Yoo Kihyun wants to capture moments, and he calls that photography.

Lim Changkyun wants to capture a feeling, he wants to know it better than anything else, and he calls that love.

----

"It doesn't help to think like this, you know. Closing yourself off in preparation for pain, it just blocks out everything else, too."

"What?" Kihyun scoffed, biting down hard onto his lip as he focused on his camera and the view in front of him, ignoring the intangible pull of the boy next to him. "Like love?"

Changkyun winced. "God, do you have to say it like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like even the notion is an inconvenience to you."

Author Note: this is s o l o n g o v e r d u e omg but hi! i’ve literally had no time or motivation to write, but i’ve been working on this for the past week so?? please take it and enjoy?? also just a heads up that ages for this are really weird, but minhyuk is only a year older than 97 line, and everyone older than 97 line is aged down 3 years! and, as usual, this is not proofread and unbetaed!

minhyuk's first letter recipient is chae hyungwon, the literal model student that the entire school had their eye on.

°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°

the first thing that minhyuk remembers of monday morning was walking onto campus and into the building for his first class, and realizing the air felt weird. it felt hot and heavy as what seemed like the entire student body turned to face him when the doors swung open.

then, the whispers began.  

he could barely make out anything that was being said.  as he walked past a few groups of students, they pushed towards the walls as if to make sure he didn’t touch them as he made his way to his friend group, who all sent him a pitying look.  the few words that broke the barrier between him and the whispers were things like ‘letters’ and ‘exposed’, but that was all he could make out, aside from the nasty slurs that he would rather ignore.  

minhyuk simply ignored the noise that swelled around him, joining jeonghan, sungjoo, and mark where they were waiting outside of his first class.  he held up a hand to silence mark, who’s mouth had opened to explain the situation, and instead opted to take a sip of the large (and probably spiked) soda that he held, before allowing the other to speak.  “somebody sent out your letters. like, the super secret ones that you never wante--”

there was a muted thud and a loud splash, along with a few cries of indignation and shock from his friends.  people turned to stare, eyes first catching minhyuk's shocked faced and opened mouth, as well as the brown liquid and ice that had made a home next to his cup on the floor.  mark and jeonghan hurried to the bathroom to gather paper towels while sungjoo comforted minhyuk. an uncomfortable silence settled over the hall, as students began to file out, leaving the group of friends along to clean up the mess and pick up the pieces.   

mark was the one to explain to the teacher why they were late when they finally stumbled into class, assuring her that they were actually responsible students and not reckless sophomores that they appeared to be.  with a suspicious side eye, she let the group pass and allowed them to file into their seats so she could continue her lecture.

the rest of the day passed fairly normally.  after word spread of minhyuk's near breakdown that morning, the students began to behave differently.  instead of skirting around him, it seemed as though the student body had collectively agreed to forget about the letters.  

except for one.  

after school, minhyuk worked a shift at a cafe just off campus, alongside one of his classmates - who was, coincidentally, a recipient of a letter.  

chae hyungwon.  

hyungwon was a tall, lanky boy, who's face looked like something made by a god.  he had the looks and the physique for a model, and so that's what he was encouraged to do - and model he did.  however, the small gigs that he did weren't enough to supported him or his family, and so he ended up applying to the same cafe what minhyuk worked at.  they shared the same night shift, often showing up around the same time as they were dismissed from their classes at the same time.

however, minhyuk found himself alone behind the counter on this particular day.  the steady stream of customers had trickled to a stop as the day wore on, tables occupied by students from all different classes - some familiar faces and some not.  around three-quarters of the way through his shift, as minhyuk was wiping down the countertop with a wet rag that smelled vaguely of mildew (minhyuk reminded himself to run them through the washer with bleach later, not that he'd remember) , hyungwon showed up with his arm linked with another boy's - shin hoseok, the school's resident 'bad boy'.  hoseok was clad in black from head to toe, but the bright smile on his face betrayed the image that he held, and the soft way he played with hyungwon's fingers also spoiled his image. minhyuk watched the two of them through the glass door, looking at when hoseok leaned in to leave a light kiss on hyungwon’s forehead, causing onlookers to glance back as they passed.  the two parted ways, hyungwon stepping into the cafe and causing the doorbell to chime. when he saw minhyuk behind the counter, a light color flooded his cheeks and he hurried to the staff room to throw on his apron and prepare to help out.

a few moments later, minhyuk was no longer alone as the sound of one of the coffee machines whirred quietly in the background, hyungwon making the orders while minhyuk worked the register.  neither of them spoke a word, except when minhyuk called out orders. they had another small rush near the end of the night, when all the students were coming in to get the appropriate amount of caffeine for studying.  that is, way too much of it.

soon enough, the two of them were working together to clear tables and set the chairs on top so that hyungwon would sweep and minhyuk would mop before closing, finally allowed to kick the remaining customers out and turn the music up slightly, changing their normal playlist to something faster paced as they cleaned up the shop.  hyungwon washed all the used coffee cups and plates from their last rush, passing them to minhyuk to dry and put away. once they were done, they both changed from their work attire to normal clothes, and hyungwon was the last one out, so he locked up. it was normal for minhyuk to wait with hyungwon on the steps to the cafe until his ride showed up, and so they made small conversation until the topic turned to one that made minhyuk’s stomach churn.  

