank you oppa" she said quietly into his chest.

"No problem. Now you should probably get some rest." Seungcheol cooed as he softly lifted her up and placed her on her bed.

Blossom got under the blankets as the two said goodnight and the older turned off the lights and closed the door.
