prologue
Dianthus BoyLoves comes in many different forms.
Love comes from the soft kisses that Kyungsoo’s mother would plant on his forehead after he skinned his knee on the sidewalk, the warm blanket and even warmer hot cocoa that he and his older brother used to drink after playing in the snow, the strong arms his father would use to hoist him into the air.
Love comes from his best friend Chanyeol, screaming his name in the school hallways and pushing past the crowd to manhandle Kyungsoo into a suffocating hug. Love also comes from his other best friend Luhan, who had to move away in middle school to some city in China that Kyungsoo had never heard of but who never failed to call him every year at midnight to wish him a happy birthday.
Love comes from Kim Jongin.
And Do Kyungsoo gives as much love as he can back to Kim Jongin.
But though their love for each other neither wavered nor faded, there are so many places in this world where people can accidentally stumble into. And when it’s time to crawl out, they find themselves a little banged up and smudged all over with a new, different shade of love.
Sometime in the chaos of their individual lives, Jongin and Kyungsoo both fell down the rabbit hole, one after the other. They both emerged, new light in their eyes, fresh excitement in their voices.
Jongin fell in love with dance.
Kyungsoo fell in love with Seoul National University.
This is the story of these two boys and all of their love.
