Work Text:
Rich and airy laughter echoed through the cafe in the streets of Seoul as a group of teens fresh out of high school classes were enjoying their coffee's at a corner table.
It was a warm and homey little cafe and the workers there were extremely familiar with the group of teens. One teen in particular was giggling while sipping his coffee slowly. His dark brown eyes watching one of his friends dramatically flail his arms around whole telling a story.
"And then she decided to give us A L L detention. I told my mum and God I think she made the teacher piss herself right then and there" said friend let out a high squeaky laugh.
"Your mom is just as strong and scary as you are Wooyoung" a blonde female spoke up. Wooyoung rolled his eyes "I'm not that scary Rin! Seonghwa, am I scary?"
Seonghwa, the boy with dark brown eyes, looked back to wooyoung and shrugs "only when you corner me with a makeup pallet." That seemed to make Wooyoung dramatically gasp in horror and clutch his chest in a fake show of agony. "You wound me Hwa"
"Woo, you're gonna scare off literally half of the cafe if you don't shut up" a blonde by the name of Yeosang said in a playful yet serious tone. The two got into a mini fight as Seonghwa huffed affectionately. He really loved these idiots with his whole heart.
A jingle of the cafe door chimes caught their attention as a shorter girl with long red hair ran up to their table, sliding into the booth.
It was Aimee, she had seemingly ran all the way here from quite a distance as her cheeks were stained red from exhaustion and she was panting rapidly.
"What's got you in such a tizzy Aimee?" Yeosang asked her, showing very little concern. He never really did like the girl, she lead people on and was always the dramatic type. Not Wooyoung kind of dramatic, but instead she liked to start problems just to be the centre of attention. Said girl smirked and slapped down a note on the table.
"A note?" Seonghwa responded with confusion. Aimee rolled her eyes with a rude sigh like it was obvious what it was. "NO, it's a confession you dummy. It's from mingi, the skater guy!"
Seonghwa froze as he stared at the piece of paper. He knew mingi, he had liked him for such a long time. He felt like a hole had been punched through his lungs and heart at the idea that Mingi would fall in love with someone like Aimee but he had to admit, she was beautiful.
Not just that, Aimee was almost perfect if it wasn't for her snobby personality. Her head was really up in the clouds...that was an understatement to say the least, her head was quite literally up in s p a c e. She really needed to lower her standards in people.
"Well, what did you say?? He's a hottie so I assume you said yes?" Wooyoung answered his own question. To their shock and, as seonghwa is quite ashamed to admit, joy she had shaken her head to signal that no, she hadn't said yes.
The reason as to why she had said no left a few of the occupants at the table quite unhappy. "No, my friends and I all agree that he isn't good enough for me just yet. His clothes are all baggy and he doesn't even try to look good for me. He hasn't bought me any gifts so I told him he has to try harder to date me"
Seonghwa was stunned. How could she say no to mingi, he was literally perfect. He got good grades, could rap and do music. He was kind and sweet and an angel all around.
What more could she possibly expect from him? Seonghwa glared at her "what more could he possibly give to you?"
The following response made seonghwa throw himself out of his seat and out of the cafe. "Money~" Seonghwa had stormed down the street in fury as Wooyoung, Yeosang and Rin tried to catch up.
Wooyoung had managed to grab his sleeve and spin him around. He planted his hands on Seonghwa's shoulders as the older seethed in anger. "Woah! Hwa? What's got you so mad? I've seriously never seen you this angry before"
Seonghwa pinched the bridge of his nose before he started pacing "literally what does he see in her? She's a gold digging piece of shit! Yeah she's pretty, smart, cool and can do ballet and is super graceful, but so am I. WHAT DOES SHE HAVE THAT I DONT-" He slaps a hand over his mouth before spinning to look at his friend group with wide eyes.
There was a silence so thick you could slice it with a knife as the trio stared at their group mom. The silence was broken by a sad sigh made by Yeosang as he looks at Seonghwa with a look of understanding "oh Hwa..." He opens his arms as the tallest flings himself into them to cry.
A week later the same group were hanging around school along with their other friend who couldn't make it before because of a tutoring session.
Jongho had been told all about what had happened and despite not liking skin ship in the slightest, he very willingly gave the mom friend a strong, comforting hug. The group now all really disliked Aimee but tried not to show it, they weren't rude like her.
