#minchantober2026 day 1, different first meeting rated g
Chan weighs each piece in his hand, rubbing his thumb against the fabric and humming. The green one is scratchier, but that's just on the outside. The lining doesn't feel too bad. The white one doesn't weigh as much, but. Well. It's white. It also flows straight to the ground, and Chan is pretty sure that makes it a tripping risk.

He double checks the price. He could get both. He hadn't budgeted for two, but.

Chan hangs the green one back on the hook so he can grab his phone. He knows which one Jisung would pick, but Changbin might be able to guide him towards a decision. 

He's barely gotten KakaoTalk open before a slim hand cuts into his field of vision and snags the green fabric and tugs it off thse hook.

"Hey, wait," Chan starts as he reaches for the same fabric. Foolish, since his fingers are busy holding onto the white one and he can't snatch it back.

The tips of his fingers brush against the other person's hand, and he fights back a shiver. The person's skin is smooth, cool to the touch. So unlike his own callused, too warm palms.

Then his eyes rise to meet the person's face, and Chan's entire body stutters to a stop.The person is beautiful. No, stunning. No, ethereal. Chan shakes his head. Ethereal isn't right; the person is beautiful in a real, grounded way. His skin isn't smooth and glowing like a pane of glass, but rather textured with long-faded acne scars and a faint ruddiness on the cheeks that make Chan think of the nose of a kitten. He's got thin tan lines on his temples that match perfectly the sunglasses perched on his hair. Dark, thick hair, curling around his ears and providing what has to be the most comfortable bed for those glasses. 

"Yes?" the person asks, and his voice! Higher than Chan expected, but with a sweetness and strength that makes Chan itch for his sound booth.

"I—" Chan stops. What was he doing? 

The man blinks at him. "You asked me to wait?" He blinks again and his sunglasses slide down his forehead. The man huffs and goes to push them back up, and Chan's eyes lock on the green fabric. 

"Yes!" he blurts, and the man pauses with his hand and his clutch of fabric hiding half his face.

"That, that piece, that you just grabbed. I was looking at it."

The man stares at him. At least, Chan assumes that's what he's doing, based on how little he can see through the various colored fabrics.

"It was on the rack," the man says.

"I was still deciding."The man finally brings his arm down, and Chan can't help the small smile as the man's face comes fully into view once more. The man glances at Chan, the white fabric in one hand, and the phone in the other.

His eyebrows move, and Chan can't help but think he's being judged. 

"It's an important decision," he mutters.

"Oh I know," the man says. "But pickings are slim, and I need three. This," he holds up the green fabric, "is the last in this size."

"You're taking it?" Chan knows he sounds too sad. But as the man gestured with the fabric, Chan imagined what it would look like in practice, the way the tail would move, how fun the head piece would look.

The man hesitates.

"It's okay," Chan says quickly. "I have this," he lifts up the white one. It's a fine choice. Traditional. It'll get dirty in less than thirty seconds, and that'll bother Chan for the rest of the evening, but it is what is. It's only for one night. And it'll teach him for waiting until the last minute. 

The man continues to look at him. Studying, maybe. Or maybe trying to think of a way to politely exit the conversation.

"Happy—"

"Who is it for?" the man interrupts.

It's Chan's turn to stare.The man sighs, shifts the pieces in his hands around so he can take out his phone. He takes a step towards Chan to show his phone screen. 

"This is Soonie," he tells Chan, pointing out a rather large orange cat wearing a fuzzy pair of white bunny ears. He looks incredibly long suffering. "Doongie," another orange cat, with more white on his face. "And Dori," a gray tabby with the most fashionable pair of glasses Chan has ever seen on an animal.

"I have to get them each their own, or else there would be mutiny." The man sighs, tucks his phone back into his pocket. Chan lets his eyes follow that hand to the thigh and they stick there for just a moment. 

"They're adorable," he tells the man honestly. He knows that's what most people say when seeing other people's pets, but the cats are really quite cute. And they clearly have a wonderful relationship with the man, if their willingness to be dressed up means anything.

The man smiles, a subtle curling of the lips that makes Chan think that he's part cat too.

"And yours?" the man asks.

"Oh!" Chan fumbles with his phone and the white costume, unlocking and quickly swiping out of KakaoTalk and his draft to Changbin.

He's got a special folder for everyone he loves, so it's easy to find the one he's looking for.

chapter two of two: i'm all in, palms out, i'm at your mercy now and i'm ready to begin archiveofourown.org/works/809583...
"Is everything okay?" Felix tilts his head, and Seungmin shivers. It's Felix making the movement, but it sits strangely on him. Felix is always picking up mannerisms from those around him, but this one feels different.

"I—," Seungmin starts again. His throat aches, raw and dry. He lifts the mug to his lips, but his arm shakes. "What?" he says again, but his voice is rough, quiet. He can barely get the mug to his lips, and when he looks up Felix has his eyes locked him on. They're bright and shining, but not with the normal joy Seungmin is used to seeing. Felix blinks, and a single tear leaks out of his right eye and slides down his cheek. Seungmin pauses, the mug still touching his lips.

