You Picked Me
Description
What would you do when you find yourself falling for the one person you thought you'd never fall for―your own best friend?
***
Here we have Lee Taemin and Krystal Jung, two best friends whose friendship has stood the test of deluded fan girls and cheating ex-boyfriends, who find themselves dealing with the distinct possibility that they are actually falling for each other. And then there's Krystal's sister Jessica and her boyfriend Lee Jinki, whose long term relationship has led them to believe that their love can endure everything, only to have life throw something that could potentially ruin their happy-ever-after.
Main Characters:
Lee Taemin | Krystal Jung | Jessica Jung | Lee Jinki
The story starts when Taemin asks Jessica, who is Jinki's girlfriend, to go as his date to the high school ball. When everything seems to be going well for him and his friends, Taemin gets a good understanding of this complex thing called his feelings, until he asks himself if the only reason he asked Jessica is because he's too scared to ask someone else, someone close to Jessica ― someone who's her sister.
Setting: All characters are in high school unless stated. Jinki and Jessica are in their final year of high school while Taemin and Krystal are on their first. As the story progresses, a lot of other ships will be touched upon. As of now, Minho/Yuri, Kyuhyun/Seohyun and Nichkhun/Tiffany are set. Other people will also be linked to Taemin and Krystal.
Like an apple on a tree
hiding out behind the leaves,
I was difficult to reach
but you picked me.

Foreword
(So yep, the title of this story was derived from the song I quoted above, and I think the song relates to where I wanna go with this story so yeah, here we are. I first heard it after it was featured in an OnSica fanmix on Tumblr. Listen to the tell me you noticed, tell me you heard fanmix here.)
Reading fanfiction about Krystal and Taemin has made me ship them as a couple, and now I've got a newfound drive to write more about them.
Any comments about the story is welcome, especially constructive criticism. Thank you for taking the time to read this. It already means a lot to me.
Sincerely,
Yanny
