Title: (A Date With) Yoogeun [1/1]
Author: FloweryMisha
Pairing: 2Min
Warning: BoyxBoy love. Enough said.
Summary: Minho just wanna make sure if this Yoogeun guy's worth for Taemin.
It was a sunny Friday morning, and Minho was determined. He was determined to confess to his junior, a beauty named Lee Taemin about how he felt for the male. Ever since Taemin entered the university, Minho was drawn like a magnet to him, had been pestering him around for the past year and there’s even a saying “When there’s Taemin there’s also Minho-hyung.”
Minho was so in denial, whether should he confess or not. He was afraid Taemin would reject him, and their relationship would go distant. But his feelings were becoming so strong that he couldn’t even stand without Taemin around. One day Taemin was sick and didn’t go to campus, and Minho ended up cutting his class and showed up at Taemin’s house. After gauging and calculating his best friend’s relationship, Jonghyun and Key, he finally decided that it’s time to tell Taemin how he feels. It’s now or never.
So Minho, confidently, walked closer to the figure who was standing in front of his locker, looking beautiful as always. He took a deep breath and greeted the younger. “Taemin-ah.”
Taemin looked up and smiled. “Minho-hyung.”
Minho smiled back, loving the burst in his chest caused by Taemin. “So, uh...I wonder if you’re free tomorrow? I was wondering if I you want to have lunch with me...and watch movies...”
He must’ve sounded so cheesy because Taemin only blinked. Dammit.
“You mean...like a date?”
“Yesit’sadate,” Minho muttered it super quickly to hide his embarassment. “Pleasegooutwithme.”
Taemin’s mouth formed a small o and a moment later he beamed. “Hyung! Of course I’d love to go out with you!”
Minho almost punched the air in excitement when the maknae added,
“But I can’t tomorrow. I promised Yoogeun I’d go out with him.”
And Minho froze. If he was an anime character, the whole surrounding would be silent, the background would be white, and he would be covered in ice.
“Y-Yoogeun?”
“Yes, Yoogeun. He’s noisy, bouncy, moody, but he’s so cute and I’ve been wanting to date him,” Taemin smiled happily, not realizing Minho was dead in his track. “So...I’m sorry Hyung, maybe next time.”
Taemin stared apologetically at Minho, and then Jihoon, his friend called out to him about going to class together. He bounced to his friend happily after mumbling a “See you later, Hyung.”
Still, if Minho was an anime character, now would be the perfect time for him to melt into liquid on the floor, and the janitor ended up moping him away.

Jonghyun almost burst to laugh, but he managed to put on a serious face. Minho’s face was pressed against the table and he seemed lifeless. “Come on, it wasn’t a rejection.”
Minho quickly looked up. “Like hell it wasn’t!”
“He was being honest, um...in a rather stupid way. Damn, Key would kill me if he heard me saying this.”
“He’s not stupid!”, Minho defended his Taemin, thinking that he’s just too stupid innocent. Sighing, he lowered his face back to the table, didn’t bother to hide the sadness. “Maybe he didn’t realize my feelings...maybe he just think of me as an older brother, not much...”
“Yoogeun, huh? That name sounds familiar...”
Minho snapped his head up again. “For real? You sure?”
Jonghyun looked like he was thinking. “I think Key mentioned him somewhere...but I can’t remember.”
“K-Key mentioned him? Key knew this guy also? Gaah!! If Key mentioned him, that means he’s very attractive-you know how I always adore Key’s perception to other people,” Minho quickly added when he received a glare. “But seriously! When Key utter a person’s name, that means he’s...”
“...on the list,” Jonghyun finished the sentence.
You’re wondering about Key’s list? Well, it’s a list of names, really. Names who he thought were attractive and mostly, good looking. Son Dongwoon was in the list and he’s realllllllllly good looking. Since then Minho trusted Key with his life about the list. He knew most of the names though, but Yoogeun...something was blaring inside Minho’s chest and it was jealousy.
“I’m gonna follow their date,” Minho said, banging on the table, causing Jonghyun to jump slightly.
“After becoming Taemin’s fanboy, now you’re gonna be his stalker too?”
“I just needed to see if this Yoogeun really worth it! If he’s really the man, then I’d give Taemin to him, and make him promise to always take good care of him, because if he doesn’t I’m gonna break his nose-“
“Relax, man. And what if you think he’s not worth it?”
“I’m gonna make Taemin realize that I’m the one for him,” Minho said, determined. Jonghyun made his fists as if to cheer on him.
However, that would wait until tomorrow.
Minho was having a bit trouble getting the exact location for the date. He couldn’t possibly ask Key since he’s been behaving like Taemin’s umma lately and snap at anyone who would touch his son. He tried asking for Jiyeon’s help, but she wasn’t the best spy ever. Taemin suspected her and refused to talk to her. Then Minho tried bribing Hyunseong, and finally, he succeeded. Hyunseong was such a smooth talker that he asked Taemin to accompany him to buy a gift for someone he likes, randomly naming a mall and Taemin said he’s going to the Lotte World.
