Dog Walker!AU with Rocky [Minhyuk]

moodboard link

Group: ASTRO

Member: Rocky / Park Minhyuk

Genre: fluff, romance

part of the Odd Summer Jobs!AU ⤗ introduction to the Summer Boys

Type: Bulletpoint AU 

Word Count: 2k

first up, we got Rocky!

who’s the neighborhood dog walker

(and sitter)

but he’s only available during the summer now

hence the reason why he joined the Summer Boys

he needed to make some extra money over the summer when he comes home from college

during the school year, he teaches dance lessons

but it’s only during the school year

so every summer when he comes home

he cares for the neighborhood dogs

he used to do it during high school too

so he knows what the job is like and whose dogs he can walk

when he was first doing it, he thought it was fairly easy

and it kind of was

he would just take the dogs on a neighborhood stroll

or they would go to a park

yeah, he has to pick up poop, but like

he’s with a bunch of dogs and has little contact with working with people

so who is he to complain

but it did get a bit harder...

more people were calling for him and he would end up with a large group of dogs

the max he takes a time is like… ten?

so it depends if they’re all small dogs, big dogs, etc.

the big dogs are harder to maintain

thank god for those dancer muscles tho

the big dogs literally drag him

when he first started dog walking…

he had like three big dogs to start with

that was A Disaster

(Sanha and Chani have video AND photo evidence)

sometimes they come with him just to get some more disastrous blackmail

I mean photos for the Summer Boys website :)

anyways

the dog owners love him

he’s super responsible

(he answers his phone quickly)

and he’s reliable

and the dogs love him

then again, who wouldn’t like Rocky?

anyways

he also does dog sitting

he kind of likes it but he does prefer the dog walking

anyways

if it’s a dog sitting job, he needs like a 24 hour notice thing

but it all depends on how long the sitting job is

(one time this woman asked him to dog sit for an hour while she went to her doctor’s appointment, he literally just chilled in this lady’s house for an hour because the dog took a nap)

overall it’s a fun job and it’s pretty chill

he doesn’t charge much either

unless he has to buy supplies for the dog

but he doesn’t mind

and most of the time, he’s reimbursed through tips

so he mainly communicates through phone

those who call him are people he’s known for a while

or they’re people who know about him from other people

once the flyers came out tho

he’s been easier to contact

with the website up too, the photos are… very….. convincing

he’s been getting more business after officially joining the Summer Boys

and that means… more dogs!

how does this involve you?

this involves you when you crash land into a pillow of approx. 15 dogs

Rocky was taking the dogs out for their daily walk

he had about fifteen, maybe even sixteen dogs

the problem was

there were… at least eight big dogs…..

I’m talking like

Bernese mountain dog

a Black Russian Terrier

St. Bernard

shepherd dog

it’s…. Chaotic

he’s got a good hold on them.. at least he thinks so

anyways

on the other side of the park

you and your friends were there

the park is huge

like there’s a lake where people can paddle boat huge

so there’s a lot of space

there’s a playground for toddlers

and another for the elementary schoolers

picnic areas

barbeque areas

there’s tracks for walking

tracks for runners

and tracks for bike riders

which is why you and you were friends were there

so, despite being an adult

you don’t know how to ride a bike

so your friends dragged you here for you to learn

“it’ll be fun!!!! and it’s never too late to learn!!”

it has been kind of fun

(other than the fear of falling off the said bike)

and just when you thought you had a good grip on this whole riding a bike thing

an incident occurs

you know that thing parents do?

the whole “don’t let go” “I’m not gonna let you go”

this was all because of that “I’m not letting you go” shit

so you were riding on your bike

(with a helmet ofc)

your friends were pushing you

and you were going a good distance

but then they let go…. as you were going downhill…

you haven’t mastered the brakes or whatever they’re called on a bike

and just as you maintained the speed and stabilized yourself

you looked up and next thing you know, you saw a bunch of fluff

i.e. Rocky

you were screaming

he was screaming

all the dogs were coming all at once

so you tried to stop it because you didn’t wanna run into the dogs

and you ended swerving on the side

and Rocky panicked and tried to catch you

but then….

he… kind of sort of let go? of the leash……….

that was holding all of the dogs…..

so, you landed on the grass in Rocky’s arms

surrounded by a lot of fluffy dogs

Rocky: “are you okay?”

