Author's Note

I am delighted to inform you

Thank you for reading this story! I've been working on it for ~3 months now, and it was originally meant for a fic fest whose host I wasn't able to contact, so I ended up publishing it here anyways. 

I started to write this story as a way to wrap up my own last year of high school, and I'll actually be graduating this week and wanted to complete it before then :) It sort of ended up being my catharsis of sorts, and I apologize if it's not all too coherent, but I really hope you enjoyed it nonetheless!

Fun facts!

The cast lives in Korea, and the Korean school year ends in February, which means that the entire story takes place over 1-2 months (From Kyungsoo's birthday to graduation).

- This is what I pictured Jongin wearing to the gala/formal! It's from the 2019 Gucci Cruise Show. On the other hand, I sort of just threw Kyungsoo's outfit together in my mind, haha.

EXO Kai Looks Dashing at the Gucci Cruise 2020 Show - Chingu to ...

- In the scene where Kyungsoo, Baekhyun, and Sehun get their university decisions, the first letter is from Harvard and the second is from MIT. The exact wording is accurate because I copy pasted them from my own letters #Harvardrejects

- The Tesla Roadster (Jongin's car) actually does have a cupholder, it's just the foldable kind tucked into the side of the passenger seat and can't be used when someone is sitting there. (And Jongin's is broken lol Kyungsoo = best cupholder)

I'm happy to answer any questions and all comments are appreciated c:

Chapter 5: I am in love with everything in this fic!!! Kaisoo is love and so are the other relationships in this fic. The interaction and dynamics between all of them are so fitting. The friendships between SeBaekSoo is rare but I didn't find it awkward to read at all. In fact I wish there are more SeBaekSoo friendship being written out there because the trio are adorable but chaotic at the same time hahahaha...

Kyungsoo and Jongin's relationships sure moves past but who can blame them for falling fast when they are perfect for each other? Hahaha... And I'm loving it that when they had conflict they resolve it after calming down and thinking things through. This is high school drama sprinkled with angst but the maturity displayed shows that Jongin surely has been trained to be mature by his parents hehehe... He didn't rush his words or his actions albeit a bit clumsy when he's facing Kyungsoo hahahaha...

I also love it when you somehow connect all the characters together is some way or another! From just Sehun, Kyungsoo and Baekhyun the group expands into Jongin, Junmyeon and Luhan. Then it slowly includes Yifan, Chanyeol and Yixing. Minseok and Jongdae are there and so were Zitao. Ah, this made me miss OT12 era hahahaha...

The tiny bits of details from real life is fun to see when they are inserted into this fic XD Toben's cameo in this fic sure leave an impact like his appearance in MLT last year lol

Anyway, thank you so much for this fic. I really love it from the characters to the plot to everything. Fighting!!!

I think this fic had just the right amount of angst/drama to make the the entire story feel wholesome and satisfying. Thanks so much for posting this!
