seokmin really needed to start finding better ways to get out of these events. his age old excuse of "there's a really important project for the quarter due in a few weeks and i'm utterly clueless about it" was starting to wear thin considering the fact that half of these parties happen towards the end of the year when his company has already wrapped up their projects.
but then, this particular convention didn't seem like the rest. it was the annual "young changemakers" convention, his first one since he took over the company. he'd talked to a grand total of six people his age in the few hours he'd been there, and all of them had done nothing but brag about their money and wealth! not one of them seemed actually interested in the business aspect of the well, you know, running a business. to seokmin, this was better than being surrounded by a bunch of middle-aged people asking very invasive questions about his private life.
as he kept wandering about the convention, making small talk here and there with a few familiar faces, he spots you, sitting on one of the corner tables nursing a glass of chardonnay. he quickly calls over his secretary,
"minghao, come here. i need you to do something for me."
xu minghao, seokmin's secretary of the past seven years, was quite accustomed to his boss' peculiar requests. despite being the same age, minghao was far more perceptive and mature as compared to seokmin. he finishes off his glass of wine and walks over, exasperated.
"yes sir, what is it?"
"do you happen to have any idea of who that is?" he says, pointing to you.
minghao looks over at you and back at seokmin.
"are you seriously telling me you have no idea who she is?" questions minghao, annoyed by his boss' lack of ability to remember crucial information during networking events such as this one.
seokmin looks over at him, completely clueless about your identity.
minghao answers with a sigh,
"that's y/n, the ceo of l/n enterprises. i specifically mentioned her to you because she's the only person here without a family business. her company was completely built by her and her alone. also, her achievements are exemplary, she made the dean's list at harvard and is one of our major shareholders so technically speaking, she's kinda like your boss."
seokmin blinks at him. "in commoner words, please?"
"basically, she's the only one here who isn't a damn nepo baby and happens to own a good chunk of our company."
"ah! got it."
"so if i'm done here, i will take my leave."
minghao turns on his heel and leaves before seokmin has the chance to say anything. he just chuckles to himself and starts walking towards you when he hears minghao call after him,
"also, i didn't tell you this but your father has been trying to set up a blind date with her for you. something about you being incapable of making her fall for you on your own or something."
now, more determined than ever, he walks over to you and sits down across you.
"hi, i'm seokmin, ceo of lee enterprises, and you are?"
"y/n, your blind date for tomorrow evening. although i'm guessing your father hasn't told you about it yet."
he looks away, flustered. you laugh and he might as well have gotten whiplash with how fast he turned his head to look at you.
"he might've. i get quite a few of those, so i tend to lose track."
you stare at him incredulously. you knew about him from your uni days, the only nepo kid in oxford business that gave a fuck about his academics enough to make it onto the dean's list. now, here he was, sitting in front of you, looking and acting every bit the cocky brat you didn't expect him to be. you voice this thought out loud,
"i didn't expect someone who ended up on the dean's list at oxford to act like this but apparently, appearences can be deceiving after all"
seokmin visibly lights up at the mention of the dean's list. you see, only a handful of people actually bothered to find out about him as a person rather than as just an extension of his father and lee enterprises. so, when someone generally tried finding out about him, the dean's list was one of the first things that would pop up.
"you know about the dean's list at oxford business?"
you roll your eyes, "well yeah, obviously! we were required to know who we would be competing against in the industry so we had to find out about the dean's list of most ivy league b-schools"
seokmin has never admired someone as much as he admires you in that exact moment.
"so, about that date..."
you look at him over the rim of your wine glass, "what about it?"
seokmin can't believe it. he's about to ask someone out on a date. like a normal person.
"um, well, instead of, y'know, letting my dad decide the time and place and everything, i was wondering if i could take you out. as lee seokmin, business nerd, not as lee seokmin, ceo."
you chuckle at his description of himself.
"business nerd?" that's an interesting nickname to give yourself."
"i didn't give it to myself, my best friend did. we weren't in the same university but that didn't stop us from being absolute headaches to each other from opposite ends of the world."
"best friend? is it someone in the industry or..?"
