I Want to be Loved by You
Description
Jongin buys a pair of shoes that, when he dances in them, sends him back to the 1920s, where he meets and falls in love with a jazz musician.
I played with the prompt a wee bit to make it somewhat more logical to me, as if time travel if logical at all. This takes place in New York, U.S.A, so all the names are given name name followed by family name. Because of all the immigrants at the time, nicknames were often given based on nationality, job, or some trait, because not everyone could pronounce the name, otherwise. Minseok is called Kim or Minnie. Baekhyun is called Bun Bun. Chanyeol is called Park. Joonmyun is also Kim or Johnny Moon. Any name you don't recognize is most likely some filler person I made up. There is no set date for when this takes place. It's mid-1920s.
Foreword
Jongin slowly lowered his arms and looked to Minseok. When he said he knew a guy, Jongin thought he meant someone he could just borrow clothes from. Sure, what he had on was a bit dusty and not in style, but a fully tailored suit seemed a but much. “How much is this going to cost?”
“Don't worry about it.”
“No! No, I can pay … ” Jongin rummaged in his pocket for his wallet, pulling out all the bills he had. He doubted the tailor accepted plastic.
“What kind of cash that?” Minseok peered over Jongin's arm, scrutinizing the wallet with a frown.
“The regular kind?”
“It's so small … .” He was right. Compared to the bill he presented from his own pocket, Jongin's were nearly an inch narrower and shorter. “Serialized in 2008? Trying to use that is a good way to get the Feds on you.”