He was so happy and dismissed the thought that dating at Lotte World was a bit childish to him. Minho slept early that night, preparing his stalking energy for tomorrow.
***
Minho waited patiently in front of the gate for the the couple to show up. He couldn’t wait to spot Taemin with this Yoogeun and was leaving in a hurry, he forgot to bring his sunglasses. Minho glanced at his watch. Taemin was known for his on time appointment, so it should be around now...and just in time, the brown haired male appeared, even looked more stunning as the sunray reflected on his hair, making him looked like an...
“Angel,” Minho whispered. He was a bit disappointed when Taemin dyed his hair back to brown again, he prefer the auburn one, but nonetheless Taemin was still beautiful for him, and nothing’s gonna change that fact.
Taemin laughed happily, and it made Minho’s heart sank. He waited for another male beside Taemin to appear, looking handsome, cool, well dressed (duh, it’s your impression, Choi Minho) for him to judge. But Taemin was alone. In fact, he was holding hands with someone, but it was a...
...a kid.
Minho’s jaw dropped.
How old could this kid be? Around three or four, he estimated.
When Taemin and the little kid passed by, luckily not noticing Minho, he began to think maybe this Yoogeun person hadn’t showed up yet. Maybe Taemin decided to play with the kid first while waiting. So Minho followed them quietly, sometimes couldn’t help but smiling at the kid’s bouncing and running here and there. As he observed, there’s no evidence Taemin was waiting for someone, he didn’t glance at his watch, he didn’t look around, and Minho was starting to feel better.
Much better.
He kept distance between them, loving every moves Taemin made, his swaying hips, his stranded hair, his slender arm...until someone was trying to hit on Taemin. Or at least Minho thought he was. Taemin was having trouble keeping the kid since he likes to run everywhere, and Minho was thankful that Taemin turned around, leaving the guy hitting on him and chased the kid who was running...his way. They bumped right away.
Minho kneeled and opened his arms, holding the kid so he won’t fall. “Hey, easy there.”
“Yoogeun!!”
Minho’s eyes widened in surprise as the kid kept staring into his face. “Yoogeun?”
“Me!”, Yoogeun chirped happily, still in Minho’s arms.
“Hy-hyung?”
Minho looked up, and tried to stop his heart from beating fast as Taemin spotted him. “Taemin-ah...”
“Hyung, why are you here?”
He moved to a standing position, but Yoogeun kept clinging to his feet. “I-I...I, uh...I just feel like coming.”
Taemin frowned. “Alone? Here? Of all places?”
“I...”, then a cheesy reason popped in his head. “I was planning to take you here on our date next time, so I came here to observe...”
“Date! Me and Minnie-hyung are on a date!”, Yoogeun hugged Minho’s feet tightly, suddenly feeling very fond of the taller.
“Yes we are,” Taemin smiled, also kneeling, ruffling Yoogeun’s hair lovingly. “Yoogeun, this is Minho-hyung.”
“Minho Oppa!”
Minho and Taemin stared at each other before chuckling.
“Uh, maybe you mean Appa, Yoogeunie?”, Taemin said teasingly.
Yoogeun shook his head vigorously. “No, Minho Oppaaaa!”, he claimed and hugged the feet again.
“I think you just got yourself a fangirl,” Taemin giggled.
Minho grinned and swiped Yoogeun into his arms. “Okay, Yoogeunie, what do you wanna play?”
***
It was already past lunch time when they finally took a seat in one of the restaurants. Yoogeun was too excited, he dragged both Minho and Taemin’s hands to follow him wherever he went. He tried several plays, pointed at every coloured cotton candy, offered one at a crying girl, let go of Minho’s hand for five seconds and the next thing they knew, Yoogeun was already clinging at a man’s feet, crying and wailing how he was lost from his Minho Oppa.
Finally Yoogeun’s energetic feeling subsided, saying he’s hungry and pointed at a western restaurant.
Minho let Yoogeun settled himself on his lap, while opening up the menu in front of him, letting the kid staring at it in interest.
“He’s attached to you,” Taemin smiled and leaned his back on the chair. He was definitely tired.
“He’s friendly,” Minho said without taking his eyes off the menu. Yoogeun was pointing at some pictures, asking what would he have.
“He actually doesn’t. He’d snap at the people who would try to get close to me.”
“He is?”, Minho looked at Taemin beside him with surprise.
The younger one giggled. “Key-hyung got snapped. But it was the aegyo, I think, and Yoogeun easily cling to him too in the end.”
“Key Oppa!”, Yoogeun mumbled happily at the mention of the name. “Key Oppa, Yoogeun miss Key Oppa.”
“We’ll meet him before you got back, okay?”, Taemin patted the kid’s head.
A waiter came and scribbled their orders on the paper.
Minho waited until he left and cleared his throat. “Yoogeun is your...?”
“Nephew.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I consider him as a son anyway,” Taemin smiled and stared at the kid who yawned cutely on Minho’s lap. “Since his mother died, my brother’s been busying himself so he won’t think of her. But I guess everytime he stares at Yoogeun, he does remember her though... Thankfully, he took care of Yoogeun just right. Ne, Yoogeunie, come here often to see me, will you?”