"oh, he's the heir to jeon and kim associates."
you've heard the name before. jeon & kim.
"wait, is your friend mingyu?"
seokmin is surprised at the mention. he nods excitedly, looking like an eager poodle.
"d'you know him?"
"know him?! i studied with him! the two of us always partnered up for group projects because we meshed so well together," as you're rattling off about your memories with mingyu to seokmin, you remember it.
"WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! YOU'RE MINNIE?!"
seokmin snorts his soda at your sudden outburst. he's still coughing and sputtering as you apologise to the people who had turned around to stare at you while passing him tissues to clean himself up. once everything is back into the lull it was in previously, you elaborate,
"you're minnie, right?"
seokmin recalls his friend constantly calling him that when on call with him so he nods, a wave of nostalgia washing over him at the fond memories. he really needs to catch up with gyu soon. maybe he could get minghao to set up a meeti-
"i always thought he was talking about his girlfriend whenever he talked about 'minnie'. turns out it was you, huh? funny."
seokmin pauses mid-sip to give you a look that says 'are you kidding me?'
"okay, first of all, he already had a girlfriend when he was in college to whom he got married to last month. secondly, if the two of you are so close, then how come i didn't see you at the wedding, huh?"
"probably because i was the maid of honour and busy making sure it was perfect, but y'know, who cares."
seokmin vividly remembers the maid of honour at mingyu's wedding. and it was not you.
"okay, i remember that day really well and know for a fact that the maid of honour had red hair, and you don't."
"ever heard of hair dye, seokmin?" you reply dryly.
seokmin lets out a laugh at that and you become mesmerised for a moment because wow! how is a person so pretty and handsome and smart at the same time?
finally out of things to talk about, you and seokmin look around the room, trying to find something to keep the conversation going. seokmin gives up first, finally asking the million dollar question,
"d'you wanna get out of here? i'm honestly just bored at this point."
you look back at him with a mischievous twinkle in your eyes,
"you wanna go on that blind date right now? the food here isn't all that great and i know a really good seafood place nearby."
seokmin could really go for some seafood right about now. he nods and gets up from the table, and you follow suit. the two of you manage to make it out undetected, much to the disappointment of your secretaries, who only find out about your escapade through the headline of the dispatch article released the next day.
"Mated for life or just another fish in the sea? CEOs of L/N Enterprises and Lee Enterprises spotted on a romantic date at seafood restaurant."
summary: in which a petty argument over doughnuts made you fall for your boyfriend harder than ever.

nia’s notes: i loved writing this, it was so much fun. can you guys tell i'm craving doughnuts? anyways enjoy this fic!!.
Choi Seungcheol was a force on nature. He was terrifying. His members knew that, the staff knew that, even the fans. But if there was one person, who wasn't scared of Seungcheol, rather Seungcheol being terrified off, it was you.
The previous night, Seungcheol committed a serious crime and since then he was scared shitless of what was going to happen to him. Thankfully, he had left early in the morning, before you had time to figure out what he had done.
But now that it was lunchtime, he expected you to open the fridge in your house, only to find the last doughnut missing. Seungcheol shuddered in his seat as he thought about your reaction, at least he had the rest of the day to figure out how to fix his mistake, or that's what he had thought.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you guys but I invited yn to hang out after lunch, she should be here in around 10 minutes." Seungkwan dropped the bomb on the team and while everyone was happy to see the leader's girlfriend, Seungcheol felt his heart drop. He was done for.
"Why would you do that?!" Seungcheol's sudden shout confused the rest of the members. It was obvious he looked scared.
"Hyung, what did you do?" Dino asked bluntly, making the other snicker and laugh at Seungcheol's feigned offence.
"What makes you think that I did something? I did nothing." Seungcheol was lying straight out of his teeth and it was obvious. Everyone was staring at Seungcheol with a knowing grin, they were sitting in a circle on the floor of their dance studio, eating their lunch.
"We know for a fact, you could never be mad at yn and also you look super guilty right now, it's hilarious." Mingyu chuckled at the oldest's face but stopped when he felt the deadly glare directed his way.