‘so, i read your letter.’ hyungwon threw out nonchalantly, looking over to gauge minhyuk’s reaction.  the shorter of the two grimaced, turning to apologize and explain. he told hyungwon that like everyone else in their school, he had a fleeting crush that soon went away, and it meant nothing more than that.  hyungwon laughed at that, replying that he knew all along, from the way that minhyuk would shy away from him on their first day working together, until the day that he suddenly began to crack jokes and become more comfortable with him.  minhyuk groaned and covered his face with his hands, his face flushing red. ‘it was cute though, nobody’s ever had the guts to give me a letter before.’ hyungwon added suddenly, causing the both of them to laugh, and minhyuk to quip back that he was glad to be one of his firsts, adding a wink at the end that had them cracking up even more.  

minhyuk watched as hyungwon slid into the passenger seat of hoseok’s car when he pulled up, waving goodbye to the happy couple before sliding his hands into his jean pockets and beginning the short walk to his shared apartment.  you see, rent was high in the center of the city and as close to their university as they needed to be to walk to classes (since none of them could afford a car), so minhyuk, sungjoo, mark, and jeonghan decided to move in together and split the rent.  then, when mark hit his second anniversary with his boyfriend, jinyoung, it was decided that jinyoung would move in and they would split the rent down even further. after that, jeonghan began dating seungcheol and joshua, who began spending so much time at the apartment that sungjoo had yelled that they may as well move in.  and so they did.

now, with their four bedroom apartment housing seven people, it was lively and nearly always buzzing with activity.  minhyuk smiles as he spies mark and jinyoung’s matching sneakers, sat directly under their hooks that held their keychains - matching bears that jinyoung picked for their anniversary - and kicked his shoes off next to theirs, hanging his keys up on his ‘assigned hook’.  with sock clad feet, he padded into the living room to find sungjoo and seungcheol with their noses buried in a textbook. sungjoo picked his head up to write something down, explaining the concept to seungcheol as he did. minhyuk passed up their study session, walking quickly to his room.  

he unceremoniously threw his backpack down in his desk chair, tossing himself onto his bed and groaning into the sheets.  having to admit to hyungwon’s face that he had a crush on his was humiliating, especially knowing that his boyfriend, hoseok, had also received a letter.  

he didn't have much time to dwell on it, hearing jinyoung call his name for dinner.  somehow, he made it through the rest of the night without a hitch, finally falling into bed and a fitful sleep after finishing up some homework.

~Wonkyun Moments From the Chicago Concert~

Wonho kept on doing the floss dance move (very adorably); he did it for a while in the background until Changkyun saw and just jumped in front of him; starts doing the move they do at Jooheon’s part in Jealousy the “going going” (I have no idea what the name of it is haha) Wonho bursts out laughing and they high-five, handshake, and hug like classic Wonkyun.

Speaking of the floss move, at one point, both of them were just doing it together and in their own little world. So cute~

During “Roller Coaster” Wonho excitedly tapped on Changkyun so they could start that adorable train where the boys go under the Joohyuk bridge; Changkyun placed his hands Wonho’s shoulders-!!! *cries*

Changkyun friggin did it again!!! During “White Love,” he pretended to play the piano down Wonho’s chest and killed me.

When they sat down for the group selfie, they sat next to each other as you can see in the pic:

Afterwards, Changkyun stood up first and offered to help Shownu stand but he wasn’t strong enough and ended up falling haha. Then he offered his hand to Wonho and of course succeeded and when Wonho stood, he patted him on the butt~

Because Hyungwon wasn’t at the last Chicago stop (bless him. I love that guy), they did the original “From Zero” part with Hyungwonho. Afterwards, Kihyun was like, “I kinda wanna see someone else do it.” So Changkyun just said, “Hyung, you do it then.” And then everyone--including Monbebe--started shouting, “Kihyun! Kihyun! Kihyun!” AND THEN! Suddenly out of nowhere, Wonho started screaming, “I.M! I.M! I.M!” And Monbebe did the same because we will follow our king. It was hilarious.

But Kihyun and Changkyun ultimately failed though haha (after two attempts). When Kihyun went to stroke Changkyun’s chin for that part, Changkyun pulled back comedically, falling back on his hands. Wonho was beyond entertained and said, “Our Changkyunnie is full of great ideas!”

The next moment, I got on camera!!! Jooheon, Changkyun, and Wonho were left on stage while the other four went to change. Changkyun said, “Bro, I’ve seen Monbebe’s vibe but now I wanna see your vibe” (In English, this guy was killing me the whole time haha) But of course, Wonho couldn’t understand him so Changkyun had to do a special, personal translation just for him hehe. Changkyun kept on touching his shoulder and back though (they stood so close!) and I can’t believe I heard him call Wonho “Hyung” in real life!!!

After Jooheon and Changkyun did their improv dances, Changkyun kept asking Wonho to dance too. He said, “I want to see your sexy dance because you’re the sexiest one.” CHANGKYUN!!!! >:( But Wonho wasn’t having it and said, “I think I’m more cute than sexy.” And he did a cute dance instead. It was glorious and I screamed. The two of them walked off stage together when the other four returned.

Every time the boys lined up to talk between songs, Wonho and Changkyun were standing next to each other. It was so friggin cute!!! *cries*

Whenever, they had to transition to the next song or next part, Wonho kept on tapping on Changkyun’s shoulder or chest to tell him to say it in English. Waaaahhhh depend on his English like ramen!!!! I’m dyinggg!!!!

So for those of you that have felt a little void of Wonkyun lately, I hope this helped your soft Wonkyun hearts!!! They were really comfortable and playful together in real life. A lot of cameras rarely catch these moments so I’m so grateful and happy to have witnessed how great their relationship is in person~! WONKYUN RISE!!!

