Mingyu has a problem and he has not been very quiet about it. You see, your boyfriend wants a dog. And he wants one badly. Every chance he gets, he lets you know how much he wants a dog. You'll find pamphlets on how to care for certain breeds of dogs everywhere in your apartment and he'll send you dogs in shelters waiting to be adopted, telling you just how cute they are. It seemed you couldn't go twenty minutes without being reminded how much your boyfriend wants a dog.

And it's not like you didn't want a dog. On the contrary, you also thought having a dog around would be a good idea. It's just, you both were very busy and a pet is a major responsibility. You weren't sure you'd have time for the poor thing or the money to care for one. There were more factors you needed to consider before you even considered adopting a dog. So unfortunately, you always had to play the bad guy and tell him you couldn't get a dog right now. Thankfully he understood, but you could see the sadness cloud his eyes every time and it made your heart sick.

One afternoon, Mingyu walked into your apartment kitchen while you were making lunch and told you he was taking you out. This wasn't the first time he brought up a spontaneous outing and you were more than happy to go with him. However, you were even more surprised when you saw the destination.

"Mingyu, why are we at a dog park?" You asked, slowing to a stop outside of the gate of the park.

He turned to you and squeezed your hands. "You know I'm not kidding when I say I want a dog and I know you want one too. I think it's time we get serious about trying to find the perfect dog and make this a family of three now."

You sighed. "Mingyu, I know you want a dog more than anything else in the world right now. But do we have the time for one? Do we have the money? I want to make sure that getting a dog right now is the best thing for us."

"It is!" He assured you. "You just got that promotion at work, so the money is all taken care of. And my boss is adjusting my work schedule so that we can spend more time with the dog. I promise, I've thought about this just as much as you have. I want to give this dog, whatever dog we get, the best life possible."

You had to admit, his enthusiasm was contagious. So with a sigh, you nodded. "Fine, okay. We'll seriously think about getting a dog. But that still doesn't explain the dog park."

"Sure it does!" He turned to look at all the dogs playing with a bright smile. If he was a dog, you knew his tail would be wagging with excitement. No wonder he wanted a dog so badly. "It's hard to determine what dog is best for us based on pamphlets. We need to see how they interact with other people. This is the best way to do it! We'll find a breed from this park and then we'll look around at shelters until we find the perfect one."

"Mingyu, dear, I love you but this plan is crazy."

He pouted, but you could tell it wasn't serious. "It may be crazy but it just might work! Please, just give it a chance? For me? Please?"

You sighed. "Alright. For you, we'll try your plan."

Instantly he perked up and escorted you closer to the park. There were two sections in the dog park: one for smaller dogs and another for bigger dogs. You appreciated that the two sides were partitioned by a fence, as you would hate to see a little Yorkshire terrier get pummeled by a German shepherd. Mingyu took you to the small dog section first, where you watched shih tzus, pomeranians, chihuahuas, and bichon frisés play with each other. 

"Aww." You couldn't help yourself. They were all so adorable! It felt like you could pick one up and put it in your pocket!

Mingyu grinned and nudged your shoulder. "See, I knew you'd like it here."

You rolled your eyes. "This still doesn't mean anything, Gyu. I just think the dogs are cute."

He nods before gesturing to the dogs before you. "Which one do you like the most?"

You surveyed all of the different breeds before you before pointing to two of them. "I think that little white one over there is sweet and that other bi-color one is very adorable!"

Again, he nodded. "So a point for the maltese and the Cavalier King Charles spaniel."

Your jaw dropped a little at his words. "You know what breeds they are just by looking at them?"

"I've done a lot of research." Mingyu admits as he dips his head in embarrassment. "I could name any breed you point out."

"Is that a fact?" Your voice has a hint of a challenge to it and he perks up again at the sound.

"It is. I'll prove it."

"Alright." You glance over at the park again before pointing to another dog. "What breed is that one?"

