Author Note: this is part one, aka the very short introduction to my monsta x tatbilb au! please enjoy! and keep in mind that this series is v e r y minhyuk centric, so there’s that too
most people write blogs or tweets when they feel too much and nobody wants to listen to them. minhyuk? he writes letters.
minhyuk's letters are his most secret possessions. he writes a letter when he has a crush so intense he doesn't know what else to do.
there are six in total:
hyunwoo, the boy next door
hoseok, the school's 'bad boy’
kihyun, the math whiz
jooheon, the star baseball player
hyungwon, minhyuk's coworker
and changkyun, jooheon's childhood best friend.
so what happens when all of his letters get sent out?
sunday began as a normal day for minhyuk. he got up, ate a quick breakfast, and then headed back upstairs to his room to prepare for the day, even though it was only going to consist of playing some online game with two of his friends, jungkook and yugyeom. because they lived in busan and seoul, respectively, and minhyuk in gwangju, this was one of the many ways that they managed to keep in touch, other than liking one another's posts on social media.
the three of them wasted many hours screaming into their headsets, directing one another to a better place to accomplish their mission. it wasn't until nearly 3 in the afternoon and several rounds later that minhyuk remembered what he had been putting off, bidding his friends goodbye and logging out, storing his headset away for their next gaming session.
after his wooden desk was clear of clutter, he retrieved the stationery set that he had been saving for this occasion from his desk drawer, the soft taupe paper making the pink cherry blossom design on the bottom pop.
you see, minhyuk gained and lost feelings seemingly at the speed of light. his crushes were intense but fleeting, and the only proper way for him to get over them was to write letters.
so write he did.
he had penned down five letters over the past six months, sealed away in envelopes that were addressed to the people they were meant for - as if he would ever send them. the next one was for a boy named sohn hyunwoo, his next door neighbor and latest crush.
as with all the others, he began with a dear, tacking on hyunwoo's name at the end. he poured out all his feelings onto the front and back of two pages, sighing in relief as he finished the last sentence. he stowed away the letter in the designated envelope that was already addressed to hyunwoo. he sealed it, before it was hastily tossed into the shoebox in his closet where the others were, never to be seen again - or so he thought.
it wasn't long before he joined his mom in the living room, settling down with her to watch a movie. since his elder brother and younger sister were out on the town, that left him and his mother in peace.
did minhyuk take full advantage of this? hell yeah.