"Drink, Seungmin," Felix whispers, fear in his voice. "Please, you have to, please, just—"

Seungmin drags the mug away from his mouth. He's dreaming, this is a dream, a nightmare, something is terribly wrong with Felix, and he needs to wake up and help him, needs to get out of this place, needs to—

"Drink, damn you, why you are so damn stubborn—"

And Seungmin finds his mouth opening with his permission, pressure against his cheeks and his throat and he doesn't need to breathe but he's gasping and he knows, he knows that he doesn't want to drink it, even if he's hungry, even as the dull pain in his stomach is waking up and roaring to life, even as more tears drip down Felix's face and his thin fingers reach out towards Seungmin—

Chan knows his heat is on its way. Or, well, everyone does now, because he's glowering at anyone who might dare to challenge his claim on his pack. The fact that this includes the three stylists who are literally just trying to make sure they don't look like shit on camera is... a problem.

 a little on the nose, don't you think?
by beanut_butter
Summary:

    Right up until his presentation, Chan's scent had been fairly faint. A little sweet, a little rich, a little fruity, even, if anyone got close enough.

    Unfortunately for Bang Christopher Chan, presenting as an omega at nineteen years old in a dorm full of other trainees, his scent flares out into the room as eye-searingly hot gochugaru, and the place is unlivable for three days after.

     

    Scenes in the relationship of Bang Chan and Lee Minho through the years, from meeting to marriage.

gentle reminder if you are re-uploading other people's content from other sites: check their bios if this is something they're okay with. this includes fansites, translators, gif makers, etc. cropping watermarks or usernames out IS stealing content, even if it's not fic/art.

i started this like four different times and i'm not 100% happy with it still but here we are! mwah mwah thank u for indulging my dragoning
Minho never really thinks much about soulmates. His string stretches out in a straight line far beyond the horizon, far south of Korea, even when he'd been on a family trip to Jeju as a child. The world is so big these days that it's the case for many people- soulmates live on different continents, many meeting later in life, across the internet or after a move for work or school. Besides, Minho has Jisung, and they're pretty much platonic soulmates, so whatever. Who needs cosmically enforced romance?

It's the strangest thing, though. Maybe once or twice a year, Minho notices that his string moves. Not to point east or west, but just... up, into the sky.

"Maybe your soulmate can fly", Jisung jokes. "Maybe they're a pilot. Maybe they're old already."

Minho smacks him for it. Jisung, whose soulmate is that new fae kid Felix from Australia, loves gloating that he found his string. Well, he's stuck with Minho for life, string of fate or no.It's one of those times that Minho's string is pointing vaguely up. He doesn't take much notice of it at first, until it begins to point very up. Nearly straight up, then towards the northeast. Foolishly, he looks up at the sky, but it's a cloudy day and he has no hope of seeing an airplane or anything like that, if his soulmate is in one.

He's about to look down again and continue on his walk across campus when a dragon, clad in iridescent black scales, dives through the clouds. The shape is distinctive- long, sinuous, with three clawed toes on each foot.

One of which has a string only Minho can see tied to it, drawing a line directly between them.It takes a while to actually find the dragon, even after he sees them for the first time. They flew on, not seeming to notice Minho below, until they disappeared again.

First he checks shrines where dragons are worshipped. There are quite a few dotted around the northeastern parts of Korea, so it takes a while. None of them have seen or heard of a dragon such as Minho describes, though- some are dedicated to a four-toed dragon, or one of a different color. The direction his string points is much more unpredictable these days, which doesn't help. Definitely in Korea, then, but where?

As it turns out, one night when Minho decided to drag Jisung out to a club for a night of drinks at dancing: his dragon is here. Standing at the DJ table, doing... whatever it is that DJs do. The flashing lights catch the iridescent scales dotting his face and hands, the curved claws that still tip his fingers. The music is excellent, a pounding, driving beat that Minho hasn't heard before, but all he can focus on once he walks in is the way his string points him directly across the floor.It's not that big a club. Minho could probably just... walk up to him.

The dragon looks up and catches Minho's gaze. His eyes widen- he looks down at his hands, then up again. He presses a button on the boards in front of him, then gestures at an unmarked door.

Minho follows.

all those words are very very old as evidenced by the fact that they're all on gdocs

He’s finished his overpriced bourbon and is contemplating ordering another one when a body slides into the booth across from him.

It’s the omega from the bar.

Up close, he’s even prettier. Bright grey eyes that are framed with dark make up, big pouty lips painted a kiss bitten pink. A strong nose that Minho can tell from lessons from Hyunjin is contoured to look smaller than it is.

The omega is dripping in fancy jewelry; diamond earrings and multiple necklaces, two silver bracelets on one wrist that chime as he reaches for Minho’s glass, empty except for a thin layer of water from the melted ice. He brings the glass to his mouth to swallow the tiniest amount of water, leaving a sticky lip print on the edge.

For a moment Minho wonders if he’s an escort.

