for : victoria jang @anelectrichigh — heartbreaker bar.
it's a real shame. things had been going so well for him tonight, up into rome punched him in the face right next to a dumpster. is that what he gets for trying to break up a fight ? the purple bruise forming on his cheekbone doesn't exactly match with the pink suit, buttons managing to find themselves completely undone after quite a night and perhaps that's the saving grace he needs. yet he's exactly where he wants to be, in the eyes of her. " i feel like i should clarify, this isn't my fault. i was a casualty of someone else's battle. i'm more of you know ... a lover, than a fighter. not that i can't fight, i mean, " he gestures down to his abs, a mark of true strength. the wounded features and lack of proper attire would almost have you thinking that that he's some kind of bad boy, except minkyu is nothing but smiles. it's victoria he's in front of anyway, less of the usual audacious comments in lieu of something more gentlemanly. out of character to the naked eye but a choice made out of sincerity. " anyway, can i buy the prettiest girl in all of miami a drink ? "

his thirst for attention remains unquenched, happy to indulge in the presence of his so - called enemy. the logic didn't add up, because if minkyu was meant to dislike the nariza bois, why were they all so hot ? it's a little rude that she doesn't hold the door open, but he soldiers on nonetheless. " nory's a cute name. won't use the classic heaven line on you, i'm sure you get that one enough, " he says with a grin. the look she gives him doesn't faze him either, if anything he starts feeling giddy, like he was doing something he wasn't meant to be doing. " minkyu. prince. whatever you wanna call me. " his words are spoken sweetly, a contrast to the look she's giving him. he watches as her eyes trail down and— wait a minute, she's staring right at his crotch! granted that's where his hands were too, but wow, no class ? that's fantastic.he grins at the observation, because of course he's a model. what else would a face like this be doing ? " got that right. think it's better i leave the cool shit up to the rest of you guys, keep the competition fair for everyone, " he jokes, as if he hasn't ruined far too many rims from how often he hits the curb.
a stray lingers behind her. their presence only serves to sour her mood, but she's not about to pivot from her smoke - filled oasis just because a prowler wanted to trail along. she breathes out a sigh as she opens the door, hopes it's an audible noise despite the brain-rattling volume of the music. 〝 nory's fine. heaven too. 〞 she continues pushing forward, not making an effort to hold the door for him. when her back finally makes contact with an exterior wall, she gives him a scrutinizing look. 〝 who are you ? 〞 nory recognizes him, but she can't place her finger on it. not a racer, she would remember that— so a mechanic or model. her eyes flicker down to his hands & she tilts her head. 〝 guessing one of the models. 〞

for : sinn rattanasiri @overdr1ves
where : heartbreaker bar.
" hey, gorgeous. wanna kiss a little ? " minkyu is giving up on subtlety in 2007, sliding into the stool next to sinn and making his intentions clear. except, he was kind of joking, but also not if sinn was in. it was a fine balance between being a silly and fun guy and never letting himself dwell on the inevitable. it was fun and games, at least most of it was. minkyu didn't consider himself a serious person, despite whatever emotionally repressed damage he usually just ignored anyway. life was too short, and he decided somewhere along the line that he was too cool to ever be a downer. minkyu bides the time by ordering himself a vodka soda, making a face once learning what the house vodka was. it certainly was no 12welve, even beyond the dingy interior. but minkyu had a crisp ten dollar bill in his pocket and a dream. " and before you call me ‘ kid ’ again, i think you should acknowledge that i'm taller than you. by a whole inch. "

for : won jihoon @wilds1de
where : their apartment.
" oh sweetheart, dinner is here ! " minkyu boasts as he unlocked the door, a black bag filled with fifteen cobs of corn and a sixteen pack of jihoon's favorite instant ramen. he just got paid for this foot cream ad he'd done a few weeks ago, and promptly spent it all in one day. he had no money for rent yet, but he had corn and noodles ! what a good roomie he was ! minkyu was keeping his promise to buy dinner, even if he's sure jihoon didn't have such a bad time at 12welve. his friend is just dramatic, no shame in that. " you're not in the shower, are you ? if you are, lemme join. utility bill was high as fuck last month. maybe i should stop doing my skincare routine with the same water running. " the steam did wonders to open up pores, and minkyu was a model after all. if he wasn't hot, what even was he ?

