Altered Arrangements

Description

Joon falls in love with his farming friend, Mir, though he knows he can never tell the younger man. Mir has been his best friend for nearly all of his life, attending schools together and even working in the same building later. An arranged marriage by Joon's parents to uphold the family honor and insure financial stability is put into place, topping the list of differences between Joon and Mir. Joon knows he must do what's best for his family and Mir, whom can't possibly have any feelings for him, and go through with the marriage. Unfortunately as the date nears closer Joon realizes he can't fight the love he feels for his best friend and in fact it's only growing stronger.

Foreword

Mir burst into a fit of laughing before speaking, “I’m sure you have, Lee Joon. Come now, don’t you remember how pissed you were that you didn’t break your arm instead?”

 

“I remember you stole my first kiss.” Joon accused with narrow eyes.

 

Mir shrugged his shoulders before defending himself with, “You wouldn’t stop crying, I had to do something.”

 

“Generally, people give each other calming words or rub their back. Just for future reference.” Joon said dryly.

 

“I tried all of that, you just kept crying.” Mir reminded his friend.

 

“Well it hurt!” Joon claimed.

 

“And didn’t I get you to stop crying?” Mir asked, tilting his head to the side to look at Joon’s face.

 

Their eyes met for a few moments before Joon’s cheeks colored and he turned his face away, grumbling to himself. Mir chuckled, bringing his attention back towards the cloudless sky.

 

“I’m sorry I stole your first kiss.” Mir apologized, fighting a giggle.

 

“Nah, it’s alright. Better you than some flimsy bimbo I’ll never see again, right?” Joon joked.

 

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Mir remarked.

Chapter 9: Omo. Daebak!

It's certainly daebak. I read this fic in one go because I couldn't find the heart to stop in the middle. It's beautifully written. And I found it unique; the way you responded to readers' comment. It's not every day I see writer replies to readers' comment. This is the first time I see writer responds not from the 'reply' in the comment box (?).

JooMir is not rushed. Except for the last two chapters, I think. I don't mean to direspect, but I skipped many of the 'M' rated parts :p That ending is cute! Ahaha, those petals~

Thank you for writing this, Author-nim :'3

Chapter 8: No matter how many fanfics I read I always end up coming back to this one, it is a truly beautiful story! Between their love for each other and your writing skills it makes me cry. (the fact that I am a fluff addict may also have something to do with it.)

Chapter 9: OMG. I subscribed to this fic a long time ago, and only now I've managed to read it. Darnit, I should've read it much much sooner!

Gosh. I'm at a loss for words. I'm just so in love with this beautiful story. I'm shedding a few tears here and there, amazed at their love, and of course, your writing skills for making me feel this way. I was already in love with your other awesome work like Detrimental, Collateral Damage and Phoenix. I was used to your heavy drama and complex characters and storylines, so this masterpiece totally threw me off with its simple yet captivating plot, and delectable addictive fluff...the was good too! ;) And special mention to the other awesome characters you've got lined up here, particularly G.O. He was hilarious and dare I say, has the best lines in this story! (even if it's as$-focused lol)

Thank you so much for writing this absolutely wonderful wonderful wonderful JooMi love story! I will definitely re-read this over and over again!

Chapter 9: Okay anyways! So the next thing I was going to say is that I can't even begin to explain my endless hate for Ayumi. She just. I wanted to kill her. My god. FORGETTING HER & MOVING ON. The ___ scene. I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN ALL MY FEELS WITH THAT. That was seriously the best ever. & I HAVE READ A LOT OF . Like too much. & YOURS WAS THE BEST. I mean seriously. That was so beautifully perfect that I just can't. Just oh my shisus. I don't want to go into the details of my feels because that would take the rest of time for me to explain. Just my god. YOU'RE SO GOOD AT IT'S NOT EVEN REAL. Pft. You're so wonderful at writing in general that it's not real. I mean when Mir kissed him at the party... XNSNFKAKJDSAD. The stuff that happened at the bachelor party... XNKAJNSKDALLTHEFEELSICANT. Ahem. & when they were talking about how Mir stole Joon's first kiss! I about died of all the cuteness! & how when they're together, how one of them would blush & kinda avoid the other's gaze & hope to god the other doesn't see the blushing XNASKJFNDKXSA. All of the moments between them before the . & AFTER THE . Just my god. I can't. OMFGD & when Joon was proposing to Mir... I just. I died. I cried actually. It was that beautiful & sweet. I never go crazy over romantic stuff like THAT, but that proposal was... I can't think of any other word besides perfection. It was just so... TOO MANY TEARS WHILE READING. Then the last sentence of this story!!!! OMFSNFKJNSAS. I love how you used "beautifully imperfect picture". That was just so... PERFECT. But yeah. I could seriously type for the rest of my life about my feels & love for this story. This is seriously my favorite from you. & EVERYTHING YOU WRITE IS MY FAVORITE. I'm just going to be a pile of JoonMir fangirl goo by the time I'm done reading all your stuff. It's just so good. I just can't. I literally squeal while I'm reading. UGH. It's just so perfect! I thank you endlessly for writing this! It's too amazing for words!

Chapter 9: MY BELOVED CHINGU, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! This was absolutely beautiful. This is by far my favorite from you. I mean, I'm reading Detrimental & I almost done (I'm on the last chapter & I'll review when I finish!~) & I'M TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THAT ONE, but this is. Wow. Seriously. You are THE BEST writer on here. I can't describe the amount of feels I had while reading this. I mean, just WOW. This was so very well written that I just can't. I could picture everything perfectly. I felt like I was really there, know what I mean? Joon & Mir's friendship was beautiful. I love how you included little flashbacks & mentions from their childhood all the time. Like when they would go, "Do you remember when..." & they just would laugh & reminisce. Beautiful. I also thought how you had Seungho & G.O's relationship unfold was pretty amazing as well. I mean I kinda have always seen that ___ addict personality in G.O. Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly, but I can totally see that in him. Which I'm guessing you feel the same way! G.O also made me laughed sooo much when he would fanboy over all the beautiful ___ at work while Joon & Seungho would just be like... wtf is wrong with you, you need help. That was HILARIOUS. I can't even begin to explain how much I laughed when freaking RAIN hit on Mir. My god, that was funny. Then when you would bring other stars in here was pretty cool! Also when Joon got all protective of Mir, DYING. I love that! Just omf. Then when his parents or anybody, like that stupid fiance trick, would say something about him, he would flip all types of tables & I'm right there with him! That pissed me off so much because that's how my parents & others look at my best friend. I mean she's not a farmer, but she comes out of a pretty terrible background. So I'm pretty much constantly like Joon. But I'm not in love with her. I love my oppas & this EXTREMELY Y korean guy at school. HAHA. Ahem. Back to the story! Uhm, I need to do a second comment actually. XD

This is beautiful. Omo :O I loved soooo much, I can't stop jumping around <3 
hope you update this soon. It's one of my favourites now. 

I can't help but to comment, i feel guilty when i dont. But I'm then like: ........... o.O

cant think of anything decent to write since it won't do any justice.. 

Your JooMi fics make my life really insignificant! I'm so neglecting myself. It's like my life depends on your stories. It's weird, crazy talk that I rather not eat or barely sleep, but i need to read first. XD who cares? It's worth it!!