Just as Seungcheol was about to rebut, the door of the dance studio opened and you walked in, smiling at everyone but your boyfriend. "Hi, guys!!" You beamed as you found a spot between Hoshi and Jeonghan to sit down.
Seungcheol almost immediately stood up and walked towards you, needy for your attention and ready to beg for your forgiveness for his grave crimes.
"Sit down." Your tone darkened immediately when you sensed our boyfriend walking towards you—all the smiles and happiness from talking to his teammates aka your friends, had vanished.
"Yes ma'am." Seungcheol turned around without hesitation and went back to his place with zero arguments. He knew he was in the wrong for eating your favourite doughnut which also was the last one in the household. The other boys in the room snickered at their scary leader's fear for his girlfriend.
The rest of the lunch went fairly roughly for Seungcheol. Every time he tried to make eye contact or smile at his girlfriend, you either scowled or rolled your eyes which earned a wince from Seungcheol. And every time, Seungcheol tried to talk to you, one of his members would pull you away for advice or to talk, it was infuriating.
An hour later, Seungcheol's pathetic attempts to make you notice him still failed miserably and it was finally time for you to leave. Just as you were about to leave the room and walk towards the elevator, Seungcheol caught your hand and pulled you to his private studio.
You looked at him expectantly, ready for him to talk. "What?" You crossed your arms and raised your eyebrow.
"I'm sorry baby. I know how much you wanted to eat that doughnut, I shouldn't have eaten it. I'll buy you all the doughnuts you want when we get home. Hmm? Please take pity on your obsessed boyfriend and forgive him." Seungcheol rested his arms on your waist, pulling you closer with each passing second. He raised one hand to move a stray strand of hair away from your face.
Even though you were angry at him, your boyfriend was very loving and attentive, to say the least. "No, I won't forgive you." But you small smile on your lips and your eyes that shone with humility and amusement spoke otherwise.
Seungcheol smiled as he knew he won you over. "Please. Please." He started to sway, taking you with him, and pout while looking at you with puppy eyes. You tried to look disgusted but burst out into laughter when Seungcheol started to do aegyo.
"Ok. Ok. I forgive you if you stop doing that thing you call aegyo, it's weird." You laughed and wrapped your arms around Seungcheol's neck to pull him in.
The both of you smiled and your boyfriend pulled you into a hug. "Thank you for forgiving me. I'll order 5 boxes of doughnuts to the house after you leave." Seungcheol muttered against your neck while your smile only grew.
"Remember, I'm letting you go easy today because you didn't know any better but next time," You pulled away for dramatic effects and became deadly serious. "You'll be sleeping on the couch for a month."
Seungcheol's smile dropped as fear overtook him. "No, you can't do that. I won't be able to sleep at all, you know that." Your boyfriend's voice wobbled at the scenario where he'd actually have to sleep elsewhere.
"Don't eat my food then, idiot." You smiled again, patting your boyfriend on his back.
"Lesson learned, baby." Seungcheol grinned looking at you with hearts in his eyes, which you reciprocated. Seungcheol leaned down to kiss you, and smiled when you kissed him back.
Later that day, you found the promised 5 boxes of doughnuts on your kitchen table and your boyfriend standing in your kitchen, learning the cooking process for your favourite food. You loved Seungcheol, but you fell harder in that moment when he went out of his way to make you happy, you knew you found the right one for you.
summary: in which you try to bake a cake for your hardworking boyfriend not realizing your dog had other ideas.

nia’s notes: it's been so long since i wrote but hope you guys enjoy this and count this as my comeback.
It was not a widely kept secret, that Kim Mingyu was a spectacular chef. And him being your boyfriend, meant that he cooked for you...a lot. So, when the thought of making something for him crossed your mind, you were invincible.
And that's how you reached this situation. You were in the final steps of finishing the cake batter when you needed to use the toilet. You made sure everything was safe before you left to take care of your business.
You walked back into the kitchen, a few minutes later. The moment you stepped in, your heart sank and your jaw dropped. "Theo!!" You screamed your dog's name who could now be seen licking your cake batter which rested on the floor, splattered everywhere.
