our story
mingi sat on his bed, his hair in its natural state, flat against his head, and his tanned face rid of makeup, his acne scars gracing his features. a pair of prescription glasses sat on the bridge of his nose and the black t-shirt made him look very appealing to the eye.
a man sat next to him, his stature small next to the 6' model. he looked equally as breathtaking as mingi, and his scarred skin only made him more beautiful.
mingi smiled at his boyfriend, fixing his hair and holding his hand with the other. "ready?" he only moved when his man nodded his head; turning the camera on and getting himself comfortable next to his lover.
"hello. today is a more serious topic, and i haven't bothered to doll myself up or anything like that, only because this is what i look like normally," mingi paused, feeling his boyfriend rub his hand with the pad of his thumb, "as most of you know, i do have a boyfriend, and this is him." mingi held both of their hands up and smiled lightly.
"the purpose of this video is to introduce him and also tell our story, so from now on i'll let him introduce himself." mingi trailed off, letting y/n get comfortable before he spoke.
y/n looked at his and mingi's hands before looking at the camera. "hi, my name is nakamura y/n. i was born in japan, but i was adopted by a korean couple when i was a baby. i am japanese and (your ethnicity)." he awkwardly spoke, not knowing how to introduce himself to an audience he couldn't see.
however, mingi just nodded along, encouraging him. "how old are you, how'd we meet, things like that." y/n nodded, his shoulders un-tensing as mingi squeezed his smaller hand.
"i'm 23, so i'm 3 years older than mingi. um, we met because our parents are close. my mom went to the same high school as his mom and remained friends after."
mingi watched him speak, a smile on his face and his eyes crinkled. y/n turned his head, his eyes meeting mingi's bright smile.
he nodded his head, signaling he was done talking. mingi scrunched his nose, leaning in and pressing his nose against y/n's cheek, his lips puckering against the soft flesh.
"we've been dating for 4 years, and, uh, yeah. so at first, our parents weren't that supportive, with him being practically an adult and me a teenager, but they got around to it at least knowing we'd be good to each other, and they know our personalities." mingi explained, jerking his hair out his face and running his fingertips along the pimple patch on his cheek.
"some facts about y/n..." mingi led on, letting y/n speak for himself.
"i came back from overseas about 3 months ago. i'm a field medic for the korean military, and i was deployed with some of the troops to afghanistan with the american military. i was diagnosed with mild ptsd not too long ago." y/n explained his situation, mingi nodding along, his face becoming red due to him holding back his tears.
"yeah, i'll put some pictures here, but y/n came back because he was shot while trying to attend to the soldiers, um," mingi paused, gathering himself as he remembered the pain and condition his lover was in, "he was shot in the right lung and had to be transported to an afghan hospital for 2 weeks before being transferred back to a korean hospital. his recovery took about 2 months, so he's been home almost 2 weeks."
y/n squeezed mingi's hand when the younger started to cry. he bought his hand up and wiped mingi's tears, pulling him closer to him and shielding his face from the camera.
y/n immediately hugged mingi tighter when the younger let out a whimper and sniffed.
mingi wrapped his arms around y/n, the older still wiping his tears. y/n looked down, bringing his face closer to mingi's. "we can take a break if you need to," mingi nodded his head against y/n's chest as his breaths were short and heaved.
the two sat in the room filled with consolative words and kisses for around 10 minutes, the camera already had been turned off; y/n sat and held mingi until he collected himself.
"i'm ready." mingi spoke up, leaning up from y/n chest and turning the camera back on. once he sat back down on the bed, y/n pulled him back into his chest, peppering kisses all over his cheeks and forehead.
"okay. i'm ready whenever you are." the older removed his hand from mingi's cheek and pecked his lips before he let mingi sit up properly.
"i'm sorry, everyone. um, he's doing fine now. i just have to take him to get monthly checkups and stuff like that, but other than that, doctors say he should be completely fine."
"yeah, one of the military doctors put in a recommendation to get me discharged, so in a few hours, mingi is taking me to the base and i'll get to say goodbye to some of the soldiers in my platoon." y/n finished off, giving a small reminiscent smile to the camera.
"i'm not really sure if i want to leave, but mingi wants me to. we've talked about it and he doesn't want me going back. while we were talking about it, we came to an agreement..." y/n led off, letting mingi finish up their announcement.
"since i'm the sole source of income between the two of us, i've decided to take some time off from being a model. i want to spend more time with y/n now that he isn't deployed, and i also want to take care of him and be there for him. i've made enough money to take a short hiatus, and i've already talked to my company, they understand—in fact, by the time this video is edited and posted, the announcement should already be officially and publicly announced," mingi formally addressed his fans.
"i hope you understand our choice. i will still be posting regularly on youtube, the only difference is videos won't be just about my day and what i do. they'll be about us and how we live together. so i hope you guys will wait for us!" mingi exclaimed, a smile on his face when he mentioned the word "us".
y/n smiled at mingi before looking at the camera and waving goodbye.
"so, we hope you enjoyed this video or at least found it interesting." mingi grinned, pulling his legs to his chest and leaning into y/n.
the older wrapped his arm around mingi and waved again before turning the camera off.
he bought his hand down and placed it on mingi's cheek, bringing his face closer.
he nuzzled his nose onto mingi's cheek, shaking his head, which caused the taller to giggle and grab onto the hand on his cheek.
"alright. come on, we can edit later, let's order some food and play mario kart," he pecked mingi's lips multiple times before pausing with a lingering kiss, "i'll pay."
mingi smiled at his words, nodding his head excitedly, his glasses shaking along his face. "split the pay?"
"nope."