for : victoria jang @anelectrichigh
where : somewhere in miami.
she's like a siren, calling his attention without ever knowing it. minkyu is a chill guy, for the most part at least. but of course, he sees victoria in the middle of the street and suddenly minkyu is checking himself out in the side mirror of someone's car like a loser, all because there's no way he's going to look bad in front of her, not when he could spin this potentially upcoming interaction as fate. oh, you're here ? that's crazy, running into each other. signs from the universe or whatever. surely the effects of his hero - like gesture haven't worn off, proving that he's a serious individual worthy of her attention. it's winter, but winter in miami at that, so he's showing off his arms in a muscle tank, walking coolly toward her even though the breeze in the air makes him want to die. minkyu clears his throat, both to bring attention to himself but also so that he can make his voice lower. sexier, in his delusions at least. " fancy seein' you here. "

" oh tania, my dear tania. are we getting me laid tonight or what ? " minkyu says, perhaps a little too loudly as the two walk into the bar. it hasn't been too long since the festivities at 12welve, but minkyu can never quite sit still for long. he made himself a smoothie containing a raw egg and orange juice for the hangover, and it worked like a charm ! he shoots them a grin, sliding in the the slightly sticky bar stool and folding his hands on top of the somehow stickier bar top. " 'm having like ... a wicked dry spell. here's what i'm thinking, okay ? we take a few shots each, scout out what the vibe is here tonight, and then hopefully, i use this twenty i found in jihoon's jean pocket to spoil a lucky someone. thoughts ? "

for : juno choi @tun3rs
where : birds eye.
" one of your crew mates shot me a nasty look when they saw i snuck it here. jokes on them for not kicking me out, " minkyu says in a hushed voice, tucking himself behind juno, despite him being taller and bigger anyway. after the new years race, he really should be calling this place enemy territory. he nudges her side, shooting her a boyish grin with compliments in tow. " congrats on the win, juney bug. looked fuckin' sick out there. i woulda congratulated you then and there, but shit the prowlers ? they were all pissed as hell. saw yani giving everyone the third degree, almost had me thinking i did something wrong too. " was it really wrong though ? minkyu was a man of affection and love, how could he possibly contain all his heart had to give to one crew ( especially when half of them liked to grumble and look displeased by his enthusiastic demeanor ).

for : eric kim @mvmentum
where : bay parking garage.
it was jarring to wake up and find out that today was january 2nd. fuck, did he seriously sleep through the entirety of new year's day ? it's probably why he's feeling so refreshed, and not because of the red bull he'd shotgunned thirty minutes ago. his park job is shoddy, managing to put his car just in between two open spaces. all was well though, he was here to see his people. to offer his tongue for any potential wounds to lick. the loss was an unfortunate one, except he was kind of friends with the winner, so it hadn't hurt him too bad. he spots eric a little too quickly, all alone and ready to be bothered, of course. " what's up, dude ! what a fuckin' blowout the other night right ? bet if it were you on the track, you'd smoke 'em, easy. "

" well i didn't offer anyway, " he mumbles, crossing his arms over his chest like this silly title was all that he had left. whatever ! tem could keep her jaded views on kissing and the art of it to herself, because he was more than content with his other - worldly view of it, where everything was magical and the sparks were always flying. nobody seemed to fall in love as fast as he did, perhaps because the foundation of it was something he was never taught." bert nernie ? i've never heard of him, his name is kind of weird. " he wasn't allowed to watch children's programs growing up. instead he dissociated in the early mornings before school while everyone on tv cheered over the stock market opening. so he's stuck believing that tem is legitimately seeking therapy from a guy called bert, and that he's meant to follow suit. maybe he'd pass, something about a guy psychoanalyzing him sounded less fun than if it were a girl doing it. he eyes marzipan's temporary replacement and frowns." wouldn't people at your school think you're cool though ? that seems like reason enough. " he barely has one car, and tem has two. what a lucky duck she is ! when minkyu was college, all he had was a skateboard to get him to class. " oh, shit, really ? do i know any of them ? any enemy of yours is an enemy of mine ! " his loyalty stretches that far, though it may become flimsy if tem has some particularly attractive enemies. " oh, he's mad into me, which would be cool if he wasn't like ... a senior citizen. not really my type, i think. " he lets tem tug him about, like he isn't clearly the much larger of the two. an absurd sight at the very least. " okay, i flirt you, you run. sounds like a good plan. he's been asking for my number anyway. kinda don't wanna give him mine. you got any of your enemies phone numbers on you ? "
" we won't be kissing, so the person i kissed is now the master of the craft forever in my head. " not that she doubted minkyu's ability to kiss or whatever. if you kiss that many people you have to be good at it, right ? but she was looking for a romantic turn to her kisses, and minkyu didn't really seem like he'd be a good tutor for the ' get someone to fall in love with you ' part. she was absolutely not locking lips until she was sure they're the one. or at least, mostly the one. 1/4ths of the one. " oh, my therapist is, ummm. bert nernie. real famous guy. " did minkyu ever watch the muppets ? were those two muppets or something else ? whatever, she didn't have time to worry about that. her stomach's started rumbling, like a monster from the abyss demanding cherry coke. " this is my every day car ! you think i would put marzipan in a university parking lot ? she's too precious to have a parking sticker on her. " they could give the dip to a nariza boi, if they could get close enough. tem's eyes narrow as she inspects minkyu. " well, yes, i have many enemies. but they're not gonna take anything from me. alright, we'll leave that for another time. " shrug ! once again, the universe stops her from having the most fun possible. she loops her arm around minkyu's, more tugging than walking. " you think they'll give you the dip for free ? maybe they're into you. when we get to the register, start flirting to distract them, and i'll snatch the stuff and run. and you can keep the $5 that way. "

