Dire Plaits

Description

To raise his children well, single father Jongdae is determined to develop whatever skills he needs to, even if that means staying up late crouching over a giant doll head, watching how-to-braid videos over and over. At least the guy on Jongdae’s favorite YouTube channel is highly skilled and clearly explains techniques in his native tongue. It’s completely irrelevant that MinStyle is also extremely attractive.

Author's Notes

I promise this is a cute, fluffy fic despite the warnings! There is a bit of angst, but mostly it's about family, healing, moving on, allowing oneself to ask for help and to pursue one's own happiness. Also hair braiding, unusual pets, and ballet. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Man...it's just too cutee... Would have liked to see the interaction between MinStyle with the other two of "love triangle" *wink* but not complaining :-)))

Chapter 1: Jongdae as a dad was so endearing, you managed to make him sweet, strong and very, very sad. Whe Minseok was flirting with him and he was just rationalizing everything I was screaming in mi head "no, no, Minseok is not being nice, he wants you, you dork!" Lol.
Thank you for sharing with us.
