main masterlist
Alright we're taking about minhee here
The person who's known to be rather quiet yet mature and reserved out of all the members in the group
I read that he's quite studious too yike the disappointment i'll be to him
Anyways
If minhee's crush ended up being a couple years older than him, I feel like her would be quite intimated at first
Like he would be hesitant on approaching you at first or feeling anxious when you're near him
He's definitely someone who would admire his crush from afar, observing your movements as you conversate with your coworkers
For some reason I'm imagining this in a office setting between a senior employee and junior employee
I get the vibes that he'll try to make himself more mature (if he isn't already) to match up with you 'level'
His big eyes and soft smile while he listens to you talk, slightly nodding omg
I don't think he would tell his members about his crush first. If anything, he'll want to sort out his feelings first, concluding to himself that what he is feeling, is a crush.
He manages to hiding his feelings well, putting up a kind smile
But once he let's his guard down, he's an open book lmao
The workplace was busy, employees chattering and bustling. Your desk was a couple across from his. He could help but to stare at your concentrated expression, brows slightly furrowed as you bit your lip, trying to type something down. Your eyes suddenly travelled above your computer, meeting his dreamy eyes directly. Minhee darts his eyes away, covering his mouth as naturally as possible but in reality, he's a blushing mess.
I feel like once Minhee realizes that he has a crush on you, he ends up holding it with pride
He somehow finds creative ways to interact with you, even if it leads to him looking beat red in the end.
Majority of your coworkers have clocked out, you had to stay overtime to finish up with your work.
Minhee actually finished work a while ago but after seeing you stay behind, he thought that he'll stay behind too, to accompany you, even if you didn't notice.
But then he's purposely walk slowly past your desk to head to the breakroom.
"Oh hey Minhee! You're still here? Working overtime?" Your eyes lightened up, greeting him. His stomach fluttering.
He ends up doing some extra work on the empty cubicle beside you and that's how the two of you started to get closer.
Minhee fell deeper in love with you when he realizes how you don't stereotype or discriminate between the difference work classes, and treats everyone with equality.
I can totally see Minhee taking care of his crush. Especially when it get's busy and she skips out on lunch or when it's raining and you forgot your umbrella. Minhee is somehow always there.
Being on a higher level, you deal with more workload and stress and so Minhee is always by your side to listen with all ears about your rants. He's very supporting over the things you do, and never fails to let you know how proud he is of you.
You would sometimes see sticky notes on your desk whenever you come to work or after your break
"Remember to eat your lunch!" "The weather is nice today, get some fresh air during your break!" "You've work hard today, don't forget you're human and needs breaks!"
He loves to see your expression when you find his notes, your cheeks heating up as you hide your expression before glancing over at him, shaking your head while smiling.
He starts stepping out of his comfort zone to interact with you more, maybe even adding in slight teasing and jokes.
He might not realize it himself but he ends up finding opportunities to spend time with you, whether it be working together, grabbing a quick lunch together or walking home together.
At first he might seem to give off a more mature, quiet and cool vibe because he didn't want you to see him as someone too childish but as time goes on, he loosen up, showing more of his energetic, and playful side which you obviously accept with love
It might take some time for him to open up at first, especially if you are older than him, but once he falls in love with you, he's all-in. He pours his admiration, adding in the spark of fun and excitement in your life which you would not except from him. <3

“I’m bored.”
You sigh. “I know since you feel the need to remind me every five minutes.”
“Because I’m bored!” he reiterates in an overly dramatic tone. “We’ve been here for over an hour. How long does it take to stare at some clouds?”
“Hey, they’re not just some clouds!” You sit up a little to lightly punch his arm, laying back on the grass right after. “Use your imagination! Come on, look at that one. What do you see?”
You point your finger to a random spot.
Minhee squints as he glances up at the sky, puzzled. “I don’t know, kind of looks like a cat giving birth.”
You click your tongue. “How poetic.”
“Thank you.” He gives you a lazy, lopsided grin, his eyes squinting from the sunlight. “Also, do we have to be in the grass? Couldn’t we have set up a hammock or something?”
