This is stupid.
Who will believe them? Bet no one. And why does Minho agree to it again? Because it’s Jisung who asked him to. What did he ask him to do again? To be his fake spouse, a fake wife to be exact.
But look where he is now. In front of a mirror, wearing a skirt he’s been refusing to wear 15 minutes ago. Jisung said he will treat him to an expensive sushi place after, so he agreed to it, just like that. Actually it’s not because of that, it’s because Jisung is his housemate, his best friend, his crush. If people will think Lee Minho— now being Lee Minha, is his wife, then so be it. Even if they think he’s a woman.
Minho didn’t really understand either why Jisung asked him to be his wife when he can pretend to be his husband instead, of course he will like that better.
But then Jisung said, “I haven’t outed myself to them.”
He did.
He did drunk-called his mother one night, crying and telling her he’s not into women.
But then he said again, “it’s okay, Minho. I bought you this skirt already. If you don’t wear it, it’ll be a waste, right?” plus Jisung said he will buy Dori some treats too. So it’s a lot of win for him.
Looking back at the mirror, he sees himself again. A black long sleeve shirt, grayish skirt that goes below his knees, a black beret on top of his long-haired wig. Let’s just hope Jisung’s family will believe their lie.

Jisung is always full of ideas. But it’s either stupid or not working at all. He once told Minho he’s ditching class because he wanted to buy a gloves bread. It’s exactly what it's named after. A gloves bread. He came to Minho’s house and was shocking the hell out of his brother, Felix, because of that. And of course he got a zero point for the sudden test the class had when he missed it.
Or that time when Jisung asked Minho to wear more makeup when they’re going to the bar one night, insistently said they would look more beautiful and the chance of having a one-night stand would increase too. Sadly, he came with Minho who’s more attractive in the men’s eyes that night, ending up with Jisung sulking for a whole week.
Minho is automatically a yes man to whatever Jisung said and asked him to do. One time, when he's late for work and Jisung had just woken up, he asked Minho to make himself a ramen. It might be jokingly said, reflexively coming out from his mouth, but Minho, who’s late for work still made him a ramen. Thankfully he didn’t get that much scolding from his superior.
Another time, when Jisung said he will have a hook-up coming for a night, Minho let himself sleep at the hotel for a night. He didn’t know if he would bear the sound if he still slept there.
But he’s also thankful for Jisung. When they’re still neighbors, Jisung took care of him so much. He remembers when Jisung’s still in college and he’s still doing part time here and there, Jisung sometimes would share his mom’s food with him. They’re always eating and spending their days-off together. Sometimes Minho cooked him some food, or they shared Jisung’s mom's food. They watched movies together, even had a lot of stay overnight together. Maybe this is why he has a crush on him.
Maybe this is also why he agreed on his stupid idea.
ㅇㅇㅇ
Minho didn’t know who’s more stupid at this point. Jisung who has this stupid idea, himself who’s agreeing to Jisung’s stupid idea, or even Jisung’s family who believes their stupid act of lie.
“Minha, you’re so beautiful. What’s the secret of your routine?” Jisung’s mom asked him while grabbing both of his hands. Minho just smile and try to change his tone.
“Ah, no I don’t really have a routine.”
“That's bullshit. Your skin is so fair. Come tell mom, I’ll keep it a secret.”
Minho giggled at that. Jisung’s family is so warm. They’re so accepting even if Jisung told them they married in secret, without telling anyone, without telling them.
The dinner went so well and now they’re back at their apartment, the wig is taken off and Minho changed his clothes to sweatpants already. Comes Jisung from the bathroom.
“Aw, I really like you wearing the skirt. You look so pretty in that.” Minho focused more on his phone even if Jisung’s words got him red. But Jisung suddenly sits beside him and kisses his neck, making Minho stiff suddenly.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” He moves himself from Jisung, he doesn't want Jisung to hear his fast heartbeat.
“No, but why do you smell so nice?”
“Hey, Han. About your family..” He tries to change the topic.
“My family? What about them?” Jisung sits himself more comfortably beside Minho, taking his phone from the bedside table and messages his mom, telling her they’re arrived.
“Uh…” Should he really ask? Will Jisung get offended?
“Ask away, Min.”
“Did they really believe I am your spouse?” He looks at Jisung and Jisung looks back at him. Minho can’t really read his face now, making him more anxious.
He didn’t offend him, right?
Because you know, it’s like he’s asking if Jisung’s family was that stupid to believe their lie, just like that.
“Hmm yes, they did.”
What? Really? Are they that dumb? Even if Minho is /that/ beautiful, he doesn’t think of himself having a woman's body. He doesn’t even have boobs to begin with. Well, he does but you know that’s not what it means.
“They believe I am a woman?” He puts his phone beside him and changes his seating position to face Jisung. Jisung just looked at him confused.
“They believe you are my spouse.”
“Huh?”
“They do believe you are my spouse, yes. My mom said, you’re beautiful to wear that dress. She said you’re a beautiful man.”
He blinked once, twice, third, and four times. He’s trying to process what Jisung said. Is that true?
“W-what? W-wait. But they didn’t tell me anything?”
“Uh, yeah. They just told me— but don’t worry! They really love you!”
“Han! Why didn’t you tell me?!” He starts hitting Han on the arms, the embarrassment being caught lying is really makes him feel stupid. And he thought they succeeded in lying to them.
“Damn. Minho, it hurts!” Han grabbed Minho’s hand and stopped him from hitting his arms.
“Listen. Remember when Mom asked you to play with my nephew? She said it to me then! She was smiling when she said it too! It’s ok, baby. She said the truth, you are a beautiful man.”
Minho groans and hides himself in the blanket, hoping to erase himself from their memories. Damn, he knew this is stupid.
“Aw, don’t hide, princess. You’re really pretty. I wish to see you in that again sometimes, just the two of us.”
He knew this is stupid, but he knew as well he’s loving it, so much.
