âgyu, i swear to god if you get drunk iâm not carrying you back to your hotel.â
mingyu laughs, loud and unrestrained, his head thrown back and his eyes screwed shut, and it hits you just how much you missed the sound. or really, just how much you missed him. you tilt your head to the side, a small smile creeping up the corners of your mouth as you take a sip of your drink.
âit wouldnât be the first time.â he speaks through his chuckles, shaking his head, and his eyes meet yours. for a moment, you have the same thought, and heâs the one to actually say it out loud. âthis is nice.â
and it really is.
there was once a time when you couldnât even imagine being in the same room as him, just the two of you, laughing like there hadnât been years of shared history between the two of you. for a second, a memory flashes across your mind; the feeling of his arm slung across your shoulders, his alcohol laced breath mixing in with his cologne, muttering a drunken string of words that you couldnât quite make out.  Â
and you look at the mingyu in front of you, cheeks flushed and a look of complete contentment now settled on his features.Â
âcrazy how life just,â you pause, and eventually sigh out- âworks out, huh?â
under the pale moonlight, in a city both of you are relatively unfamiliar with, mingyu has never felt closer to you than he does now. strangely enough, it all feels right. he nods, âcrazy. everything that happened had to have happened.â
a silence settles between the two of you, but not tense nor uncomfortable, as memories of the last couple of years, and eventually the last couple of months, fill both your senses. mingyu scans your face, noting for any signs of unease from being with him.
mingyu finds none, which makes him let out a breath of relief.
cutting through the silence, you ask a question youâve been meaning to ask him for a while.Â
âare you happy, gyu?â
you didnât mean for the question to be so loaded but, in a way, you only knew so much. you saw him every now and then, when he came to visit you, jeonghan, vernon, and soonyoung for a couple of days. you saw his instagram stories and twitter posts, travelling around the world, meeting new people, walking runways, booking several editorials.
âi am.â he lets out a breath and you see the tension in his shoulders fall, looking up to the clear night sky then back at you. âgod it feels good to finally say that out loud, and actually mean it. you know?â
you blink back at him for a couple of seconds, it seemed like it was something he was just acknowledging himself, but a smile spreads across your face. âiâm so happy for you.â
and you mean it, with every fiber of your being.
just like that, you notice how much he has changed since your college days. gone is the tense, hesitant mingyu that you had once come to know. the one that lied on the other side of your bed in your apartment in new york, the one with the permanent crease between his brows. you see him now, calm and confident, and secure in himself. you had caught glimpses of it before, but now it radiates through him, engulfing you in his light.
âyou seeing someone?â the words tumble out of your lips before you couldnât even process them. curiosity got the better of you, and before you could take it back he simply shakes his head.
âah no, i go on dates sometimes, but nothing that ever really lasted.â
you nod, and mingyu continues.
âand thatâs okay, you know? iâve just been doing eyes, heart, and arms wide open. being honest with myself and what it really is what i want, whether itâs in my professional or personal life. if things donât work out, at least i can say i did my best. it took a while for it to feel sincere, and not like iâm just forcing myself to do it for the sake of it, but iâm happy with myself.âÂ
his voice grows softer as he ends his little ramble, and you part your lips to tell him that youâre proud of him, but he beats you to the punch.
âyou taught me that, you know?â he smiles, âi mean, if we hadnât gone through what we did- not like iâm saying that you were in my life just for a lesson because i really do value you as a friend, and as a person-â
âno, i- i get it, gyu.â you cut off his rambling with a quiet laugh, noticing his eyes become bigger and more panicked.Â
he lets out an exaggerated breath of relief and holds a hand over his heart. âwhat about you, yn? are you happy?âÂ
your mind briefly flashes to reuniting with your maple drive friends, to the friends youâve made at work, being able to see jeonghan, soonyoung, and hansol more often, to the shoots youâve done and the work youâve accomplished.
from all the stress youâve gone through from moving so far away from home, from struggling to book shoots when you were freelancing after graduated, to where you are now.
a wave of peace washes over you, and you think of tea in the mornings and farmerâs market runs in the afternoon and impromptu shoots at night.Â
mingyu didnât near to hear your answer, he simply just knew.
he silently raises his glass and you do the same, clinking them together and downing the rest of your drinks.Â
âcontinue to live well, yn.â he says gently, sincerely, looking right into your eyes so you knew he meant every word.Â
you reach out a hand across the table rest your hand atop mingyuâs, âyou too.âÂ
he glances at his watch and notices the time, âi should get you back to jihoon, he was already hesitant to let you go with me since youâve got an early flight tomorrow.â
mingyu settles the tab, ignoring your insistence to pay your share, and you walk back towards your hotel. your shoulder brushes against his, and it doesnât make his heart flutter in the way it used to. it simply reminds him that youâre still there, walking next to him, and for all his shortcomings, you were still in his life.Â
if anything, he was simply just grateful.
even more so when you wrap your arms around him before entering the elevator, hugging him tighter as you whispered, âiâll see you soon.â
mingyuâs lips stretch into a grin as he waves goodbye and the elevator doors close, âiâll see you soon.âÂ
from reese, with love <3
oh yngyu.... ngl i choked up a lil writing that "i'll see you soon" aaaah they are so dear to me. at first i didn't know if i wanted to give gyu the seokmin treatment and give him a potential new partner, but if there's something i want you guys to takeaway from this, it's that romantic love isn't the be all-end all. if you happen to find it, wonderful! bec romantic love is a wonderful thing! but finding love within yourself, the company you keep, and the work you do is just as wonderful- and i'm glad this version of mingyu gets to have that :)
thank you for reading! asks/rbs/replies are always appreciated, i'd love to know what you think <3 hope you're all doing well!

