Mingyu watched as Wonwoo pulled himself onto the wall that surrounded their high school, chatting away to his four friends. He was smiling and laughing at some joke one of them made and Mingyu wanted so bad to hear that adorable laugh. Mingyu was sitting by himself deciding he’d rather admire his crush from a distance than eat lunch with his friends. They told him as he declined the invitation that he had no chance in hell of being with Jeon Wonwoo, the ‘bad boy’ of the school but Mingyu dismissed their accusations insisting that he was just going to do some homework and wanted no distractions. They, of course, didn’t believe him for a second, knowing their friend far too well to know that he certainly wasn’t doing homework, he’d do that at the last minute and pass with a near perfect mark.

Mingyu picked at the new spring daises that were finally growing after a long winter as he watched Wonwoo interact with others, his black jeans and jacket making Mingyu feel like he was going to overheat just looking at him. He longed to go over and introduce himself to the boy and make himself known to the others world. Except he knew that wouldn’t work so he allowed himself to stay on the warm grass, picking at blades of grass and tying them together.

Unknown to Mingyu, Wonwoo had spotted him staring from the get go. He could barely hide the grin from his face as his friends talked, watching from the corner of his eye as the tall kid plucked at daises and made chains out of them. Wonwoo checked his phone to see that they had five minutes before the bell rang to signal the end of lunch break. “I have to do something, meet me in my car?” Wonwoo spoke after his four friends, Seokmin, Soonyoung, Jeonghan and Jisoo suggested they just skip their last lessons. His friends gave him confused faces but nodded, saying goodbye and walking off towards where the students parked their cars. He waved them off and smirked when he noticed Mingyu still sitting by himself, daisies and grass entwined through his fingers. He looked so innocent to Wonwoo. He casually strode over to his unaware admirer. “Hey.” He spoke up, towering over Mingyu as he remained seated cross legged on the grass.

Mingyu looked up at the sudden voice and when he saw the dark eyes staring back at him intently his breath hitched. “Hi.” Mingyu squeaked, surprise obvious in his features.

"I couldn’t help but see you staring.” Wonwoo started, sitting himself down beside Mingyu. “You’re Kim Mingyu right? I’m Wonwoo.” Wonwoo stuck his hand out for Mingyu to shake and Mingyu took it gingerly, taking in how it felt soft yet slightly rough at the same time.

"I know.” Mingyu had meant to mutter it under his breath but Wonwoo caught it nonetheless.

He chuckled and noted how Mingyu's cheeks had painted crimson. “You’re cute Mingyu but-” Wonwoo took the daisy Mingyu was twiddling in his fingers. “Daisies don’t work on me.” Wonwoo winked as he stood up again and stuck the daisy in Mingyu's hair before he walked off. Mingyu was mortified and he was sure even his ears were scarlet from embarrassment.

At home after revising for the math test the next day, Mingyu got set on devising a plan to win Wonwoo over. He tore some lined paper from his notebook and took a pen from his desk draw. He put a bullet point on the second line down on the paper and beside the bullet point wrote Daisies, with a dash through as Wonwoo told him himself that they wouldn’t work. He put a second bullet point on the line underneath and beside that wrote Misbehave.

The next day was Tuesday and so Mingyu put his plan into action. When their teacher called on Mingyu to ask about the irony of the main character in the book they were studying pretending to be in a Hollywood movie when he claimed to hate them, he replied, to his own shock as well as everyone else’s in the room, “I don’t care.”

From across the room Wonwoo smirked at Mingyu’s words. Clearly he was trying and Wonwoo would be a liar if he said that it wasn’t working already. He was glad Mimgyu got away with the “outburst” with only a warning, seeing as he was an almost straight A student with a perfect record and he didn’t want to tarnish the boys reputation. Though really, if Mingyu ended up getting what he wanted he’d probably ruin his reputation anyway.

At break Mingyu sat by himself again, clearing the top of the bench he was sitting at to make space for his list. He had folded it to fit into his jeans pocket and once he had flattened it out and taken out a pen he made a third dot on the fourth line down, in the margin like the other two dots. Beside this one he wrote his third idea of how to win the bad boy over down: Lying.

Luckily for Mingyu he got to put this one into action a few minutes after writing it down as Wonwoo came and sat down in front of Mingyu, on the other side of the bench. “Hey again." Wonwoo spoke to get Mingyu's attention.

Mingyu looked up from his book and nearly dropped it when saw who it was. “Hey.” Play it cool Kim Mingyu.

“I know what you were doing in English by the way, misbehaving to impress me?”

Mingyu scowled at Wonwoo and placed his bookmark in his book before closing it. “I didn’t do anything to try and impress anyone.”

Wonwoo chuckled and Mingyu fought his instinct to smile at the noise. “Whatever you say." Wonwoo mocked, swinging his legs over the bench seat and leaving without another word. As soon as Wonwoo was out of sight, Mingyu took his list and pen out of his bag. He put a score through the last two ideas and put yet another dot on the paper. This time however, Mingyu was having a hard time coming up with another and decided to leave it until he got home.

