You and Mingi first met during PE class and found each other attractive. Despite this mutual attraction, you both remained in the getting to know each other stage of love and behaved like regular friends. At first you thought that Mingi was a serious and cold person, but he turned out to be a cutie and a silly guy, which is precisely your type. Although PE class was your only commonality, you two began to join each other’s classes. And this habit has helped improve both of your marks.

A cute love story

Mingi's bullying started in secondary school. It started with light teases, but it escalated when you both reached high school, turning into something much harsher. He orders you around in senseless ways, making you do errands for him whenever he pleases. He doesn't hesitate to smack or belittle you, and he’d find countless ways to make you feel miserable. Things are even harder as you have to deal with not only Mingi now, but you’ve also become a target for Youngmi's bullying.

why is the sky so dark today

Mingi's house is distant from yours by only a few houses, and you used to hang out with other kids in your neighborhood as well. But as Mingi grew up to have a sassy yet arrogant personality, you can't stand him anymore and find him really annoying. You also hate how he is constantly welcome to having meals with your family

A sassy boy living in your neighborhood

It's the class reunion and everyone is a bit tipsy, laughing about those old moments. You glance over at Mingi, who's being offered drinks by his friends. However, he hasn't greeted or even glanced at you, so you continue to view him as a bad ex. In the end, both you and Mingi end up getting drunk as hell, and your friends finding the situation amusing, decide to throw both of you into the same taxi heading home. But the driver seems somewhat strange…

The school bell rings once again

To make your Mid-Autumn Festival day even more memorable and special, you decide to sign up as a volunteer for a project called "Mid Autumn Festival of Love". This activity organizes specially for children from a local church. Coincidentally, Mingi is also participating in the same volunteer project as you, both of you are members of the same club at college. However, as a new member, you haven't had much interaction with him.

mid autumn festival of love

You and Mingi are classmates and often hang out on Sundays, going to church together. In junior high school, your seats were right next to each other, and you would often banter and joke around during class. He's tall, with a bright personality, kind, and also innocent, in contrast to his appearance. In high school, you two were no longer in the same class, and your friendship began to fade and you were torn between attending his farewell party or not.

Last farewell

Mingi, who is your colleague in the same faculty and coworker, has a seat next to yours. You have a playful relationship with him, often teasing him and asking him to do things for you. He tends to be grumpy and protest, but eventually gives in and does what you ask nonetheless. You both are like dog and cat as everyone encourages you two to record sparring moments and upload them on social media for entertainment. This brings more attention to both of you and to raise the company profile.

Your tsundere coworker

Mingi, a member of a band where he plays both the role of rapper and bassist. He belongs to the class next to yours, so you know some basic details about him. He initially joined the band merely at the insistence of his friends but eventually he also wants to become an idol. And he is known to possess a free-spirited and bold personality, leading him to dye his hair platinum despite the school's regulation. Beneath his serious demeanor he is actually a foolish lad who enjoys frightening everyone

Your schoolmate who wants to be an idol

Mingi's family is wealthy and being the richest household in your neighborhood. You’ve been in debt to Mingi’s family since your grandparents' time, establishing a fate-debt relationship between your families and between the two of you. He's an immature young man who can be harsh to others without thinking twice. But with you, the girl he adores, he transforms into an awkward boy who handles you with a rough gentleness that he's not used to.

young and rich, tall and simp you

Mingi has been your classmate for two years, and also your neighbor, whose seat right behind yours as well. That's quite a few coincidences between the both of you, but you aren't close, and have no affection or concern for each other. His parents are usually occupied with their work, which limits their time to care for him, yet the trade-off is his family's wealth. As a result, he has grown to be independent yet disheveled on the outside, but still remains childlike and simple on the inside.

Summer break buddy

You and Mingi have been married for two years now, enjoying a comfortable life in your mid-sized apartment. You often ask teasing questions like "Do you regret marrying me?" Mingi, ever the sarcastic grump, responds with a loud yell of "YES!" But he can't keep a straight face for long and breaking into a smirk. Despite his mock annoyance, it's clear that his love for you is boundless.

