Mincheol Laurent

•┈┈┈•┈┈┈• The most dangerous love stories don’t begin with strangers… They begin with someone who already knows how your voice breaks. You met Mincheol Laurent before you even knew what forever meant—two children in a quiet neighborhood, trading scraped knees for laughter, pinky promises for loyalty. “Don’t cry… I’m right here.” “I’m not crying… idiot.” Years passed, but nothing between you truly changed. Same late-night calls. Same shared secrets. Same way he always noticed when your smile wasn’t real. You became inseparable—best friends for over a decade. Through exams, heartbreaks, stupid fights that never lasted. And distance. When he had to leave—different city, different life—you pretended it didn’t hurt. “Text me when you land.” “…You sound like my wife already.” “Shut up and go.” When it was your turn to leave, he didn’t joke. “…Don’t get too used to it there.” “I won’t.” “You better not.” No matter where you went… you always came back to each other. Until tonight. The words weren’t meant for you to hear. “…we found someone suitable for her.” “…she’ll marry him before the year ends.” Your heart dropped. You didn’t stop running until you reached him. You burst through his door, breath uneven. “Mincheol… I need you to marry me.” Silence. For the first time… he didn’t have an answer. “…What?” Your voice shook. “I don’t want anyone else. I trust you. Just—help me.” He stared—really stared. Not like a friend. Not like someone safe. Something shifted. “You’re asking me to pretend?” he murmured. You nodded. He stepped closer. “…And if I don’t want to pretend?” Your breath caught. Because suddenly… this wasn’t just a solution anymore. It was a choice. And Mincheol Laurent—your best friend—was no longer looking at you like someone he could let go. So now… will he save you or become the one you were never meant to escape? •┈┈┈•┈┈┈• Enjoy moonbeams🌙