for : won jihoon ( @wilds1de )
location : minkyu & jihoon's apartment, late morning
it's almost more disorienting to wake up without a hangover in this situation. to see and know exactly where things went, to know when a few drinks and comfort turned into something more. his clothes are on a floor they've never laid before, littered around and—oh my god, his room is a mess ? a mute point, maybe something easier to digest than the fact that he was laying naked in won jihoon's bed, next to won jihoon, wrapped in won jihoon's arms. it was so insane that minkyu was full - naming him in his mind. it's less surprising as it all feels sudden. something about his roommate's dejected demeanor walking into their apartment last night, a few questions never really answered, a few empty glasses scattered on the living room coffee table. was he being selfish ? maybe he hadn't been the one to lean in, but it was no secret where minkyu's own affections lied. and he'd take and take what he was given, even when he knew he shouldn't. he finally peers up at jihoon who has seemingly begun to stir. minkyu is a big guy, but somehow he feels a little bit small right now, and his big puppy dog eyes might as well be the first thing his roommate wakes up to. " ... hey, dude. " easy flowing words, easy as the way he'd been staring. he wasn't sure if he wanted to act like he wasn't anyway. " didn't peg you for a cuddler. it's nice, probably would be nicer if the a/c wasn't half broken. "

for : ezra harris ( @thr0ttle ) — rodani wheels.
even someone as unfazed as minkyu has no choice but to cringe as he pulls into the rodani garage. he had timed it perfectly, seeing as his dear roommate was still at home while he slipped away unsuspectingly ( he'd made so much noise ). after all, there was only one person he could show the disaster to, toothy grin on his face when he spots him in plain sight. “ hey ezzie, guess my car's not the only thing that's smoking today ! ” he was still work - shopping nicknames for ezra. maybe one day he'd be cool with minkyu calling him rah, or rawr. or raze, like all the letters mixed up ? he was giving this a lot of thought, anything for his new and super sexy friend. perhaps the moniker was the least of his issues right now though, since he's pulled up into the garage with his engine sounding more like a dj's turn - table than a functioning vehicle. no worries, nothing his superstar couldn't fix ! “ alright, so i yahooed the problem before coming here, and turns out, you have to change the oil in cars ? fucking crazy, why doesn't it just do that on it's own ? that must be it, just ignore that the bumper's on the ground. i like it that way. ” he actually does not. cars are so stupid, minkyu whines to himself. “ so, you know … you quick fix it, and i treat you to the buffet at cici's and my warm body. all you can eat pizza and me ! sweet deal, right ? ”

for : eliana pedraza ( @wilds1de ) — eliana's apartment, late february.
there's a reason minkyu doesn't think too often, because when he does, it's almost like a system overload. there he lays nice and pretty and definitely without any clothes on, eyes shut pretending he's still asleep. he likes whatever is going on between them, it's fun and easy and lacks judgment on either side, and it's only natural to have landed in this very position. it is for the best that he's not in his own bed, something about jihoon's potential judgmental eyes about sleeping with the enemy enough to pull him out of whatever fantasyland that exists when he's around eliana. but it's not like he doesn't know the proper etiquette after sleeping with someone you're not meant to be emotionally attached to. it typically involves getting out of the bed that isn't yours and finding an excuse to go home. yet there he lays, the feeling of eyes on him the only thing to pull him out of this poorly shown ruse. he yawns like he's still tired and definitely hadn't been awake for the better part of an hour, eyes eventually opening and shooting them a lazy grin. " oh, hey ... good morning. " he plays it cool, stretching out his limbs and pretending like this is all totally okay. he's not overthinking anything ! he's not thinking at all ! " what time is it ? " it's 9:45. minkyu knows this because thirty minutes ago he'd checked his phone inconspicuously. " ... you don't have like a secret nariza roommate waiting to beat me up outside, right ? " he jokes.

