    (Alt: On the night of the first autumn ritual Hyunjin and Felix find an injured shapeshifter.

    Summary

    Seungmin, an Earth Kingdom noble, has spent his entire life being crushed by expectations and is quite frankly about to reach his breaking point. That is, until he stumbles in a little teahouse by accident and meets a very charming shopkeeper who makes him forget both the pressures weighing him down and how to breathe. Together, they create a warm little haven for themselves, even if it's not what fate intended for them.

    Author’s note: while this fic does take place in the universe of Avatar the Last Airbender, you need not have watched the series to understand this fic as it is heavily focused on seungjin’s relationship. I will provide all necessary context in the notes (mainly a bit of background of the world and names of places don’t worry) so that anyone can read this if they’d like!

    Summary

    “Hyunjin? Are you ok?” Seungmin asked, waving a hand in front of Hyunjin’s dazed eyes.

    Hyunjin gulped on instinct. He's so beautiful. How did he not notice before?

    “I-it's 24 hours,” Hyunjin choked past the lump in his throat. “And I didn't fall in love.”

    Are you sure about that?

    Hyunjin made the journey to Prophe-Seungs fully expecting to get his money back, and leave. Make five-minute pleasantries with Seungmin, and then push through the carved wooden door with his well earned five dollars back in his wallet, where it belongs. Never to return.

    He was wrong. He was living a 24 hour lie, but everything has become clear as the mental fog within faded, now replaced with the dissipating smog of freshly lit incense.

    Hyunjin doesn't want a refund.

    He wants Seungmin.

     

    Inspired by the prompt: “you’re a fortune teller and you predict that i’ll fall in love with someone within 24 hours. i dont, so i come back 24 hours later to demand a refund and whoa how come i didnt notice that you’re gorgeous??”

    Summary

    The two of them get engaged the summer after graduation. The announcement makes front page news in the Korean Herald and Hyunjin’s mom puts a clipping of it on the fridge right next to a copy of Seungmin’s senior thesis paper and acceptance letter into Harvard Business School. It’s the first time Hyunjin’s ever been featured there post-elementary school, when his macaroni art was just slightly more advanced than the other kids in his class, and the sight of it leaves a bitter taste in his mouth because he did nothing to deserve the spot of honor. Unless the culmination of his life’s success is simply marrying Kim Seungmin.

    Hyunjin’s tasked with picking out their engagement rings, a pair of golden Tiffany bands. He sends Seungmin’s to him in the mail. His mom has to text Hyunjin the address. He doesn’t have Seungmin’s number saved in his phone.
