mingi : friends to lovers
warnings: none!
type: bulletpoint au, fluff
word count: 1989 (a lil short!! iâm very sorry)
a/n: as a san stan, we get fed content every 30 minutes and yâall mingi stans are the backbone of the fandom
you and mingi have a very sweet friendship, really
he and you would most likely die for each other
but also if he touches your charger you WILL kill him
you met through another friend, at their birthday party
right after you congratulated them and handed them their gift, mingi came around the corner and clumsily nearly spilled a drink on you
he still apologized though!!! AND offered to check for you if there was a drink anywhere
your friend laughed and introduced you two
'he's cute isn't he?'
oh boy was he!!!
he really was sweet too; you didnât know anyone else but your friend and now, him, and he was nice enough to let you stick to him like glue
you even ended up exchanging numbers, and playing 8ball in your respective cabs when the party ended
from then on you began texting
and it grew into exchanging social media
to being inseparable in real life too
mingi would constantly bug you to go out and eat with him
and youâd frequently go shopping together (or window shopping. mingi just LOOKS stingy)
when your snap streaks had officially reached 420 days, mingi made sure to screenshot it and post it on all social media
as he did with any you content in general
and letâs be honest with ourselvesâ mingiâs a very, very beautiful person
so there was no shortage of people in his dms
most of which happened to be opening with âare you singleâ
because of your numerous posts together, it just didnât seem likely
but really, youâd say âewâ to that, because ew, thatâs your best friend
who youâve seen snotty crying over a picture of a particularly small puppy resting on a very large cat
and who has seen YOU snotty crying over the same picture but shhhh
you honestly think thereâs no way you like him
your heart doesnât palpitate around him or anything like that
(your chest just gets concerningly warm, so does your face and ears, and you have to take several gulps of air to compose yourself when he smiles. shhhhh)
EVEN if you did (which you donât!) he wouldnât like you back
heâs mingi
all mingi likes is dragging you out of bed by your feet
and making you regret giving him a spare key to your place
heâs in general grossly sappy, though
he fully understands that heâs cute and you detest it
because he ASKS you. he has the gall, the nerve to put on a silly cat, make a face at you in the store youâre in, and ask if heâs cute
and you want to say yes and laugh along with him but you settle for sighing and saying âsureâ
but each and every time
he smiles
and itâs really rejuvenating. maybe an angel gets its wings or something. or fairies get born?
you two once debated over which of those two phrases is better, and you were the firm âfairy gets its wingsâ believer
until he seemed a bit pouty and you decided to just merge the two
you have very stupid discussions
of the âdo we belong in a circusâ kind
(yes, you might)
his very hidden talent is carrying a lot of mugs
mingiâs fingers are long, and he hangs the mugs off of them while maintaining focus
his record? 24 mugs
one of which broke while he walked from his room to the dishwasher
he was sad about it because it was a mug shaped like a bird
and you had to both comfort him and drive him in his tears to the store to get another one
to be fair, you also felt bad. so, so bad, because the mug was ADORABLE and you could tell mingi thought so too
but you got a Mingi Hug out of it later
when he thanked you, he really did go all out
(he put in no effort, he was just very huggable and it was very nice)
it was when you were very tired and on the brink of Death⢠(you know, Deathâ˘, like when you just want to nap for 78 hours somewhere in a forest temple)
that you two decide to go to a 7/11
you both unfortunately have this thing called responsibilities so for whatever reason, neither of you can sleep
and so you offer to mingi to meet up at the store between your houses
to which he agrees, and asks if he can come over
to which you say no, but you also say YOLO⢠and decide to leave your work in progress to meet up with your friend
(be gay do crime)
you donât really do either, actually, you respectfully pay for your drinks and those packaged meals which are never as good at day as when they are at night
he insists you use the plastic bag you two had as a seat so your butt doesnât get cold
and you do, but you also try and elbow his shin when he also sits down on the concrete
you are reminded of the ew feeling of seeing your best friend scarf down sushi like itâs soup
and he somehow manages to talk coherently about his stupid escapade which brought him to this point of meeting up with you
itâs so frustratingly endearing
because you know heâs enjoying himself if he doesnât stop talking, and you know heâs comfortable around you
and thatâs what makes you heart FINALLY flutter
