Description

Minho's first year at university is a torrential river of ty exams, bad decisions, annoying friends, broken relationships, copious amounts of alcohol and disgustingly unrequited crushes. The only spot of sunshine in his life is that one super cool TA who makes his heart go through some seriously questionable gymnastic routines.

Yoon - he just wants to finish his PhD in peace.

(Not if Song Minho has anything to say about it.)

 

Foreword

Hello there! I wrote this piece on a whim and I decided to put it up because, why the hell not? It's a good distraction from vulture gut enzymes.

This is going to be a University AU based in Cambridge. Yay me!

Mino is a mature student pursuing his BBA at Anglia Ruskin University's International Business School. His chancellor drops a bombshell when she explains that all business students will now have to attend a compulsory course on ecology, conservation and CSR. The professor is strict and the subject matter is boring and 3 classes in, Mino just wants to sleep.

Until Kang Seungyoon turns up to take his professor's place.
 
AKA

Yoon is a student trying to finish his PhD in biology at the Darwin College, University of Cambridge. He takes on the offer to teach classes at Anglia Ruskin as student instructor on environmental studies, his forte. Yoon is passionate about what he teaches, and soon the entire class is enamoured with him.

Especially one Song Minho.

(Take note that the Minyoon will be slow burn, and when I mean slow burn I mean SLOW burn, like the rate of roasting a large mammal with a matchstick.)

Title is from the White Knight's poem in Chapter 8, Alice Through the Looking Glass by C. S. Lewis.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: I love how emotional and heavy the prologue was, an excellent setup if I may add, then here comes chaotic Mino and Jihoon on the current chapter. I have a pretty good feeling about this one. Hope you update soon!

Chapter 2: Also, appreciation for the lovely cover art. Cambridge, books and Minyoon is a deadly combination, my friend. I anticipate what you have next in store.

Chapter 2: Aha, I knew it. This is definitely more your style. The signature asterisk paragraph breaks. Witty dialogue. The broken commentary and internal thoughts. Unreliable narration. Perfect flow.

Minho is all over the place but strangely enough, I love him more for it. And Jihoon is on his way to becoming my favourite character.

Chapter 1: The prologue is very interesting, I like the morose, almost dreamlike quality of it. Though it does seem rather heavy. However, I understand that this is based on past events so the forthcoming chapters must be a lot lighter.

I also like the fact that you're bringing in and re-examining long distance relationships and their faults. I feel bad for Yoon but I also feel like he'll get over it. We'll see.

A reason I love your work is because you're always so detailed. Like, you don't have to be, but you are. The university, the setting in Cambridge, the courses their studying, their motives, their passions - you've built up on all of that here and I'm really happy about it.