“I’m starting to see why Serim doesn’t invite you to his family camping trips anymore.”
He shrugs. “You’re not wrong.”
Though he’s your best friend, Minhee has never taken much interest in your hobbies and vice versa. You were far from polar opposites; the two of you just simply didn’t engage in any similar past times.
But ever since he got you to join him and the boys for a night of karaoke, you’ve been begging him to give your interpretation of fun a try in the hopes that he’ll enjoy it too. At first, he thought cloud watching couldn’t be that bad since he usually liked things that required minimal energy, but it didn’t take him long to realize that it just didn’t really click with him.
Now, some weekends he’ll force himself out of bed in the morning to sit in his backyard and stare at the sky to see if the experience will feel any different. It never does.
Though one day when he passes by the park on a jog and finds you by yourself in the field, he sees just how adorable you are. The way you appear so lost in your own world, softly humming a tune under your breath. The way you react when he calls out your name as you turn your head to look at him with a soft smile.
He’s undeniably infatuated by your serenity.
Minhee still doesn’t understand any of the joy that could possibly come from watching a bunch of clouds, but if he were to think of something, at least they reminded him of you.
synopsis : ever the good students, you and minhee will do anything to get a good grade, including spending a day with each other.
you and kang minhee never got along. not when you were children, and not now, even in college.
everything was a competition for the both of you, whether it was being the best player on the soccer team, or having the best grades in school. you refused to lose to minhee, and he refused to lose to you.
life can be funny sometimes, but you and minhee definitely weren’t laughing when you saw your names listed together for a project. you shot each other glares from across the lecture hall. it was bad enough that you both decided to attend the same college, and chose the same major. now you had to work together? you were cursing the universe as your professor dismissed you, trying to leave the hall as fast as you could.
of course, you weren’t moving fast enough, because you soon felt minhee’s presence beside you.
“listen, i don’t want to be your partner either, but this is a big part of our grade.” minhee rolled his eyes when he noticed you were ignoring him, “you know what? fine, i’ll write the essay, you draw the visuals. i’ve always been a better writer than you, anyway.”
“as if.” you finally looked at him, “you are not better at writing than i am, kang. you’re not better than me at anything.”
“that’s not what our marks said last semester.” minhee snickered as your face fell into a scowl.
“you’re not writing that essay.” you huffed, and minhee raised an eyebrow at this.
“so, what then? do you want to do it together?” he joked, but he became serious when you nodded, “what? no way, y/n. i’m not spending my weekend with you of all people. i have a life, you know. i have something called friends, i’m not sure if you’re familiar with those.”
“by 'friends', do you mean hyeongjun?” you shot back, “i believe that’s just a friend. singular.”
“whatever. when and where are we meeting? i’d like to get it done all in one day, so let’s not meet too late, alright?”
“pushy much?” you pulled out your phone to check your calender, “i’m free tomorrow around noon. yunjin is going home for the weekend, so you can just come to my dorm. make sure you shower first, though. you smell.”
you could hear minhee cursing you out as you walked away from him, a grin forming on your face.
➳ the next day. noon.
minhee was knocking at your door exactly at noon.
i guess he really meant it when he said he wanted to be done as quick as possible, you thought.
opening the door, it took everything in you to not let your jaw drop. you’d never seen minhee dressed down before, and it was a miracle that he actually looked… good.
“are you gonna let me in, or are you just gonna stand there looking stupid?” his voice was laced with annoyance.
shaking your head to clear your thoughts, you moved out of the way so he could walk in, “don’t be an asshole. i think we established that neither of us want to be doing this, so don’t make it worse than it has to be.” you closed the door, leading minhee over to the small desk in the corner of the room.
minhee said nothing as he sat down, before he pulled his laptop out, and then his notes. sitting beside him, you couldn’t bring yourself to look away from him as he did so. you hated to admit it, but kang minhee was attractive.
“see something you like?” minhee’s voice broke you out of your thoughts for the second time since he’d been there, but this time, you could tell he was smirking.
shooting him a glare, you scoffed, “you wish, kang. don’t be so full of yourself, it isn’t a good look.”
“what if i did? wish you’d look at me like that more often, i mean.” minhee challenged, “what then?”