Mingyu laughs. "That's a dachshund. C'mon! Give me a challenge!"

You laugh with him. "Alright, alright. How about... that one?"

"Ah, now that's a challenge." He stared at the little dog for a moment, and you could see him mentally go through all of the different dog breeds in his head. "That is a havanese."

"It looks a lot like the Maltese."

He nods. "I know. That's why I said it was a challenge."

You laugh before pointing to a different dog. "And what about that one?"

"Now that's a papillon."

"Butterfly?"

Mingyu holds his hands up in surrender. "Hey I didn't name it! The person who did named the breed for how their fringed ears look like butterflies."

You make a face. "I don't see it."

"Neither do I."

You shrug before looking back at the little dogs out in the park. "Well, they're all pretty cute, really."

His eyes narrowed at you. "I'm sensing a “but” is coming."

Turning to look at him again, you bite your lip. "But I don't think I want a small dog. I don't know. They look so fragile! I want a dog that I am not so afraid I'm going to break just by holding it wrong, you know?"

He nods. "I was kind of hoping you'd say that. I also want a bigger dog. One that I can rough house with."

You shake your head. "If that's what you want, fine, but you are not rough-housing in the apartment! We have breakables!"

"I promise to be careful!"

"You say that every time and then you break something!" You sigh. "But I trust you to at least attempt to be careful."

"Thank you my dear."

You scoff. "Quit trying to butter me up. Let's go see what kind of bigger dogs there are for us that might be worth adopting."

He nods and you both walk away from the small dog session to the bigger dog section. There you see huge dogs running through the park, chasing each other or some kind of toy. You smiled. Already you liked this idea more than a smaller dog. Something big with lots of energy and lots of love to give, that's what you were looking for. And who knows, if the dog you selected was big enough, they could also double as a pillow, which would be nice.

"See any breed you like?" Mingyu asked, which snapped you out of your thoughts.

You looked at all of the different breeds before you before you faced him again. "What about you?"

He furrowed his brows in confusion to your question. "What about me?"

"You're always asking me what breed I like. What breed do you like?"

"Oh." He seemed taken aback by your question before he answered it. "Well, I like the golden retrievers, Bernese mountain dogs, samoyeds, Alaskan malamutes, and labrador retrievers."

You nod and look back at the park. "So point those breeds out to me and I'll tell you which ones I like."

"Okay."

He pointed out each specific breed as he spotted them. You nodded and made mental notes about the temperaments for each dog as they played. You could see he definitely liked playful and cuddly dogs. And it made you happy to know that he liked the same kind of dogs you did. It made you even more excited to adopt a dog with Mingyu.

"So? What do you think?"

You nod. "I think we should start looking at what kind of shelter dogs match our tastes."

"Really?" He grinned so big, it almost looked like his face would split in two from how big his smile was. "You're really ready to adopt a dog with me?"

You nod and take his hands in yours. "I think we're finally ready for this. And I think the dog we should be looking for is a golden retriever. I mean, you remind me so much of that breed already. I think it would be absolutely adorable if we brought home a golden and I could say I have two golden retrievers at home!"

He blushed at your words. "Really?"

You giggled and kissed his cheek. "Yes really!"

"Well then a golden retriever we shall get!" He announced. "And I know the perfect one! At the shelter across town, they have this sweetest golden retriever named Maisie who is only a year and a half! She'd be perfect for the two of us!"

You make a face, although you can't help the smile that is threatening to tug at the corners of your mouth. "And why do you have that profile on standby?"

He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "I may or may not have memorized the dogs I thought we should adopt."

You sigh and shake your head before patting him on the cheek. "Why am I not surprised? You're so cute, Gyu! It's why I love you."

"I love you too." He kisses the top of your forehead before murmuring. "So... can we go?"

"Wha- right now?"

"Please?! I want to play with her and hopefully adopt her before someone else does!" He begged, his hands clasped together.

