That Stupid List (A Seventeen Fanfic)

Chapter 70: When I Fall

Seeing Mingyu again after Wonwoo realized that he was falling for him just made Wonwoo all the more certain that he was. Mingy had suddenly become alluring to him, and seeing him made Wonwoo feel like jelly inside.

"I have something to show you," Mingyu said with a proud grin on his face after greeting him. Mingyu went to his desk drawer and pulled out what seemed to be a magazine. Wonwoo immediately knew that this was the magazine in which their modeling photos have been published.

Mingyu held the magazine to his stomach protectively, the grin still on his face as Wonwoo waited eagerly to see it.

"Let me see," Wonwoo said holding out his hand.

Mingyu slowly revealed the cover to Wonwoo, and Wonwoo's jaw dropped as he snatched it from Mingyu's hand to look at the cover more carefully.

There, on the cover of the magazine, was a photo of both Wonwoo and Mingyu, standing back-to-back. Mingyu's shirt was open and so his chest showed, making the image all the more appealing. Wonwoo, however, looked extremely flustered in that photo, as he was when he did the shoot. Mingyu had this grin on his face as his neck turned slightly to side-eye Wonwoo. The photo was clearly meant to depict not only the clothes, but also them as characters: Wonwoo, the shy, insecure boy with his head hung low and his hands over his chest, and Mingyu, the tall, confident, experienced model. There was a contrast there that was ever so apparent, but it made for quite a cover-worthy photograph.

"I had never been on a cover before," Mingyu revealed proudly. "It's a big deal for a model to make it on a cover of a magazine. Models have been working all their lives to get a cover you know? This is amazing for us, because it means casting calls and more modeling opportunities for the both of us."

Wonwoo looked at the image again. He still had not processed the image let alone everything that Mingyu was revealing to him. He was on the cover of a magazine; he had not prepared himself for something like that. And now Mingyu was already talking about casting calls and more modeling?

"I don't know what to say," Wonwoo said as he looked at the cover again.

"Do you like it?"

Wonwoo nodded. It really was an undeniably striking photo with such character embedded into it, and it made Wonwoo want to look at it for a long time. (Also, Mingyu looked hot.)

"Here, let me show you the spread," Mingyu took the magazine from Wonwoo's hands and flipped through the pages to the spread, which had a couple more pictures of both Wonwoo and Mingyu, and three photos of the two of them together. There was one in which both of them were shirtless, one in which Mingyu had his hand over Wonwoo's shoulders, and another with both of them sitting side to side against a wall.

Wonwoo loved them. He loved the pictures, and he loved that most of them were with Mingyu. He loved how hot and confident Mingyu looked, and how shy but attractive he himself looked. He loved the eye make-up, the clothes, the feel of the spread, and the fact it tied him inextricably to Mingyu.

He was also happy that his involvement in the shoot helped earn Mingyu the cover of a magazine. At least, in some way, he was able to repay his debt to Mingyu.

-

Mingyu had to go to his chemistry labs to get a report done, and Wonwoo offered to go with him as he himself needed to get to the library to catch up with all of the work he missed while on the trip. And so they walked together, Wonwoo telling Mingyu about the trip.

Mingyu seemed especially interested in how Sena was doing, and Wonwoo was not sure if it was because he liked her or because he was just concerned for her. He figured it was probably a combination of both.