You: “tbh, this is kind of how I imagined my death”

Rocky: “falling off a bike?”

You: “no, surrounded by dogs”

Rocky: “I guess that’s one way of going”

Rocky: “are you okay now?”

You: “yeah, I think so now”

you both sat up and, luckily, the dogs all stayed near you two

primarily because they were all stuck with the same leash

You: “thank you for trying to catch me”

Rocky: “no problem, I hope your bike isn’t scratched”

You: “oh, it’s not my bike—my friends were trying to teach me how to ride it”

Rocky: “oh, did you not have like knee or elbow pads? I got a friend who has some that you could borrow”

You: “yeah, that would have been smart”

before you two could say anything else

your friends are running over

“sorry!! sorry!! we would have been here sooner but we didn’t realize how far you were”

“yeah and combine that with the fact that we realized that we should have been running”

they help you up and that’s when they spot Rocky

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

“(Y/N), who is this???”

You: “I actually don’t know”

Rocky: “my name’s Minhyuk, but my friends call me Rocky”

You: interesting

You: “thanks again for the help, uh, Minhyuk”

Rocky: “oh, are you sure you don’t want the pads?”

You: “actually, yeah, you know that’s probably smart”

so you trade numbers

and you part ways

you forget about him for a bit

but then you and your friends are about to head to the park for another bike lesson

“we need to be consistent for you to learn”

“also you can finally text the cute boy with the dogs”

“but mainly for you to learn how to ride a bike”

You: ……. sure it is

so, you do text him….

and you two arrange to meet at the park first

you decided to wait at a nearby bench and about a couple of minutes

he comes

with another pack of dogs

this time there’s a little less of the big dogs and more of the fluffy baby ones

but they’re all cute nevertheless

he gives you the knee pads amidst the chaos the dogs are causing

you’ve never wished for more hands in your life

anyways

he spends a bit of time with you, while you’re waiting for your friends

and you spend a bit of time talking, getting to know each other

You: “I would love to walk these cuties all day”

Rocky: “well, you could always just come along with me next time”

You: “can I really”

your friends eventually come and he greets them, but eventually leaves to actually walk the dogs

your friends did not let that go the whole day

“oooooo cute boy came~”

“shuT iT fuckin—”

anyways

you two arrange a time for you to walk the dogs with him

it was super fun

like a bunch of dogs?? AND a cute boy???

who wouldn’t have fun

you wanted to try to walk the big dogs and he just…. let you

Sanha was right: this is super funny to watch

don’t worry, he gets you ice cream as an apology

and then it becomes a weekly thing

you come along when you have time

(and it IS summer come on lbr here)

now you’re just two friends

walking some dogs together

and then you have to return the dogs... 

naturally, you go with him 

bc he has like 10+ dogs and you weren’t about to make him go alone

you’re both kind of chill and still talking and getting to know one another 

it’s chill 

but then, something that happened 

you and Rocky had about five dogs with you 

and you were returning a lil pomeranian to this old couple 

the grandma who answers the door, she gets her dog and then... 

“so, you and Minhyuk are dating?”

You and Rocky: uhhhh

the grandpa (you assume her husband) comes out, poking is head through the door...

“this might just be a development in process, honey—don’t push them”

You: oh my god 

they thank you both and you both move on to the next house... rather slowly

Rocky: “I’m so sorry”

You: “I’ve dealt with weirder situations”

You: “besides it’s not like I would have minded” 

Rocky: “I wouldn’t have minded either.....” 

so you both finish returning the dogs

overall, it was fun 

anyways... 

you and Rocky may or not have figured things out by the time you were done 

and may have made some plans for dinner..... 

congrats for upgrading from dog walks

you get more dates!!!

anyways

you still go on the walks with him in the park

whether it’s with or without the dogs

(the owners started being more familiar with you too)

(at this point you should be getting paid)

it’s fine tho bc you get to spend some time with your cutie

and like 20 other lil cuties

it’s not just the dog walking thing

he’s even joined your friends to help you learn to ride a bike

Rocky: “bike date!!!”