Adorkable couple

You and Mingi were in the same middle school, seen each other a few times, but your paths never seemed to cross. However neither of you expected that you would end up being classmates in high school, and what's more, both of you had a small secret crush on each other. He's frivolous, but grumpy and doesn't like messing around with any girls...except for you, albeit subtly with his poker face. Yet the problem is, neither of you has confessed and it doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon

one step at a time

With the start of a new semester, your teacher decides to rearrange the seating arrangement, and Mingi's name is placed next to yours. However, after a week, you find yourself sitting alone at your desk while Mingi chooses to sit with his friends in the back of the classroom instead. He only sits with you during your homeroom teacher's period, likely to avoid being lectured by the teacher for not following the assigned seating arrangement.

seatmates, but not by choice

Mingi is described as an energetic guy, as he is fit, tall and outgoing. Your teacher jokingly - but at the same time, almost serious - said that Mingi should help you pass the PE course, or else he would fail too. Although you two barely know each other, and the teacher's tone was joking, Mingi somehow takes the teacher's word seriously and remembers his "responsibility" is you.

You and Mingi are childhood friends. Now, you're both 18, but you still act like kids when you meet. You two always banter and have so many inside jokes that only you two find funny. Since Mingi is a head and a half taller than you, you guys look like an adult older brother and a teenager younger sister, so it's not surprising that you two have a sibling energy. Your friendship is completely platonic, as both of you are too dumb, naive, and carefree to consider it as anything else.

Barging into your best friend's room (student ver)

In your friend group at college, Mingi is the one you are closest to. The two of you grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since elementary school. Mingi had just broken up that very afternoon. He had only told Wooyoung about it but by the evening, the rest of the group knew and suddenly there was a breakup celebration party at Mingi's place. After reading the messages in the group chat, you decide to go over there and see for yourself if his eyebrows have really disappeared

his girlfriend dumped him over a ridiculous reason

Your glasses are broken, and your poor eyesight led you to sitting in the wrong seat, making you a clown, especially in the eyes of a certain classmate, Song Mingi. He’s not a friendly one, rather a gruff rebel who has a seat right behind you. He’s not the type to tease or flirt; instead, he’s a lazy guy who often appears in a disheveled uniform, not even bothering to tuck his shirt in. He’s uninterested in anything but riding his motorcycle, alone or with his friends, to any and everywhere.

gruff guy and his nearsighted classmate

You and Mingi used to date each other during junior high school, but it was merely a shallow teenage attraction because neither of you had deep feelings for the other. You two began dating for the sake of being a couple, since that title made you feel cool and popular. After breaking up, you remained friends, and even continued to this day. However, rather than maintaining a friendly relationship, you enjoy teasing and mocking each other constantly

Be friends with your ex

The troubling interactions between you and Mingi started back in middle school, starting with a few teases but as you reached highschool, he began to target you in ways that more cruel and embarrassing. He order you around, making you do errands for him anytime he want and he’d find countless ways to make you feel miserable. Even so, he began to realize that your time together in high school was almost over. But of course, he kept this realization locked deep inside him, not wanting to admit it.

with a click, we freeze the student days

You and Mingi were best friends throughout your adolescent era. The years passed by swiftly, and now you're both busy working and pursuing your ambitions. However, after turning 25, the question of marriage keeps on coming up. Relatives and friends are constantly asking, "When will you get married?" This reminds you of the foolish promise you made as teenagers. If you and Mingi are truly desperate to find love, you promised to marry each other.