Model!Hyungwonho

Requested: Nope, though I lowkey was going to request this on another blog but then got really inspired and decided to write it myself instead

Pairing: Monsta X Hyungwon x Wonho x Gender Neutral Reader

Genre: poly!au, model!au

Warnings: suggestive and mature themes

I’m mainly basing my knowledge of the industry from various Top Model series that my sister has forced me to watch with her, so there may be (probably will be) inaccuracy’s but I tried my best.

Hyungwon and Wonho are two models both under the same agency

both of them model for magazines and ads, but Hyungwon also does runway modelling while Wonho prefers to simply pose for the camera

they are both pretty big deals in the industry

having done various big contracts for various big name brands

shoots have been done both alone, together and with other models

let me tell you, people went crazy for the shoot the two did with model!Minhyuk and model!Changkyun

but not only are they loved for their visuals

but also their personalities

they also interact with fans a lot on social media

both of them have at least 200,000 followers on instagram and have various fan accounts dedicated to them

they are basically idols with the music career

(that is until famous producer!Jooheon did a collab with Wonho, which broke the Wonho stans when they heard his vocals)

Hyungwon loves shoots that take him outside of Korea, loving to travel

he is also an acted, though not very active in the industry

when people hear ‘model’ they immediately think of narcissistic, uptight people

but these two boys couldn’t be more different

they are both the softest, sweetest things ever

Wonho is so much more than just abs

he really shows off how sweet and considerate he is when on set

he asks how all the staff are and helps out with any heavy lifting that may need to be done

any co models are looked after by him

he makes sure that any female models he has to work with are comfortable, as well as males

Hyungwon is also more than just a pretty face

while quieter than Wonho and Minhyuk, and less outgoing

he is still a sweet baby

while people expect someone of his visuals to be dressed up well and with a cold attitude almost

our frog boy will often turn up to shoots barely awake, face all puffy and still half in his pajamas

and though photographers and companies think this unprofessional, they immediately chuck those thoughts away as Hyungwon smiles tiredly at them and just genuinely looks like a baby they need to protect

and people love it when the two of them are together

their Tom and Jerry style relationship is hilarious

both of them are huge teases, and this is amplified when they are put together

cue makeup-artist!Shownu shaking his head is amusement and photographer!Kihyun in exasperation in the background as they argue over who suits the dark concept better

they are often seen appearing on each others instagrams and snapchats

usually stealing the others food or camera time

of course, with being famous comes shipping

and these two are a popular ship in their fanbases

especially since Hyungwon played a female character in a tv show and a video of Wonho fanboying over the character ‘Dodo’ got out

so when a statement was released about the two being in a relationship the Hyungwonho fans went crazy

nothing much changed in their relationship on camera

they are professionals after all, and have to act it

but every now and then you will get a cute picture of the two on one of their instagrams

one that suggests more than a platonic relationship

they are still the idiots that tease each other, it’s just that now they do it “because I love you”

now, it is about year later when you come into the picture

you are the one of the stylist’s that will be working on one of the rare shoots that the two will be doing together

of course, being in the fashion industry, you are very knowledgeable about the people in the same work force, including make up artists, other stylists, designers and of course, models

so you are familiar with Hyungwon and Hoseok, and actually consider yourself a fan

you follow their careers quite closely, considering them both very talented people that you look up to

so when you find out that they are two of the models at the shoot you are quite excited

sadly though you won’t be styling them, having been assigned to the team for the female models

the shoot is for a clothing lines winter collection, but not the outdoorsy coats and scarves you expect

but more party oriented, so there are lot’s of dresses, silk shirts and suits, fancy jewelry and high heels

as you are getting one of the girls dressed backstage, you hear some commotion coming from the main set

walking out, you find out that one of the models hadn’t shown up, saying last minute that they couldn’t make it due to illness

the shoot’s director is quite obviously stressing out, so you decide to just start backing away, deciding that the situation has nothing to do with you when the man in question looks around and catches your eye

“Hey! You there? Have you ever modelled? If not, then welcome to your first time,” he says towards you

while you just stand there, not having expected anything like this and before you can answer anything some staff are ushering you back to where you were

and this time you are the one with clothes being fitted onto you instead of the other way round

some of the other stylists are mentioning about how lucky you are

because if the likes of Wonho, Hyungwon, Hyolyn and Bora are models at this shoot; the fact that the director thinks that you have what it takes to work with them is a massive compliment

and you...aren’t actually all that nervous

mainly excited

because you yourself have quite a big following on social media

you post ootd’s and selfies often, and so you aren’t a stranger to being in front of a camera

you know fashion and you know how to work clothes and your body in order to look your best, so you aren’t worried that you will completely mess up and look an idiot

so with your confidence up thanks to your fellow stylists compliments, plus that of Hyolyn, the famous female model who just so happened to pop in to welcome you and check up on you; you are ready to walk out there and do you best

and that you do

you don’t get a chance to properly introduce yourself to anyone else before you are ushered into a solo shoot

you do however catch eyes with Wonho who is stood by photographer!Kihyun and smile politely, which he returns brightly

soon enough, it is somebody else’s turn to be in front of the camera and you step off set, glad to be out of the hot lights that made your face feel like it was melting

and this is when you formally meet Hyungwon and Hoseok

they are both standing closely together, and turn to you as you walk their way

“Hey! It’s nice to meet you. I’m Wonho and this is Hyungwon. You were real good up there you know. You wouldn’t think this was your first professional shoot.”

