Second Chance

Description

It takes six years for Kim Joonmyun to debut, and during that time he watches as some of his friends debut long before him, until he thinks he will never debut. But of all those who stay, who assure him he will debut, there is one more important than all the others.

Foreword

I’d like to warn that there will be a lot of names in here that fans of EXO probably won’t recognise, because they’re trainees who never debuted or who left the company. I could have left them out of the story, but I wanted to point out just how many trainees there were during Joonmyun’s time as a trainee just to show one of the reasons it took so long for him to debut. I felt if I didn’t include the names, the point of the fic would be dulled somewhat, so they were left in. I hope they will not get in the way of your enjoyment of the story.
This fic is exactly 12 thousand words, because I am very picky. I tried very hard to get it exactly 12 thousand words; ask my lovely beta Adele. Thanks to her, I also went from hating this fic to feeling extremely proud of it, so she really deserves lots of thanks for that, too.

This is the first non Exo/Exo story I read and I got to say, I am in love with your writing style!
You literally had me feeling as if you were there to witness it all and just wrote it all down to be told later on, if that even makes sense, but I just had to let you know how great I think this story is. I truly loved it and enjoyed reading it! It was a bit weird in the beginning to read of Suho with someone not from Exo but that didn't stop it from being an amazing story.
I wholeheartedly want to thank you for sharing such a well written story with us, I hope you keep writing many more awesome stories in the near future!! :)

This is absolutely amazing! I love your writing style and how you've built Kyuhyun's and Suho's relationship. I'm not very good at expressing how much I really enjoy reading but I thought I would try anyway. That and 12 thousands words is not that long of a read.

How do you know the names of the trainees?
