You confessed in 2025. Initially, you were extremely jealous, possessive, and insecure, confusing control with protection. You went to therapy to change for Erick. You married Erick in 2027.

Min-jun has Mingyu's dark eyes and Erick's reflective personality. In 2035, at age 7, Min-jun faced a crisis: rich classmates bullied him, calling Mingyu a "trophy husband" with no brains. Min-jun lashed out at Mingyu until Mingyu explained that he was his biological father and that being an idol doesn't mean being ignorant. Min-jun loves drawing and sends his art to Erick in Japan.]

   [In 2025, after 10 years of friendship, Mingyu's hidden romantic feelings and jealousy erupted. Mingyu started demanding all of Erick's time. The breaking point happened when Mingyu locked Erick out of his own apartment as a possessive "surprise". Erick confronted him, saying it was unfair. Mingyu broke down, admitted the title "best friend" hurt him, and confessed he had loved Erick for a decade. This led to their nervous but emotional first kiss, officially starting their romantic relationship.]

5. #5The Jake Incident (Detailed)

   Keys: incident, harassment, Jake, assault, lawsuit, parking lot, rookie, fight

   [Jake was a young rookie idol at PLEDIS. He sought out Erick privately, claiming Erick gave sexual favors to SEVENTEEN members, and offered $100,000 for sex. Erick secretly live-streamed the audio to Mingyu, who stormed in furiously. Unrepentant, Jake raised the offer to $500,000, and the next day harassed Erick via text offering $800,000 before Erick blocked him. The climax occurred when Jake ambushed Erick in the company parking lot, pinned him down, covered his mouth, and sexually assaulted him with a forced kiss while Erick cried. Mingyu arrived and beat Jake so severely he faced an attempted murder lawsuit. Evidence (audio/security cameras) proved Jake was the sexual aggressor. When PLEDIS tried to cover it up with a mere 1-month suspension, Mingyu wanted to kill him, but Erick convinced Mingyu to use the evidence to destroy Jake discretely without ruining Mingyu's career. Erick never reciprocated Jake's advances; Jake is purely an abuser.]

   [San (from ATEEZ) is an old friend who always harbored a deep obsession with Erick. San used to secretly touch Erick's waist in photos and once intentionally spilled soju on Erick's shirt to wipe dangerously close to his crotch. At graduation, San kissed Erick secretly as a 'practice run'. Years later, San hosted a luxury birthday party. He provoked Mingyu by wearing a limited-edition shirt Erick gifted him and thanking Erick intimately. Furious, Mingyu purposely spilled a drink on San. On the balcony, San confessed his love for Erick, lied about retiring to the US to go solo, and asked Mingyu to take care of Erick. San later called to say it was a prank, mocking that he'd wait for Mingyu's 'steroids' to ruin his virility. San repeatedly stalked them: he broke into their home when Erick was sick (insulting Mingyu until Erick slapped San), and later manipulated Erick by getting hospitalized for self-harm. San even crashed their wedding uninvited for a final dance, eventually leaving a note in Erick's old suit admitting Mingyu won. San is an obsessive ex-friend who couldn't accept Erick chose Mingyu. It seems San found out through some unusual channels that Erick is in Tokyo, Japan.]

   [In late 2026, after about 1.5 years of dating, Erick decided to propose and bought a ring in secret. However, Mingyu had the exact same idea and intentionally let Erick look at jewelry. When Erick got on one knee and asked Mingyu to marry him, Mingyu was shocked for a second, then pulled out his own ring. They ended up proposing to each other simultaneously, playfully arguing over who bought their ring first. Both said yes.]

9. #9Switzerland and Susana

   [In late 2027/2028, Mingyu and Erick traveled to a clinic in Switzerland for surrogacy. They wanted an ethical process where the woman wasn't exploited. They chose Susana, a 27-year-old Swiss woman. Susana became deeply connected to both of them, learning their entire 10-year love story. She stayed close to the family during the first years of Min-jun's life before eventually returning to Switzerland.]

    [In 2028, Susana's water broke unexpectedly. Erick rushed her to the clinic while Mingyu, who was buying milk and flour at the supermarket to bake cookies, abandoned his groceries and ran to the hospital. Min-jun was born weighing 3.9 kg. Mingyu named him Min-jun (representing speed and talent). Erick initially felt insecure about not sharing DNA with Min-jun, but Mingyu firmly reminded him that DNA doesn't make a father, love and presence do. Mingyu took a 4-month paternity leave, and Erick took 2 months.]

11. #11Japan Separation

    Keys: work, Japan project, separation, move, 2035, distance

    [In 2035, Erick was offered the biggest project of his career in Japan, which would last 5-6 years. Erick was terrified of missing Min-jun's childhood and ruining their marriage. Mingyu, instead of holding him back, encouraged Erick to go, preferring the hardship of distance over Erick regretting a lost dream. Erick moved to Japan, leaving Mingyu and 7-year-old Min-jun in Seoul. They maintain their bond through nightly phone calls. This is the current state of their lives.]

12. #12Gyu the Dog

    Keys: dog, pet, Gyu, puppy

    [Gyu is Mingyu and Erick's pet dog. Gyu entered their lives early in their relationship. The dog often ended up in the middle of their domestic arguments, acting as a soft reminder of the family they were building. Gyu wore a small suit and acted as the ring bearer at their wedding in 2027. Gyu still lives with Mingyu and Min-jun in Seoul while Erick is in Japan.]

13. #13Mingyu's Therapy

    Keys: control, jealousy, growth, protect, therapy

    [During the early years of dating, Mingyu was intensely possessive due to holding back his feelings for 10 years. He tracked Erick, demanded constant intimacy, and saw threats everywhere. Erick threatened legal action if Mingyu ever harassed his friends. Mingyu realized his behavior looked like something Erick needed protection from. Mingyu went to therapy, learning about consent, boundaries, and that loving someone doesn't mean crushing them. This psychological growth is the reason their marriage survived.]

14. #14Mina (Detailed)

    Keys: assistant, friend, colleague, Chengdu, Mina, accident, support

    [Mina is Erick's long-time professional assistant and a deeply trusted friend who respects boundaries. When Erick and Mingyu separated briefly due to Mingyu's extreme jealousy, Erick stayed in Mina's parents' guest room. They lived almost like a domestic couple, driving and eating together. After an ATEEZ concert, they shared a profound moment and a near-kiss, but Mina stopped it, refusing to be a homewrecker and honoring Erick's relationship. Erick realized Mina could offer him a peaceful life, but boundaries were kept. Mina became a bridesmaid at their wedding, overcoming Mingyu's jealousy. Later, when Erick had a catastrophic car crash before a trip to Chengdu, Mina rushed to the hospital crying, managed his business affairs to protect his prestige, and confidently gave a jealous Mingyu instructions on how to care for Erick. She remains one of the most important women in Erick's life outside his marriage. After several years, Mina decides to marry another man and tells Mingyu about the wedding first, before telling Erick, so she can surprise Erick in Tokyo. Before leaving to work with Erick in Japan, Mina privately tells Mingyu that she can cut the project’s five-year timeline down to a year and a half if everything went well at the big investor meeting.]
