STRAWBERRY BOY. (meanie)

𝐎𝐍𝐄.

wonwoo. a little. he was the most adorable little ever. everyone would want to adopt him. but he wouldn't want them. though he seems nice and innocent, he's usually stubborn and hates new people. the only person he would talk to was jeonghan, the owner of the little adoption center.

it was morning. the glaring sun was shining. every little had their own room. lucky enough, there only needed to be 8 rooms. and wonwoo hated sharing. the bed wonwoo had was red and his blanket was full of strawberries. well, not real ones of course.

wonwoo wasn't really a morning person, so waking him up was hard for jeonghan. everyday, jeonghan had to come in to somehow take wonwoo's bunny plush away from his tight grasp and wonwoo would have to follow him to get the plush back. so it was pretty much a winwin situation.

but today was exceptionally harder than most days. wonwoo wasn't cuddling his plush, due to it being taken by another little. he was honestly crying himself to sleep. there were very obvious dried tear stains on his cheeks. but with enough effort, jeonghan carried up the fragile little and sat him in a small red chair. there, jeonghan washed wonwoo's face with a warm face towel and brushed his teeth as well.

but as always, wonwoo was still mad that the little that took his plush, which was soonyoung. soonyoung was quite active and very loud. and of course, wonwoo hated people like that. but the thing he hated the most were people stealing his things. especially his heart, and it had been done many times. but soonyoung was in a lot of trouble.

right after wonwoo found his target, he pounced on the red haired little. soon wonwoo knew, he was in big trouble. soonyoung was crying, alerting jeonghan to go find him. once the caretaker found them, wonwoo was still on soonyoung hitting him in the arm. jeonghan quickly picked up the feisty little in his arms and rocked him gently.

"baby, take a nap. you've had a long day. but you'll be in trouble when you get up."

jeonghan slowly took the small boy to his room, lying him down on the bed. whilst tucking wonwoo in, jeonghan kissed the boy on the forehead. jeonghan had to punish him, he really didn't want to though.

just then, the caretaker heard the front door open. another customer! jeonghan quickly scattered over to the front desk and greeted the tall man.

"hi! are you here for a little?"                                         
"yes. may i take a look at them?"
"sure. please follow me. oh and, please be quiet, 3 of them are sleeping."

the taller man followed jeonghan, in the hallway where the room doors are closed, marked with all their names in order of first to last. jisoo, minghao, soonyoung, jihoon, seungkwan, hansol, wonwoo, and seokmin.

the only one that caught the customer's eye was a certain red door with a cute little strawberry on it. all the other doors had their own special things as well. for jisoo it was white with many leaves all over. for minghao, it was light pink with black ballet shoes. soonyoung had a blue one with a small red racecar. jihoon's was just white and plain. next to jihoon's was seungkwan who had a rainbow dotted one. then hansol with a sun painted onto it. seokmin had two green leaves. but wonwoo's the one that made the customer's stomach twirl.

"well, which one do you think is good? i mean you'll have to talk with them but.. who's name caught your eye the most?"
"wonwoo."

jeonghan looked shocked, and for some reason, he didn't know why. but he opened the red door, revealing a small wonwoo on the floor with markers. he was drawing red stripes on his wrist, weird. the tall man thought he had looked so beautiful and innocent. he was wearing an oversized pink sweater, showing his milky white skin.

"wonwoo, i know you don't like new people but someone is here and they might adopt you."

wonwoo just glanced at the man then jeonghan's leg. he wrapped his long, frail arms onto the leg and cried. the tears on his face were purple, due to some markers. the man picked up little wonwoo and brought him to his chest.

"shh.. it's ok wonwoo.."

and surprisingly, the fragile boy stopped and rested his head in the tall man's neck. jeonghan cooed at wonwoo's cute actions and patted his head.

"welp, my name's mingyu and i guess i can adopt him?"

"um, well.. when he feels better you'll have to ask him. he doesn't do well around new people but you've made him quite different."

mingyu nodded and rubbed circles gently onto the boy's back. he went into the room wonwoo had and laid him down on the bed. wonwoo was still whimpering but so far better than before. mingyu slowly put his hand on the small boy's face, his thumb slowly rubbing wonwoo's cheek.

and somehow, the small boy leaned onto the man's face, just inches apart. and what wonwoo did surprised jeonghan and mingyu. wonwoo placed his soft lips onto mingyu's, slowly laying down after. the knelt down tall man had his mouth open wide, in shock.

"y'know what? i don't know what's gotten into him. but thanks for calming him down, mingyu."

"mhm, you're welcome. well i know he isn't really himself right now so... why not i come back tomorrow and see what he thinks?"

"alright."

jeonghan smiled, slowly guiding the entrance to mingyu.

"thank you!"

while the two finished conversing and left wonwoo by himself, he touched his lips. he had never thought that man's would be so soft and sweet. he really felt like he was in heaven. but his thoughts couldn't last long when jeonghan came in, about to interrogate.

"wow, just wow.. you must like him, huh?"

but wonwoo never answered, he couldn't find the right words to say or neither did he have any voice to speak with. he was also in shock, his usual cold, quiet turned into loving and adorable. but now he knew that tomorrow he would forget everything, because that's just how he is. well, we'll see what happens.