“And go to Lotte World again?”
“Definitely.”
Yoogeun cheered and clasped his hands, started humming.
They smiled at a singing Yoogeun for a while, and Minho turned himself to look at Taemin.
“Taemin-ah.”
“Hm?”
“I was actually going to stalk you because you’re dating this kid.”
“Huh?”
“I thought he...was a grown up man,” Minho said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.
Taemin blinked for a while before burst out laughing. Minho blushed and looked away. Now he felt stupid.
“But Hyung...”
“Hm?”
“I’m glad you came for me. Thank you,” Taemin said softly and laid his head on Minho’s shoulder. He was going to cherish the moment for a bit longer when Yoogeun suddenly jumped when his food was served on the table.
***
Yoogeun was sleeping on Minho’s arms when they finally got back. Taemin kept asking him if Yoogeun was heavy and offered to switch carrying him, but Minho refused. He didn’t know why, but he loved the sensation of them walking side by side with Yoogeun in his arms. It made him felt like they’re a family. He’s the father, Taemin’s the beautiful mother and Yoogeun’s their beautiful son.
A bit tired from the long journey for the day, Taemin cling to Minho’s arm affectionately. This, Minho loved even more.
“Are you sure you don’t wanna come in?”, Taemin asked when they arrived at his house.
“Nah, I’ll pass for today. I’ll come by tomorrow,” Minho smiled and gazed at the sleeping figure. “He’s so cute.”
“He is, isn’t he?”, Taemin beamed at him and sighed. “You know what? I’m glad it’s you, Hyung.”
Minho raised his brows, not sure if he understands.
“I mean...just like I said, Yoogeun would snap at the people who try to get closer to me. You’re close to me, so...I’m glad... I mean, if he gave in to someone else that I’m not even close of, I’m not sure if I would...”
Taemin puffed his cheeks, sighing in frustration.
“I mean, what I’m trying to say is-“
He was silenced by a gentle kiss to his lips. Both of them held their breath, and the touch of Minho’s lips was the only warm thing he felt right now, including the flutter on his chest. They separated for a second, before Minho captured his lips again, this time more passionate, and Taemin shyly return the kiss. Minho opened his eyes during the kiss, loving the blur view of Taemin closing his eyes with a slight blush. When they were apart again, and was about to start a heated kiss, something was between their lips, and turned out it was Yoogeun’s small hand.
They both blinked and pulled away.
Yoogeun raised his hand as wall between their face. “Kiss!”
Taemin blushed furiously and covered his face with both hands. “Y-Yoogeunie!”
Minho grinned. He leaned down and kissed Yoogeun on the forehead. “There. You’ve been kissed.”
The kid frowned and pouted. “Minho Oppa kissed Minnie-hyung differently!”
“That’s because, it’s the kiss Minho Oppa would give to Minnie-hyung only.”
“Come on Yoogeunie, Minho-hyung is going home,” Taemin, still blushing grabbed Yoogeun into his arms. “Now say goodbye to Hyung.”
Yoogeun wailed cutely and extended his arms to reach Minho. “Minho Oppaaaa~~~~”
Taemin sighed as Minho once again hugged Yoogeun. “Yoogeunie, if you’re being a good boy, you’ll see Oppa again tomorrow.”
“Pwomise?”, he was sniffing.
“Promise,” Minho touched his chest as a promise. The kid giggle and hugged him tightly. “I should be going now,” he kissed Yoogeun’s forehead once again, and without the kid knowing, leaning forward to peck Taemin’s lips. He put Yoogeun down on to the ground and waved before walking away.
Taemin felt his heart filled with a warm feeling and smiled as he touched his lips. He then turned to the excitedly waving Yoogeun. “Now let’s take a bath.”
***
Taemin pulled the blanket over Yoogeun’s body and kissed him goodnight. “Goodnight, Yoogeunie.”
“Minnie-hyung?”
“Yes?”
“Is Minho Oppa your husband?”
Taemin felt his cheeks reddened by the innocent question from the kid. He must’ve been thinking him and Minho were like his Appa and Umma. Moreover because of the kiss he saw. He knew for a fact that Yoogeun likes to be kissed by his parents. So he tried to answer it as casual as possible. “Err... Not yet, Yoogeunie.”
“When will you be like Appa and Umma?”
Taemin’s lips grew into a smile. “Only if you let him to. Do you like him?”
“Yes, I like Minho Oppa a lot!”
“Good... Now do you let me date him?”
Yoogeun nodded excitedly. “Minho Oppa can date Minnie-hyung!”
“Then I will,” Taemin couldn’t hide his smile. “Now go to sleep, we’ll meet Key-hyu..um, Key and Minho Oppa tomorrow. Okay fangirl? Goodnight Yoogeunie.”
“Goodnight...”, Yoogeun hugged Taemin tightly, yawned and curled under the blanket. He slowly drifted to sleep and a minute later, he’s already in his dreamland.
Taemin smiled at the sight, turning off the lamps and started to giggle like a fangirl.
“Minho Oppa!”, he imitated Yoogeun. He was surely gonna tease Minho about that tomorrow.
End.
