ft. cross dressing Kim Jongin

Main character is techinically an OC, but is Kyungsoo? It's hard to explain. 

Inspirations from movie The Village and the play The Drunken City

Pronunciations:
Dêo - said like D.O.

Completely different from Truth's Little Hero, just letting anyone who read that before know lol. This is sweeter, more light hearted. I actually got the inspiration for this back in August (2015)because it was a weird ing dream I had again. So there is Christmas and Valentines involved despite it being March of 2016 loooool.

I love this story. It's beautiful and hella trippy, and your writing style takes my breath away.
Honestly I'd write more about how great it is but I'm on the mobile site (which ) and I'm lazy.
I'll suffice to say that I'll be reccing this fic to anyone that asks for a good read.

Chapter 1: The constant rejection Deo experienced throughout was really heartbreaking, in his original life AND even as Do Kyungsoo?? Heartbreaking. That was quite a brilliant plot and well-written, though I wish we get to know what happened to the real Do Kyungsoo and what happened between Jongin and Deo after he came back to get a better sense of closure. Thanks for sharing!

Chapter 1: I kinda got confused at the ending so did he came back to earth (seoul) as deo and what happened to kyungsoo. I think i confused myself lmao but this was a great story! I enjoyed reading it :< i think you gotta write deo meeting kyungsoo it must be a cute sight to see

Chapter 1: THIS STORY RAISED ME UP THEN SHOVED ME INTO THE ABYSS OF HELL THEN SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL ME BACK OUT OH GOD
I was on such an intense ROLLERCOASTER of emotions throughout the whole story because I was always wondering what would happen next and just when I thought I did I DIDNT BUT YES THIS WAS SO WONDERFUL
I'm dying to know though at the end did the celestial spirit return deo back to Seoul where everyone was and if so is kyungsoo there? bc before that deo saw them meeting each other as they should have before deo took over so wHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN
