electric (prequel to who waits for love)
Description
Before the pain, there is pleasure.
Taemin very apathetically awaits the arrival of the new student. He isn't looking forward to sharing his living space with a stranger, to be honest. Or at least he thinks he isn't looking forward to it. However, in walks scrawny, youthful, redheaded Hyukjae, who might just change his mind. Unfortunately, this isn't a love story.
Foreword
TRIGGER WARNING: COARSE LANGUAGE
If you haven't already guessed, this piece is titled "Electric" because that's the track that comes before "Who Waits For Love" on SHINee's album, The Story of Light. The lyrics of Electric also fit the theme of this piece, so I highly encourage you to search it up before reading this. In Who Waits For Love, I gave Hyukjae and Donghae's story a background to give readers an idea of what led Hyukjae to his plight, but felt that I didn't quite give Taemin a proper backstory. I hope this piece develops the history between Taemin and Hyukjae better (to prepare you for the sequel) and explains why Taemin's view of Donghae later leads to his resentment towards the latter.
Also, this piece is likely going to be written as a chaptered fic, but I'll try my best to keep it succinct. There will most likely be three chapters in total, and I plan to add the other two chapters later, one chapter a week. Let me know what you think of it in the comments so I have a better idea of how to draft out the final sequel.
THIS FIC IS PART OF A 3-PART SERIES:
