I'm a fairy!

I’m glad he found that person in you, Minhyunnie.

Suddenly tears welled in his eyes and before he could stop them they were falling down his face. He felt so much weight leave his shoulders, he felt so relieved because of a simple statement.

But to Minhyun it wasn’t just a simple statement, it was something he needed to hear from the older since day one. Even in his drunken state when he confessed to him about kissing his best friend he just wanted his acceptance. He wanted the older to support them in their decision. He wanted Sungwoon, the best friend of the man he loves, to believe that he was good for him.

“I…he..he makes me so so..happy hyung. I’m..I’m so thankful for him.” he somehow manages to speak between his broken sobs and gasps for air. He loved Roh Taehyun with his entire being.

It’s kind of cute that the younger cries, because he knows what he said held a lot of weight. Sungwoon was apprehensive in the beginning and nearly shot the kid because of it. Now he’s glad it didn’t get to that point.

Sungwoon always had some form of a softness for Minhyun, even if he hadn’t been there for very long. They both had dark pasts, and both still had some form of trouble with them. Minhyun was really the only person who knew a lot about Sungwoon, beside Jisung, and of course Taehyun who also lived it.

He smiles at the older’s words. It was one thing for Taehyun to tell him that he deserved him but to have someone outside of…whatever they were to tell him they deserved each other was nice.

“I…thank you hyung. I really am happy with him a-and I like to believe he’s happy too, he seems happy.” He smiles fondly at the thought of the older and how he possibly made him happy.

“He’s been so bright hyung. I mean he’s always seemed like a bright person in general but he’s laughing and smiling even more. And the way his eyes turn into crescents when he’s grinning, ugh it’s just so beautiful. He’s so beautiful and I-” he cuts himself off immediately realizing that he was kind of preaching to the choir by cooing about the older’s best friend to him.

“S-Sorry I got a little carried away.” He offered a sheepish apologetic smile to the older.

Sungwoon rests against the island now, having finished his ramen while Minhyun was going off. He even took the opportunity to cover the pot on the stove to keep it warm so he could get Ong’s bowl later.

He wears a soft smile on his face, happily listening to the younger coo about his best friend. “You know..I’ve wanted this for him for years.” He doesn’t realize he’d said that out loud. “Someone to love him unconditionally and be able to give him the world? I’m glad he found that person in you, Minhyunnie. I..don’t think I would’ve accepted anyone else, even if I was apprehensive to begin with. I’m sorry for that...Even now..”

His smile gets wider. “All you said is true. When you get close to him, he really is a bright person. It faded for a few years..but I’m glad to see him back like that. I was starting to miss it.”

He saw right through him and suddenly his entire facade crashed around him. His face and ears were a bright red as the other bluntly expressed his knowledge. He immediately moved his hands to cover his face a low groan escaping him.

Hearing the other’s apprehensiveness of approaching him on the subject. He felt bad that the older felt the need to immediately indirectly apologize in fear of one of them getting upset.

Finally he composes himself enough to uncover his face, but his gaze remained on his hands in his lap as he spoke. It was embarrassing to talk about this but the older was genuinely looking out for them. And again Minhyun had started the entire conversation.

“Okay! We did. He was working and I had come in early because I finished up what I needed to do here for the day. He was busy so we couldn’t really talk so I just kinda watched him work and hyung I’m sorry but holy fuck he’s the hottest thing when he works. He got flustered when I was watching him and it turned into back and forth teasing which escalated then he asked me to come home with him and…yeah.”

Sungwoon watches him, a slight smile on his face. It’s cute when he gets nervous. Especially knowing his best friend has that kind of power over the dongsaeng who wore a mask for so long and didn’t show emotions much.

He’ll need to thank Taehyun for that. He prefers bubbly and warm Minhyun.

‘Hyung I’m sorry but he’s the hottest thing when he works’ hits him. And it hits him hard. Sungwoon once had feelings for him. He knows how fucking hot Taehyun is. But again, he won’t let the younger know of this. It’s best kept a secret.

Then again, the same statement could reflect back onto Ong. When he’s dressed up and his hair is done, Sungwoon can’t help but feel weak. Just his looks alone are killer, but so is his demeanor and his work ethic. Sungwoon feels his breath hitch before he’s back to normal.

How far have you two gone?

He was fucked. In this moment he was figuratively fucked, all because he and Taehyun literally fucked. How the hell was he going to get himself out of this one? There was no way he could just bluntly tell the older that a playful conversation got too heated and suddenly Taehyun was asking to take him home.

Minhyun plays it cool, despite his heart pounding in his chest. He just continues to smile at the older, leaning back to sit properly on the stool. His hands fall to rest on his lap, gently thrumming his fingers against his thighs.