“what the fuck are you talking about? do you feel okay?” you spoke, despite the shock coursing through your veins.
“i feel fine.” minhee leaned closer to you, “what about you? how do you feel?”
refusing to back down, you stayed where you were, “fine.”
minhee just smirked as he leaned even closer. you could feel his breath on your face, and you’d be lying if you said you weren’t anticipating his next move.
“is it okay…” he placed his hand on your cheek, “if i kiss you?”
“ew, don’t be gross.” you grinned before closing the gap between your lips.
pulling away after a few seconds, you and minhee could do nothing but stare at each other. had all of the hatred between the two of you blossomed into attraction? neither of you were sure.
“that was a one time thing. that’s not happening again.” you finally broke the silence.
“never again.” minhee agreed with a nod, beginning to type away on his laptop.
as you began to work beside him, you couldn’t hold back the smile that was forming on your lips.
rumor has it that it was most definitely not a one time thing.
summary: A late-night of unfinished assignments lead to shiny, gold Daiso stickers that could only hope to imitate his beautiful freckles.

*.✧.*✧*.✧.*✧*.✧.*
The sound of rustling and frantic mumbling pulled Minhee from his sweet dream of a bathtub full of tabby kittens.
His eyebrows furrowed and a groan slipped past his lips as if telling whoever and whatever to simply fuck off. A smile rose to his face as sleep quickly found him again soon after.
The room was silent, save for the small "Minhee?" that was whispered out into the still air, followed by the creaking of the bed.
Little taps danced across his cheeks every few seconds and he subconsciously wrinkled his nose. He felt like he was going to sneeze any second from the tickling feeling.
Starting to feel frustrated, he finally opened his eyes, trying to catch the culprit red-handed. Staring back at him like a deer in headlights was his s/o, completely frozen without saying a word.
"..what are you doing?"
They gave him an awkward smile, moving from their spot in his lap and onto the bed next to him. "You know how I said I was gonna stay up and finish my paper? Well, I got bored of that and decided to come to bed,,, but I couldn't fall asleep and I had a good idea!"
Minhee rubbed at his eyes. "Okay.. and what was it?"
"When people can't sleep, they count sheep. Sheep are really... been there and done that so…. I started counting your freckles. Then I realized your freckles kinda remind me of stars. So I went to Daiso and brought these star stickers to put on your cheeks." they held up the sheet of stickers with a sheepish smile.
"You brought who for my what?" he sat up, giving them a sleep-fueled confusion-ridden expression.
"I, um… I brought little star stickers to put on your cheeks"
Minhee couldn't help but laugh as he thought over everything he was just told. "You could've just woken me up to make this whole thing easier on yourself, babe."
They pouted, "but you looked so peaceful in your sleep.."
"Well I'm up now, aren't I?"
The two of them sat across each other on the floor, Minhee quietly watching as his s/o was hard at work.
"Are you done yet?"
"Hmmm.. nope, not yet. Gotta make this perfect.."
As the feeling of boredom started to settle into his stillness, his hand reached for the Daiso bag, dumping the contents out onto the floor. Grabbing the lone glitter jar, he looked down at it, the cogs in his brain churning before he looked up to his s/o's face and back down again. A mischievous smirk painted his face as he laughed to himself.
"What are you-" They were cut off by Minhee's gentle poke under their eye, a grainy feeling under his fingertip.
"Oh… it barely stuck." he sulked as he pulled his hand back, looking at his work.
"What the hell did you just put on my face?"
He held up the jar with an innocent smile, "I thought we could match~"
Their eyes grew as they realized what was going on, "you put glitter on my face?! I'm still gonna be scrubbing this stuff off by the time I'm sixty-four!"
"You'll be a fashion icon in your 60's—you should thank me really. Besides, you look cute."
They rolled their eyes with a sigh, the smile on their face betraying their act. "If you want the glitter to actually stick.. you can go grab my eyelash glue or something…."

