OMG HMMMMMMM,,, my controversial take is i am like not a fan of reading about mean men in general LMAO. i love when minho is soft and cute from the jump and they're just immediately obsessed with each other even if there's pining or yearning or confusion or internalized homophobia or whatever... SORRY that's corny but it's how i feel!! THAT BEING SAID

https://archiveofourown.org/works/87121796 this might fit the bill? minho is a radio host who hates on the hockey team jisung is on while on-air so there's a lot of good bickering at first. they are very very cute.

also, i really am enjoying the code of conduct series, but minho's not fully nice yet LMAO, since it's still ongoing. i recommend this user in general a lot! https://archiveofourown.org/series/4713643

and then gone fishing is straightsung x minho who doesn't really respect him at first and tries to catfish him, i wouldn't say he's really MEAN, just skeptical? but it's very lovely https://archiveofourown.org/works/80983816

SORRY I COULDN'T HELP TOO MUCH WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE I AM SOFT! if anyone sees this please drop recs!

HARD TO PICK JUST ONE but/so i will go with the LONGEST fic i read this year which was also LIFE-CHANGING and it is.....

Root Rot! https://archiveofourown.org/works/47045674/

it's an ot8 fic and every POV is so well-done and distinct and interesting... i love the way the storylines develop and intersect over time.... the plot and pacing is perfect, the humor the angst the romance the friendship the found family... the life lessons.... it's a really beautiful and also fun story and everyone should read it today! call in sick and read it

i want to read more super long ones like this so feel free to recommend me some if anyone is reading this too! there is something so satisfying about spending time with characters for that long

yessssss i'm so glad you asked!!!! here are a few that come to mind!!

shorter ones/pwps:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/61378723 sweet soft mpreg mimo
https://archiveofourown.org/works/36412042 quite popular but it's monsterfucking and oviposition so you may not have read it? lmao
https://archiveofourown.org/works/48801667 free use minho x 3racha
https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/80653582 from 2021 so maybe you have not read it either?
https://archiveofourown.org/works/80710431 alpha minho but vers minsung with a subbier minho, this one deserves way more love!

longer ones:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/51665206 super long vers arirang, such a wonderful fic, i think about minho's nipple piercing in this fic every day of my life like i pray to it before every meal it's that serious to me.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/69072361 another super underrated minsung one from last year's slickfest, if you want something longer with more worldbuilding, so pretty
https://archiveofourown.org/works/73774731 you've probably already read this one but this fic singlehandedly made me like mpreg, it's the omega minho ever to me i love this fic sooooo much.

i hope you find one that you like and haven't read from these! i want to do a deep dive for some more niche ones now one day so stay tuned
