MINGYU SCENARIOS

Changed

Genre: Angst

Summary: You found him familiar but you brushed it aside. How could he turn into him? There was just no way a bully could turn into the adorable Mingyu who happened to be your Seventeen bias.

———-

"Are you excited?" My friend asked and you nodded your head multiple times. This was the first ever fan meeting that you've been to and simply the thought of meeting your bias, Mingyu, was just too much to handle. Honestly, Mingyu reminded you of a bully in your school when you were younger. You weren't the one that he picked on, but he always made it hard for everybody else. Standing up for your friends became a usual routine for you every day and it wasn't surprising if you lost all hope one day that he would ever change. Kim Mingyu. Even the name was exactly the same but you highly doubted it. It was in Middle School anyway and you couldn't really remember the bully's exact features anymore. Besides, the Kim Mingyu you knew then messed up people's hair while the Kim Mingyu you loved now, helped his members style their hair. Just thinking about all the videos you watched of Mingyu-shop made you laugh to yourself.

"What are you laughing at?" You heard someone ask and you replied in an instant.

"I just recalled Mingyu styling Seventeen's hair. He's just the cutest isn't he?"

"I am?" Your eyes widened in shock and you looked up to see Mingyu right in front of you.

"Oh my gosh we've reached the table already I didn't even know I'm unprepared are you kidding me why is Mingyu so near-"

"You're cute!" Mingyu laughed. You shut your mouth and slowly handed your album to him. Turning to the back of the album, Mingyu signed his signature as he asked you, "So, what's your name?" You put on your best smile and voice and answered.

"Chaeyoung." Mingyu nodded his head and wrote something below his signature.

"You seem familiar actually. Chaeyoung..." You froze. Familiar? Did he say that I seemed familiar? Could it be...

"Can you not hate me for asking this?" After asking that, Mingyu gave you a funny expression and you felt immense nervousness. But his warm smile afterwards made all your suspicions go away. How can he be the same, horrible guy as before?

"Ah nevermind."

"You sure? I'll answer you honestly you know?"

"O-okay then I just want to ask...which Middle School were you from?" You bit your lip, praying that you both would not have such a horrible past.

———-

"Kim Mingyu! When will you stop?" You knelt down beside a boy who was crying on the floor after being shoved hard by Mingyu.

"Why do you care?" He spat and you couldn't believe that someone 15 years old could be this mean.

"You must stop bullying people Mingyu!" Standing in between Mingyu and the boy, you refused to move until he apologised.

"Move Chaeyoung. I'm not done."

"No. I won't let you hurt him."

"I said move!" Mingyu threw you away and lifted his hand to punch the boy for telling on him to the teacher. Flinging yourself in front as fast as you could, you felt Mingyu's fist collide with your face and you fell to the ground.

"C-Chaeyoung..."

"When...will you stop Mingyu?"

———-

"I was from MDMS. Why?" You froze. MDMS. That was...that was your school.

"Please move on." Said a staff and you nodded your head. Slowly shifting from Mingyu to Seokmin, you mumbled as you started tearing up, "I can't believe you Mingyu." He heard this and he froze, forgetting totally that there was another fan in front of him and that he was supposed to do his job.

"C-Chaeyoung?" Turning to look at you, he saw your utterly disappointed face and he remembered all the times when you stopped him from hurting anyone and would eventually get hurt yourself. He remembered telling you that you were an annoying busybody at graduation day. Mingyu remembered all these and it pierced his heart.

On the other hand, you felt betrayed. Had you been liking a monster all this while? Had he really changed? You didn't know anymore, simply because you couldn't trust him.

———-

Walking back to your apartment, you took a look at the piece of paper which you prepared specially for Mingyu to sign on. Mingyu, the bully. Mingyu, your bias whom you loved. You felt so torn. Could you somehow just forget about him? After all, he wasn't worth your time. Although something in the back of your mind told you to forget everything and trust that he had really changed but you admitted it. It was hard to forgive someone who made you school days torture.

Looking at the paper with his beautiful signature on it, you remembered how he tore people's worksheets that they took so long to accomplish. You remembered how he scribbles on people's workbooks which they spent money buying. And here you were with his 'scribble', just that you wanted it and not him giving it to you by force.

"Chaeyoung!" Turning around, you saw Seventeen and you didn't know whether to feel excitement or dread because he was there.

Bowing, you said a quick 'hello' before turning back quickly to run away before you had to face Mingyu. However, someone held you. Knowing that it was Mingyu, fear overcame you because of the trauma last time and you pushed him away and stumbled a few steps back.

"Don't touch me." Fear was evident in your eyes and that pained him. He loved you so much and yet, all he did was make you feel scared.

"Chaeyoung I...I'm changed. Please. Believe me." The Seventeen members nodded their heads and you shook your head.

"I tried to have faith in you last time Mingyu but time and time again, all you did was get rougher."

"He's changed Chaeyoung. Because of you." Your eyes widened at Wonwoo's voice, full of confidence in Mingyu. That reminded you of the times when you defended Mingyu in front of your parents, insisting that he would change.

"Because of...me?"

"Because of you Chaeyoung. Let's just say that he felt really guilty. He betrayed your trust time and time again and he decided to change his character once and for all. Of course, we were there to help him." Seungcheol explained and you felt something warm in you like a wash of hope.

"Have you really Mingyu?" You said softly and he smiled. Walking up to you, he brought you into a hug.

"I knew it. I knew that there was good in you. I trusted you Mingyu." There was the Mingyu you always hoped to see. The good Mingyu. The kind Mingyu.

"It's all your doing Chaeyoung. Do you see what you can do to me?" He laughed.

"I'm glad you turned out for the better Mingyu. It's all I ever wished for."
