Love Strikes Twice

Persistent

Jeonghan and Seungcheol were excited about visiting potential wedding venues. They had decided on a few  locations and invited Mingyu to join them, partly to keep them company and partly to get his input on the venues. Mingyu, of course, was more than happy to come along, knowing that Wonwoo would be there as well.

The first venue was a charming garden with blooming flowers and a beautiful gazebo. Jeonghan and Seungcheol walked around, envisioning their big day, while Mingyu took the opportunity to sidle up to Wonwoo.

"Nice place, huh?" Mingyu said, trying to strike up a conversation.

Wonwoo nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "It's alright."

Mingyu grinned. "I can already see you standing here, looking all dapper in your suit."

Wonwoo shot him a sideways glance. "I'm not the one getting married."

Mingyu shrugged. "Maybe not yet, but who knows? Weddings have a way of inspiring people."

Wonwoo sighed, walking a bit faster to catch up with Jeonghan and Seungcheol, but Mingyu easily matched his pace.

At the next venue, a rustic barn with fairy lights and wooden decor, Jeonghan and Seungcheol discussed the logistics with the venue coordinator. Meanwhile, Mingyu saw another chance to engage with Wonwoo.

"Imagine a wedding here at night," Mingyu said, looking around. "With all these lights, it would look magical."

Wonwoo remained unimpressed. "I guess."

Mingyu, not deterred, continued. "You know, I bet you'd look amazing under these lights."

Wonwoo stopped walking and turned to face Mingyu, his irritation clear. "Do you ever stop talking?"

Mingyu put his hands up in mock surrender. "Just trying to make conversation. You're a tough nut to crack, you know that?"

Wonwoo rolled his eyes and walked away, leaving Mingyu standing there.

At the final venue, a classic ballroom with elegant chandeliers and large windows, Jeonghan and Seungcheol seemed enchanted by the place. They discussed potential seating arrangements and decorations while Mingyu tried once more to engage Wonwoo.

"Do you dance?" Mingyu asked, leaning against one of the ornate pillars.

Wonwoo glanced at him. "Not really."

Mingyu smiled. "Maybe you just haven't found the right partner yet."

Wonwoo exhaled sharply, shaking his head and walked away.

The day ended with Jeonghan and Seungcheol feeling satisfied with their venue options, but Mingyu couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened by Wonwoo's clear irritation. As they left the final venue, he walked a little behind the group, wondering how he could get Wonwoo to see past his persistence.

In the car ride home, Seungcheol leaned over to Jeonghan and whispered, "I think Mingyu’s really into your brother."

Jeonghan chuckled. "Yeah, I noticed. Let's just hope Wonwoo doesn’t kill him before the wedding."