your cheeks turn slightly red, thankfully hidden by your makeup

now, you don’t blush because an attractive man just smile your way

you are well aware of the relationship between the two men after all

it’s more because someone so talented just complimented you and told you “you did good”

thanking them, you then introduce yourself and start chatting to the two, quickly finding them just as personable as people say, Wonho being more open and Hyungwon quieter but really quite funny you find out

you take a few selfies with them to upload to your social media, and between all the back and forthing on set you carry on conversations with them

as it starts getting late and the shoot wraps up, you get given a few cards to modelling agencies due to your good work that day, to which you’ll tell them you’ll think on it

after getting changed out of the fancy gear and wiping the makeup of your face, you change back into your own clothes and go to leave, thanking any staff you pass for their hard work

on your way out, you meet up with Hyungwon and Wonho who are also getting ready to leave to their apartment

you all talk for a few more minutes, before Wonho suggests exchanging phone numbers

and of course you say yes

who would say no?

and that is the start of your friendship with the couple

you become close with the two quite quickly, finding them hilarious and ever so sweet

thankfully they aren’t big on pda and aren’t one of those overbearingly in love sort of couples

which you appreciate because brunch ‘dates’ become a thing for you three

(it’s the best way to get Hyungwon to wake up; bribe him with food)

when the photos from the shoot you did are released, they throw a mini party for you because of the amazing response people gave you even though it was your first time

you meet the rest of their friends there, including a couple of guys you remember as staff from the shoot

months pass, with you taking on a few modelling jobs now and then thanks to the guys encouragement

you start to become a lot more popular, your own mini fanbase growing

Wonho and Hyungwon become some of your best friends; and you three have fun teasing the other guys

over this time though, your friendship starts to become less defined, small gestures shared between you start to become less and less platonic

Hyungwon and Wonho had sat down and had a conversation between them

as it turns out, they had both started to like you as more than friends

and both of them, being pretty chill guys, accepted this very well

because they both knew that the fact that they both liked you didn’t mean they loved each other any less

and of course they now called you their best friend; so they knew you very well by now and as so they knew you would also be pretty chill about it if they decided to confess to you

and that whether or not you accepted the invitation didn’t matter because they would still be your good friends

one night, you were at their apartment watching a new drama, nothing out of the usual

Hyungwon is falling asleep on Hoseok’s shoulder and you are tucked into his other shoulder, legs thrown across the two boy’s laps

the leftover sushi from dinner had been put into the fridge already and the chocolate covered popcorn had been forgotten in it’s bowl on the floor

on the tv the two leads are doing the usual cliche kiss in the rain

when suddenly Wonho turns to look at you, and quicker than you can blink, leans in and places a small peck on your lips

now, this certainly wasn’t what you were expecting so you are caught of guard

i mean, not only did one of your best friends just kiss you, he did it while his boyfriend was literally right next to him

so you are panicking slightly, not knowing what to do

but then, you feel Hyungwon grab your hand and squeeze it slightly, a tired smile pulling at his lips

and you relax, returning the smile and you all go back to watching the drama

except that now Wonho can’t seem to keep his lips off of you and Hyungwon, continuously pressing pecks to both of your cheeks

of course they do actually ask if you want to be a part of their relationship, but it isn’t really needed but you just so naturally integrated into it

so well done! you’ve managed to snag two gods as boyfriends

and you are such a gorgeous trio

whenever you walk anywhere together, heads turn your way because you look like you have come straight from the runway (which is actually true sometimes, at least in Hyungwons case)

your instagram throuple photos are so aesthetic

but you also take the chance to meme the fuck out of your boyfriends now that you see them behind their model images even more, and their fans love you for it

so now you and the fans exchange memes of the two, to which you constantly use in the group chat that you three share

Hyungwon fully embraces this and even teams up with Changkyun in a meme war against you (to which you drag Minhyuk into as your partner)

you are their own personal cheerleader, and they are yours

if you aren’t busy, you accompany each other to any shoots or runways that you may have, totally hyping each other up

the amount of compliments that are given in this relationship is countless, especially from Wonho who will tell you both that you look stunning, 5 minutes after he last called you it

you and Hyungwon will also go to the gym with Wonho

and even if you are the biggest gym rat ever, nothing will get done while you are there because you two will be busy drooling over your boyfriend

which he loves because he works hard to keep up his fitness and appearance, and getting complimented on something you work hard for is always nice, no matter if it is good grades, an art piece, a song, your makeup or your body

(just make sure not to sexualise people yo, especially Shin Hoseok aka the cutest bean ever to exist)

when you move in with them, the amount of beauty stuff you have between the three of you is ridiculous

you also have a whole bedroom that has turned into a huge walk in closet

and the three of you often share clothes, which isn’t too hard because both of them like the baggy, oversized style

it’s mostly hoodies that are passed around, sometimes you end up not knowing whose it was in the first place

you fall in love with their bed, because Hyungwon made sure to splurge on it because “it’s where I spend most of my time, it has to be worth it”

there is no set sleeping arrangement

it just depends on the order you go to bed

Wonho does like to be big spoon though

Hyungwon doesn’t care, he just wants to sleep

their Tom and Jerry relationship is still a thing, only now they both whine to you and try to make you take a side, which you refuse and stay neutral and just tease the both of them which makes them team up on you usually

but you don’t mind because roast sessions are fun, especially when you all know the lines to not cross so can go all out

you three aren’t very big on pda, and prefer to link arms rather than hold hands when out and about

in private though kisses are abundant

Hyungwon’s lips are so perfect how can you and Wonho resist?

