And Counting by heywonwoo (♡♡♡)

Wonwoo is shy - that’s obvious - but Mingyu definitely isn’t. They’re two not entirely opposite people who cross, and some things change over time. Through lost pants, awkward teen years, fist fights, and bad jokes, Wonwoo slowly notices that falling in love isn’t all about the fluttering in one’s stomach; it’s knowing who your safe haven is. And as he learns about the bits and pieces that make up Mingyu, Wonwoo sees that maybe he’s already found his safe haven.It just takes him 7 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 9 hours, and 15 minutes to realize this - but who’s counting?

Kalon by ryerim (♡♡♡)

Reckless, Wild Youth by woozifi (♡♡♡)

What better way to determine if the silent, daydreaming outcast is gay than by seeing if he falls in love with a handsome and popular guy in his class? A story in which high school is full of Embarrassing Heterosexuals and college may be a little better, Mingyu doesn’t know what he’s getting into with that Wonwoo kid, his friends Seungcheol and Jihoon are kind of assholes, and a lot of growing up and lessons learned is to be had.

Catch the Stars by ryerim (♡♡♡)

When Mingyu’s doctor advices him to take a break from everything due to his insomnia, he defers the next semester at university and packs his things to visit his grandmother in a small village far away from the rush of the city. Once there, he meets Wonwoo, and quickly realizes that sleepless nights are going to be the least of his problems.

Tales of New York by flowerfairies (♡♡♡)

Mingyu leans back on the couch and cocks his head to the side, that infuriating smirk of his appearing on his kiss bitten lips. His black hair is messy and white shirt missing the top three buttons, showing off his obscene collarbones and the clear bite mark on his neck alongside a few scattered hickey's. He opens his mouth to speak and Wonwoo immediately considers pushing the couch down the stairs.

"Admit it, Jeon. You fell for me," he says with a smile.

Wonwoo takes hold of the thing closest to him, it happens to be the stuffed toy to Mingyu's luck, and throws it at the younger, a scandalised expression on his face.

"I didn't fall for you, Mingyu. You fucking tripped me when I walked in!"

(Or the one where they all live in New York; Mingyu and Wonwoo hate each other, Junhui and Minghao are something akin to fuck buddies and Soonyoung and Jihoon ignore their own issues to try and fix everyone else's.)

Excuse my bad handwriting by orphan_account (♡♡)

Mingyu’s just relieved there’s another sober person at this godforsaken party. Even if that other person might potentially be a serial killer (?) in his free time.

(Mingyu pinpoints the name after five seconds—Jeon Wonwoo—and double-takes. Wonwoo’s in Mingyu’s calc class, and he always sits in the back and never speaks. Which is all fine and dandy, but he’s hot, so people talk. Accounts of attempting to ask the boy out have been catalogued as an acceptable horror story to tell around the campfire.

But Mingyu does not give a shit about that right now. He’s desperate. So he grabs the water bottle and says, “Please help me.”

Wonwoo’s eyes widen. “Excuse me?”)

Habit by alswiffy (lunahui) (♡♡)

And yeah, just as expected, Minghao comes out with “never have I ever had a lip kink” and then points directly at Mingyu and says, “drink”.

“What.” Mingyu manages as the room breaks into uproar. He instantly regrets his own inability to shut the fuck up, especially around Minghao and especially when talking about Wonwoo’s mouth.

wonwoo has a habit and mingyus list of things he loves about wonwoo is getting far too long

Give Me A Chance To Be Yours by pinlilli (♡)

“I love you.”

“Uhhhhh,” Mingyu said intelligently. “Okay? I love you, too?”

Maybe he should have taken a hint given the way Wonwoo was looking at him, dark eyes gleaming with intensity and the colour high in his cheeks. Wonwoo was standing with his shoulders squared, chin tipped up in challenge, and fists clenched at his side. He looked like he was two seconds away from busting Mingyu’s nose. But Mingyu had about two functioning brain cells, and he was still startled by the way Wonwoo had accosted him in the hallway as he was lumbering to the toilet to take a piss.

Wonwoo confesses his love to Mingyu. Mingyu reacts poorly.

A Mighty Stranger by dell_x

The universe was kind. When a soul reached the age of eighteen, they would remain so until they were reunited with their soulmate, and had the means of staying together. And so, people were happy, and souls were made more content each time they reincarnated, and all was well.

However, some, like a certain Kim Mingyu, took advantage of this kindness, and used the ability of reincarnation to extend their lives at the expense of their soulmate.

But Jeon Wonwoo has had enough.

Closer by roseey

'Are you not buying those hyung?' Mingyu asks in a weak small voice and that immediately sets something flaring in Wonwoo's chest.

He turns around to face his alpha, eyes dead set on him and glaring to the point that his frown deepens.

'How do you expect me to conceive a child if I'm taking those pills, stupid?!'

spooked by lunahui

Wonwoo nods as Mingyu continues. “I finished my essay an hour ago and I was putting all my books back when I heard,” he pauses for suspense, “a noise.”

A beat passes between them.

“A noise.” Wonwoo repeats.

“A noise.” Mingyu nods, eyes wide. “A very spooky noise.”