Sensing your dumbfoundedness, Theo ran into your room, making white footprints with your cake batter. You stood there for a good minute before a small laugh left your mouth. This was going to be a tiring day.
You reached the disaster site and started to clean up. You turned off the oven, not needing it anymore and began to put all the dirty dishes into the sink before you heard your puppy running back into the kitchen to lick the batter on the floor.
"Theo, come on. It can't be that good." You chuckled as you sat next to your dog, as he absolutely devoured the contents on your floor. The batter was dog-friendly and the floor was cleaned before you started to bake, so you weren't that concerned. "I guess I have to make another cake before your dad comes back. "
You pet your dog while smiling but that dropped when you heard the front door's code being punched in. Mingyu. He was back home. 4 hours early.
By the time you processed it, Mingyu had walked into the house and into the kitchen. "Babe! Are you okay? What happened?" You heard Mingyu place his bags on the ground and kneel at your side, carefully holding your hands to examine for any injuries.
"I'm fine, Mingyu, don't worry." You smiled at your boyfriend which seemed to ease his worries a bit.
"What happened here?" You could hear the slight amusement in Mingyu's tone as he looked over the mess and picked up your dog, whose attention had changed to his father.
"I tried to bake you a cake as a surprise. You always cook for me and Theo, so I wanted to do something nice. It turned into a mess now." Your ramble was cut off by Mingyu kissing your cheek. Red flooded into your face and neck as you blushed at the sudden action. "What was that for?" You tried to sound annoyed but the smile that graced your lips betrayed you.
"Thank you for thinking of me, it means a lot. Truly." Mingyu brought his hands to your face and kissed your lips. You smiled into the kiss.
You sighed as you pulled apart and looked at the mess in front of you. "Clean up with me?" You asked as you got up and extended your arm to your boyfriend.
"Always." Mingyu took your hand and stood up. "And after that, we can make a new cake, together."
You smiled at your boyfriend and wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer for a hug. Mingyu reciprocated, his hand snaking around your waist, like muscle memory.
On the ground, next to the both of you, alongside the bag that Mingyu brought home, was a cake box. But Mingyu didn't acknowledge its presence, baking a whole new one was more fun anyway.
And at the end of the day, it was the thought that counted. Even if, you and your boyfriend had the same thoughts.

[a special announcement? what could be happening?]
Dino appears in front of the camera and sits down in a chair
Dino: Annyeonghaseyo, I’m Seventeen’s Dino.
Y/N goes to sit next to him
Y/N: Konnichiwa, I’m Seventeen’s Y/N.
Dino: We have an announcement to make.
[the announcement]
Dino pulls Y/N’s chair towards him and holds her hand tightly.
Y/N squeezes his hand back and leans onto him.
Dino: In June 2018, Y/N and I became a couple. I liked her since 2015 and she began to like me in 2017.
Y/N: We dated in secret until 2020 when the pandemic hit and I was sent back to Japan to help with HYBE Japan promotions. Dino accidentally let it slip to the rest of Seventeen, who helped to keep our secret until 2022.
Dino: We told our managers and the company at the end of 2022 and got scolded for quite a while for hiding it. But finally… in 2023, we were allowed to share our 5-year love with Carats worldwide.
Y/N: This video is being released because today is officially our 5th anniversary. Thank you for supporting Seventeen thus far and I hope that you all will continue to support Dino and me in our relationship.
-
S.Coups: I sort of expected Y/N and Dino to have feelings for each other, but I didn’t expect them to have been dating for 2 years before we found out.
Seungkwan: We were all very shocked to find out.
Vernon: It was crazy.
Jeonghan: Dino was in tears when he found out Y/N was staying in Japan for almost 2 years.
DK: Wah… I remember his face…
Mingyu: I remember the horror on Y/N’s face when Dino let it slip that they were together. “How can I not react this way when I’m going to be in a long-distance relationship with the love of my life?!”
Wonwoo: You even remember it word for word, LOL!
Joshua: Y/N was horrified and we were so… in shock.
The8: In Dino’s defence, he was drunk when Y/N told us she was leaving Korea for more than a year. When we told Dino that Jun and I were going back to China for the same period, he didn’t even react that… much.