You chuckle and nod. "Alright. Let's go meet Maisie."

To put it plainly, you've been having a bad day. 

Every day these days has been a bad day for you, really, and you don't even know why. Little things, like not being able to eat properly, or waking up slightly late, or simply having an off day have constantly left you drained and irritated. 

But today, you're even more so. 

"Stupid computer having to break down making me work stupid overtime and come home late," you mutter to yourself. It's dark as you fumble with the front door of your apartment, but your fingers aren't cooperating with you after having been cramped over a keyboard for so long, and you're cursing to yourself repeatedly by the time you do eventually manage to get the door open. 

"Fuck!"

And then you trip over the entrance. 

There's a pattering of feet coming rushing into the entryway where you're lying in a pained mess on the floor, a voice crying out in shock over the haze of anger and frustration and exhaustion blurring your senses. 

"Oh my god, babe, are you okay?"

Your head is pounding, limbs aching, but then there are warm arms wrapping around your torso, lifting you up onto your feet, and a face comes into view, frowning in worry while the hands keep you upright. 

Seokmin's expression is emanating concern, eyes warm and dim in the lack of light, mouth twisted downwards and he looks so lovely and worried for you that you can't help the way your own face scrunches up and you begin to cry. 

His eyes widen but he doesn't hesitate to wrap his arms even tighter around you, letting you burying your head into his shoulder. 

"Oh, baby, what's wrong? What happened?" 

He's warm, you manage to think faintly, smelling like a mix of himself and the scent he sometimes wears and home. You didn't even realize how much you've missed him until you were in his arms again. 

"Shh, it's okay," he says softly, holding you as you shake and sob in his arms. "It's okay, cry as much as you need, Minnie's here now. Everything will be okay."

And God, even as you're bawling your eyes out and hiccupping and wetting the shoulder of his shirt with your tears, you kind of do feel like everything will be okay. 

"I'm here, I'm here, shhh, don't worry. I love you. I love you." Seokmin says it over and over, his voice endlessly gentle and there's so much love bleeding into his words that you cling to him even harder. 

The door is still open, and you haven't even taken your shoes off yet, but Seokmin holds you and soothes you through the sudden tears until they die down and until you can breathe normally again. 

That's when he pulls away, face illuminated by the cold dimness of the night air, but his smile is full of wonderful light that makes him glow. 

He doesn't pull away far enough for you to leave his arms, and he gently strokes your cheek with one hand. "How was your day, Y/N?" he asks. "It must have been hard, wasn't it? That's why you're so upset today, hm?"

You nod, not trusting yourself to speak, and Seokmin coos softly. 

"Oh, my poor darling," he says, fingers trailing from your cheek to the back of your head to pull you into another hug. "Don't worry, you're home now. I'm here. Minnie will take care of you."

The third person reference makes you laugh, a small, bubbling sound. "Minnie always takes care of me."

"Mm, does he?" Seokmin says, and his tone is soft and teasing all at once and it makes you smile. He pulls away, grinning at you. "That's good. He's gonna be able to take care of you now."

"Will he?"

"Mhm!" Seokmin beams brightly, kissing you on the cheek before gently disentangling himself from you. "Let's get you out of your shoes first, baby. And how does a nice mug of hot chocolate sound?"

"Sounds good," you say, a little shyly, as Seokmin leans past you to close the door before bending down to coax you out of your shoes. "And…"

Seokmin looks up, and his face is so open and ready to accept whatever you say that your heart clenches, amazed once again that such a man loves you. 

"And what, babe?" he asks. "What do you wanna do?"

"Can we… make a blanket fort? Maybe?"

Your boyfriend blinks, before a starry smile spreads over his face. "Of course." He stands up, cupping your cheek and kissing you lightly. "Anything for you."

