Seventeen One Shots

Man(THE8)

Minghao took a sip of the bitter coffee, he whimpered at he hot temperature.

"Heol," You scoffed while scanning at the pages of your report. Double checking is always important. "Blow it for me," Minghao said and pushed the cup to you. You laughed.

"Minghao-a, it's not even hot," You said to him. He pouted. "Can you at least blow it?" He pleaded in a puppy-voice. You rolled your eyes. You placed the cup to the brim of your lips and and started to blow little puffs of air.

"Nice," He observed. You immediately stopped blowing and glared at him. "What?" Minghao shrugged, pretending to be innocent.

"You don't have to work so hard being a man," You smiled to him. Minghao blushed. "I-I'm not."

"Liar, you sneak out at night and go drink wine, although you can't stand it at all. Then in the morning, you pretended you had work, which you didn't and go straight to the gym. Then you've been saying stuff like 'it's a man's job to help his girlfriend', am I right?" You asked, looking straight at the eye. Minghao took a big gulp of coffee and mumbled, "Yes."

"I want you to stop it, if its for fun, then maybe I'll let you, except going to the club. But if its just for you to be a man,then don't," You folded your arms.

"Then.....what do you think about me?" Minghao asked. "Of course I think of you as a man, what else?" You replied. Minghao groaned.

"But I'm weaker than you," He said. You stood up from your chair. The dazed boy looked at you. "What do you think makes a man?" You asked.

"Strength, strong will, and guts," Minghao answered proudly. You wanted to throw the coffee to his face, but decided that it was too cruel, you just stomped outside.

You walked with a blurry vision back towards your house.

'He didn't even mention love' You thought. Having a boyfriend as hard-headed as he, it would be useless to lecture him.

Playing jealousy would also be a big conflict, you were stuck between no options.

You locked the door and went to write your diary.

'Dear Diary, what makes a real man? I've always thought that girls have different definition of manly. Don't you think the childish Minghao is always already manly? He's gentle and sweet, before he turned into having such an obsession of being a man'

You stopped writing and closed your diary, just as things couldn't get any worse, you got  a papercut.

"Ouch," You cursed. The blood ran down from your fingers.

After fixing the cut, you slumped on the bed. "Just come here, Minghao, I'll show you what a man means," You cried.

"____! Let me in! I want to see you," Minghao knocked the door. You opened the doorknob and was attacked by a tight squeeze.

"I shouldn't have done that," Minghao said, still squeezing you. "Okay, okay, that's enough showing of your strength" You panted while patting Minghao's shoulders.

Minghao slumped himself on the wall and sat there, crouching.

"Minghao? I said its okay," You smiled at him. "One problem is solved, but the other isn't," Minghao breathed heavily.

"What happened?" You asked. "My dad....told me to come back to China," Minghao ruffled his hair. "You have to?" You asked. Minghao nodded, tears formed under his eyes.

"Should I go with you? I-I could start packing," You desperately asked. Minghao gripped your hand, tightly.

"I-I don't want to go back to China, a man should keep his promise....right?" Minghao asked. His face burried under his folded hands.

Yes, Minghao made a promise to stay with you forever, until you get sick of him.

"If your father.....somehow hurted you?" You asked. "He won't, he's not abusive, don't worry, I'll try begging to him," Minghao smiled, comforting you.

"Promise?" You cried, drop-dead worried about him. Minghao raised his pinky finger and intertwined it with yours.

"Promise," He gently smiled. You helped him get up.

"Now that's a man," you softly said. Minghao's ears became red in embarrassment.

"Stop teasing me," He pouted. "Okay, okay, but I'll tell you a secret," You grinned. "Tell me," Minghao said.

"Kind, sweet, and lots of love," You gave him a clue. He looked at you dumbly. He tilted his head, "Huh?" He asked.

You gave a big smile. "Figure it out, a man shouldn't give up easily," You said.

Minghao got the message.

"Kindness...," He smiled.  He picked you up bridal style and safely put you down on the chair. He took out a pie and sliced it, then he fed you.

"Kindness, check," He smirked. You gulped the pie and pinched his cheeks.

"What's next on the list young man?" You asked. "Hmm? Spiciness can be defeated by sweetness right? Wanna try it out?" Minghao asked. He started kissing you and didn't take a little time to do it.

"By the way, it's a package, 2 in 1," He said.

That's true, by just a simple kiss, he could show you his sweetness and his love.

Minghao's phone rang, breaking the kiss.

He quickly picked it up, his smile brightened every second by the words over the phone.

"Such a lucky girl," Minghao said and closed his phone. You were sure he had good news.

"Let's continue bragging how 'man' I am," Minghao said. You pushed him. Minghao rolled his eyes.

"Okay, father said I can stay," He smiled and kissed your lips.

You continued the kissing until you pulled his ears and whispered, "But you'll always be my baby."
