Instant Crush / Trying To Be Cool

Description

In which Chanyeol is a closet music snob who tries oh so hard to impress a closet kpop fan.

 

Written because in my previous story, I wrote that I had this completely unrealistic notion that shared musical preferences for obscure songs and artists can equate to instant chemistry between two people. OneStarLight wanted a story about that featuring Chanyeol (because Chanyeol seems to have good taste in music - he listens to Daft Punk, after all). 

 

The title is made up of a song by Daft Punk and a song by Phoenix.  Check them out because they're epic.

 

One last bit of trivia: the speakeasy mentioned in the story is actually based on a real one in the city where I'm from. You can read up about the place here and here. And yes, you really have to enter through a door with an "EXIT" sign to get in. :)

I had to restrain myself in not fangirl at work lmao Which was really hard btw (I snorted really loudly, thank God someone told a joke, that I didn't even hear, so everything went smoothly)
Btw I'm kind of reading all of you fics, and looking for all of the bands you mentions lol I'm not a stalker I swear! I just like to get to know new bands and songs haha

Chapter 4: Aww Chanyeol!! That was quite the way to meet someone! Just stumble upon an underground club and BAM! I love this portrayal of Yeolie, I feel like it's almost exactly his way of being, and his personality is pretty much on par with his own.

On a slightly different note, I feel that Chanyeol and Lay (Yixing) would have the biggest eclectic taste in music out of all the members.

And by the way, you and I have quite the similar taste in music. I have so much Indie music in my library, that I sometimes overwhelm myself with it! LOL I don't know. Music truly IS life! I don't think I could go a day without listening to some type of it! I mean I'm such a music dork that I fall asleep to my Inuyasha OST! It all depends on the mood I guess.

Anyway. Loved the story, Chanyeol is too cute for his own good, he always makes me smile with his cute and crazy smile and laughter. He'd be such a fun boyfriend to have. And thanks for posting that pic of him! Just as I was about to comment on the story I see that pic and JFC, I squealed like a maniac, I had to go punch a pillow just to get down from the high of seeing adorable fetus Chanyeol, with a ing cute as hell ferret!