y’all even have picnics 

it’s cute 

like he’ll make it and pack it in these fancy ass containers 

you try to make sure you aren’t in an are with seagulls tho 

one time he had those shrimp chips out 

..... yeah it was not a fun time 

but you learned 

anyways

some dates are in a studio where he dances

he still practices over the summer and you just watch from the side, cheering for him

it’s super cute

everyone at the dance studio knows you now too

sometimes when it’s just you two, he gives you a dance lesson

most times he would just put on music and you two would dance

even if you were bad at it

you two have named them as Summer Night Dance Parties

but there are some nights when he would just hold you into his arms and you two would sway to some relaxing music

sure, some of your dates might not be super romantic but he’s trying

oh, speaking of which

karaoke dates are def a thing

he may not be a singer

but it doesn’t mean he’s bad

(he’s def better than you)

sometimes you go with the other Summer Boys

who you met on many different occasions

the first official time tho………..

they did a whole dinner thing

(to celebrate???)

the energy…. it was chaotic

there was so much happening all at once

you were surprised they didn’t get kicked out

especially with the Chenle and Jisung duo

it was fun tho, especially conversing with Sanha and Chani

you have so much of their blackmail content on Rocky

and you haven’t seen him as talkative that night more than ever

he was so much louder too

again, the energy……… was chaotic

(sometimes they come to those picnics and it somehow manages to be even more chaotic than usual) 

you’ve grown close with them

it’s cute

you even help manage their instagram page

(which is just you taking 10000x photos of Rocky)

You: “Min, it’s for the instagram page”

You: “loooook at meeeeee”

You: “smile pretty pretty for the camera”

Rocky: “how many are you using”

You: “all of them”

it’s not like he minds you having your attention tbh

he likes taking photos of you with the other dogs too

honestly they’re more candid, but they’re still cute

you didn’t even know until you saw his phone wallpaper

You: “whEN dID yOU tAKe THAT”

Rocky: “you looked cute playing with the puppies in the grass, so I just to—dON’T DELETE IT”

it’s super cute

this is a cute relationship

Always Forever

Idol: Lee Minhyuk

Group: Monsta X

Song: I Love You Always Forever by Donna Lewis

Genera: Fluff 

Request: Anonymous (Affectionately named: “Minhyuk Anon 🐶”, because dang, she loves this boy a lot.)

This is the third installment of the little Minhyuk mini-series that was requested by the incredibly lovely Minhyuk Anon. ^^ For those who haven’t read the first and second part, I recommend you do that first to get a good feel for the story as a whole. As always, enjoy! 

It was a warm day. A warm day with a cool breeze, fluffy clouds and floral scents filling the air. It felt like spring had finally bloomed in Seoul, and Minhyuk couldn’t have been more grateful. 

What a serendipitous time to have a day off. 

He’d been wandering around in his beanie, jeans and light jacket, doing things as he saw them. It didn’t feel like a day that needed planning, just experiencing. He was craving the taste of being spontaneous. 

He took a deep breath of air, glancing around the shopping mall that he’d found himself in. “Where to now?” he wondered aloud. A sign caught his eye, cursive words bathed in muted tones of lavender and gold. 

Café de la Mémoire. He didn’t know at all what it meant and he certainly couldn’t pronounce it, but it looked pretty enough. 

With a shrug, he made his way over. He peered in through the window first, a sudden sinking fear of it being a lingerie shop crossing his mind. Luckily, it was just a cafe. He pushed open the door, the small brass bell over the top of the door letting out a small trill.  

It was a small cafe, customers scattered here and there having hushed conversations, like they were sharing childish, pure secrets with each other. There was a gentle playlist sounding out over the speakers, setting a calm tone, and the extensive dessert menu definitely didn’t go unnoticed by him. 

There was an array of blurry photos hanging on the wall, but each of them were taken in such a way that the blurring felt somewhat purposeful. As if each picture was a memory, slowly being forgotten. 

There were rows of books lining the wall, free for the taking. It gave the whole place a very warm, nostalgic vibe, almost like a home. Not to mention, it smelled pleasantly of peaches and vanilla.  

“Welcome to Café de la—” A small gasp. “No way.”

The first thought that ran through his mind was that it was a fan, but the second thing that occurred to him called out stronger. He thought, “That voice sounds so utterly familiar.” 

And it was. There was no possible way to forget it.

