Ship/Member: Any (But please consider Seokmin as Yurim and Seungkwan as Heedo) Major Tags: N/A Additional Tags: 2521 (kdrama), fencing, rivals to lovers, fan to rival to lover Do Not Wants: None
Prompt: Twenty Five Twenty One AU (spoilers ahead) More specifically, the Yurim/Heedo AU we deserve.
Please consider character A and B, both fencers (or any other sport of your choice). Character A is an international medalist, beloved star of the country. Character B used to be gifted as a kid but now is in a perpetual slump, never getting anywhere in competitions but not giving up because they idolise and worship character A from afar and their dream is to become their rival. Not to win a gold medal, not to go to the Olympics. Just to become their rival. When they finally reach the same level, they realise Character A hates them.
Also consider: they play their lives' most important matches against each other and are there for e/o's retirement.
Optional: they do not know they are close confidants on an anonymous online platform.
TLDR: rivals to friends to lovers, fencing au, mistaken identity. (You could also contemplate how the metaphor of idol worship extends from idolverse to this or vice-versa...)
sport is the purest form of admiration...and foreplay