Speaking of Aimee she had ran to their group and immediately latched onto seonghwas arm. "oppa! I'm sorry if I made you so upset a week ago, I wanted to apologise earlier but I was so busy. Can you please forgive me"
She gave him large puppy eyes that made him inwardly cringe but on the outside he just forced a smile. She was so not good enough for Mingi.
"AIMEE!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Said tall boy ran over with his own group of friends. The group had consisted of Mingi, Jeong Yunho the school's drama club and dance club leader, Choi San the high schools sweetheart, Kim Hongjoong the student body president and Sora the schools resident milf.
Yunho had taken it upon himself to drape his body over Yeosang's as the shorter flushed from surprise. "I-" Mingi had been about to say something when his eyes stopped on Seonghwa.
Mingi had taken a sharp breath, like it all got knocked out of him as he stared at Seonghwa. For Seonghwa, he thought that there was something on his face so he turned to ask Wooyoung who just slapped his shoulder while laughing. Mingi quickly spun towards Aimee and held out a bouquet of flowers towards her.
In response she just scoffed and pushed the flowers back towards him before skipping off. Mingi looked heartbroken.
Seonghwa couldn't just let the other boy stay so sad so he held Mingi's chin with his fingers and tilted his head to look up from the floor and at him. "She isn't worth your affection. She wants what you have material wise, not your love."
Mingi let a tear fall as the realisation that he'd never get to be with Aimee passed. He had to acknowledge it and move on. While the two of them were talking, Wooyoung had taken it upon himself to take everyone else away.
There was silence as the two stared into each other's eyes. Seonghwa blushed furiously and looked away from the taller.
"Uhm...my timing is probably so bad but there's something I really have to get off my chest, I feel if I don't then I won't be able to live with myself"
Mingi in return, did the exact same thing Seonghwa did to him and took his chin to get Seonghwa to look back into his eyes again. He smirked and tilted his head "and what would that be?"
At this point seonghwa was a scarlet mess. His face felt like it was on a fire and he was making some high pitched squeaking noises as he tried to come up with the appropriate words for his confession.
"I-uh, I've liked you for a r-realllllly long time now. I know you just got your heart broken and you're probably straight but could you give me a chance?"
Mingi was stunned into silence but not by the confession. He burst into laughter as Seonghwa let out a slightly offended gasp "why are you laughing at me!" He pouts angrily because laughing at someone's confession is incredibly rude.
Mingi gained his composure once again before explaining himself "god no I'm not laughing at you! I'm laughing at the idea of me being straight! Isn't it common knowledge that I'm bisexual?"
"...so is that a yes?" Mingi let out a few giggles before kissing Seonghwa on the forehead, the elder letting out another embarrassed squeak. "It certainly is a yes Seonghwa" the elder pouted once more and hit Mingi on his tiddie.
"Why didn't you give me a proper kiss?" Mingi shrugs "I wanna save it for our first date I guess. Tommorow at 7pm? I'll pick you up...you know how to skateboard right?"
Seonghwa shakes his head as a negative "nah, but I'm sure I could if you taught me huh skater boy?"
Mingi laughed and hopped onto his skateboard, blowing a kiss to seonghwa "I'll see you then~" and with that he skated off towards the bus stop down the street, leaving a flushed and overjoyed seonghwa to walk home, holding a hand over his heart and brushing fingers over the spot where Mingi had left a kiss.
Five years had passed from when Aimee had rudely rejected mingi. She was sorely regretting it. She had decided to sleep around as a teenager with as many men as she could, now she's 23 and has a baby with no father figure around.
The man had up and left as fast as he could but at least had the decency to pay for child support.
Sighing to herself as she fed her daughter, she grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels. Finally she landed On a music show and was listening to the song that was playing. It was extremely good.
The song was called "black cat nero" and she was shocked by how good it sounded. There seemed to be a group of 4 on stage and soon she recognised who they were.
Her jaw dropped as she saw her old friends Wooyoung and Jongho on stage absolutely jamming it.
Wooyoung was on drums and was absolutely killing it with the specific and on point beats he was hitting out, jazzing it up with a few cymbals and high hats.
Jongho was belting out vocals like she had never heard before even if they werent hard notes for him to hit.
Next she saw one of Mingi's friends, a boy called San. San was on bass and was shredding it, letting the deep tune flow out and knock the audience flat.
