Seventeen Imagines

Mingyu: fake first date

*warning: this imagine is long (5k+ words)*

Mingyu is taking his first acting job very seriously. Even though he has no experience with love he is doing his best to be a method actor and be as genuine in his performance as possible. There's an episode in the script for his new show that involves him and the lead actress going on a date to an amusement park. Which he's never done, so he doesn't know how to act it out.

Or at least that was the excuse.

Which is why you and Mingyu are at an amusement park right now. But he's obviously wearing a disguise so that he's not recognized by anyone. Hes wearing a black ball cap, sunglasses and a black face mask. You're also wearing a black face mask but that's it since you're not famous but also trying not to be recognized by anyone since you're one of Seventeen's managers.

(But you didn't know the amusement park episode wasn't actually real and this was all just a plot to get you to go on a date with Mingyu. Throughout the day Mingyu pretended to look at the script on his phone whenever he came up with an idea. You had no idea and didn't catch on for a while.)

It took a lot of convincing but you ultimately gave in. Mingyu practically harassed you to go to the amusement park to help him with his method acting. When you told him to go with one of his friends like Joshua or Dokyeom he said it had to be you since you were a woman.

So that's why you're at an amusement park. Mingyu was much more excited to be there than you were, making you a little skeptical. But you looked at today as if it was a day off even though you're spending it with Mingyu. You never spend your days off with Mingyu even though your days off usually revolve around him anyways, but he didn't know that.

First thing on Mingyu's list for the "script" was to walk around and find a store that sold headbands and hats. Even though Mingyu had a black ball cap on he still chose to wear a headband with you. He wanted you to pick one out that you thought best suited him while he did the same. You found a floppy puppy ears headband that you thought matched him perfectly. They were the same color as his hair too.

Once you found a headband for Mingyu you went on a search for him. You spotted him right away, already standing in line at the checkout counter. You hid the headband behind you when you walked up to Mingyu. When you tapped his shoulder he turned around, revealing the headband he picked out for you.

You expected him to pick out something along the lines of bug antennas or a crab because you're so used to Mingyu teasing you. But to your amazement he was holding the same headband you were except in a lighter shade of brown. He put it on your head and you noticed his cheeks raise under his mask.

"Cute." Mingyu mumbled, causing you to blush behind your mask.

You slowly pulled the headband out from behind you and showed it to Mingyu. He looked surprised that you both chose the same style. Mingyu took off his ball cap, sliding it onto his wrist, and lowered his head for you to put the headband on him. This was the first time you ever touched Mingyu's hair and it was just as soft as you imagined it to be. You ruffled it a little bit to get the headband to blend in with his hair.

Unable to see it since Mingyu was wearing a mask, he was blushing at the fact that you were playing with his hair. Once you were finished you smiled behind your mask and also called him cute, making his heart flutter. Mingyu wanted to scream with how giddy he was feeling but had to hold it in and play it cool in front of you. You still weren't aware of his feelings for you and Mingyu wanted to keep it that way a little longer.

Mingyu paid for the headbands because "his character also pays for them in the script". But in actuality he just wanted to be the man that pays for everything on their date, like one usually does. After that the two of you sat down on a bench outside the shop and looked over the map of the park, planning out your day. Mingyu told you that today was for research but also wanted you to have fun.
