A MAN'S DREAM

warning: genderbender (fem!sehun, fem!luhan)

“So, when is the wedding?” Chanyeol asks. It’s been a while since they’ve last met up, and caught up with their own lives, they didn’t keep in contact much. For Junmyeon hyung’s wedding though, of course everyone had to gather despite living all over the world now. Sehee and Jongin have moved to Paris after graduation where Sehee had studied fashion design while Jongin pursued his career as ballet dancer. It was sheer luck that they both got accepted to schools there, and it was even greater luck - though Sehee would insist it’s all thanks to their hard work as well as their raw talents - that they got employed right there in Paris after finishing school.

They’re a dream couple, Jongin thinks, eyes glued to the sight of a smiling bride in fluffy, white gown with her handsome groom right next to her, eyes shining with unshed tears of joy. How he wishes to be in their stead, having his pretty Sehee right next to him.

“Never,” Sehee mumbles from the other side of him, replying to the question he has ignored just earlier.

Chanyeol raises an eyebrow and looks at Jongin, and Jongin can only force a smile that hopefully looks as reassuring as he is imagining it.

He can’t fool Chanyeol of course. Chanyeol is his best best friend, apart from his girlfriend. They grew up together, the three of them, and Chanyeol knows best what Jongin had always dreamed of apart from his passion for ballet, and that i