Slowly, he turned his head. It felt like a very cinematic moment in his life; everything moving in slow motion, the sunlight peeking in at just the right angles, a moment of silence for his thoughts to collect themselves. 

He froze, his breath catching in his throat. For a short moment, he considered pinching himself. He was positive that he must be dreaming with his eyes open, because what he was seeing couldn’t be real, though he desperately hoped it was. 

Memories came rushing back to him. Memories of the person who stayed up late at night to watch thunder storms with him. Memories of the person who always stuck her head out the window while they were in the car, even if it messed up her hair afterwards. 

He was thinking about the person that whispered to him even when there was no one else there. Everything felt like a special secret between them, and he wouldn’t have had it any other way.  

Standing before him—just as she had been three years ago—was a memory in the flesh. A painful, confusing, beautiful and incredible one. She was dressed in an apron, slacks and an orange button-down, and she was real. She wasn’t a dream.  

It was her. 

“Hyuk?” she spoke first, breaking him out of his spiraling thoughts. “That is you.” She sounded unsure for a moment. “...Right?”  

It seemed like a half a second before he had trapped her in a tight embrace, his face buried in her hair. It was shorter than it had been before, but it was still familiar to him. “Yeah, it’s me,” he said, unknowingly breathing in her scent. “And it is you, right?” 

She loosened her stiff posture. He could feel her smile, her hands reaching out to hug around his middle. “Believe me, I wouldn’t be letting you hug me if it wasn’t.” 

He chuckled. “True.” He glanced around, noticing how they were being stared at. He pulled away, giving a quick bow and muttering a flustered ‘I’m sorry’. Still, that didn’t keep his attention away from what was important. 

She was here. 

“You look good,” he said softly, the grin on his face putting a strain on his cheeks and crinkling the corner of his eyes. 

She rolled her eyes playfully. “Can you stop smiling like that? You’re creeping out the costumers.”

Honestly, he couldn’t. There was something fluttering in his stomach and chest and it made him feel like he was fourteen again, confessing to the most popular girl in school. Yet, he’d barely said two words to her. 

He shook his head. “I don’t think I can.” 

She looked down at her feet, a smile playing on her lips. “Well, at least sit down somewhere. You’re drawing unwanted attention, Mr. Worldwide Famous Vocalist.” 

He pulled his beanie down a little further, as if that would disguise him at all. “Lead the way. You work here, after all.” 

She flipped her hair sassily. “I own it, thanks,” she said. 

His eyes widened. “No kidding.” They started walking side by side as she lead him to a table, like an unforgotten habit. “So, you’re your own boss now?” 

She nodded, a proud look on her face. “Yup.” She gestured to a chair near the back. “Sit here, please.” 

“Geez, why’d you give me the dark, creepy corner?” Still, he sat without hesitation. 

She sat down in the chair across from him. “So we can catch up,” she said said simply. “We haven’t seen each other in a while, in case you didn’t notice.” 

He felt a pang in his chest. “Believe me, I noticed.” Suddenly, this corner felt so much like the cardboard box he’d thrown all their memories into. He was just grateful that she wasn’t throwing him away and trying to forget him. 

She was trying to get to know him again. How he had changed and grown. After all the pain he’d cause her, she was still curious about him, and that made his cheeks heat up in the most delightful way. 

She cleared her throat. It wasn’t in an awkward way, it was just a way to start the conversation, like an inaudible ‘um’. “I watched your comeback,” she said. A chuckle passed her lips. “You actually had lines this time, which was nice.” She picked at a loose string on her apron. “I like your voice.” 

He licked his lips nervously. “Thanks,” he mumbled. “You know, I honestly didn’t think you would listen to our music anymore, what with how we left things.” 

She quirked a brow. “Did we leave things badly?” 

He shrugged. “No, I guess not, but we did... Leave things.” 

A brief silence. 

She nodded understandingly. “Okay, I get that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still like you.” She caught herself, her eyes widening to the sizes of saucers for a split second. “You know, as a person.” 

He felt like he’d just been given the highest form of a compliment. He wondered if he could even successfully stay in his chair with how hard his blood was pumping through his veins. “Well... I still like you, too. As a person.”  

She looked anywhere but his eyes. “Well, that’s... good.” 

He couldn’t stop himself from laughing. “You’re so cute!” 