Jun: Yeah…
Woozi: I could tell that Dino liked Y/N in some way.
Hoshi: Really? I couldn’t.
-
Masaharu: Konnichiwa, I’m Kimura Y/N’s twin brother, Kimura Masaharu. I’ve met with the other Seventeen members a few times when I travelled to Korea and Dino was introduced to me as my younger sister’s boyfriend back in… 2020.
Jirou: Konnichiwa! I’m Kimura Jirou, the youngest of the three Kimura siblings! You may also know me as Kiji from the 5th Gen Kpop group, TOX6! I became an idol because I was inspired by my sister. When I first watched ‘Hit the Road’, I finally realised how much my sister went through. That inspired me to audition for TOX6 and I got in!
-
Jirou: When she told me about her relationship with Dino-hyung, I was a bit scared because I knew how the public saw relationships in the idol industry. But when I looked at Dino-hyung, I knew he wouldn’t let my sister cry.
-
[Now you may be wondering why we did a video of the relationship reveal like this. Well… that’s because we want to show Carats how many people support this relationship in the hopes that you all can continue to give support to Y/N and Dino.]
-
Twice
Dahyun: I didn’t expect Y/N to tell us directly about her relationship.
Momo: Neither did I.
Sana: She was shaking as she told us and I could tell she was so scared to let us know about it.
Mina: I’m so glad she trusted us enough to tell us. They make a wonderful couple!

The scene fades back to Dino and Y/N.
Y/N: So, that’s our relationship reveal! The day this is released is the day of our actual anniversary. I know this isn’t the most conventional relationship reveal, but we managed to hide our relationship from Carats for 5 years. I think that’s something worthy of a huge reveal.
Dino: So, we shall end this video with a video montage of pictures from our 5-year relationship. Thank you for loving us all this time.

genre / tags : established relationship, non-idol!au, not proofread, kisses (lol)
warnings : endearments (baby)
mellow's notes : inspired by the photo above on his insta, quite concerned as to why he put his shoes on the water …
the river flows gently as wet stones and shallow waters drift along. minghao holds your hand tightly, with both of you feet bare as you walk along the smooth, stony ground, though it a bit uncomfortable walking. minghao’s hand gave you a reassuring squeeze, you knew he wouldn’t let you go.
“i’ll step in first, okay?” letting go of your hand, minghao takes small steps, glancing back at you from time to time as his feet enter the waters. minghao gasped for a moment, the water was freezing, “woo!” he suddenly let out.
he takes another step, the water flows around. minghao turns to look at you, a smile spreads on your face when you finally get a good look at the eyes that you love to look at under his cap.
he looked like a child dancing in the rain. scooping some water then tossing it, letting some droplets of it fall rapidly. some of it hit your skin and minghao looked at you with a cheeky grin.
“it’s cold, but it’s worth it!” minghao says as he extends a hand out. you gingerly take his hand, his hand was still wet from the water.
“i’m a little a little scared,” you look down on your feet, as you are taking careful steps, you felt how the boulder beneath you losing its grip on you. you immediately tense up, “oh geez…”
“it’s okay baby, i got you,” the sound of his voice is soothing, his thumb lightly moving against your knuckles, “just take small steps,”
you dip your feet in the waters before immediately retracting, minghao immediately knew how you felt as he let out a small laugh, “you gotta do it all together!”
“i will, i will…” you let go of minghao’s hand and look at the stream. taking a deep breath, you try to calmly let your legs be submerged by the freezing water, “god it’s cold…hey!”
minghao splashes you with water from his other hand, you immediately scoop some water before throwing it back at him, “not cool hao!” you say.
“sorry sorry, just thought it’d be funny,” minghao says, his hands grabbing your face, a smile on his face.
“what are you—” minghao immediately closes your lips with his. the kiss was simple, but you couldn’t help but smile, lightly pulling him closer.
minghao lets go of your face before intertwining his hands with yours. you look at minghao, his eyes were pretty as always.
“we’re in the middle of a river, hao.”
“i know,” minghao says before kissing your lips again.
