According to Kim Jongin, love at first sight does not just happen. To actually fall in love with someone, Kim Jongin believes, takes exactly 15 minutes.

He doesn’t mean to be cynical or absurd when he says this, it’s just that the only time in his life he did fall in love was when he met Do Kyungsoo, and it had taken him precisely 15 minutes to fall in love with said boy, and another half an hour to convince him to go out on a date with him.

He had first seen the boy at one of Chanyeol’s infamous dorm parties, holding a disgruntled Baekhyun in a chokehold, and wondered to himself how anybody could be so adorable looking so grumpy.

Fights between the two were not a regular occurrence, and it only happened every now and then when they fought over what to have for dinner or what movie to pick.

They complemented each other in many ways as well. Kyungsoo’s grumpiness always seemed at bay when Jongin was around, while Jongin had become a cheesy romantic, his bad-boy phase completely disappearing into thin air.

Their university years had been the golden years of their relationship, filled with love, laughter, good friends and memories that lasted forever.

So, it hadn’t really been a shock for anyone when an extremely nervous and jitte
