Young Hearts Be Free Tonight (Or Minho and Kibum's Exceptionally Classy Investigative Services)

Description

Wherein Minho and Kibum run a detective agency, platonically raise their sort of love child Taemin, and each manage to fall head over heels in love with people who are far less emotionally constipated than they are.

 

Or, put more delicately:

 

Minho had never been in love, not even with the girl he’d almost married, but he’d heard it described in fanciful ways that made him scoff. His mother and father still looked at each other like there was no one else on the planet, and while Minho loved Kibum, he certainly wasn’t in love with him. So he had no idea what it was like to be so wholly struck by someone, so infatuated and so compelled by the emotion, that everything else faded away.

Until now.

 

Foreword

This fic must first be prefaced with the additional information:

I'm relatively new to the world of Kpop. I've only been lurking around, spamming the repeat button of Kpop videos on youtube for about two months. I mention this because until I started listening to Kpop, I knew relatively nothing about South Korea. While I've been delving much deeper into the culture lately, I'm still ignorant of a lot of things. That said, I've taken some liberties with the educational system in South Korea in this fic, and some with the law or judicial system. I remind readers that I'm human and make mistakes, and I also have to mold some facts into fiction in order to preserve the integrity of the plot. And yes, Wikipedia was my best friend while I was writing this fic, but I hope it doesn't show too much.

 

Now enjoy!

Chapter 16: This is such a satisfying story with loose ends tied at least for Minho and Jinki. I love how you wove the story of Joon into their love story. Thank you so much for sharing.

Chapter 6: I just stumbled upon this story a few hours ago. And you could say that you got me at hello. It is a seemingly simple love story that is now starting to be gripping. Reading on.

I am fascinated by the relationship of the 6 young men. How exactly did that work? There must have been be a lot some jealousy and insecurities involved. Who was the leader of the pack? I suppose that is another story on its own. Great story. I really enjoyed it.
