Jihoon and Soonyoung get together. Most of Jihoon's footage from In The Soop is with Soonyoung. Soonyoung calls Jihoon jagiya on camera.
The world doesn't end.
Then Seungcheol and Jeonghan announce, cheekily, that they're seeing each other with good feelings. Wonwoo catches Seungcheol monitoring social media in the car, scrolling through the #ì¿±ì • tag on X and seeing the same video of Jeonghan laying his head on Seungcheol's lap from the concert across the multiple posts. There's a soft smile on Seungcheol's face as he watches.
The world still doesn't end.
Wonwoo watches as his members and friends pair up without the world ending. He might have been the one to forge his own path the day he auditioned with Pledis, but he's been happy to follow his members along ever since. They haven't steered him wrong yet.
He meets Mingyu's eyes when he looks from where Jihoon and Soonyoung are monitoring their dance practice leaning into each other like two magnets to where Seungcheol is helping Jeonghan with some of his rehab exercises. Mingyu's smiling at him, wistfully. Wonwoo knows that any expectations Mingyu might have had of romance from Wonwoo have long since settled into contentment at what they have. But sometimes, he sees the longing clear as day on Mingyu's face anyway.
The world didn't end when his members started getting together but it certainly changed. Maybe it's his turn to change the world this time around.

"Hyung, can we get dinner before we go home?" Mingyu asks him, after practice just as Wonwoo's stuffing his practice clothes into his bag.
"Yeah, why not." Wonwoo shoulders his bag. "I took my bike today."
Wonwoo's bike doesn't have any handrails on the back but he can feel Mingyu hesitating to put his hands around his waist as he settles himself behind Wonwoo on the bike. Wonwoo sees Mingyu chewing on his lip from the side view as he considers his options. Wonwoo decides for him and takes his arms to wrap them around him.
"Just hold on tight, okay?" he tells Mingyu.
Over dinner, they talk about Wonwoo's new camera and when they can do a photo walk together, their upcoming schedules and if there will be a chance to go home before they start their military service. It's been a while since they've had dinner with just the two of them. Wonwoo hadn't realized how much he missed it until just now.
"Oh, Minghao said there's a new exhibit opening in DDP next week, if you wanted to go." Mingyu says as he flips the pork on the grill.
Wonwoo had heard about that. It's a lineup of all queer artists and about life before and after the closet.
"Yeah, I was thinking of going when we have our free day." He'd have to go early and mask up but the exhibit looks promising.
"Oh, cool." Mingyu crafts a perfect bite of ssam, dipping sauce, pork belly and condiments. Wonwoo can hear the affected nonchalance in his tone. He can't help but duck his head and hide his grin.
"Would you like to go with me?"
Mingyu blinks at him in surprise. Usually, Wonwoo takes Minghao or Vernon on these museum trips since they're far more likely to be interested so Wonwoo can understand Mingyu's reaction. But he's been waiting for the right time to tell Mingyu about how he feels these last few weeks and the timing had never seemed right. There's no better time than right now.
"I'd love to go with you," Mingyu says, after a beat, clearly pleased at having been asked to go this time.
Wonwoo smiles at him and reaches out his hand to squeeze Mingyu's fingers. "Then it's a date."
*
"The internet tells me that you and Mingyu were out on a date last night," Seungcheol tells Wonwoo with one eyebrow raised. They're recording the tracks for the reverse unit stages for Caratland today and Wonwoo is going right after Seungcheol so it's just the two of them in the studio right now. "Carats are convinced it's someone writing fanfiction though because you were the one asking Mingyu on a date and holding his hand."
"Hah," Wonwoo chuckles. So people did catch that. "They wish it was fiction."
"So you and Mingyu…." Seungcheol trails off, but there's a warm smile on his face. Wonwoo's sure Mingyu's already told him and Jeonghan about their date but Seungcheol is nothing if thorough when checking on the members.
"I finally got my shit together," Wonwoo confirms.
*
Mingyu is on Weverse live when their dinner arrives. Normally Wonwoo would leave Mingyu's share out at the dining table and take his own order to his room so Mingyu can keep going. But he's feeling good today and Mingyu looks so cute watching GoSe and laughing.
He makes a little noise when he sets down their food, just loud enough that hopefully it picks up on the live. Mingyu turns to him right away, expression a little stunned. Wonwoo gives him a thumbs up and points at his phone to let him know that Carats can know he's there, confirming that they still live together. The smile that blooms on Mingyu's face, so radiant and joyful that Wonwoo swears right then and there that he'd do anything to keep it.
*
It becomes easier and easier to be bolder — to let Mingyu's hands linger on him on camera, to join his lives in their shared home, to flirt back even in front of an audience, to reach out when Mingyu extends his hand. That's what Mingyu gives him all the time with every touch and every invitation: a chance at trying bravery.
Seungcheol reports that their fanfiction numbers have skyrocketed. Wonwoo smiles and thinks about the bite marks he left along Mingyu's back while was inside him and the bruises in the shape of Mingyu's fingers on his thighs when they did it the other way around just last night. He's sure there's someone writing about that part of their lives too but it doesn't bother him as much anymore. Not when it's the perfect cover for the very real thing he and Mingyu actually have going on.
*
There's only one more day of Caratland left before he, Soonyoung and Jihoon need to start preparing for their service. All the members have been absolutely incandescent today. It's like an electric current is attached to them all, pushing them to jump higher and sing louder. Nothing could ever be better than being on stage with the members like this.
The members get into formation and then drop to the ground, leaving only Mingyu and Wonwoo standing for their lines in Left & Right. They agreed not to change the lyrics today so it's up to Mingyu and Wonwoo to ad lib any actions for this part.
"Neseul sego go hae," Mingyu sings, eyes locked on to Wonwoo's.
"Hana dul set net." Wonwoo leans in and plants a kiss right on Mingyu's cheek.
The crowd goes fucking wild.
*
Wonwoo and Mingyu get together.
The world doesn't end. It only gets better.