Last but not least her heart stopped when she saw who was on guitar. It was Mingi. His clothes were more fitted now as he looked almost like a vampire, his slitted eye contacts really fitting in with the song name.
Below the text was talking about their friend Kim Hongjoong being the one who organised and rewrote the song to fit their style.
He was magnificent, she wanted him. If she could convince him to take her as his girlfriend not only would she be absolutely loaded, but she wouldn't have to care for the stupid kid anymore.
She got a call from her other group of friends that she had kept in contact with and found out that they had all gotten tickets to see one of Mingi's groups shows.
This was her chance to go steal Mingi back again.
The show was absolutely bunged. There were people everywhere screaming and waving banners for their group. Aimee even got shoved by some desperate fans who wanted to get super close.
As the show had started everything just got even better, the effects on stage to the sound of live music, it was like Aimee was actually falling in love this time, not just for show.
At some stage Mingi had walked over with his guitar and had started shredding it in front of the pit sending the crowd absolutely wild. In a moment of desperation, she had screamed his name.
Surprisingly though, her shriek got drowned out by someone else's scream, and a familiar one at that. She looked to her right only to see Seonghwa leaning on the metal bars at the front of the pit.
He looked completely different, hair dyed a soft pastel pink as he stood in a mesh crop top and some skinny jeans. He looked softer and definitely a lot prettier than even Aimee.
She let out a scandalised gasp as Seonghwa blew a kiss up to Mingi and sneered when she expected Mingi to look at him in disgust.
She was horrified to find that mingi caught the kiss before winking and walking back, motioning to the backstage. Seonghwa had just nodded and started to make his way to go to the backstage area.
Aimee was pissed. That was her man, Seonghwa doesn't get to just act like a whore and steal her man.
She stomped after him angrily and had managed to catch up when he was almost back stage. She reached a hand up and grabbed a fist full of his beautiful pink locks.
" OW! what the hell-" He turned around, wincing as Aimee tugged his hair even more "Aimee? What the fuck are you doing, let go!" She just glared and kicked him in the shin, causing him to fall to the floor.
"How dare you steal my man you whore! He's mine, always has been always will be, you're just the second best, wait until he sees me and he'll leave you in the dust."
At this point, two security guards had turned the corner to see what the commotion was about. Upon seeing what was going on they had sprinted down the hall, one lifting Aimee off of Seonghwa and the other gently helping the man to his feet again.
They were quickly followed by the band, who also freaked out upon seeing their mom friend hurt.
Mingi was by his side in a matter of seconds "Are you alright love?" Seonghwa nodded and held Mingi's hands tightly in his "I'm alright baby, she just caught me off guard." Upon seeing who it was Mingi started to speak
"Aimee-" only to be cut off by Wooyoung trying to body slam her, being held back by San who didn't look like he actually wanted to hold him back "you son of a f u c k!"
She looked back to Mingi, expecting to see a love filled expression but was shocked to see his eyes full of hatred and malice towards her.
"How dare you come here and try to attack Seonghwa, and to say those horrible things about him as well, you're lucky I'm not letting Wooyoung fight you, cause he'd be worse than whatever the police could do to you."
[Ci] "Mr Park, shall we remove this guest and blacklist them so they cannot attend any further shows?" That got Aimee's attention and stopped her screaming fit.
"Mr Park? But your name is Song Mingi?" Mingi just proudly held up his ring finger to show off a beautiful engagement ring as well as a wedding band.
Seonghwa smirked as Mingi pulled him close in an embrace "yes he's Mr Park now, we got married about a year ago. You made a mistake leaving behind such a gentleman for your own greedy desires. He's my skater boy now"
He stuck his tongue out at her childishly as Mingi giggled at his husbands silliness. Aimee, now getting escorted out by security, was livid as she shrieked about how she doesn't deserve this.
"...what a crazy bitch, ANYWAY who wants ramen :D" Yunho, one of their dancers amongst the performances they do had just shown up after getting changed.
The sudden change of topic had everyone in stitches, even Yunho's more calm and collected boyfriend Yeosang.
The dinner celebration after such a successful concert was eventful, Hongjoong and wooyoung even performing their own version of last Friday night by Katie Perry. The two husbands however just sat side by side, holding hands.
"I'm so glad you decided to confess to me that day, or else I might have actually been chasing that crazy bitch. I love you~" Seonghwa scoffs and shoves a hand in Mingi's face "oh shut up you sap..."
"I love you too~"