it doesnât take long for you two to depart, when you finish your own food and drink
and berate him a bit for not saving his drink for when he ended his meal and then stole a sipâ no, a GULP from you
that night you give up on your project
(obviously not entirely)
but youâre certainly too busy to think straight
and lying in your bed with your heart beating quick is something you find pretty exhilarating
itâs actually pretty nice to like someone
because anything mingi does is fun, too
he gives you his jacket? perfection
he gives you a noogie? not AS perfect or ideal, but youâre happy he has you in a headlock because itâs a touch of human contact
and you like This human
he tries talking to you about what he would do if aliens landed
and you call him out on his bullshit, not because heâs wrong but because you love him <3 and heâs also wrong
he would NOT try and be nice to them, heâd immediately go in and look if thereâs more species
âmingi would accidentally bring doomsday because heâd reject the flirting of an alien princessâ yunho (who you met through mingi on the exact day of your 420 streak) adds, from somewhere near you guys in mingiâs apartment, and you absolutely agree
âmarriage proposal? come on, iâd know!â
yunho looks at you, then at mingi, then back at you, and just shakes his head
and you feel offended because youâre aware of what yunhoâs thinking
but mingiâs less on board
âare you saying theyâre an alien princess?â
you argue that if you were an alien, youâd abolish the monarchy
but you also add that youâd rather be king if it came down to it
mingi is very insistent and itâs then when you realize that your heart is beating like that again
because heâs stood up and taken you with him to show to yunho that youâd make a terrific alien princess if only they put you in a sci-fi dress and crown
you want to put mingi in a sci-fi dress and crown all of a sudden, you donât know : /
itâs prerogative you get more than one Mingi Hug
Mingi Hugs are a bit of an oddity
not because he doesnât hug you often
itâs just that this is such a specific brand of hug that he reserves for moments of vulnerability
where he protectively wraps his arms around you, but places his head on your shoulder to hide his face
maybe heâs crying, maybe youâre crying, maybe neither is happening and heâs just grateful youâre there, but youâve noticed he doesnât do it as often to other people
itâs really cute, though
youâre sitting on your roof one night
not star gazing, mingi just said he read an article that said some phenomena will hit the skies
you tried to listen to him but he was so excited that explaining failed him and he just grabbed your hand to pull you out
(not that you were complaining, he was so gentle and cute)
you are lying down next to each other; and heâs pointing out constellations to you
you see some of them, others are less easy to spot, but every once in a while he rambles about something interesting he knew
but then it starts
you hear a sizzling first, and then a shot
and your sky is red⌠with a firework
after that, thereâs another pound, the colour this time pink
it is prettyâ colours exploding against the night sky is pretty
but what the hell? this isnât a nebular event
itâs when you finally tear your eyes away from the sky to mingi to interrogate him that you see heâs already looking at you
and he has a very sweet smile on his face
âitâs our 500th snap streak dayâ
and you arenât stupid, so you know heâs behind the fireworks, but
âwhy?â
and he lets out a very burdened sigh before he grabs your wrist, and places your hand in his
âit means iâve liked you for 500 daysâ
thereâs two emotions fluctuating all throughout
relief and joy
so you scoot over and let go of his hand so that you can swing your arms around his neck
his arms, for the first time, are loose, and you can absolutely hear the beating of his heart
the fireworks stop all of a sudden when your neighbour yells
but you ignore her so you can try and get even closer to mingi
you mumble that you like him too
however he hugs you tighter
and tells you he canât hear you
but he DEFINITELY CAN AND HEâS JUSTâUGHHH
so you decide to be even worse about it
and you y e l l it
now the whole neighbourhood knows you like mingi
though it does gradually grow into love
mingiâs a very caring boyfriend; after all, he was exactly the same as a friend
now with the added bonus of being able to kiss you
which is a power he abuses thoroughly
he gives forehead and temple kisses the most
and heâs a very terrible gremlin, so he sometimes holds your head only to bring it to his lips
or heâll pick you up randomly
âcan you tell i worked out?â
yes, you can, but youâre more focused on trying to land safely if he loses his grip
not that you donât trust him
you trust him in every aspect of the relationship
heâs reliableâ and also brings you food at inconvenient times of the day
plus you get to visit each other whenever
he likes doing animal face masks with you
and offers a bath every. time.
