hi. loved your minhyun college!au. can i request for tutor!minhyun whom your mother hired since you're struggling with a certain subject. something like tutor to lover. thank you btw! ♡
hi anon, thank you so much for being the first request i’ve gotten and i’m glad you enjoyed the college!au, it really means a lot to me!
Hwang Minhyun Tutor!AU
Tumblr media
it’s your final year of high school and you really want to get into a good university but one of your subjects in particular is dragging you down
it’s chemistry btw (i hate chem lol)
because your teacher sucks and does not help at all 
so you’re complaining to your mum about it and she’s like “I’ll get you a tutor”
and you absolutely refuse, you’d rather try learn it all by yourself than get a tutor
because one of your friends had a tutor for maths and apparently she was super intimidating and the sessions were overpriced af
but nothing stops your mother once she’s decided on something
a couple of weeks later you’re coming home from school
and your mum is sitting in the kitchen with a young man
you don’t think too much of it, like you just assume it’s one of your brother’s friends or someone 
but you don’t want to be rude so you just nod your head and give them a smile
the guy doesn’t exactly return the smile, but they still give you a nod back
it’s a bit awkward and you don’t want to continue the awkward eye contact 
because his gaze is so cold and piercing, you’re a bit flustered
it’s a Friday afternoon, you’re exhausted and you can’t wait to just relax and enjoy the weekend
so you quickly grab an apple from the kitchen bench, and turn to head back to your room, but your mum is like “where are you rushing off to y/n?”
and you turn round with your mouth full of apple like ???
“this is your chem tutor, Minhyun. Minhyun, this is my daughter, y/n, I hope she pulls her act together for you and….”
your eyes widen because you were not prepared for this at all
you were not expecting someone….as visually stunning as Minhyun
which you then are ashamed of yourself for thinking because hey, tutors can be hot too, you cant just dismiss them like that 
but Minhyun is like god level, your ideal type visuals so you’re just a tad stunned
you’re caught up in your own thoughts because you hear your mother sigh loudly before telling Minhyun that you have a tendency to zone out mid conversation
and Minhyun laughs
and his laugh is sO BEAUTIFUL
it’s such a genuine, happy laugh, which is a contrast to the cold first impression you got when you had the stare down less than a minute prior
but, back to business, you start your first chemistry tutorial with him 
and you realise that wow, without a tutor you probably would’ve failed
Minhyun is really clear and concise, and you’re a bit embarrassed by how little you know
But he’s super understanding
“chem is hard y/n, don’t worry I struggled at first when I did it last year”
he says as he blinks 10x a second
you note down somewhere in the back of your head that he’s only a year older than you lol it’s useful info to have you know, who even needs chemistry
“how did you get so good at it then?”
“uhhhm, I listened to my tutor?”
“don’t lie, you’ve always been good at chem, haven’t you?”
he looks away in embarrassment and nods
the first tutorial goes smoothly, he refreshes your memory on the basics 
your mother brings the two of you some fruit and snacks to eat while you study
and you notice that Minhyun’s a really polite and nice guy
like after the two of you had finished eating he had gotten up and was going to go wash the dishes you’d used
“Minhyun it’s fine really, I’ll wash them later, just leave them”
but he insisted on washing them, and there was no stopping him
The next few tutorials went well and you feel like you’re slowly starting to get the hang of chemistry
and you’re also getting more comfortable around Minhyun and vice versa
conversations aren’t awkward anymore and you find out a bit about him
He’s in his first year of uni and studying health sciences, which surprises you because you wonder how he has time to be a tutor and study
Minhyun just shrugs it off, but from then on you notice whenever his dark circles are clearer than usual
or when he asks you if it’s okay for him to eat his food he brought with him because he didn’t have time to during lunch
but he never complains about being tired at all unlike you lol
and over time Minhyun practically becomes your confidante, and you tell him a lot of your concerns about school and your future etc
he gives you really good advice, and always listens to every word you say and takes it all in like a sponge
So usually you have your tutorial sessions in the dining room
But one day your mum had guests over so she ushered the two of you into your room
you only have one chair in your room though so before that you had to go into your younger brother’s room to get a chair for Minhyun to sit on
His room lowkey stresses you out though because it’s as if a wild animal has torn through the room with dirty clothes and books strewn everywheRE
Minhyun follows behind you, and when he sees your brother’s room you swear his eyebrow started twitching
“uh, yeah sorry, please ignore my brother’s mess of a room, it’s actually disgraceful”
Minhyun looks at you in concern
“Please tell me your room isn’t like this too.”
