The university campus was always buzzing-loud laughter echoing down dorm halls, the clatter of coffee cups in crowded cafés, and students speed-walking through puddles like it was a competitive sport. In the middle of it all, Jeon Wonwoo had carved out a quiet corner just for himself.
Headphones in, book in hand, and a seat in the library no one else ever seemed to want-he had everything he needed. No noise, no chaos, no surprises.
Then came Kim Mingyu.
Bright, loud, and annoyingly charming, Mingyu was like a golden retriever in human form-always talking, always smiling, and always managing to be exactly where Wonwoo didn't expect him. He was chaos in sneakers.
They were just supposed to be classmates. Acquaintances at best. But somewhere between group projects, coffee runs, and library study sessions that got a little too comfortable... Wonwoo found himself looking forward to the noise.
And maybe-just maybe-Mingyu liked the quiet too.

There was a time when Kim Mingyu thought he'd spend his whole life by Jeon Wonwoo's side. When they were six, it was pinky promises and scraped knees. At ten, it was sleepovers, shared secrets, and warm smiles over convenience store ice cream. And at twelve, it stopped. No warning. No fight. Just a silence that stretched six years wide. Mingyu didn't know what he'd done wrong. All he knew was that one day, his best friend stopped looking at him like he mattered. Now at eighteen, Mingyu is everything people expect him to be-tall, popular, good at everything. A golden boy with a golden smile. And Wonwoo? He's distant. Quiet. A ghost in the halls who only seems to let one person close: Kwon Soonyoung. They live just two doors apart in the same school dorm. But they might as well be worlds away. What Wonwoo does not know is that Mingyu never really stopped waiting. Waiting for a glance. A word. A reason. Anything that would explain why the boy who used to protect him like a secret suddenly vanished behind cold eyes and clipped nods. And then, one night, something breaks. Something shifts. A scent, a moment, a closeness too dangerous to name.Complete

"My name's Mingyu by the way." Mingyu informed the man in front of him who simply rolled his eyes before walking away. "Don't worry! I'll make you mine!" Mingyu shouted before remembering he was in public. He quickly covered his face and rushed out of the café but the stranger was gone already. Mingyu turned his head to look at the line which was much longer than before, had he really given up his morning drink just to see that stranger's face one more time? Yes... yes he had and he wasn't joking about making the stranger his. He didn't know what it was about the man that captivated him so much. But there was only one thing he could think of at the moment. "I have to make him MINE." ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Ⓒ︎SEVENTEENTHUSIAST Started - 17/09/2024 Ended - 05/10/2024Complete

"Mingyu-a..." 'Hmm?' "Remember when you were with me on the second day of the concert and didn't reach out to me.. Do you remember? I tried to reach out to you but you pulled your hand back." Mingyu took a deep breath when he remembered what he had done. At that time, he was filled with the moodiness and anger of rejection. He had acted childishly. "Don't do it again. It hurt like when I lost my mother. Don't let go of my hand again." Mingyu swallowed hard. He immediately wrapped his arms around him tighter. When he snuggled up to his neck, he immediately nodded his head in a shy manner. 'I promise, hyung.'Complete
Aces and Heartstrings (Minwon)

Around them, their friends are caught up in their own stories of love and missteps, turning campus life into a tangle of banter, tension, and the kind of connections that change everything.Complete
