Chapter Text
Currently, Mingyu has his hands crossed on his chest, lips pouting, and eyes looking down at the table. Not paying any attention to both his parents and to the stranger in front of them. Apparently it was his “fiancé” what the actual fuck?!
Everything was irritating for the latter, how could his beloved parents ever give him to a stranger?! He thought that they loved him… Rolling his eyes internally his pouty lips intensified. Ever since the call earlier, after his parents picked him up, and even after they arrived at the place of their meetup, all the information given to him still hasn't sinked in his mind fully. To Mingyu, what is happening currently is a fever dream. How could a completely single man become engaged in just one afternoon?! Well not really engaged yet because he hadn't agreed. */smirk
Maybe it was time to think of plans on making the “fiancé” give up and walk out of this damn restaurant.
“Baby? Gyugyu?” his mother's soft voice interrupted his interesting thoughts, which had him looking up and finally facing the people surrounding him, who btw were all looking at him waiting for his response. Noticing the attention, he quickly sat properly and cleared his throat to answer. “Why momm?” After his answer, instead of receiving a verbal response, his mom gestured him to look at the person beside his dad, the stranger “fiancé”.
Ugh mom!! I don't wanna look at his stupid face! He's probably the ugliest person in the world !
Choosing not to respond either, he swiftly shook his head. Not even thinking if it looked rude to the stranger. His sweet mother's eyebrows furrowed, showing signs of her displeasure, sternly looked at Mingyu. The one being stared at by the whole table was now biting his lip, scared of his mother, not that she bites or anything. She just naturally has this scary aura whenever she's angry, which Mingyu doesn't want to happen.
BUT HE ALSO DOESN'T WANT TO FACE THE STRANGER!!
Taking a deep breath, it was a now or never situation. “I have a boyfriend, mom!” his voice sounded like a whine, which he didn't intend to.
“hm really? who, baby?” his mom calmly asked, even tilting her head as she waited for a response. Because of that Mingyu suddenly felt anxious and started to blurt out names
“kyeom”
“he has shua, honey”
“uhm it's hao, mom!”
“engaged with jun, baby”
“cheol!” Mingyu talked pouting, wishing that his mom would finally buy this one, but instead of receiving an approving look from his mom. His mom laughed and shook her head “oh stop joking my little bub. Say hi to our dear Wonwoo”
MOM HOW COULD YOU!?
Oh..and wonwoo huh? Hm..
Since blurting out that he had a boyfriend didn't even made his mom budge, maybe if he'd show some attitude to that Wonwoo guy he'd voluntarily exit..yeah..
Wonwoo..just you ready
“honey, come on Wonwoo is waiting” his mom encouraged him, but before he could even answer, a voice spoke “It’s okay Mrs. Kim, we don't need to hurry”
Fuck ..
Mingyu's entire soul and body froze, the voice that he had just heard had been the deepest yet softest voice. It was the epitome of attr-
NO!
This is not happening,no. No. That's just his voice. Focus Mingyu, focus.
Heaving deep breaths, Mingyu then mustered the deepest frown he could ever show someone before facing the “Wonwoo” guy.
Fuck life really..
He was doomed
Utterly speechless, that was what Mingyu's situation is. Even if he wanted to speak, shock had taken over his throat.
The man in front of him, that Wonwoo guy, was the most attractive person in the who-
NO GYU FOCUS
I am angry, he is not handsome, nor is his voice attractive as hell. That's right gyu, he is none of those.
He chanted in his mind while preparing to speak, but before he could even utter a word. Once again Wonwoo spoke.
“How are you, Min?” he smiled gently, looking at Mingyu as if all his attention was all for him and no one else's. His eyes showed pure curiosity and delight, which had Mingyu finally surrendering into it.
Damnit
“I-I’m fine” he mumbled, not being able to hold eye contact with Wonwoo. His heart couldn't handle whatever he was seeing in those eyes.
Mark my words “Wonwoo” this will not be the last of my fight! I will fight you!!

That message from Mayor Kim was what completed his entire day, talking through messages with the man, he was unconsciously smiling.
To be clear though he doesn't like Mayor Kim okay?? His liking is directed to someone else.
Clearing his throat at realizing he was way far being his normal self, Wonwoo straightened his posture and calmed himself down. Not wanting anyone to see that version of himself.
Me
Of course, Mr. Kim
Mayor K.