“Nothing serious hyung. Just a few heated make out sessions when he was closing that’s all~” he did his best to hold his composure. Though a slight heat was rising to his face at the thought of how far the two had actually gone. Suddenly the marks that littered his neck, hidden carefully under a collared shirt, felt really warm.

Sungwoon’s eyes narrow on the younger, seeing through his lies immediately. He knows how Taehyun is. He’s also slept with him before, but the younger doesn’t need to know that.

“Nope. I can tell by how you’re acting, Minhyunnie~ You fucked, didn’t you? I won’t judge. Promise.” He smiles softly, before getting serious.

Minhyun beamed at his response, he got all the information he needed out of that simple confession. He’d use this information wisely.

“Need I remind you, we aren’t dating…officially anyway.” He gnaws at his lip a moment before quickly regaining his normal train of thought. Those thoughts were for when he was alone and able to think things through in silence. “But he’s doing good…great actually.”

Round two.

“Now hyung you said you took time to relax with someone you cared about, which we both know is Ong. So what did you two do hm?~”

Sungwoon rolls his eyes at the beaming. What a kid. 

“Yeah, but you’re together. And very obviously both in love with one another. And you’re both boys who are dating; so boyfriends.” He’s the one grinning now, finding a little bit of enjoyment in this. “Good to hear. Tell him we still need a best friend’s day. It seems he’s forgotten.”

The younger asks another question and his cheeks redden slightly. “You know..stuff that butlers do. He brought me tea, we talked, he kept me company. Nothing scandalous.” ‘He walked in and saw me shirtless’, sits on his tongue."

“Nuh uh uh hyung. You want more information I get to know some information of my own. 1 for 1.” He pauses for a moment, tilting his head cutely allowing his bangs to fall across his forehead.

“And don’t think you can dance around this with some random fact. I’ll ask you one question and you’ll answer it if not I’ll just confront Ong, I know he’s a big mouth. So Sungwoon hyung, what are your feelings for Ong?”

Sungwoon won’t fall for that. His cutesy act does nothing to him. Minhyun tried this for years when Sungwoon mentioned he was taking applicants for ‘favorite dongsaeng’. Much to his disappointment, Minhyun didn’t win.

His eyes narrowed dangerously at the older. Oh we’re pulling that card are we Sungwoon? Fine then he’d play along if only to get the other talking.

“Fine. Fine! I love Roh Taehyun. You happy with that response hyung?” He pushes his bowl aside and leans forward onto the island. “You’re turn Sungwoonie hyung. I think you have something you need to admit.”

“That’s better~ He’d be so upset otherwise.” His grin doesn’t fall, and he tries to keep his calm composure.

“Fine, I’ll admit it then. I really like Taehyunie hyung. Now why don’t you admit something too Sungwoon hyung~” He leaned back away from the bowl a cocky smirk now on his lips.

He couldn’t poke his buttons if Minhyun was being honest with the other. Which meant the older couldn’t make him flustered. Your move Ha Sungwoon, your move.

“Oh no. Oh no no no. Really like is a grave understatement, Hwang Minhyun. I bet only hearing really like would crush him.” His eyes roll a little as he turns to look at him, leaning against the counter and taking a bite of his own noodles.

Heat immediately rose up the other’s neck to his face at the other’s remark. How dare he bring up Taehyun when the conversation was clearly at his adoration of Ong. Even more, how dare he bring up Taehyun when he was setting food in front of him and Minhyun couldn’t bring himself to flee from the scene.

“Y-Ya! This isn’t about me hyung!” He glared at him sharply but still ate his noodles before muttering. “Plus I wasn’t even that obvious.”

His grin didn’t fade, finding enjoyment in the younger’s suffering. You gonna play this game, huh? Well he’ll win. He knew playing the Taehyun card would get to him. It always does. 

How dare he threaten to take the food away from him. The older was the one who offered to cook in the first place.

Minhyun crossed his arms over his chest with a small huff, his lower lip sticking out in a pout. Fine, the older won this time, but only for the sake of eating food he didn’t have to cook.

“Fine. Fine I’ll shut up. But I’m not the one making it obvious.” He mutters the last part, he really just couldn’t stop himself from picking at the older.

Sungwoon sticks his tongue out again, feeling victorious. He looks down at the pot; ramen thankfully didn’t take too long to make, even out of the package. He grabs three bowls, setting two closer to him and one further away. He’d set that one up after Minhyun’s and his own.

His smile only grew more as Sungwoon became a bright shade of red. He raised his arm to rest his head on his hand. The older was glaring at him and yet his voice was cracking.