you have never been more thankful to yourself because you like to keep your room clean and organised.
when you two sit down in your room, Minhyun breathes out a very audible sigh of relief
and you can’t help but laugh at how adorable he is
Minhyun doesn’t know why your laughing at him but he does know that he really likes your laugh
your brother comes home a little while later and he barges into your room demanding where his chair is
and he sees Minhyun and proceeds to freak the f uck out
“HYUNG!!!”
Minhyun’s eyes widen and he looks back and forth between you and your brother like a deer caught in headlights
“oh my god y/n, your little brother is Yoo Seonho????
that’s when you realise that this Hwang Minhyun, your chem tutor, is the same “Minhyunnie Hyung” that your little brother idolises so much
From then on Seonho tries to crash your tutorial sessions much to your dismay, so your mother decides to permanently move the tutorial sessions to your room
You apologise so much to Minhyun
“if you’re uncomfortable we can meet in the library instead?” 
“Seriously y/n i’m fine! If you want to move to the library, we can, but it’s probably more convenient for both of us to just continue having them at your house”
He’ll usually make sure that you’re listening to his help and that you’re studying for the two hour sessions you have
But sometimes he comes over a bit earlier or stays a bit later and the two of you have good chats and eat snacks and drink tea because you both dislike coffee
sometimes you feel bad for rambling on about your worries to him because he must have worries too and you dont want to dump it all on him
so you decided that the next tutorial you wouldn’t talk as much and just focus on chemistry
and as you’re finishing up for that day, you start clearing up your books but Minhyun looks at you in concern
“are you alright y/n? you haven’t said much today”
tbh you’re surprised he even noticed 
“I just thought that you’re probably sick of hearing about my life every week..”
“I like listening to you talk about anything though”
His ears go as pink as your blushing face, and you both shy away
Around university exam time Minhyun had to take a break as your tutor in order to focus on his studies
but he felt really bad so he made you a little care package and he came round in the weekend to personally deliver it to you 
and it had all his chemistry notes and your favourite snacks and chocolates
he had even put a little fox plushie in because he said it resembles him
and when he gave it to you, you were so touched
the funny thing is that you had made him a similar care package too (minus the chem notes lol), to cheer him on for his exams
and the two of you were a blushing mess when you gave them to each other
like it’s become so obvious that the two of you like each other
Minhyun gives you a quick hug before he turns to leave and is about to get in his car
but he has second thoughts and turns around
“um, y/n…after my exams, do you want to go on a date with me? 
After his exams (which went well ofc), you start dating, and you go on little dates here and there
the two of you try to keep it a secret from your mum and Seonho
but one day your mother asks if Minhyun wants to stay for dinner to thank him for being such a good tutor and boyfriend to you
the two of you were originally going to go watch a movie that night but because you were now stuck at home to eat dinner you didn’t see a reason why minhyun shouldn’t join your family
lol regrets
because minhyun can’t lie for shit remember (you’re not that much better either)
he’s so suspicious at dinner and keeps blinking constantly your mother can see right through the two of you
and then she dead ass asks “so how’s the dating going?”
and minhyun replies “it’s good!” before realising that she said dating not tutoring and he’s like asdfghjkl shit.
Seonho is horrified but your mum loves it, she thinks Minhyun is perfect boyfriend material and was hoping something might happen between the two of you wow matchmaker mother in the house
However, Minhyun still insists on being the absolute professional when he tutors you
but he’ll schooch his chair closer to yours
or feed you fruit when you’re busy writing stuff down
and sometimes he’ll hold your hand under the table
or sneak in a kiss here and there
he also cleaned Seonho’s room “it’ll be good bonding time!”
and one time he fell asleep on your bed after a long day at uni and you didn’t have the heart to wake him up because he had been so tired and he looked like such an angel and you realised then that you really really love him so much because how can someone be so perfect 
you end up falling asleep at your desk but when you wake up the next morning you’re all warm and snuggled up in his arms in your bed and he kisses your forehead and gives you the sweetest eye smile that you feel like melting and you can’t help thinking at that exact moment that you’re the luckiest person in the world