summary: sleeping in your boyfriend’s bed for the first time sounds a lot easier than it is and, thankfully, he gets that.
warnings: eluding to possible anxieties
you lay on the edge on minhee‘s bed, scared to move an inch even though you knew he was awake. catching a glimpse of your boyfriend, who was immersed in his game that he was playing on his phone, you made the conscious decision to move your arm from next to you.
“what’s wrong?” minhee asked, not looking away from his phone.
instead of replying, you repositioned your arm back to its original place.
“are you worried about falling asleep here?” he continued, he knew you so well.
you nodded, knowing that he couldn’t see you yet still feeling happy that you somewhat confessed. he passed you his phone and motioned towards the charger he had plugged in just before getting in bed. you set his phone aside, checking that it was charging before he carried on speaking.
“you know, my bed isn’t much different from yours,” he propped himself up on his elbow so he was speaking in your direction. “there’s blankets and teddies, the door is closed, the fan is on, there’s nothing to worry about.” he reassured “and i’m here, if you need anything.”
his smile doubled yours as you felt his hand come to your hip and turn you on your side to face him. you followed your natural instinct, placing a gentle kiss on his nose before snuggling down into the comfort of his duvet. your hands snaked around his torso, holding him as you would your favourite teddy at home.
“cutie” minhee whispered to himself, kissing the top of your head.
picking up on his compliment, you gripped him tighter. of course, minhee was thankful for that, as when your grip loosened, he knew that you’d fallen asleep. as hours of slumber passed, he never once removed his hand from your waist, gathering it was probably somehow relieving for you to know that he was there for you.
when you woke up, you were surprised to see the time: 9am. you’d slept through the night without any problems! you once again caught sight of minhee in your peripheral, still trying to complete the level you saw him playing the previous night.
“oh you’re finally awake!” he smiled, putting his phone down immediately and coming to kiss your cheek “i accidentally hit your shoulder when i was trying to grab my phone as well, you didn’t even wake at that?” you rubbed your eyes at the news, wondering when he did that, because you really didn’t feel a thing. “but in all seriousness, you did so well for your first time sleeping here, baby, im proud of you!” he smiled softly, grabbing your hand in his and rubbing over your knuckles with his thumb. “i’m really proud of you.”
a/n: a little fluff scenario for you guys especially @chwe-yeeun as a thank you for helping me out with my donghan work. It's halfway done and I'm really excited for it. Hope you enjoy this little something meanwhile - Mia
[3:21 pm]
Minhee was checking himself out in the body length mirror, turning around to make sure his new sweater fit him perfectly. He was fixing the shoulders of the pastel blue material when his eyes met yours through the mirror. He stopped in his tracks and it seemed like the staring contest between the two of you would never stop until he realized your true intentions for standing at the door of his bedroom and studying you silently.
"nO", he warned and turned a 180 to face you, hands outstretched as if to tell you to stay still. You took a step forward which led to him take a step backward, eyes wide. His voice rose a bit, fear evident in his eyes as your stoic expression slowly turned to that of an antagonist, which right now, you seemed to be in your boyfriend's eyes. "Please not this one. At least not ye-" Minhee couldn't finish his pleas as you launched himself on him, tackling him into a hug which sent the both of crashing down on the bed that fortunately was right behind. Minhee groaned at the impact, making sure to hold you tight so as not to let you get hurt in any way.
"I don't want your sweater, Mini" you smile up at your boyfriend. "I just wanted to smother you with cuddles and love because you look so soft and comfortable in this thing", you squish his cheeks and surprise him with a quick kiss on the nose, making him scrunch up his nose and let out a soft giggle. "Well that was one way of letting me know", he teases you. You scoff at him and make yourself comfortable on the bed with him before wrapping your arms around him and burying your face in his chest, the soft material feeling warm and lovely. "Whatever, you love me" you reply, your voice muffled thanks to the sweater, his chest vibrating with the little laugh he lets out, pressing a kiss on the top of your head. "Yeah I do, idiot." He brings you closer to him, resting his head on top of yours, feeling content with you in his arms as the two of you doze off to sleep.
