Beauty & the Beast

A/N: so remember when i mentioned rereading the Lunar Chronicles and got inspired to write fairy tale aus for wanna one. well, here’s the first installment of  the “Happily Ever After” series!

Pairing: Wanna One’s Daehwi x Reader

Genre: fairy tale!au, fluff, slight violence

Warnings: slight violence

Everyone in the city knew of Lee Daehwi, probably the prettiest boy to have ever graced the Earth

Just a sweet boy who works in his family’s flower shop

Always has a different flower tucked in his lil shirt pocket depending on the mood

One time he had the flower tucked behind his ear and everyone just cooed bc wow what a cutie

On the other hand, there was you, probably the most infamous underground fighter in the city

You pretty much spent your days at the gym, punching away at the worn bag

Sometimes people will catch you at the rundown auto shop, grease streaked across your cheeks and sweat staining the neck of your white tank

The best part is the tattoo that’s on your right bicep of a wolf entirely done in lineart

Half the city gets scared when they catch a glimpse of it, but it’s aite, as long as they don’t bug you too much

Cut back to Daehwi watering the daffodils on display in the window as he hums to himself (probably a blackpink song lol)

Anyways it’s getting close to closing time, so Daehwi does one last check around the shop before he hears the front doorbell chime

And ta-dah, he finds himself face to face with Daniel

“Uh, hyung what are you doing here?”

“Can I borrow a couple hundred?”

“Flowers? Well-”

“Dollars, Daehwi, dollars”

Turns out Daniel owed you hella money bc you fixed his motorbike for him, and if he doesn’t cough up the sum you’re kicking his ass

Daniel prefers his ass not kicked btw, and Daehwi was the only one out of his friends with a stable job lmao

“I don’t have a couple hundred dollars to lend out, but let me talk to this person”

“Daehwi,,,,,,they’ll actually break you”

“Nothing a little diplomacy doesn’t fix, c’mon, show me where this repair shop is”

Daehwi finds himself standing in the side of town his parents specifically told him not to venture into

Your co-workers stood out in front of the shop, leaning against the walls, smoking cigarettes while conversing in hushed whispers (they were both expecting fathers and exchanging tips to each other)

Daniel was practically shaking in his shoes while Daehwi strode right into the shop

“Is Y/N here?”

“Alpha? They’re in the ring tonight”

“The ring?”

“Go right from the shop and cut into the alleyway. There are stairs that will take you straight to it.”

Yeah, Daniel was scared shitless at this point, and Daehwi was intimidated too, but hey, someone’s gotta talk this whole cash owing thing out

So the two boys go down to the ring and they find themselves standing behind a crowd of people surrounding the ring, shouting and cheering, waving dollar bills in the air as they placed bets

Daehwi starts looking around

“Hey Daniel, what does Y/N look like?”

“Scary, just really scary”

“,,,,,,,,like, any other descriptions?”

“Uh, they have a wolf tattoo on their arm”

Daehwi continues dragging Daniel through the crowd trying to find this infamous Y/N until suddenly the entire crowd still

He looked up at the center of the room and finally noticed the boxing ring that stood in the middle of the room

“What’s going on?”

“The fight’s about to start”

And that was when you stepped up into the ring, your face stony and cold

A shiver ran through Daehwi’s spine when he saw how apathetic you were

The crowd cheered for you, their screaming becoming louder when you took your hoodie off to reveal your tattoo

The fight starts and quickly in you got a punch in, quickly bouncing back and ducking under your opponent’s swing

You swipe your leg under their feet to trip them, and once they fell, you pounced

Daehwi watches in horror and turns to Daniel

“You owe that monster money?????”

“Y/N? Yeah, you understand why I needed to borrow some cash?”