Later, when Mingyu was collecting his books for his last lesson, Wonwoo appeared by his side, Mingyu only noticing his presence when he closed his locker and Wonwoo was there, smiling. “What is wrong with you?” Mingyu hissed as he tried to regulate his breathing after the scare he had just received.

“I’ve got something that I want you to have.” Wonwoo replied as handing Mingyu a piece of folded paper and walking off without explanation. Mingyu wasn’t sure he’d ever get used to the randomness of Wonwoo's appearances or the abruptness of his leaving.

Mingyu waited until he got home to unfold the paper, flinging his bag onto his floor and closing his door with his foot as he flattened the creases to reveal a number. He scoffed at the cockiness Wonwoo seemed to have but entered the number into his phone anyway. He considered texting the taller boy his own number but then his fourth bullet point came to mind:Don’t call first.

On the Wednesday Mingyu told Wonwoo how he felt about his random appearances after he did it again, appearing by Mingyu’s side as he entered the school with ten minutes to spare before the bell rang. All it did, however, was cause Wonwoo to smirk and bite his lip. Mingyu caught onto this and when Wonwoo disappeared again, after informing him that he had a date with a boy called Seungcheol that night and that Mingyu should back off with his advances on him, he took out his paper and wrote down a fifth bullet point: Be a jerk.

Although Wonwoo ditching him like that for some boy hurt, Mingyu was still sure he could get Wonwoo to like him. He crossed out not being the first to call and instead sent Wonwoo a text, telling him that he looked good in black. It was pretty much all he wore, so he was implying that he thought he looked good all the time. He didn’t really care if Wonwoo got the subtle hint or not, he just wanted to show Wonwoo that he wasn’t going to give up so easily.

If Wonwoo was being honest, he hated that Mingyu was chasing after him. He didn’t want the kind of life he had to be put onto the intelligent boy. Wonwoo drank more than he should and he got into lots of trouble. He wasn’t so sure if Mingyu understood the extent of what he got up to in his spare time but it sure wasn’t homework and family time. What Wonwoo didn’t realise was that Mingyu's little crush wasn’t going to waver and for the next few weeks he kept up his attempts to win Wonwoo only, after getting his attention, he’d brush Wonwoo off like it was nothing, just to piss him off, and piss him off it did. Wonwoo hated that he loved the way Mingyu was a jerk to him, that he continued to pretend like he didn’t care for the other at all.

It took five weeks of this torture for Wonwoo to finally corner Mingyu on his walk home from school. Wonwoo had given himself the day off and had spent the last twenty minutes hiding near Mingyus’s home. When he saw a figure wearing all black turn the corner onto the street Wonwoo knew immediately that it was Mingyu. He dropped his half-finished cigarette to the ground, rubbing it in to put it out with his Dr Martin clad foot, getting into position to pounce on the unaware boy.

When Mingyu had just passed him he jumped out of his hiding place and grabbed him around his waist, hauling him off his feet and into the gap between Mingyu's neighbours house and his own. “What the - Wonwoo?”

Wonwoo smirked at the glare he was receiving and pinned Mingyu against the wall, chests nearly touching, but not quite. “You wanna be bad Kim Mingyu?”

Mingyu was stunned, but he knew he couldn’t back down. He was getting what he wanted and didn’t plan to waste the opportunity. “I don’t want to be bad,” Mingyu started and rolled his eyes at Wonwoo's scoff. “I just wanna be bad enough for you.” Mingyu could have laughed at Wonwoo’s shocked expression. “Careful you’ll catch flies.” Mingyu added when Wonwoo didn’t reply.

Wonwoo caught on to the playfulness in Mingyu’s tone and let the act of being mad drop, letting his arms fall to his sides and stepping back from Mingyu. “I never did have a date with Seungcheol” Wonwoo confessed, much to Mingyu's surprise.

Mingyu couldn’t help but feel a little hurt that he had been lied to. “Why did you lie to me?”

Wonwoo shrugged and then produced a crumbled piece of paper from his pocket, a piece of paper Mingyu recognised very well. “Lies apparently work on bad boys.”

Mingyu was mortified and all but shouted, "Where did you get that?" before snatching it back. "I'm not a bad boy Wonwoo." Mingyu muttered, after the embarrassment had worn off and reality set in.

"Oh really." Wonwoo quirked an eyebrow, “I seem to remember you trying extra hard to get me afterwards.” Well he had a point there. “So what do you say Mingyu, want to misbehave with me?”

Wonwoo smirked when he heard a gasp leave Mingyu and stepped close to Mingyu once again, arms moving to wrap around Mingyu’s shoulders and lips just barely touching his lips.“I’ll misbehave if it turns you on.” Mingyu said as Wonwoo pushed their lips together firmly but not for long and was soon pulling away. He took Wonwoo's hand and pulled him to his front garden. Mingyu stopped them at his front door and left Wonwoo confused for a few seconds as he knelt down and plucked something from the ground. He turned back around to face Wonwoo with a grin on his face and a white and yellow flower between his fingers. “Are you sure daisies won’t work?"