“I know you two have always been close but it seems like it’s been even more so lately. Your voice crack is also telling me that there’s something more than how it usually is~”

He’s tempted to throw something at him and instead take the food to Jisung or Ong. They weren’t mocking him. And Ong deserved the food more than Minhyun right now. He was being picked on, too, technically.

Minhyun rested his arms on the island, leaning forward to lay his head on his arms. He watched the other as he began gathering ingredients, was the older making ramen? Of course he was, why was he even surprised? He wished he would’ve let him help they could’ve made something more filling.

He lets it go though, the other wanted to do it on his own as a thank you so he should be thankful. So he simply takes in his words and how fond they sounded. Minhyun probably sounded like that when he talked about Taehyun.

He decided he would amuse himself and tease the older, he’d have fun with this.

“You know Sungwoonie hyung you and Ong seem really close.” He knows he’s playing a dangerous game especially since Sungwoon and Taehyun were best friends but he liked playing dangerous games, it was fun.

The younger’s teasing hits him, turning slightly so he can glare at him. Really? Him and Taehyun are starting to pick up each other’s personality it seems. They mesh too well. 

Ong and Sungwoon will tease them when th--

He walked with the older down to the kitchen, plopping himself down on one of the stools at the island. Minhyun knew full well why Sungwoon was suddenly flustered and insisting he’d come to the younger for further medical attention. He wasn’t stupid he could put 2 and 2 together. It was cute.

“Aww hyung I’m sure Ong would be happy to help you if you asked him. You know it’d help feed his ego too. I can hear him now ‘Minhyunnie Sungwoon let me change his bandages aren’t I the best~’” Minhyun laughed at his own impersonation of the butler, he thought it was spot on.

Sungwoon had recently become so shy at the mention of the younger, and it’s because of how fond he is. The two had spent a lot of time around each other over the last few months, especially when Sungwoon was actually home. Ong could make him laugh so easily and he felt so comfortable around him. It was nice.

He chuckled softly at the older’s persistence, simply nodding. “Alright. Alright I got it. I won’t even help even if I want to.” His smile turns into a full on grin when he looks at the older.

He finishes quickly and double checks it before bending down to pick up the discarded sweater. He figured it’d hurt for the older to do it. He hands it to him and moves on to throwing away the dirty bandages.

“Good to go hyung. Be sure to let me know if you ever need them changed again and Ong isn’t around.”

“I won’t let you help even if you want to.” He sticks his tongue out at him, falling into chuckles after. He likes teasing him. It means things are alright between them.

He gingerly takes the sweater, carefully pulling it over. Ah, nice and warm again. That’s how it should always be. Sungwoon doesn’t particularly like the cold. His cheeks color at the other’s statement.

He nodded and gestured for the older to wait a moment before walking off to grab the bandages from the first aid kit. He quickly returned and gestured for the other to strip himself of his shirt.

Minhyun then makes quick work of removing the bandages on his torso, being as gentle as he could. “Sorry if it hurts hyung.” he offers a small smile to the older as he begins wrapping the fresh bandages around him.

Minhyun walks off and he’s left alone. He plays with his sweater for a few moments until he returns, stripping off the sweater like he was instructed. It’s cold suddenly. Ew.

Sungwoon gives a slight hiss, definitely feeling pain. “Y-yeah. It does hurt. More than I thought taking off bandages would.” He laughs nervously, letting the younger get to work. 

He noted the way the older became flustered at the mention of someone he cares about. It was cute seeing Sungwoon blush and become shy, it was different. 

I won’t stop my family from helping.

That statement alone made all the worry the younger had wash away. They’d be fine, no fighting. A small smile spread across his lips, he was glad the other was opening up to the idea.

“It’ll be difficult to properly redo them by yourself so if you’ll let me I’ll do it.”

It’s not just someone he cares about, it’s someone he can find himself falling in love with with enough time.. He makes him incredibly happy and he can tell he genuinely cares about him. After everything..he needs that. He notes how his heart rate seems to pick up.

“I know. I know. I just…needed to clear my head. I shouldn’t have left you after I was done that was insensitive of me.” He gnaws at his lip a moment before looking up at the older.

“By the way, how is it? Does it still hurt a lot? Have you been putting fresh bandages on?” And suddenly he was back into mother hen mode. It wasn’t anything new for a him, he often got like this with the kids, but it was a first when it came to the older. But he did genuinely care how he was feeling, it was a nasty wound.

“I..also needed to, honestly. I took some time with someone I care about and it helped.” His cheeks color a bit at the mere mention of Ong, playing cutely with the sleeves of his sweater. He was dressed down and it was nice. He needed breaks here and there. And today is one. “But it happened, and that’s okay. We’ll talk now.” He gives him a genuine smile.