Your swings became even more rapid, but your face remained apathetic

When you were sure they weren’t coming back up, you got off of them, and faced the crowd and raised your bloodied fist in victory

Quickly the crowd cheered, at least, the ones that betted your victory

You left your unconscious opponent in the ring and left for the locker room

Daehwi saw this chance and quickly shook his head, trying to lessen his fear

“Let’s go, Daniel, before we lose them”

The two of them wove through the crowd and followed you into the locker room

“You’re not allowed in here” you said apathetically, not even sparing the two boys a glance

Daehwi took in a deep breath before speaking

“My friend here owes you money, but he can’t pay you back right away, is it possible he-”

“If he can’t pay me back, he shouldn’t have brought the bike in”

“Yeah but-”

“He still needs to pay me back”

“Well-”

“Labor it is”

It was Daniel’s time to speak up 

W-wait a minute, I already have a job, I can’t just-”

You finally turned to glance at the two boys

“Not my problem, you still owe me $300″

Daehwi glanced at Daniel worriedly and then chimed in

“What if, what if I worked off his debt?”

You looked over at him

“You’re not the one who owes me $300″

“Well, yeah, but I only work at my family’s flower shop, and that’s not even a job, so I can work for you for however long until Daniel’s debt is paid”

“Why would you do that?”

“Because he’s my friend”

And tbh you couldn’t argue with the guy since he already made up his mind, so you just shrugged

That’s how Daehwi ended being your little runner

He pretty much was in charge of running out and buying stuff you needed, like equipment for the bike you were working on or antiseptic for the cut on your cheek, normal stuff

Like, for a whole month you barely acknowledged his existence, only giving him a nod or a hum or a request, nothing more, nothing less

Well, that’s gonna change soon

Bc one night when he was out buying you some food since you were working late in the shop, some asshat you beat up last week in the ring decided to hassle him a bit

“Hey, you’re Alpha’s pet aren’t you?”

“I’m their assistant”

Daehwi quicken his pace a bit, but the guy grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall

“Alpha’s not gonna like it much if his pet’s a little damaged,” the guy taunted, pulling his fist back

Daehwi quickly shut his eyes and after a couple seconds, he realized the fist never came

He opened his eyes to find you standing behind the dude holding his fist and,,,,,,,,,,Daehwi’s hella lucky he’s not that guy right now bc wow, you look like you want to kill him

Which you didn’t do, you just beat the living shit out of him and left the guy propped up against the wall

Daehwi trailed after you, the bag of food, now cold, in his hand

And tbh his heart kinda fluttered a bit knowing you beat up that guy for him, but it’s probably just because he’s your runner, nothing important

lmao jokes on you daehwi

And his unspoken question kinda just hangs in the air

Why?

“Did you get my food?”

Daehwi blinked at your back for a second before handing you the bag

You looked in and smiled, like genuinely smiled and wow Daehwi felt his heart skip agAIN

Bc who knew the scariest underground fighter in all of the city had the cutest smile on earth?

“Sweet, they gave me an extra fortune cookie”

And tbh after that night, things got a little bit more comfortable between the two of you

Like, the whole reason as to why you never really interacted much with Daehwi was bc he was so pretty you couldn’t say anything substantial without being flustered 

Every time he asked you about your day, you could practically feel your cheeks reddening

Or the one time he smiled at you and gave you a thumbs up after another victory, you swore you felt your heart race

But, you’re awkward, and you knew your reputation in the city, no way Daehwi would see you as anything other than an underground fighter, a monster

Yet, the walls you placed around yourself started to crumble a bit around the edges

Especially one day when you decided

“I’m teaching you how to fight”

Daehwi’s eyes widened like saucers

“Why?”

