Changlix ft Briwoon

As far as he was concerned, Changbin was simply not that much of a jerk. He's just pessimist about love and Seungmin was going to change that. Putting the details he collected about said guy, he opens up his magical blackberry. Seungmin tends to do all his cupids work at home. He'd rather not whip out the blackberry and be bombarded with questions about the ancient phone (I know its not really THAT old but to be fair it is OLD).

Name: Seo Changbin

Age: 17

Interest: Music, himself(?)

And Seungmin honestly doesn't know who would be a match with Changbin but somehow the sunshine in Minho's group of friend crossed his mind. Lee Felix, who is the same age as Seungmin and just radiates cheerful energy, which reminds him of Jisung when the squirrel-like boy was excited, which is more likely than not. Thinking about the consequences, Seungmin decided that it's best to try and make that emo-like boy learn a few things from the sunshine.

Name: Lee Felix

Age: 16

Interest: Dance

Soon Seungmin starts his work and hopes to god that at least by the end of the two weeks, Seo Changbin would learn a thing or two about love.

Seungmin's train of thoughts was interrupted by the sudden knock on the door. "Seungminie, dinner's ready," Woojin said, making way towards his brother. "What were you doing?"

"Nothing, I was just daydreaming," Seungmin answered. One of the rules of being cupid is that you can't reveal you're Cupid."So, who did you bring today?" Seungmin questions instead. "Oh, it's just a co-worker of mine, "Woojin answered

Seungmin smiled. Finally, someone who actually is decent. But as he walks down, a frown forms as he identifies the person in the dining room. It was Dowoon. Seungmin knew Dowoon and he knew that Dowoon still has lingering feelings towards Jisung's brother Younghyun who was currently studying in Canada.

It clearly shows that whatever that's happening between Woojin and Dowoon is either platonic or one-sided and it was leaning toward the one-sided bit and to be honest Seungmin felt sorry to both of them.

He knows it's not Dowoon's fault that he still has feelings towards Younghyun and he was certain that he misinterpreted Woojin's invitation for dinner was a friendly one instead of anything romantic because as Woojin's brother, he knew how bad his brother is with words.

As much as he could use his magic on both of them, he knew for sure that Dowoon loves Younghyun with his whole heart and doesn't want any damage to the genuine feelings. He just hopes that one-day Woojin would find his Dowoon who would love him wholeheartedly.

*~*

After dinner, he let the adults talk and as much as he hates making Woojin hopeful with how great Dowoon is getting along with his parents, Seungmin could only pray that Woojin doesn't ask him out tonight or any other night to be honest.

When he reached his room, he immediately video called both of his best friends and said "Code red."

"Who is it this time?" It's funny how Jisung is asking when Seungmin knows how much he's gonna freak out after this.

"It's Dowoon," Seungmin said, ready to brace whatever reaction he's gonna receive from both boys. Jisung's loud what was accompanied by Jeongin's dolphin scream and Seungmin was honestly done with both of them.

"I would appreciate it if you keep it down a bit. Thank you." Seungmin said, rolling his eyes at his dramatic friends but in all honesty, he would act like them too if he was in their shoe. "Wait. Is he like over my brother? Because if he is then I'm gonna need to cancel Younghyun's valentines gift for him." Jisung said.

"Younghyun prepared a valentines gift?" Jeongin asked, Seungmin just stared in disbelief. Why is Jeongin always stealing Seungmin's thoughts?

"Well, it's something like a thank you for waiting and sorry I made you wait for me kind of gift. Just a little something to remind Dowoon that Younghyun still thinks about him no matter where he is." Seungmin's heart wrenched at the thought. Being far away from the love of his life must be torture.

"Wait. You can't cancel yet. Woojin still hasn't asked him to be his boyfriend yet. And we all know how much Dowoon loves Younghyun." He could hear Jisung typing and he could feel his own heart beating fast. Of course, Jisung's gonna tell Younghyun but then Younghyun would be heartbroken.

"Seungmin, I know you're a romantic person but sometimes being deprived of love would cause you to search for someone else. If Dowoon was willing to meet your parents then he would definitely be willing to leave Younghyun." Jeongin said Seungmin could see Jisung nodding from the screen.

Swiftly, he took his magical blackberry and typed

Name: Yoon Dowoon

Age: 24

Interest: Drums

Then he works on Younghyun's profile

Name: Kang Younghyun

Age: 26

Interest: Guitar, Bass

After he sent the email to both of the said boys, he prays for the best and said goodbye to his friend when he was reminded of his main couple tomorrow.

When Seungmin arrived at school, there was already a commotion about how Seo Changbin had driven Felix to school and how Felix left his group to walk with Changbin. To be honest, he was quite satisfied seeing Changbin smiling to anything Felix was saying occasionally nodding at the younger, indicating he was listening.

What came as a surprise is Changbin coming up to him after literature asking for advice. "Why don't you write him a poem?" Seungmin had suggested but was refused severely by Changbin as cheesy and he didn't want to copy one of Jeongin's suitors. Which had made Seungmin flinch and say, "How about a Haiku, those are short and easy to write. Plus, it only requires three lines."

"Oh, that's actually a great idea. Thanks, Seungmin." All the while his matching skills grew, he also made a point to talk to each couple he matched which made him somewhat a love counselor at their school.

Seungmin felt the weight of his heart lifted as he saw Changbin shyly going towards a happily waving Felix. Maybe pairing both of them wasn't a mistake and was actually fate. Oh, how Seungmin wishes this would last after the spell wears off.