~nsfw below~

you have mastered the art that is the three way make out session

you are all so chill and open in the relationship, and the others guys both love and hate it

they love that you all make each other so happy

but they would prefer to not see you pinches each others arses when they are around

when it comes to bedroom activities that aren’t sleeping; it is all very equal

both are boys are soft doms in my opinion and so there is nothing very hardcore or especially kinky

when it is just you and Wonho, he prefers to take the lead whereas Hyungwon loves you being on top, and it is the same for when it is just the two boys; Wonho tops

marking is a a big thing in the bedroom

you almost always have a hickey somewhere on you, as do they

though to save the makeup artists time you make sure they are in more..hidden places

let’s just say that you and Hyungwon love Wonho’s thighs and the teasing doesn’t stop when things get heated

~back to sfw~

none of you ever really cook, being quite busy

you usually make Kihyun cook for you, or you order in

Hyungwon loves to spend money on the two of you though and he often takes you out to restuarants; both expensive ones and small family owned ones

this is when the most arguments occur: over what to get for dinner

usually it’s between ramen and sushi (you can guess who wants what)

other than this though you never really get into fights

neither of them are very hot headed or confrontational people and any problems get talked about as soon as they come up and dealt with like adults

overall, the three of you are happy and in love, and are one of the most loving, memeiest and aesthetic couples to exist

ok, this started getting pretty long so I decided to wrap it up here. It is ok as it is my first time actually writing about a poly relationship after reading all the ones I can come across.

Late Night Study Session - Hyungwonho

Pairing: Hyungwonho (Shin Wonho/Chae Hyungwon)

Rating: G

Word Count: 1791

Ao3 Link (Leave kudos and comments! :))

Or read under the cut~

(Likes, kudos, comments, messages - all much appreciated!!)

"Ha ha! You’re stuck here until 3 AM!" Kihyun teased as he packed up his things to leave the library.

Hoseok glowered at him from his post behind the massive reference desk. It was shortly after 10 PM and he had only just arrived to work. On weekends when the university library stayed open late for the really dedicated students (or massive procrastinators), someone must be the unfortunate one to man the fort until 3 AM. "The only reason you're not stuck here is because you're dating the manager," he sniped.

"Oh, yes. I'm going to go home now to my wonderful manager boyfriend while you are stuck here watching over all the lame students studying in the middle of the night."

"There's no one here," Hoseok grumbled. "Can't you call Hyunwoo and ask if we can close early?"

Kihyun pretended to mull that option over for a moment to give Hoseok some false hope before he said, "Nope."

Hoseok grimaced, and waved him on. "Get out."

Kihyun pranced out the front door, his backpack slung over his shoulder. Being a graduate student and dating the boss definitely had its perks.

Hoseok settled into the comfortable desk chair – thankful for that positive note, at least – and opened the web browser on the staff computer. He may as well get some research done while he was stuck here.

After twenty minutes of pouring over the school's free databases, he closed the browser and wiped his tired eyes. He was not cut out for the late shift. How could partying into the wee hours of the morning on Friday be so much easier than sitting in front of a computer screen at work?

He stood up, stretched a little, and glanced around the massive room. He was sure there was not another soul in the building. Groaning, he walked into the back room to make a cup of coffee with the staff's one-cup coffee maker. He walked back out to the desk in time to see a tall boy with headphones striding past the reference desk.

He had seen the guy many times before on campus, and in the library. He studied – and slept – at the tables in the back several nights a week. He often wondered his name, but had never had the courage to strike up a conversation. The guy kept to himself, and who really wanted to be bothered by the librarian anyway?

He settled into his seat, steaming coffee in hand, and watched as the guy sauntered through the building to the back. He could barely see him as he slumped into one of the arm chairs with a built-in desk on the arm.

He shouldn't be straining to see random guys anyway, he told himself as he took a timid sip of his coffee. He cursed silently when it burnt the tip of his tongue and set it aside to cool. He stared at the computer's background wallpaper – an image of two puppies laying on a pile of open books. It wouldn't have been his choice for background image, but the circ clerks in the morning loved it, and he wasn't bothered enough to change it.

He opened the web browser again, and navigated to the database list. The alphabetical list hadn't even finished loading before he was typing "Netflix" into the address bar.

Fifteen minutes later, he was enjoying lukewarm coffee and subbed anime on mute.

He was down three cups of coffee and his eyes were bloodshot when Netflix started to get judgy. "Are you still watching Black Butler?"

"If I wasn't, it wouldn't be on," he muttered, clicking on the screen so Netflix would take him to the next episode.

He glanced at the clock in the bottom right corner of the computer screen to see that Netflix had every right to be judgmental. It was heading toward three in the morning. No one in their right mind should be in the library that late binge watching Black Butler - or anything else, for that matter.

He almost closed the browser and started to make the normal closing rounds of the building when he remembered it was just him and the tall guy. Everyone else was out having fun or sleeping like normal twenty-somethings.

He considered making the rounds anyway as an excuse to check on the tall guy, but decided immediately that he would be an absolute weirdo if he did so, and stayed put.

After a few minutes his eyelids started to droop.

"HEY!"

The shout was followed by the slam of a hand on the desk.

Hoseok jumped, and sent the rolling desk chair flying back toward the wall of cabinets behind him. His rear end hit the hard floor with a thud, and he muttered a barely audible curse.

“What are you doing?” he demanded as he hoisted himself up from the floor, rubbing his backside.

“I need your help!”

Hoseok focused in on the tall guy’s face. His bloodshot eyes too wide. His brow wrinkled.

“Help with what? I’m pretty sure finding a book doesn’t require this kind of hysterics.”

“I don’t need help finding a book!” The tall guy planted his palms on the reference desk and leaned toward Hoseok. His voice was barely above a whisper when he spoke again. “There's something... someone.... in here."