———————————— 💫

It takes two hours, because Seokmin insisted that you took a nice, relaxing bath while he set up the fort and the hot chocolate for you before promptly realising he couldn't do it all by himself, but by the end of it you're squished between your fluffiest pillows with a blanket over your legs and Seokmin against your back. 

"Feeling better?" he asks, chin on your shoulder. He kisses your cheek quickly. "We can sleep in tomorrow. I think you need a break."

"Tomorrow's the weekend, I get to sleep in anyway," you point out, and Seokmin makes a little "oh" noise before laughing.

"You're right. Well, even more reason to sleep in then," he says. "In fact, I'll hold you down if you try and get up before me."

That makes you laugh, leaning back into his chest, watching the shadows being made on the blanket walls by the small lamp in the middle of the fort. "I'll hold you to that."

He chuckles, a soft rumbling sound that tugs a smile up your lips. 

"Hey," Seokmin says suddenly, shuffling around so that he can hold his hands out in such a way that it casts shadows over the walls. "Guess what animal this is."

"Uh… a cat? A rabbit? A dog?"

Seokmin lowers his hands in disbelief. "A dog?" He puts his hands up again, flapping them around. "In which universe is this a dog, Y/N? Come on, what's this?"

"I dunno," you tease. "It looks like a turtle to me."

"If you get it wrong this time, I'm gonna tickle you," he warns. "I think you know exactly which animal this is."

"Do I? 'Cause I'm still pretty sure it's a dog—ah! Hey!"

Your protests are cut off by your own laughter as Seokmin's fingers tackle your sides, his smile bright and glowing gold with love and warmth. 

Your day had been terrible. Horrible, actually. 

But maybe it was all okay if you had a Seokmin to come home to.

When you asked Minghao to teach you Mandarin, he was more than happy to teach you. He was confident you could learn the language, especially with him teaching you. He was sure he was capable of being able to teach the language since he was such a good student in his past and because he grew up learning the language.

However, in practice, it was far more difficult than he thought. Not because you were bad at it; on the contrary, you were pretty good at it. You weren’t the best and you did fumble with the pronunciation and grammar, but you were doing a lot better than he thought you would. No, what his problem was, was the fact that you were so cute when you spoke Mandarin.

Every time you attempted a new word or spoke a sentence of new words, his heart would melt into a puddle on the floor. You were just so cute, trying and finally getting it. The way you would wiggle in your seat with joy when you got a word or complicated sentence, he just wanted to pepper you in kisses and cuddles. And he wasn’t a big fan of PDA.

One day, you were going over your Mandarin lessons when you asked him a question that nearly killed him. “So I have a question. What does it mean when I say wǒ ài nǐ?”

He practically choked on his water. “Ah what?”

“Wǒ-”

“I heard you.” He cut you off.

What could he say? You both were still pretty new to this whole relationship. Neither of you said I love you yet. Does he tell you that you just said I love you to him? Was that okay? All the warning bells were ringing in his head and he didn’t know what to do anymore.

“So do you know what it means?” You asked. “Or do I need to ask Junhui?”

“NO!” Minghao practically shouted, abruptly standing up and knocking the chair he was sitting onto the floor. “You cannot ask Junhui!”

You blushed. “Why? Did I say something bad?”

He also blushed. “No, no, you didn’t say anything too bad…”

“Then what did I say?” You mumbled.

Well, he might as well tell you. He tried to convince himself it was like ripping off a bandaid. Screwing his eyes shut, he admitted, “What you said was I love you.”

There was a beat before you answered. “Oh? Is that all? I thought I said something like go fuck yourself.”

“Y/n!”

“Kidding.” You teased.

Another pause passed before he spoke up. “So you’re not weirded out by the fact that you just said you loved me?”

You shook your head. “Nope. I knew I was going to say it eventually. I guess now was the perfect time!”

“So you love me?”

Nodding, you took his hands in yours. “Of course I love you Minghao. I always have.”

He smiled before kissing your forehead. “Wǒ ài nǐ.”