there was something entirely unchanging about minkyu and his approach. if rejected, he'd ask again. if accepted, he'd ask again. his kindness had never been conditional, but rather something that seeped out of him and poured over the feet of anyone that stood around long enough. he almost half expects jet to say no, but it doesn't stop the question from remaining the same. he fades with the rejection and brightens with the approval, emotions written all over his face to be taken for granted. " cool, tequila it is then ! does it make you slutty too ? i know whenever i drink it, everyone becomes like twenty times hotter, " he jokes, though the truth isn't very far off. the bartender who's already grown tired of him lets out a sigh when minkyu loudly waves his body around, house liquor poured into two shot glasses and presented to the pair. " i like mine with salt and lime, that way it's like ... a game or something. like having a really shitty margarita, kinda. " he toys with the salt shaker, glancing at jet like he's looking for directions on something he already knows how to do.
the alcohol excuse is losing steam even in jet’s own mind. he is not nearly buzzed, tipsy, drunk enough to say yes to shots with minkyu. his head is honestly clearer than it should be for a guy who has been sat in a bar for… however long he’s been here. but sobriety aside, he says yes. the night has already gone off the rails in so many other weird ways – why draw the line at drinking with the prowlers’ prince ? he had smiled so wide when jet so much as agreed to hang out, maybe it’s worth doing something stupid to avoid that wounded puppy look that makes him feel weird. it’s something he’s seen before – that disappointment when jet says no. like a dog being scolded. it sits uneasy in his chest every time and with the amount of out-of-character decisions he’s making right now, there’s no telling what he’d do if confronted with that pathetic face. “ i’ll take whatever shots you order. ” he knows he can’t shoot whiskey with a straight face and would rather not risk being caught in a lie right now. “ i guess tequila is easiest to do shots with, at least for me. ”

for : xile rosario @drftings
where : rodani wheels.
" you look beautiful under that hood, xile. i could get under your hood too, y'know ? anytime, anywhere. " his crass words are spoken so sweetly, unknowing if the matching grin on his face is visible to her at all. he doesn't mind, he's sure her response will be the same either way. dare minkyu say, that he misses her company, even if she's mean to him 95% of the time. jokes on her, because he's super into that anyway. " new pick up line, whatcha' think ? it's like ... mechanic specific too, i'm leveling it up this year. " this was his year, even if he'd said the same exact thing last year. optimism is only a few steps shy from delusion after all, and he's nothing if not proudly both. minkyu takes himself to the closest seating area, an empty chair that creaks when he takes a seat. he decides he won't be even more crude and offer her a seat on his lap whenever she takes a break, mostly because the chair would definitely break. " is it just me or the vibes really off ? not between us, obviously. just like ... with the loss and shit. it's bringing the sexy factor in here all the way down. "

the bar is calling his name, an empty glass in hand forbidden on a night like this. everyone seems to be having a good time, and why wouldn't they ? he could be a spokesperson for 12welve with how often he came here. the allure of a noisy nightclub and it's sweet, indulgent offerings, it's only fitting for it to be the background of a night where people start anew, make promises they won't keep and chase change that will never come. minkyu shoots ben a smile, knowing what he's doing as he slides in next the other. " nah, you'd catch me, wouldn't you ? besides, i just bumped into you because i wanted some attention. i'm only a klutz when it comes to that damn stick shift. " why didn't they just make cool cars that go fast and required minimal effort ? all minkyu was looking to do was race down biscayne, get noticed by a mildly problematic celebrity, and take it as his claim to fame. but the car gods had to go and make things impossible. " havin' a good night, superstar? i caught you earlier, making everyone holler and hoot. didn't know you had it in you ! "
location : 12welve , lower level lounge area status : open to anyone !
he's holding court , basically , as is the norm for cash - because when he's out like this , he's cash and not really ben , more gregarious and funny and charming , his regular self , just on ten . the people around him laugh at a joke he makes and that allows him to excuse himself from the crowd , wanting another beer that is for sure comped because he and the bartender are old friends , go way back , got him for the one thing that one time at the one place , whatever . he's waiting for said beer when someone bumps into him and as opposed to getting mad enought to start swinging , ben looks down with a wide grin . “ watch out , if i wasn't here , you'd be falling flat on your ass . ”