Marrying your best friend

Your friendship with Mingi started since you were both in kintergarden and continues up to the present, when you are both now 25 years old. He was a calm kid, and he remains the same, constantly enduring your childish antics and inside jokes that only the two of you find funny. Despite the closeness, both of you were content with this precious friendship and never considered taking it any further or changing it in any way.

barging into your best friend's room

A few days ago, you noticed a stranger's comment on a post. The topic was about the upcoming mid-autumn festival, and that post was asking if everyone had a partner for it yet. One user’s response stood out – a self-promotional comment advertising himself for "rent" in a humorous manner, likely meant as a joke. It started as a playful interaction, where you jokingly suggested "hiring" him. To your surprise, the guy played along, and somehow, that playful conversation turned into a real agreement

At first Song Mingi only bullied you for fun, but it seems that he didn't realize that he had fallen in love with you yet, because you gave him a sense of familiarity. Your best friend was being bullied, and he didn't want you to have to be afraid and insecure all the time, so he often advise you to stop playing with your friend, but it seems that his way of speaking was a bit rude, so it made you uncomfortable. The thing he afraid the most came, you became the next target of bullying by a girl

Bullying you but not intending to hurt you

Mingi has been employed at your dad's shop for two years now, having started working there since his freshman year in college. Lately, business at the shop has been sluggish, and clearly, the idea of dressing Mingi in a chicken costume was your dad's, making the most of Mingi's good looks to attract more customers.

You've been playing the audition game with Mingi, an online gaming buddy without realizing he was the same Mingi you shared a class with until the day the two of you exchanged social media information. After exchanging social media information, you and Mingi went from being mere classmates to friends. And of course, your gaming sessions continued, even expanding to a variety of genres like horror and adventure. Things were going smoothly for the two of you, just the way you both liked it.

This is the first trip in your travel collection, and you have chosen a city that is associated with your highschool days when you were 18 years old, a long time ago. There you are, bumping into an old classmate, Song Mingi. At the beginning of highschool when the faces of your classmates were still unfamiliar to you, the blue sneakers he wore were how you recognized him. By observing how he joked around and interacted with his friends, he became a special person to you without you realizing it.

blue sneaker, rain and a trip

You're attracted to Mingi and want to at least be friends with him, but he's a cold and straightforward guy, who only interacts with you in a token way, not seeming really interested in getting to know you better. And you don't know if he dislikes someone who is clumsy or not. After all, clumsiness is part of who you are. Even though you're feeling hopeless, because you're just too clumsy, you can't seem to change it.

"Be careful or you'll break something else"

You're in the same class with Mingi, and your first experience of interacting with him was when you were hanging out with a group of friends. That's when you had your 'love at first sight' moment. You had always been kind and patient towards him, it seemed that he neither wanted nor truly needed you by his side. You had hoped that this school field trip would be a happy memory, yet it turned out to be the final chapter in your one-sided love story.

This city is cold, and his heart is too

Mingi and you have been friends since you were in diapers, born the same age and growing up in the same neighborhood. You two had just finished the last exam, and instead of going home, Mingi took you to his favorite barber shop to dye his hair. He’d wanted the Rengoku style for a while, and with a few days off for Christmas seemed like the perfect excuse. You knew his mom would barely accept this, but he brought his new look home anyway. Of course, he ended up getting kicked out of the house.

trouble doesn’t find him, he finds trouble

Mingi is a peer living in the same neighborhood and going to the same college as you as well. He is a kind guy with a bright, good-hearted and rustic personality. He would sometimes take a look into your faculty building to look for you before he heads home.

Your good friend

Mingi and you are classmate throughout highschool but you guys aren't close, not even friends, only mere classmate. Mingi is a nonchalant yet distance so his appears as a student is dishelved and lazy guy, and he has a rude yet sassy personality but sometime he kinda funny. But it was just his sassy and dishelved exterior, deep down he may a simple and rustic person despite his giant figure

A beach trip with your classmate

On your way home in the rain, you take shelter in a crowded noodle restaurant, where you have no choice but to share a table with another lone customer. The stranger you share a table with is Mingi, who is around your age and has striking pink hair. He is also on his way home from work. You both hesitate to risk damaging the motor and decide that slurping a hot bowl of noodles in the rain is not such a bad idea after all.

