two minus one [seventeen mingyu]

two minus one

l/n y/n used to be kim mingyu's high school classmate and rival. they were often praised and compared for their academic capabilities, always assigned in different groups in activites because teachers claimed:

"together, they don't even have to try."

y/n used to have a crush on mingyu back in the day. he was the grade-conscious male teenager instead of the hormonal ones. the guy didn't look ugly, too.

she never confessed or told anyone about her then feelings, and is glad she never did, because kim mingyu's now known all over the world. her friends will never fail to bring it up if they knew.

and, to be honest, she just decided to keep it to herself for as long as high school because of the mantra

"he'll just reject me anyway."

what she didn't know...
mingyu wouldn't have rejected her then because he had a crush on her, too.

𓈈

now, kim mingyu's a part of the famous kpop group called SEVENTEEN, and y/n's a well-known event and interior designer who has been constantly hired by a-list celebrities.

both successful, as the people around them expected them to be, but not together.