he runs some of the best bubble baths though, you canât lie
heâs also very warm most of the time, so if youâre a heat sink⌠guess what! you no longer are!
mingiâs also very careful
he makes mistakes often; physically breaking things, sometimes he doesnât know his strength, and so on
but heâs always ready to apologize and get you something new
he sometimes ends up going too far with a joke?
apology!
heâs very meticulous with it too. words mean as much as actions to him, and so thereâs a lot of meaning in his apologies
heâs just cute
youâre both very cute but also a very annoying couple
pda? sheâs your best friend
*yeosang cringes*

3. My Chance
âAinsley. Youâre positive this will work?â
Itâs Friday morning and Avery was given the day off for the first phase of Operation Max. Ainsley set Avery up with her own hair stylist. It was not starting off so well.
Why did Avery have to change everything about herself for this article?
âOh yeah.â Ainsley sent Avery a link to Maxâs latest photo op from a downtown club last night. âYou got this Ace.â
Ainsley was the only person Avery allowed to use the nickname. Anyone else who tried it out for size was not met with warmth.
She couldnât understand how she not only inherited her maternal grandfatherâs name but his nickname as well.
A shoe repairman during the day and a club owner at night, her grandfather was not to be trifled with. He gambled good, thatâs how Avery Maddax got the nickname Ace.
âExplain this to me again? How is this supposed to go?â Avery opened the link and was met with a photo of Max Kelly kissing his ex wife. To her it looked like the woman was enjoying the PDA session more than the guy. Still how do those two keep appearing in tabloids? Their divorce was a year ago, not that Avery kept up with that sort of thing.
âStep one.â Ainsley paced back and forth in front of a sitting Avery. âWe make you over.â
âI still donât see how this is relevant to the job.â
âPhillip and I have a goal Ace. We want something about Max Kelly that no one else has. In order to do that, you canât approach him like a reporter.â
âBut Iâm not a reporter.â
âBut you do look like one.â
Avery looked down at her tailored navy slacks, her cream button up and grey flat ballerina shoes, her hair was in a pain ponytail.
Maybe she looked a little reporterish.
âHow long do you think it will take to get the article?â
âA weekend, a week tops. Depends on you Ace.â
The hair stylish spun Avery around to face the mirror. She frowned into her reflection, âAnd weâre starting with my hair?â She pulled on her unnaturally straight hair. She was going to miss it.
Her cousin nodded, âNext is make-up and then clothes. The last step will be dropping you off at the club tonight.â
âTonight?â
Ainsley fully grinned, âYes my dear cousin. Tonight. Do you have your pen and paper ready?â
She laughed at Averyâs confusion as she sat in the salon lobby waiting on the first part of the transformation. The mom-to-be snacked while she started coming up with the game plan for Averyâs clothes.
Avery just knew something was never going to be the same after tonight.
All too quickly her hair was finished.
The straight hair was gone and her natural curls were in full bloom on the top of her head. She never understood why people were so obsessed with her curl pattern when she was younger.
Finally at the age of twenty-six she understood.
Maybe she wouldnât miss the bone straight hair that she kept out of her face on a daily bases. She felt different somehow and they had only just begun with the first change being her hair.
âThis screams dangerous but the fun kind.â Ainsley came up behind her cousin, playing in the curls.
It framed her face, it made her beautiful smile shine brighter. Megawatt bright. It seemed that for the first time Avery was actually seeing herself.