act three, part fifteen (2/2) wc : 1k
act three : the unexpected love  â€Â part 15 : infinite mornings
after years studying and working abroad, yn is finally back home to a new job and new faces. all they want now is to focus on nothing else but their career and one of their coworkerâs friends, minghao, makes it all the more interesting.Â
previous  † act three, part fifteen (1/2)
next  † act three, part sixteen
growing pains † masterlistÂ
you have to stop yourself from running your fingers through his hair. it falls just past his brows, and the salty sea breeze covers your arms in goosebumps.
or perhaps itâs just because you could feel his knuckles brushing against your skin.
minghao has to stop himself from reaching out and grabbing your hand. he knows it would feel warm against his, a welcome reprieve from the cold morning air.Â
but he settles on keeping his hands stuffed in the pockets of his pants.
thereâs a silence that envelops the two of you, and heâs waiting for you to say whatever it was you wanted to say. thereâs a million thoughts thatâs racing through his mind. while he cherishes each moment he spent with you, he canât help but wonder what made you want to move this little bit trip up so fast. and on such short notice too.
you notice the small furrow between his brows. âwhat are you thinking about?â
âwhatever it is youâre thinking about.âÂ
his voice is calm, collected, and for some reason it sets a fluttery feeling in the pit of your stomach. it felt silly, really, having a little crush. if you could even call it that. youâre no longer a teenager, noticing that your closest childhood friend has been growing cuter and cuter over the years. youâre no longer a college student or in your early twenties holding on to a relationship that isnât officially one. Â
this was an entirely different thing. youâre both well into your twenties. heâs a respected figure in your industry, and youâd like to think that you were on your way to becoming one too. if this new opportunity goes the way you hope it does.  Â
the two of you sit on a couple of rocks by the shore, knees and shoulders brushing. itâs quite uncomfortable, but neither of you shift in position.Â
âminghao, can i be honest?â
âwith me? always, yn.â he looks at you, and he doesnât ask what made you wonder that, he just waits for you to continue.
âiâm terrified, hao.âÂ
minghao pushes past his initial apprehension and reaches out to place his hand on top of yours, urging you to tell him more. if you were going to be brave enough to tell him whatâs bothering you, he was going to be brave enough to let you know that he stands by you through it. even in the simplest gesture that he could think of.
you take a deep breath and let it all out. jihoon going on tour, and the multiple photoshoots that seungcheol has booked for you along the way â with publications and people that you thought you would only dream of ever working with.Â
âand i wonder-â you pause, and minghao squeezes your hand. âwhat if iâm not cut out for this? seungcheol and ji are placing so much trust in me and i donât know if i can live up to that! iâm not you-â
âyouâre going to do great.âÂ
minghao cuts you off, and the certainty in his words takes you aback. you blink and let out a breath. âhow do you know?â
âyouâre not me.âÂ
minghao lets go of your hand and you try not to feel disappointed at the loss of contact. you still do, but the disappointment disappears when he places his hands on your shoulders to look you in the eyes. your heart threatens to beat out of your chest.
âyouâre you, yn. youâre creative in ways that iâm not, free and dynamic and youâre going to do wonderful because you are. youâre not me, and iâm not you. just because your strengths are different from mine doesnât mean youâre less than me.âÂ
you manage a smile, and he offers you a smile back.
âyou might actually just be better than me.â
you roll your eyes and shrug his hands off your shoulders, still trying to quell the beating of your heart. âwell now youâre pushing it.â
minghao chuckles, low and soft. âiâm more worried about who iâm going to be making tea for.â
âiâm sure youâll live.â you shake your head, the weight in your chest slowly starting to disappear. the worry is still there, but minghaoâs words offer you a sense of comfort. Â
minghao holds a hand over his heart, pretending like he had just been shot. he smiles wider when you laugh. âyou underestimate my need to make you tea in the morning.â
âwell, infinite mornings.âÂ
you echo what he had once said to you and minghao hopes you donât notice the heat rising to his cheeks. he holds on to the bravery and confidence he had earlier, âthat only works if you come back to me.â
âwill you be waiting?â you laugh, tilting your head up to the pale blue sky and hoping he doesnât notice the slight shake in your voice. if he doesnât answer, you could chalk it up to just a joke. but still you hold your breath.
he nudges your shoulder with his, making you look back at him. âwith tea and a smile.âÂ
the air stills and you let out an exhale. youâre not too sure what to say, before you could even think of the right words, minghaoâs voice once again falls on your ears.Â
âdo your best, like i know you will. just shine.âÂ
you think of all the words of wisdom and comfort heâs said to you, the advice heâs given, the several impromptu photoshoots with him, âi will, for you.â
ânot for me.â minghao shakes his head. âfor you.â
you nod, and you take out your phone to confirm to seungcheol that youâll be going. minghao listens to your call with a proud smile, a slight sting in his heart knowing how much heâd miss you.Â
then again, infinite mornings.Â
he just hopes you hold up to your end of the bargain, because he definitely will.
from reese, with love
there aren't enough words to describe how much i missed ynhao, writing in general, and being on here. thank you so much for reading this, i can't make any promises right now but i missed this. i'd really love to know what you think, hope you're doing well and taking care!