The hair on the back of Hoseok's neck stood up, and goosebumps popped up all over his body. They had gone through a thousand safety training videos and seminars about terrorists and men with guns, but he never thought something like that would ever happen. How could it happen? He hadn't seen anyone come in and the only other doors were armed with an emergency alarm that sounded if someone even touched the handle.

"What do you mean?" Hoseok whispered, his hands beginning to tremble. His entire body had gone tight, tensed with fear.

Hyungwon leaned in closer and whispered, "There's a ghost in here."

Hoseok immediately felt his tense muscles relax and his body appeared to deflate a little. "What are you talking about?" He demanded. He was annoyed that this stupid (cute, but stupid) guy managed to get him worked into a tense frenzy about possibly men with guns lurking around in the middle of the night.

"I saw. A ghost."

Hoseok's eyes narrowed. The guy looked serious. Dead serious. He wasn't playing a prank. He honestly seemed to think there was a spirit lingering around the library. Hoseok had never been one to believe in the existence of spirits, ghosts, whatever. Dead was dead. You didn't just hang around Earth and roam around libraries in the middle of the night after you passed on.

Right?

"I think you're a little confused," Hoseok tried.

"I know what I saw." The kid was so endearingly insistent (and cute, very cute) that Hoseok wanted to agree with every word he said.

"Okay, okay," he said, nodding. "I believe you. Let's go take a look around, okay?"

The tall guy nodded, and Hoseok left his post to tour the library looking for this lost soul that the guy claimed to have seen. "Let me just lock up first. We're two minutes from close anyway."

Hoseok and his tall, cute patron were on the second floor roaming the second floor fiction when Hoseok ventured to ask, "So... What's your name? I'm Hoseok."

The tall guy who seemed to have calmed down after their inspection of the ground floor returned no ghostly sightings, replied simpled, "Hyungwon."

Talkative guy , Hoseok thought as they ventured on to the third floor reference section. Maybe he's still expecting his ghost to pop out of the stacks.

The third floor was filled with nothing but old books and dust, so they trooped back down the steps to the ground floor.

When they stopped in front of the chair where Hyungwon had left his things, Hoseok decided to take another shot at making conversation with him. "So... I think there are two possibilities here," he began. "One – and this is definitely the most likely..."

Hyungwon regarded him with rapt attention.

"The ghost is hiding from us," Hoseok finished. "Like I said, that one is definitely the most likely. But there is the less likely option that you were studying too hard too late, fell asleep, and dreamed/hallucinated the whole thing. Not very likely, I know, but as a professional, I must consider all the possibilities."

A small smile formed on Hyungwon's face. "I'm sorry," he said sheepishly. "My roommate likes to party until sunrise on the weekends. He even thinks that Sunday is still considered the weekend, because he has a late class on Monday. Anyway, that's why I'm always here studying late. I hope it's not an inconvenience."

Hoseok shook his head. "If you weren't here, I would feel like anidiot sitting at that desk for five hours just overseeing an empty building."

The smile returned to Hyungwon's face. "Thanks for humoring me with the ghost thing. I really think I did hallucinate. I don't even believe in ghosts." He shook his head at the absurdity of the whole thing.

"No problem. Maybe go home and get some rest."

"Party is at my place tonight," Hyungwon said with a shake of his head. "My roommate and five of his friends and drinking and 'rocking out.'" Hyungwon rolled his eyes as he emphasized the latter phrase. "I still have studying to do anyway. You're closed though, right?"

Hoseok bit his lip. Technically, it was almost twenty minutes past closing time. If he didn't leave soon, he might actually get into trouble for being in the building after hours for no good reason. "We are," he finally said. "I have to finish locking up and go."

Hyungwon nodded solemnly and started to gather his things. Hoseok bent to pick up some papers that had fallen – probably when Hyungwon fell asleep on the small desk surface attached to the chair.

"Say, um," he began as he handed the papers over to an appreciative Hyungwon. "I was going to go for coffee after work and do some studying as well. Would you want to join me?"

Total lie, but he was doing a library patron a favor, so it was okay to lie, right? He did need to study, but he preferred to do his studying during daytime hours whenever possible.

"What? Seriously?"

"Yeah, I mean, sure... Was it rude of me to ask?"

"Oh, no. No. I would like that." Coffee with the hot librarian – yes, please! "My treat though," he added quickly. "To repay you for the little ghost hunt."

Hoseok chuckled, and nodded. "Sure. I usually charge more for my ghost hunting services, but I'll give you a discounted rate this once..."

[Fulfilled] A Jealous Turtle

Hyungwon watches on the sidelines, arms crossed and eyebrows scrunched together. Hoseok and Hyunwoo lie side by side on the wooden floor of the studio. Hoseok chuckles slightly, his beautifully pure smile spreading across his face, and he slides a couple inches closer to their leader.

A pang of jealousy throbs within Hyungwon’s heart at the sight, but all he can do in protest is bite down hard on his bottom lip.

This is always the hardest part of shooting teaser photos: watching his boyfriend being close with other members. He isn’t the only one experiencing such deep envy, though. Kihyun stands beside him, absolutely seething at seeing his boyfriend chuckling warmly at something Hoseok has just whispered to him. What had he said? Why hadn’t he said it loud enough for Hyungwon to hear? Is it something he’s trying to hide from Hyungwon?

Stop it, Hyungwon tells himself, releasing a long breath. They aren’t hiding anything. Just chill out, it’ll be over soon.

 This isn’t a side of himself that Hyungwon isn’t particularly proud of, if he were to be completely honest. He can’t even begin to count the number of fights he and Hoseok have had over another idol or a staff member looking at Hoseok with some unreadable light in their eye, or even just looking at him for too long. He knows it only stems from his own self-esteem issues, but knowing this doesn’t seem to have helped the acrid envy filling Hyungwon’s throat in the slightest.