The hair artist moves forward, taking off Averyâs black cape, he set her free about the world.
Ainsley pulled out her company credit card; this makeover was on The Autograph. Paying for the hair, the girls went out to hail a cab.
âNext up is the mall.â Ainsley raised her arm to get a cabs attention, âRemember the friend that did my make up for my wedding?â
Avery vaguely remembered saying sheâd do her own make-up because Ainsleyâs friend was piling the foundation on like they were preparing for a runway show.
âMaybe?â
âGood.â Ainsley opened the door of the cab that stopped before them, âBecause she is our next stop.â
Groaning Avery rolled her eyes but climbed into the cab. âIâm going to end up looking like RuPaul.â
âNo way! I guarantee Danielle will have you looking like BeyoncĂŠ.â
Mumbling to herself Avery crossed her arms, âIâm not trying to sleep with the guy Ainsley.â
âI know that but you do want him to talk to you. No one ignores BeyoncĂŠ.â Avery received three snaps in z-formation.
She laughed then. Her cousin wasnât exactly wrong. Hopefully she would pull off this vision Ainsley had and make this article something that would get her from behind her desk and out in the field.
Avery was starting to believe it was where she belongs.
Her make-up was kept natural but powerful. Upon request there was barely any foundation. Highlighted cheekbones, groomed eyebrows, a golden but smoky eye and just a hint of red lips that was more like a chapstick then a lipstick.
This was something Avery could probably actually do for herself now that it was demonstrated easily.
She tried her hardest not to smile at herself in the mirror.
Is this how others saw her?
âWhat did I tell you Cuz? BEYONCĂ!â Ainsley winked and gave Avery the âokâ symbol.
Five stores later the day was over, but the night had just begun. There were shopping bags filled with Max Kelly attraction wear for a week.
âNow weâre going out to dinner because mama bear needs food and you need to nervous eat soâŚâ
Avery rolled her eyes, her voice was loaded with sarcasm, âOh gee. Thanks Ains.â
âAnytime Ace. You just do what I know youâre capable of tonight. I want the hungry, educated and cunning Avery James at that club. Hook, line and sinker Max Kelly in.â
All eyes were on the girls at the restaurant.
As they were seated at a table for two Ainsley grinned at the menu. âI think just about every guy in here wants you on his dinner plate.â
Avery shifted in her seat, sheâll never get used to this dress. A red bandage style, embracing her bodyânot her usual choice. It was summery sexy with a high low skirt. It reminded Avery of a lotus leaf and here she was coming out of the dirt.
The dress hugged her in the right places and it showed off those mile long legs. She was starting to believe she could actually achieve a goal tonight.
Confidence was still there but the nerves were taking over as the cab stopped in front of the line at LAâs latest hot club.
Ainsley spoke softly but strongly, âYou got this in the bag Ace. Think of the creative freedom youâll rightfully enjoy after you pull this off.â
âI may never get the chance to get inside and talk to him if Iâm in that line.â It was down the street and curved around the corner.
Ainsley waved her off, âOh no, youâre getting inside. Your name is on the list. Youâre Ace James baby.â
Now she had an alias?
Avery hid her face in her hands, âOh good grief.â
âGo!â Ainsley just about shoved Avery out of the cab, âIâll take your new digs to my place. You can pick them up tomorrow when you come and give me the scoop on tonight.â
âStrictly off the record?â This was something they used to ask of each other as youngsters when telling something they didnât want their parents to know. It was apart of their sisterly code.
Her finger to her lips, Ainsley whispered, âShhhhh!â The other person usual response to let the secret sharer know their story is safe.
Smiling to herself Avery left Ainsley in the cab. She took her time stepping up to the bouncer. With each step her confidence grew. The bouncer didnât even ask for her name. She was immediately let through to the club.
Blaring todayâs music from the speakers, this club was everything Avery was not used to do. No disco ball but an interchange of colors splayed around the room. There were bodies everywhere. Dancers in cages moved with the lights and music. People crowded the bar.
And no Max Kelly in sight.
