five shots at love

pairing: non-idol!mingyu x gn!reader

prompt: n/a

word count: 8.5k~

warnings: implied relationship abuse (nothing specific, but implied to be mental and potentially physical) for reader + the aftermath of that (anxiety n whatnot) + a therapy mention. ask for additional warnings to be added.

daisy’s notes: this feels not good but it’s genuinely not meant to be as in-depth as i would want tbh. take a mingyu fic.

summary: you don’t believe in love anymore. kim mingyu is set on changing that.

Mingyu was a friend of a friend. You met his roommate, Wonwoo, through a local book club that became a drag fairly early on. The two of you spent one too many meetings pushing any conversation, and one day you pitched the idea to him that the two of you should just ditch it and stay friends. He’d been a little surprised by the remark, but agreed easily enough. Things were boring, after all, and you were probably the only person there he’d want to keep in contact with afterward. The two of you would pick a book, read it throughout the week, and usually meet up at one or the other’s apartments to have a chill conversation with snacks. Pretty early on you ended up meeting Mingyu.

Who, in stark contrast to Wonwoo, was one of the loudest people you’d ever met. But that was okay. He was fun to talk to and friendly as he could be, and also the snacks he made for your meeting were fucking bomb and you were happy to let him cook anytime he felt like it despite the fact he never partook in any discussions (sometimes he piped in if he knew something about the material, but you learned that he was typically too busy with his job in a restaurant to actively read as much as you and Wonwoo did). Ultimately, things were pretty chill.

You were just hanging out with the two of them when the topic came up. Mingyu had turned his question onto you, and you had shrugged.

“I don’t believe in love,” was all that you said.