“Bc the next time some punk decides to mess with you, I might not be there”

Wow, another heart fluttering moment for Daehwi

You take him down to the little gym nearby, giving a little nod to the other people there at the odd hour of the night

Daehwi just trails after you and ends up finding himself standing in front of a punching bag

“Throw your best punch”

Daehwi looks at you incredulously before pulling his fist back and swinging at the bag,,,,,only for you to let out a little chuckle at how weak it was

His cheeks flushed, half from embarrassment and the other half from hOW CUTE THAT CHUCKLE WAS

 You take his hand into yours (the two of you are blushing so hard jfc)

“Here, fold your hand like this,”

You then guide his fist back

“And swing like this”

Daehwi could practically hear his heart pounding in his ear

Once his hand made contact with the punching bag, you realized exactly how close in proximity the two of you were

You quickly pulled away and cleared your throat

“Yeah, just practice, I’ll show you which places to aim for once your punch gets better”

And it became a little routine, after you finish work in the shop and you didn’t have a match, you take Daehwi to the gym and afterwards you buy him ice cream

His smile every time you present him with the vanilla cone just makes your cheeks heat up, and eventually one night Daehwi just

“Hey, Y/N, I like you”

You almost spat out your ice cream

“W-wh- are you sure?”

“Mhm”

“But, why? I beat up people for a living. I scare the living shit out of half the city, and you only hang out with me to pay off your friend’s debt, which by the way, is paid off.”

You awkwardly sat there next there next to Daehwi, letting your ice cream dip onto the pavement

“Because you’re cute.”

Yeah, you dropped your cone at this point

“Even though you seem scary at first, you’re actually really cute. Your laugh and smile make my insides warm. You’re really patient when teaching me. You’re also very protective of me, and you buy me ice cream often. Plus,”

“Plus?”

“I want to know more about you, because you’re so much more than a scary underground fighter. You’re so much more than Alpha; you’re Y/N”

And like wow bc who knew he’d see you that way????

You were so used to being looked at with fear and disdain that at this moment the way he was looking at you, his eyes wide and looking at you with such open warmth

And he kind of just takes your hand into his and pulls out a napkin and wipes at the sticky mess your ice cream cone left

“I like you too” you whisper, and the smile that Daehwi sends you is just blinding

After that night the two of you embarked on a very awkward relationship

Daehwi no longer had to run errands for you, but he still finds himself stopping by the shop to bring you snacks

And one time you decided to take him out on an actual date, granted it was just a walk around the park at night but it was a date

But during the date when Daehwi grabbed your hand you just flushed

Like your face was as red as a strawberry 

It got even redder when Daehwi coo’d over your cuteness

And eventually one day, Daehwi dragged you out of the gym and took you to his family’s flower shop

“Here, I want to give you this”

You take the flower from Daehwi’s hand and admired its beauty

“What is it?”

“An amaryllis”

“What does it mean?”

“Worth beyond beauty, like you”

“W-what do you mean?”

Yeah, you were a blushy mess aGAIN

“Even though people say you’re scary and all that, you’re more than what you look like. You’re strong, and kind, and loyal, and that’s why I like you.”

Daehwi was shOOKTH when you marched up to him and planted a kiss

But it was cute bc it was a soft kiss, something innocent, the two of you fumbling, trying to figure out what to do with your hands

And when you pulled away, you kissed the tip of his nose

“I like you too”

And the two of you dating is just the cutest

Like hot cocoa dates are a must bc despite your scary appearance, you had the biggest sweet tooth and Daehwi loves giggling whenever you get a little whipped cream mustache

He still goes to the gym to practice his punch and for your anniversary he shows you his improvement and pretty much basked in your praise

Also, you still fight, but this time Daehwi comes with this huGE POSTER GLITTER AND EVERYTHING CHEERING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS

And whenever you fight, he gives you a little good luck forehead kiss, so your win streak is onto like 7 and counting

You also get a kiss and an ice cream cone after every victory so you wIN ALL THE TIME

Plus, whenever you get a busted lip or a bruised eye, Daehwi just runs around the locker room trying to collect together an ice pack and some antiseptic and he’s a mess

But it’s cute and you smile when he runs some cream over your lip bc it’s busted and he blushes af when you kiss his fingertips

Y’all just the softest okay? 

Who knew the beauty and the beast would be so cute?

I did that’s who