 Finally, the director calls for a break, and Hoseok and Hyunwoo stand from the floor and strut towards their respective boyfriends. Kihyun merely nods aggressively towards a side-room, and Hyunwoo chuckles knowingly as he follows. Hyungwon remains still when Hoseok smiles at him, a smile similar to the one he’d given Hyunwoo before. A smile that falters, though, at seeing the hard look in Hyungwon’s eyes.

“Wonnie?” he asks curiously, stepping closer so as not to be overheard. “What’s the matter?” Hyungwon’s gaze falls, feeling silly at hearing the anxiousness in his boyfriend’s voice.

“Nothing, hyung,” he mutters. Hoseok clearly doesn’t believe him, though. The older grabs his elbow and guides him away, towards the snack table, and stands dangerously close to him considering they’re in public.

“You and Kihyunnie looked like you were about to rip somebody’s head off just now,” Hoseok tells him, crossing his arms over his broad chest. “What happened? Did you two fight again?”

“No…” Hyungwon replies, shifting where he stands. “I just… You know how I get when you’re shooting with others, hyung. I can’t stand seeing you so close with someone else, even if it is just Hyunwoo-hyung.” Hoseok sighs, exasperated by the younger’s words. The sound brings Hyungwon’s eyes back up to his, an almost accusatory light to them. “It isn’t as if you’re much better,” he defends. “You hated it when Minhyuk-hyung and I shot together for Beautiful. You hate it when we shoot now, even though I’m only in the background.”

“I hate it because of how he looks at you,” Hoseok says plainly, pouting at his dongsaeng. The expression would be enough to make Hyungwon coo if that weren’t the most ridiculous thing he’d ever heard.

“He looks at everyone like that, hyung,” Hyungwon points out tiredly. He reaches up, rubbing at his eyes. “See? This is why I didn’t want to say anything, because we always only just end up talking in circles whenever it’s brought up. Can we just… drop it, please?” Hoseok hums, nodding in agreement. The two stand there for a moment staring into each other’s eyes. Hyungwon finds himself smiling before he even realizes, and he swoops down in the blink of an eye to place a chaste kiss on Hoseok’s cheek. Hoseok gasps in surprise, quickly glancing around them to make sure no one had noticed. Luckily, no one did.

A deep blush flares up his cheeks, and Hyungwon chuckles lowly at the sight. Hoseok is so adorable like this, all bashful and shy. It’s one of his favorite sides of his hyung.

“Hyungwon-ssi!” the director calls from a distance, causing both men’s heads to snap towards his direction. The man is waving him over, and Hyungwon can’t help the sigh that escapes him.

“We’ll continue this later~” Hyungwon promises to Hoseok, winking at him. He pinches Hoseok in his side, earning a yelp in response as he saunters off.

Hoseok bites hard on his bottom lip as he watches the younger go, his heart warming as he thinks of how the man is his, will always be his, and his only. It’s a thought enough to bring a smile to the face of any man.

[Fulfilled] The Golden Band

Hyungwon stares at the small black box in his hands, the faintest of smiles playing its way across his thick lips. He snaps it closed and shoves it into his coat pocket, knowing just how he’s going to do this.

Hoseok, his partner both professionally and romantically, saunters into the room, a disarming smile thrown onto his face. He sees Hyungwon sitting on the bed of their lavish hotel room, and goes to sit beside him.

“Don’t you need to get ready?” he asks the younger, sitting back on his hands. “The mission won’t complete itself.” Hyungwon chuckles under his breath at the comment, and leans against the older male. His heart beats a little faster, and it’s all he has in him to not just ask him right then and there. He inhales deeply, reveling in the floral scents of the older man’s perfume. Hoseok chuckles warmly, and wraps his arms around the younger’s shoulders.

“Merlin says the target will be in the dining hall until ten tonight,” Hyungwon mutters. “I told him we’d be down there just before.” Hoseok hums in acknowledgment, lightly kissing his dongsaeng’s hair.

“So… what you’re telling me is…” Hoseok mumbles, a playful smirk dancing across his lips, “is that we have some time to kill beforehand, right?” Hyungwon laughs aloud at this, a good, mirthful outburst that shakes his whole body as he understands just what the older is asking about. He pulls away only to straddle the older’s lap and press his lips against the older’s. Hoseok hums a little at the sudden contact, falling back in surprise against the bed. Hyungwon chuckles fondly, his eyes shining with love, and leans down to close the distance between them.

 Hours later, the two men strut into the hotel bar, shooting each other a meaningful look just before going their separate ways. Hyungwon moves immediately towards the bar and orders a drink, keeping a watchful eye out for their target. He casually pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, inadvertently turning on the eyewear for some aid. Information flashes across the screen, listing off random facts about the mystery man.

Codename: Sunflower, Hyungwon rattles off the familiar name, reminding himself over and over. No one knows what he looks like, only that he has important information concerning nuclear warheads targeted at every democratic nation in the world… We don’t even know what the information is, but—

A strange hand on his hips halts his train of thought immediately. He stiffens, his heartrate picking up noticeably. He drops his hand casually to grip his glass, ready to smash it against the wooden bar to create a weapon if need-be.

“Take off the spectacles, Kingsman,” a raspy voice whispers in his ear. He freezes, very much not used to being called out. Who is this man, and just how does he know about—?