“Shut up!” she huffed. She crossed her arms. “Let’s move on, got it?” 

He nodded, feeling proud of himself. “Fine, we’ll move on. How have you been, then?” 

Her eyes lit up in the most beautiful way. “Great, actually. I have a nice place, I have two dogs and a cat, I found a few good friends that actually genuinely care for me, I own this joint which is more like my child than my job and...” She gave him a heart-melting smile. “I’m happy. So yeah, I’m doing pretty well.”

He couldn’t help but smile along with her. “That sounds fantastic,” he breathed. A question popped into his head, battling with his common sense to decide whether or not it was something that was okay to ask. “So you don’t have a... boyfriend or anything?” He shrunk in his chair, almost a little scared of the answer. 

“No, actually,” she answered. She could see his ears perk up. She clasped her hands together tightly. “I’ve been too busy thinking about this one guy.” 

His heart was beating off the charts. “Oh, yeah? What’s he like?” 

“An idiot,” she chuckled. “He’s an idiot and he thinks too much about himself sometimes, so I ditched him a few years ago.” 

He pouted. “He doesn’t sound like such a good guy.” 

“Maybe he’s not.” She shrugged. “But even though he’s an idiot, he’s very kind. He has sweet eyes and a healing smile. He’s really funny and he knows how to make me laugh, and he’s one of the handsomest guys I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

She met his gaze. “He’s loyal and hardworking and he has a really beautiful voice, and I’ve just been waiting and wondering if he’s grown up a little, because I really miss him.” She trailed off at the end, getting a little shy.

Minhyuk was at a loss for words. “Well, I don’t have a girlfriend either,” he stuttered ungracefully. “I’ve been to busy thinking about this one girl.” 

She gripped her hands tighter. “Oh, yeah? Tell me about her.” 

“Well... First of all, she’s really pretty, inside and out. I’m literally in awe of her half of the time. She’s very considerate of other people, and she always puts them before herself. She has a very giving and generous nature, and she puts the utmost effort into everything she does.”

He took a deep breath, continuing his unplanned confession. “She loves animals and kids and she’s really smart, but she’s also scared.” 

She tilted her head. “What’s she scared of?” 

“People,” he said. “Their judgment and what they might think of her. She’s scared that they’ll leave her, but really, she shouldn’t be, because who in their right mind would leave such an amazing person?” He could see the redness that was growing on her cheeks. 

“So what’s been stopping you from getting this girl?” she asked him. 

He looked at her, really taking her in. It was like he was seeing her for the first time again. Like he was falling in love for the first time again, because love never fully fades. “Well, I’ve been waiting to grow up a little, and for her to give me a chance to redeem myself.” 

She let out a laugh. It was a laugh he had missed so much; one he had dreamed of on more than a few occasions. 

“You know who I’m talking about, right?” he asked softly. 

She feigned thinking about it very deeply. “Is it...” She looked at him, a content smile resting on her face. “Me?” 

He tapped the table rhythmically. “Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner,” he joked. 

She laughed again. “Hey, you know that guy I was talking about?” 

“Yeah.” 

She rested her chin on her palm. “Do you know who he is?” 

“Me,” he said confidently. 

She raised a brow. “Oh, yeah? What makes you so sure?” 

He leaned across the table, their noses almost touching. “Gut-feeling,” he whispered. 

She huffed. “Well... You always did have pretty good hunches,” she whispered back. It was as if their secrets were being returned to them, one by one. They were meaningless and didn’t even deserve the title of ‘secret’, but they were theirs and they treasured them greatly, for better or for worse.  

His smile grew wider, if that was even possible. “So, do you think you’ll do it? Do you think you’ll give me a chance?” 

She nibbled her bottom lip nervously. “I can try,” she said. “Meet me here every week, and we’ll see how things go.” 

“Coming here every week is going to hard with my schedule.” 

There was an impish glow in her eyes. “That’s what I’m offering—take it or leave it.” 

He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I’ll take it.” He would do everything he could to be able to see her smile every day again. 

He would do everything to make sure he didn’t have to pretend to have moved on anymore. He would change for the better and grow up and become less selfish and he would fight tooth and nail to pass every test she handed out to him. 

He just wanted for both of them to finally admit that they would love each other for a long, long time. 

Maybe forever.
