Me Without You

Let's dance

Days away from the comeback, Seventeen rehearses the choreography. Mingyu wants his space away from Jeonghan; While Jeonghan enjoys the part that he and Mingyu share.

Mingyu takes Hoshi to the side; "Listen, is there still time to change the choreography?" He whispers. Hoshi looks at Mingyu waiting for him to reveal it as a joke. "ummmm, let me think," Hoshi places his hand on his chin, "no, I can't, sorry." Hoshi didn't mean to sound rude, but both Mingyu and Jeonghan would have to be mature about this.

Mingyu struggled during the practices, wishing for it to be over. Afterwards he would remain in his room where he was sure he would not bump into Yoon Jeonghan.

When it was time to film their M countdown comeback stage, Mingyu put his performer face on. Making sure that he smiled his best and even looked Jeonghan in the eye sometimes.

After the filming Jeonghan approached him, feeling confident since Mingyu wasn't cold towards him anymore. "Do you want to go eat after this?," Jeonghan invited him.

Mingyu gets up and heads for the door without answering. Wonwoo follows behind, "I'm sorry Jeonghan," he mumbles before disappearing into the hall behind his best friend.

The next music show, wasn't much difference. In the waiting room Mingyu laid stretched out on a sofa with his eyes closed. Jeonghan took a seat next to him knowing that he would remain with his eyes closed. He didn't mind that Mingyu was not awake, all he really wanted was to be close to him, to smell his scent and to feel his warmth once again.

Unknowing of the situation Lee Chan approaches to interview and Mingyu is alerted of Jeonghan's presence. Mingyu answers his portion but begins to pull himself off the couch. "Don't," Jeonghan grabs Mingyu's thigh, "I'll leave," he offers as he moves to the next couch.

Jeonghan's touch was electrifying, sending jolts up and down Mingyu's upper leg. Memories rush back to him, thinking back to that faithful night during the Ode to You tour. 'And all it took was some soju' he thought fondly of the moment. The emotion is quickly replaced by bitterness and Mingyu storms out.

Determined to forget Jeonghan, he decides it's time to drink his love for him away. When they reach the dorms he goes straight to his room and directly to the mini fridge. He takes out a few bottles of soju and heads to the living room. Joshua, Seungcheol, Wonwoo and Minghao all stare in astonishment.

"Let's order some tteokbokki, and drink these bottles," Mingyu orders excitedly. The members happily comply and Joshua calls out for delivery. When the food arrives they eat and drink, they laugh a lot reminiscing old times. Mingyu is on his second bottle of Soju and reaches out for a third.

After half an hour that bottle is gone too, but no one has noticed because they were having so much fun. Mingyu excuses himself to the bathroom, but instead sneaks out. He marches to Jeonghan's floor, and quietly makes his way to Jeonghan's room.

He peaks through the crack and see's his angel changing into something comfortable. The last thing Jeonghan removes is his shirt; Mingyu barges in without knocking and forgets to close the door behind him. He pushes Jeonghan roughly against the wall, leaving no room for him to escape. Jeonghan's head hitting the wall hard enough for it to hurt.

Mingyu gasps, he never meant to hurt Jeonghan, but by now Jeonghan is aggravated as well. He shoves Mingyu right back and he lands on Jeonghan's bed. Startled Mingyu freezes and only watches as Jeonghan approaches. The older walks slowly towards a stunned Mingyu, undoing the button from his pants and lowering the zipper to reveal his dark blue calvin klein boxers. Once he reaches Mingyu he slides his hand up Mingyu's thigh, high enough to touch the tip and tease it. He then crawls on top, and startles a still in shock Mingyu. Jeonghan grinds slowly on top of him, making Mingyu hard as a rock.

Losing all focus Mingyu holds onto Jeonghan's waist, and closes his eyes. Only to be interrupted by Minghao's voice echoing through the hallway. Jeonghan jumps off and Mingyu sits up and covers himself with a pillow. Jeonghan had yet to have the conversation with him and didn't want him to find out this way.

"Oh there you are," Minghao sighs in relief, "We thought you wandered into the streets drunk."

After confirming that Mingyu was safe the8 retreated back to his own floor, leaving the pair alone once again.