Then, the omega opens his mouth.

“Hi Linoring. It’s nice to finally meet you.”

His voice is soft, quiet. A higher pitch than Minho was expecting.

All of this is catalogued in the back of his mind as he re-adjusts to the new information.

“CB97?” he asks, just as low and quiet.

CB97 smiles, so gentle and sweet, still the image of the perfect omega. “You can call me Chan. We’re going to be working quite closely together.”
“You’re not what I expected,” Minho says, unable to stop himself.

“I never am,” Chan replies, smile never leaving his face. “I’d love to discuss the details, but would you mind if we relocated?” Chan tilts his head, a considering look crossing his face. “Preferably within the next 90 seconds?”

Minho lets his eyebrow raise, lets the surprise show on his face.

“Lead the way.”

When Chan slides out of the booth and heads to the door, Minho doesn’t stop himself from raking his eyes from his feet to his head. The boots, previously assumed to add some much needed height for an insecure omega, is recategorized as ones with a common tread and a decent weight, adding force to kicks and stomps. The skirt that swirls around Chan’s knees is long enough to be decorous, but distracts from things that might stick in someone’s mind, like Chan’s face or curly hair.

They’re barely two streets away, walking briskly in Seoul’s muggy heat, when Minho hears it.

Sirens, racing in the opposite direction of their steps.

He glances at Chan.

Chan just smiles, the same placid smile from the bar.

He really does look pretty when he smiles.

“You will receive a new mission. You will not fail. Lee Minho is in the wind, with that damn Hwang. No doubt they – “ The man stops. He is looking at the Soldier, small eyes narrowed.

“Is there a reason you failed your previous mission, Soldat?”

The man’s voice is cold. The Soldier is used to colder.

“Answer me, Soldat. Why did you fail your mission?”

The Soldier is quiet. There are many reasons for potential failure. The flying man, for one. This mission was poorly planned; an attack in a public area with countless variables no one could control for. He was given a team that also failed in their objective; had he not told them to handle the man while he pursued the Widow? Not only had they failed to kill him, but they could not keep him away long enough for the Soldier to dispatch the Widow.

“Soldat – “

“Who was he?” the Soldier interrupts. 

“An enemy,” the handler answers after a moment.

The Soldier shakes his head. “He was strong. He had a shield. He – “

“He was your mission! An experiment gone wrong,” the handler starts to laugh, a manic, unbalanced edge to it. “Not like our Soldat.” The handler gives a few more chortles.

“He knew me,” the Soldier says, once it is quiet again. <i>I knew him,</i> he doesn’t say. Did he know that man? No. Yes. There is an empty void in his mind, but those eyes. The way he moved, the way he moved <i>with</i> him. Like they were dancing. And the name he said. He’s sure it was a name.

The handler looks at him and doesn’t answer.

Finally he turns to the technician.

“Wipe him. Then prep him for the launch.”

The technicians start to move, scurrying like rats.

The Soldier knows what’s coming next.

He lets himself be pushed back into the chair. Opens his mouth for the guard. Curls his fists around the arms of the chair as the restraints wrap around his biceps.

When the pain starts, everything else disappears. There is no handler, no guards, no technicians.

No flying man, no Widow.

Only the mission.

Only Lee Minho.

“So what’s wrong with him?”

Woosung takes another drag from his cigarette, taking care to blow the smoke away from Minho. “Nothing’s wrong with the guy, he’s just nice,” he pauses, glances at Dojoon as if for permission. “Kind of boring, honestly.”

Dojoon sighs, like he’s disappointed. Minho knows he’s not, that he just likes to pretend he’s the only thing standing between Woosung and his desire of unending chaos.

“I don’t think he’s boring. Woosung just didn’t like that he wouldn’t fight back.”

“You make me sound like an asshole,” Woosung grumbles.

“You are an asshole.”

With that, Minho knows he’s not going to get anything more from this conversation and bows out.

He asks Minghao next.

“Not boring, no, but very, uh. Exuberant?” he says, holding the word on his tongue. “Very puppy-like man,” he gestures at Mingyu and Seokmin, who are wrestling on the ground, frisbee forgotten next to them. “There was something in the water, when all the ‘97 boys were born in Korea.”

Minghao rests against the tree they’re under.
“He’s sweet,” he continues after a moment. “Affectionate.”

“Clingy,” Minho interprets.

Minghao looks at him over his glasses but doesn’t deny it.

He finds San in the gym, as expected. He does low impact stretches while San hefts a truly disturbing amount of weights.

“Clingy? I mean, maybe, if you could ever get some time with the guy.”

Minho lets him huff and puff his way through another three reps.

“His priorities were just pretty clear, y’know? And they weren’t his relationships.”

Weren’t me, Minho hears.

“So he’s ambitious?”

San grunts and puts the bar back on the rack.

“I dunno about that. Dedicated, I guess. He’s just one of those guys who get focused on one thing and forgets everything else around him. For him, that one thing is music.”

Minho hums. Dedicated. That’s not too bad.

He can work with that.