“I’m still gonna be anonymous after this deal,” the voice explains, as if sensing the man’s hesitation. “That means, if you want anything from me, you’re going to have to take off your glasses.” Hyungwon purses his lips together, but does as he’s told. He doesn’t want to lose the target, doesn’t want to have to report back a failure to Headquarters. So, he’s left with no choice.

There’s a hum of approval in his ear, and the hand on his waist drops. Hyungwon turns quickly… and is surprised to see a young man standing behind him. He raises a skeptical brow, quite unsure if this blue-haired man is actually who he’s supposed to be meeting. The man chuckles, as if sensing his hesitation, and opens his suit jacket to reveal an envelope in the inner pocket, with an intricately sketched sunflower made up of filigree on it.

Hyungwon’s suspicions dissipate… halfly, at seeing the symbol of Codename: Sunflower, and give a short nod. Sunflower nods, as well, and slips his hand into Hyungwon’s to lead him out of the bar. Hyungwon chances a glance back to his glasses, biting on his lower lip as he imagines just what Hoseok’s reaction will be when he finds them… But, it can’t be helped.

They have to get the information no matter what.

 Sunflower leads him out of the hotel and onto the back terrace of the restaurant. Elegantly dressed people mill about with martini glasses in their hands, laughing softly amongst themselves in the night air. The man leads them towards a bench out of earshot of the crowd, and seats them both down on the cold stone. He reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out the envelope, smirking a little.

“I’ll show you mine if you show me yours~” he prompts, quirking up a single brow. Hyungwon reaches into his own inner pocket, and retrieves a guarantee of amnesty for whatever Sunflower chooses in exchange for the information. Sunflower nods, seemingly relieved as he all too eagerly grabs for the envelope in Hyungwon’s hands, snatching it away and practically shoving the information into the Kingsman’s hands before he can even blink.

Hyungwon doesn’t question it, figuring the man must have a pretty dangerous situation right now because of all this, and merely slips the information into his coat pocket.

“Of course,” Sunflower mutters, glancing over at Hyungwon with a humorless grin, “I can’t very well let you remember any of this…” Hyungwon has to stifle a sigh, finding this all too typical. After so many years in the secret service, he’s had his memory wiped more times than he can count. He really ought to get his head scanned, because surely that couldn’t be good for him. Sunflower leans close, his breath tickling Hyungwon’s neck. “I’ll see you soon, Pretty Boy,” he whispers lowly.

Hyungwon is about to ask just what the man means, but a prick of pain halts the words in his throat. He glances down to see a syringe poking up out of his arm, and gives a tired glare to the target. Sunflower only chuckles, and kisses Hyungwon’s cheek apologetically. He then stands and joins a group of three men who have just emerged from the nearby crowd, and grasps the hand of the tallest, tannest one with a sunny smile, while the other two stand off slightly to the side, the brunette clinging anxiously to the shortest of them all, whose watching on with a stern sort of glare.

“Name’s Minhyuk, by the way~” Sunflower confides. “Or, at least it will be soon. You might as well know since you won’t remember, anyway.” Hyungwon purses his lips in protest, and tries to think up some clever line to fire back at him, but his consciousness is already slipping away. Naturally it’s all too easy for him to fall asleep, but when drugged he’s out like a light in five seconds flat.

 “Wonnie! Yah, Wonnie!!”

Hyungwon is shaken awake, the panicked voice of his love shouting at him. He cracks open his eyes slowly, pouting confusedly at Hoseok’s frightened expression staring into his eyes.

“Hyung?” he asks, his voice thick with sleep. He glances around, very much confused as to why on a chilly terrace and not in his warm bed.

“God, Wonnie,” Hoseok exhales, pulling the younger in for a tight embrace. “Are you okay? I found your glasses on the bar, and the bartender said you had followed some guy out here. Was it Sunflower? Did you get the information? Did he do anything to you?”

Hyungwon frowns, trying to remember just what had happened that had gotten him out here. Flashes of a shorter man with a raspy voice come to the forefront of his mind, but they’re fleeting, and he grasps at them like cloud wisps.

“I… I don’t remember,” he admits, his tone souring as he realizes what must’ve happened. He pushes Hoseok away and stands, patting haphazardly around his coat for any sort of sign he’d gotten what they had come for. He feels, thankfully, a thick envelope in his pocket, and he hurriedly pulls it out. With it comes a small black box, and Hyungwon’s heart clams up his throat as he scrambles to keep it from hitting the ground.

Hoseok, however, catches it first. He stares at it, his eyebrows shooting up slowly. He glances once and Hyungwon, whose frozen where he stands in terror. He wants to shout at Hoseok not to open it, that he most certainly doesn’t want it to happen like this, without any sort of romantic dinner or planned date to mark such an occasion, but the words don’t come out.

The older flips open the black felt box, and his eyes instantly begin to water at seeing the golden band inside. He looks up at Hyungwon again, silent disbelief plain on his face as he cries his heart out. Hyungwon gulps loudly, and licks at his lips anxiously. He shuffles where he stands, unsure of quite what to say.

But, that’s the great thing about Hoseok. He always knows what to do or say so Hyungwon doesn’t have to worry.

Hoseok releases an airy chuckle, and doesn’t say anything as he pulls the ring free from the box and slips it onto the appropriate finger. He beams at his dongsaeng, stepping close to him and smashing their lips together in delight.

“Of courthe I’ll m-marry you, W-Wonnie~!” he cries out at last, his voice cracking with emotion. Hyungwon sighs out a breath he hadn’t even realized he’d been holding, and leans forward to press their foreheads together. He stares into his love’s eyes, all thoughts of the mission forgotten as he’s just content to have this beautiful man in his arms.
