Doyoung thinks he and Taeyong are enemies, arch-nemesis from the dawn of time. Taeyong prefers the term 'rivals'.
The beginning of the end for Doyoung goes a little like this: Johnny asks him to brew Amortentia, he agrees, and Taeyong makes his life one million and twenty two times harder by accidentally downing said potion.
The rest is history.

Doyoung can’t imagine anyone wanting to spend ten minutes with the man, much less let him put his dick in them. Donghyuck is crazy thinking Doyoung would ever let Jaehyun get near him. And fuck him? Doyoung can’t think of anything he’d rather do less. Besides, he’s sure Jaehyun is awful at sex and has a micro penis to match. He looks exactly like the type.
“Hi, everyone,” Jungwoo says sweetly, sliding into an empty chair. “Are we talking about Jung Jaehyun and his monster cock?”
Doyoung’s brain shuts down.
Doyoung can't stand Jung Jaehyun. One little office rumor flips his world upsidedown.

“You don’t know much about soccer, do you?”
“I know my kid is going to be the best at it,” Jaemin states.
Perhaps his earlier irritation had given him an extra boost of unwarranted confidence. Maybe it was Chenle’s unparalleled excitement about the sport. Or maybe the presence of another young father ignites something long buried within him: competitiveness.
“Yeah? You think so?”
Jaemin narrows his eyes.
“I know so.”
In which Jaemin and Jeno are petty single fathers out to destroy the sanctity of youth soccer.

Donghyuck laughs again, his entire face scrunching up with the sound. He crushes freckles between the wrinkles at his mouth, his shoulders trembling and his gums just peeking out behind his lips, and he’s so beautiful. He’s so damn beautiful.

“Anyway, whatever. Tell me more about you. How long have you been playing? Why’s your level so low? Is that a smurf account?”
1JN looks at him, perplexed. “What’s a smurf account?”
“Oh my god,” Jaemin says slowly, feeling his eyes widen in disbelief. “You mean you’re really only level 83? With an SR like that?”
Expression unchanging, 1JN slowly asks, “What’s an SR?”
Jaemin is a jaded professional gamer who tastes defeat at the hands of Jeno, a casual gamer he meets at a PC bang. Through games and teamwork, they discover that falling in love is more than a (gaming) battleground.

“Thanks for stocking up milk again, honey.”
Renjun waved the other off with a roll of his eyes and was still not aware of his entire family’s meltdown over the exchange.
“Junnie,” Guanheng finally piped up while the rest of their relatives were still staring shell-shocked. “Who was that?”
It was Jeno he almost said.
Jeno who loved milk. Jeno who crashed over their place so many times after being endlessly sexiled by his own roommate that he practically lived with them now. Jeno who called him and Mark ‘honey’ and vice versa as a little inside joke after a drunken night of watching Mamma Mia! and other musicals.
Jeno who was really only his friend.
This was what Renjun should have said. But instead, in a state of panic and self depreciation, Renjun said, “Jeno… my boyfriend.”

Renjun doesn’t need to know what Jaemin’s brother does for a living to love Jaemin, and he doesn’t need to get involved in family politics when covens are notorious for holding grudges. It doesn’t bother him if Jaemin wants to leave his past behind—he loves Jaemin for who he is now. Jeno, who has a weaker grasp on magical affairs as it is, can be curious, but never pushes. They don’t need to know.
But it would be nice to get a heads up when it comes to old enemies, things that can still threaten Jaemin now. And by threatening Jaemin, threaten all three of them by association.
He can tell something is off as soon as Jeno walks into the apartment.

It would have been kinder to put him out of his misery. To end his suffering, whatever the cause, whatever his history.
But Donghyuck wasn’t kind. If this suffering soldier’s survival truly meant the guarantee of his own, then he could live. He may hate Donghyuck for it, but that was fine too. He would not be the first, and he would certainly not be the last. https://archiveofourown.org/works/31095659

The casual normalcy of the conversation actually makes Jeno more apprehensive than calm. He has to remind himself he’s in the den of his media-inciting enemy, not picnicking with a friend. So he decides then on the basics of a plan: collect evidence of Na Jaemin’s hoax and discredit him.
Or: Jeno, a modern day business prince, sets out to discredit troublesome fortune teller Na Jaemin, who always seems to have baseless readings about him. When they finally clash, Jeno comes to learn that there's maybe something more connecting them after all.

The first thing Doyoung notices is that Johnny’s Instagram did not do him justice.
Doyoung has to look up at Johnny, meaning the guy easily stands over 6” tall. His head is a mess of dark hair, sticking up in odd places like he might’ve just taken a nap, but it works infuriatingly well with his softer features -- round cheeks, kind eyes and bow shaped lips that are clearly used to smiling if the lines are any indication. He’s built with lean muscle that still makes him look broad under his oversized t-shirt, and of course, there’s the tattoos: a colorful balance of flowers and animals that covers his entire left arm, fascinating in a way that makes Doyoung itch to get a closer look at each one.
He doesn’t, of course. Instead, he snaps out of it once he realizes he’s been staring at Johnny for a beat too long and scrambles to extend his hand, hoping the way his neck and face are heating up can be excused by his nerves and not how utterly fuckable his tattoo artist is.