Okay, let's meet to talk
At this [location] at 6pm
Me
Sure, I'll be there
After that quick convo, Wonwoo placed his phone back down, resting his eyes—closing it before leaning his back on the chair. He was trying so hard not to let out the biggest smile he could ever muster right now.
This was it. This was what he always wanted.
Moments later, he opened his eyes to look at the clock. SHIT. It was currently 4:03. He looked at his outfit and winced because how could Mr. Kim time this on the day he barely had the energy to dress something appealing. Guess he has to leave office early.
Quickly standing up from his chair, leaving everything behind—except his phone, he left the office. I need to be quick.
With the want of being quickly clouded Wonwoo's mind, he hadn't noticed that his secretary had jolted up when he saw his boss walking out of the office, Chan had quickly followed him and tried to call him but no to avail his boss was nowhere near consciousness of the world at all.
“SIR!” Chan half shouted and half whined. Only after then Wonwoo had come into his senses. After facing his secretary (poor chan-ah) he was faced with a Chan who was out of breath, hands on his knees. “Oh why, Chan? Is there something wrong?” Wonwoo asked, even tilting his head in confusion. Chan, who had just recovered, was shocked by all he knew, he thought that his boss was that angry that's why he stormed out of his room without any warning but here he was even having the time to tilt his head. “You’re not angry, sir?” he hesitantly asked. Wonwoo, who had just realized the situation, chuckled lightly “No Chan, I'm not. Don't worry” he spoke then gently tapped Chan's back and told him “Btw, I'll go out early. You should go home too” he smiled before walking away.
Chan was left there dumbfounded, thinking if that was really his boss or was he possessed by a saint.

Wonwoo was having a hard time. Not because of the behavior of the brat in front of him but he was having a hard time keeping his smile hidden. As he looked at Mingyu, who had his lip sprouting with a pout and his head bowed, really refusing to look in his direction.
All his life, this was the very first time he had witnessed a stubborn person being so cute. Despite Mingyu making it obvious that he doesn't want to be in the current position he was in, Wonwoo was enjoying it.
Has Wonwoo said that he's enjoying it? Ah.. he did. Well he just wants to say it again.
I wanna keep you in my pocket. He internally said, scrunching his nose as he looked at the stubborn man in front of them. But before he could continue admiring the beauty ahead of him he heard the big baby's dad clearing his throat.
Right, they were still here.
“My apologies, Mr. Jeon. This isn't my son's normal behaviour” Mr. Kim had reasoned out, not wanting Mingyu to leave a bad impression on Wonwoo. He had shook both his hand and head, indicating that he was not taking it all in heart. Mingyu was young and he understood what he was feeling. “None of that, I completely understand.” Wonwoo smiled.
Moments after, as all the people in the table had enough of the awkward silence (Wonwoo didn't mind it at all, he had time to stare at the latter in front of him all that he wanted. But that's his little secret shhh) Mingyu's mother finally said “Baby? Gyugyu?” she softly said.
Ahh.. so his nickname is Gyu. I think I would prefer Min more.. well if he permits me.
As Wonwoo continued to listen to their Convo, his heart started to drop. Even after his cutesy whiney voice it couldn't just bring back any excitement because of mingyu's words “I have a boyfriend” it felt like a stab right in his heart. Let me tell you he froze on the spot. His throat was tightening and he didn't know what to do. Does he withdraw to prevent this cute man from being separated from the person he wants to ?! What does he do!
He sat there defeated.
Or was he?
“kyeom”
“he has shua, honey”
“uhm it's hao, mom!”
“engaged with jun, baby”
“cheol!”
“oh stop joking my little bub. Say hi to our dear Wonwoo”
Every failed attempt of Mingyu's said “boyfriend” Wonwoo's heart had started to be alive once again. He felt that he could freely breathe now. He was safe and he wasn't ruining any relationships at all.
So when he had composed himself fully, regaining the confidence he had earlier. He wasn't a cocky CEO for nothing.
Hearing that Mingyu's mother was telling Min to hurry up, he quickly answered that they were not in any hurry at all.
“How are you, Min?” But as the older and bigger person of the two, he started the Convo and mumbled the words softly, giving Mingyu all of his attention, waiting attentively for his response.
You're so adorable, Min. How he wanted to say those words but it was too early for that.
“I-I’m fine” Mingyu answered, not looking at his eyes at all. And was that a blush on his cheeks? Is it because of irritation or…
What a interesting night it is