send him a message and he’ll be in your front in a few minutes
he likes your company a lot LIKE A LOT
ready to drop whatever he is doing and is readily available to be with you whenever you ask him to drop by
knows your favorite drink, food, flower, book, movie, scent— well, he probably have almost all your favorites memorized by heart
he also has your antics memorized; the way you react to things
please he’d probably take joy in mimicking your gestures and reactions
and yes, sometimes he teases you
i don’t think he’d be able to regard it as a romantic feeling by himself
like perhaps one of his friends would go and tell him about how they noticed minhee’s way of caring towards you, how he talks about you, and how the minhee with you around is different with the usual minhee
like whenever you’re around there’s a sparkle in his eyes;
when you’re sad there’s nothing but deep worry on his face
and the way he talks about you, a small smile on his lips— small yet packed with evident enthusiasm
“minhee, do you actually love your best friend?”
“uhhh yes? y/n is my best friend. of course, i love them.”
“oh please, not that kind of love. you know what i mean. do you love love them?”
he’d be unable to answer— he’ll be confused. very confused.
and this time he’d be a lot more conscious of his actions and reactions whenever he’s with you
like he’ll take notice of what he feels
“why does that little gesture makes me smile?”
“why does their laughter makes me happy?”
“why do i want to be with them when we basically just separated two minutes ago?”
“why do i want to spend more time with them?”
“why is my heart beating fast over small things?”
“why am i getting nervous?”
minhee will not confess as quick though, he’ll take his time to sort his feelings
he’s probably afraid of ruining your friendship as well because you know minhee loves your company and would like to be with you for as long as he can
and to top that, he loves you
he doesn’t wish you to get sad or frustrated for not feeling the same way
weighs the consequences; asking himself what will happen if he confesses to you
like will that be worth it?
the thing is minhee doesn’t favor the idea of lying to you so as much as he’s torn between keeping his feelings to himself or actually telling you about it, he’ll probably be honest about it in the end
not hastily though, his actions were probably planned and well thought of
probably planned to confess and bring it up on your next hang out, but chickened out after the thought of being awkward or ruining your friendship comes to his mind
but one night, as he was walking you home he finally gathered enough courage
telling himself that whichever result he’ll get after confessing, he’ll respect what you feel and accept what could possibly come
“y/n, i have a secret to say.”
and after you ask him about what it is, he’ll continue as he stares at something else, afraid that if he looks at you he’ll end up not confessing
“after a long time of asking myself the same question, i’ve concluded that i’ve fallen in love with someone.”
“oh, who’s the lucky one minhee?”
“you.” fixates his gaze at you. “i’m in love with you.”
A/N: HAHAHHAHAAH another Minhee angst ,, it’s a cliffhanger and rly short but i like it so enjoy
“Minhee you don’t think i’ve noticed?!” you took in a deep breath, placing a hand on his tense shoulder. With a weak smile you spoke “you don’t think I see the way you stare at me? or how hugs last longer then hugs between friends should or how you hold me when you think i’m alseep?” Minhee refused to meet your eyes, he bore his eyes into the wooden floors trying to keep his tears at bay. “Minhee i know, i’ve known since we’ve met.” you confessed, his easy going and laid back demeanor always slipped away when you where near, you never missed the way his cheeks flushed red when you spoke to him, although Minhee failed to notice the same blush on yours.
“Minhee, i don’t think— i just don’t know if i feel the same way about you.” you lied through your teeth “you deserve better than someone who can’t give you a answer” you wanted to confess to him you felt the same way, you wanted to scream it into the empty sky or tell it anyone who’d allow you to. you’re in love with Kang Minhee. But you can’t, it’s not right. Minhee bit his lip repeatedly, trying to figure out how to respond without hurting himself or his pride anymore than he already had. Clearing his throat, he finally lifted his head, taking your hand off his shoulder and bringing it into his own.
“why are you lying?” the question made your throat dry up. “what do you mean-” “-everyone knows, everyone knows the way you look at me, everyone knows how you linger in hugs between us, everyone can see that we’re in love! so why are you lying” the once upper hand you thought you had was long gone. you sat there speechless, not knowing how to respond. he had caught you, trying to lie to not deal with the sticky situation of emotions and relationships, so what do you do now? will he catch you if you lie again? or will he back off with some reassurance?