rain softens the city's rhythm

Highschool was a beautiful memories, yet they floated away too quickly for a younger you to cherish them as much as you should have. Now you find yourself feeling a bitter longing for those times. There was a confession that remained unspoken, buried deep within you. That affection, much like dust, was thought to have flown away but it has somehow returned, filling your heart once again. Even once in a dream, someone offered you the chance to link your red thread to someone and you chose “him”

dust of love returned and filling up your heart

You have recently joined a club, and by coincidence, the welcoming party is on your birthday. Mingi, a member of the club, has prepared a performance for you as both a birthday gift and a way of introducing himself. You were immediately smitten by him. Mingi looked incredibly handsome as he danced with such enthusiasm, and you found yourself falling for him in that very moment. Yet your pursuit was far more difficult than you had originally thought, since he only wants to remain friends.

it's the liquor talking

Mingi is your father's godson. When you were kids, your father's friend brought his sons to your house to hang out with you. You were really close back then, but your friendship faded over time. Lately, their sons only come to your house on lunar new year. While the conversation between them and your father is normal and engaging, yours with theirs is often awkward and strained. But this year, an unexpected situation has brought back your and Mingi's friendship, all thanks to the overnight.

An unexpected overnight stay

Mingi and you are currently in the 11th grade, you have a crush on him even though you two barely interact with each other. It's hard to explain why, but you just like everything about him, from his appearance to his cold personality. Despite the constant rejections and ignoring of your affection, you can't and don't want to give up on him, and you don't understand why.

Pursuing your cold crush

You start falling for Mingi slowly over time as he often helped  you and your friends from the first year in college until now. At first you thought that he might have feelings for you but you realize later that you misread him. It turns out that he actually has a crush on your close friend, Yujin, and that explains his behavior. You choose to keep these feelings to yourself since you don't want to interfere with their potential relationship but now you just discovered that Yujin has a boyfriend

Would you accept to be a replacement in his heart?

Mingi is your classmate, and there's a lot of chatter among the girls about him. He's labeled as a walking red flag, a heartbreaker, and various other negative terms. You generally keeps your distance from Mingi, as you prefer to avoid potential trouble for your own safety. You view him as a "bad guy," while he sees you as an "unapproachable for no reason" girl. These shared negative impression of each other make interactions between you two almost non-existent.

people may not pursuing you, but dogs might

You sneak away from the drinking affair and return to your room. Since the unfamiliar environment intimidates you, you request if your classmate, Mingi can allow you to stay at his room for a while until your friends return. There, you discover a mini fridge, you help yourself to a sip from one of its bottles, naively unaware that the liquid within has actually been replaced by alcohol and is disguised in a mineral water bottle by one of Mingi's friends

You accidentally getting drunk

Mingi and you became friends due to sharing the same friend circle. Since the group of friends hangs out regularly, the two of you aren't simply acquaintances but you're also not too close with each other either.

Skipping class with him on April Fools day

While sharing a class with Mingi for a short time, you found yourself developing an adoring feeling towards him, which had slowly blossomed by the end of the semester. The reason behind your budding crush on him stems from the time when the teacher jokingly assigned you to him, but Mingi unexpectedly took it seriously, as if he truly cared about who he was paired with. Unfortunate that your differing faculties and class schedules, you had started to lose hope that you might not see him again.

"I didn't know that you liked someone"

Mingi didn't mention that he came from a wealthy family but his parents neglected him and left him with funds to manage his own life. A car accident took the lives of his parents and his older brother inherited the family business. Unfortunately, their father's side of the family framed his older brother for corruption and stole his company, leaving him with a huge debt for legal fees. As a result, Mingi gave up college and worked multiple labor jobs to support himself and pay off his bro's debt

Our twenties

During in high school, Mingi, a nonchalant and lazy classmate, would sit behind you in class. You never developed a friendship beyond classmates. Despite having a secret crush on him for three years, after overhearing him talking about his girlfriend, you gave up on him and graduated without confessing your feelings. Four year has now passed, and a bitter twist of time and fate has made him your annoying roommate, which has caused you to become more hateful rather than loving.

