Author’s note: I started writing this fic in 2016 after watching Yuri on Ice. I can't believe this has taken me three years of procrastination, distraction and working life getting in the way to finish! If you're looking for a quick fluffy fix, I must say this is not the fic for you. This is a sharing of Kyungsoo and Jongin's tough journey through the years, and how they eventually come to find a future in each other. Don't be confused by the flashbacks to their backstory in the earlier chapters. I left them in because I felt it was necessary for you to know. Without further ado, I hope you can enjoy the fic! Be sure to let me know what you think after finishing ^^
