Prologue; 

I wasn’t extraordinary, I wasn’t magnificent with all these nooks and crannies in my soul just waiting to be discovered and explored. I didn’t have a long list of deep meaningful words trailing along behind me like a shadow. I wasn’t dull but I wasn’t colorful either, I was but a mere sketch of something unoriginal and meaningless. Only to have a lone empty sentence as a description.

I wasn’t like her.

She was everything I wasn’t, she was everything I opted to be. She was someone that I wanted to keep forever but something that just couldn’t be contained.

She was beautiful.

Taeyeon taught me how to live. My time staying abroad in Tokyo for an exchange program I was forced into, I didn’t know how I would fit in. I didn’t think I would and I was right. I didn’t fit in but then neither did Taeyeon, she lived by her own set of rules and danced to her own beat.

She was extraordinary, she was magnificent.

She was everything I wasn’t.

Loving Taeyeon was like dancing on thin ice. It rendered me cautious. I didn’t know when the solid ground beneath me would just collapse and I would just—fall.