Annoying housemate

From day one of high school, you'd fallen for Mingi at first sight. At first, he barely noticed you—his attention was on someone else, but you kept texting him, asking him to hang out. After a few solo outings, he started to see how well you clicked. Slowly but surely, he started to fall for you too. Then during a photobooth session, he leaned down and kissed your cheek, asking you to date him. You both kept it chill, letting your friends figure it out themselves. Because, you know, drama.

photobooth, our start and ongoing

You had a crush on Mingi back in highschool, which has remained to this day. Instead of confessing to him you remained in silence as he already noticed someone. So he had no idea about your affection and two of you had remained merely acquaintances. When he started dating his crush after entering college, yet you still liked him. Even from afar, you wished for his happiness and supporting him. Now he’s going through a breakup, yet you feel like he needs comfort even if you two aren’t that close

"Please look at me like that"

Mingi is a charming and handsome schoolmate who is part of your group of friends as well. He believes that flirting and dating as many people as he possibly can would make him cool, hence, he takes this "easy come, easy go" approach. Regardless of being aware of his reputation, you still unconditionally pursue and stick by his side, with no expectations in return. But the truth is, he doesn't appreciate this loyalty of yours, so he still continues to flirt with other girls, but not with you

Chasing after a flirty boy

The name Song Mingi had been your worst nightmare throughout middle school. To him, you were nothing more than a toy—something he could torment and bully without a shred of mercy. You worked hard to get into a decent high school, hoping to finally escape him, a place you were certain someone like him, with his grades would never get into. But your heart sank when you saw his name on the class list. That bastard actually studied just to get into the same school as you, like a freaking madman.

can’t stand you… or can’t stay away?

It all started back in middle school when you and Mingi were just two kids who happened to sit next to each other. You bonded over games and somehow that turned into a friendship that lasted through the years—past high school, through college, into the working world. You’re still friends, just no longer staying up late playing like typical teenagers. Life got too busy, and maybe you just grew up. But lately Minecraft has been on your mind again. Maybe it’s just nostalgia.

minecraft multiplayer goes wrong...

Last semester, you failed general physics, so this summer semester, you signed up for a retake class. That’s where you saw him—a guy who was, honestly, pretty good-looking. Totally your type. But as someone who suffers from a severe case of “boy-shyness,” of course, you only admired him from afar. After some discreet digging through the class list, you were pretty sure his name was Song Mingi… and that he was a year above you.

let's take a chance

You’ve been working for KQ Entertainment for nearly a decade now, wearing many hats—but mostly sticking by ATEEZ since their rookie days. Now, with only a month left on your contract, you’re torn. You're thirty, and part of you wants to move on—maybe to something quieter, something behind a desk. Lately, the members have seemed... off. Low energy, quiet. Especially Mingi.

“don’t leave, noona…”

Recently, the weather's been shifting as the season changes, so people get sick easily—and so do you. Right from this morning, a weekend day that was supposed to be relaxing turned terrible as you woke up with a slightly sore throat and a stuffy nose that kept running non-stop. It wasn't really something serious, so you forced yourself to eat something just to take medicine, hoping to stop the cold early. But after taking it, you passed out like you had a fever. And maybe... you actually did.

season change fever

Mingi was probably the closest person to you after your family, since you’d been together since high school. Your relationship was a mix of romance, friendship, and even comradeship, built as you grew up side by side. Even as adults, that playful, childish streak never faded. In truth, not much had changed since those days or maybe it was simply that, to both of you, the other felt like home. Like you could act like a total kid and still be loved, with no expectations and no judgment.

golden hour

You and Mingi had been friends since middle school. Your mom always asked him to look out for you, making sure no random punk would dare mess with you. But what she didn’t know was that her own daughter was the real troublemaker. You were pretty but kind of odd—sometimes acting like a total weirdo, sometimes being downright bitchy. Dealing with you was already tough, but it got worse when more guys started openly liking you. And the worst part? Mingi did too.

warning, you stay away

With his wolf-hybrid instincts, Mingi’s been independent for as long as he can remember—perfectly fine living solo, no one to worry about him. College in the morning, part-time job after, cooking and crashing at night, then catching the same bus again the next day. That’s where he met you, and suddenly, his whole idea of “being fine alone” changed. One time he even sat outside your house with a sign about stay loyal 4ever. Now he’s basically living there like a son-in-law.
