Description

Since his boyfriend’s passing, Taemin has secluded himself in the safety of his apartment and learned to live a quiet lonely life. He spends his days playing with his cat Luna, taking care of the plants, and occasionally meeting with his closest friends.

Then one day a noisy neighbor moves into the unit next to his, and Taemin is caught off-guard by the man. While he gets to know him through this neighborhood issue, new feelings start to grow—feelings he didn’t think he’d ever experience again.

As he tries to navigate this new world of possibilities, he wonders. What if taking a chance is what he needs to do in order to fulfill his late boyfriend’s wish?

Foreword

I am back with a new story! I wrote this one back in February for a Wattpad contest, and I feel like it would be a shame to not post it elsewhere :p

This story isn't rated, but will brush over some heavy themes such as loss and grief, so proceed with caution if it's something you struggle with. Spoilers in the tags if you want to double-check.

The story is 12 chapters long and I will post every Sunday as usual! I hope you'll enjoy it, don't hesitate to leave an upvote and a comment if you do!

Big thanks to my beta Emily for doing God's work out here too <3

Chapter 12: I felt this fanfic like a hug to my heart. I'm demiual just like Taemin and I've had problems to met new people or stablish relationships after my breakup with my ex gf 2 years ago. Reading this made me think and remember a lot of things. I love how you describe the way Taemin is feeling and the queer representation, it feels so warm to my heart. Tysm for this🩷

Chapter 12: What a lovely ending! I know there will still be some rough days ahead for the three of them, as everything is still so fresh. They have each other though, and Nari has them both. I see blue skies all the way. Thank you for taking us on this beautiful journey.

Chapter 12: Taemin is learning how to live again! It's scary and uncontrollable at times but also fun and wonderful - he has the perfect partner to do it with since Minho understands his past but wants to be his everyday!! Nicely done author-nim!!
