❝ You came, out of nowhere like a hurricane. Pull me in and kiss me in the rain and I fell for you, my whole life changed. ❞ - Love Song, Why Don't We

❝ "Are you sure?" Changmin says softly, chocolate eyes trailing up to meet Kevin's concerned ones. Hickory hair damp and disheveled clothes from the rain sticking to his lean figure.❞ - Ji Changmin, Baby You Are

❝ "What? That I'm wet and freezing in a hotel room with you, the 'bad guy'?" Kevin puts air quotes around the words, noticing how the distance between them is almost non-existence.❞ - Kevin Moon, Baby You are

❝ He realizes the same thing could occur back then if he doesn't take action, but can you blame the way his heart pounds whenever the dancer is near? Kevin wants to stay but Changmin does not because the door isn't far away and he always leaves fast without an explanation.❞ - Baby You Are

❝ Kevin shouldn't worry. He can't help but argue the fact the boy is his concern.❞ - Baby You Are

❝ "Why? Are you scared? Or do you want me to stay over for the night?" Changmin leans over to whisper in Kevin's ear, a faint smirk playing on his lips. When he moves back, admiring his flushed face and surprised eyes, the younger only just realizes how still the boy is from the teasing, their gazes locking.❞ - Ji Changmin, Baby You Are

❝ "I am scared," Kevin admits, his voice unsteady, searching Changmin's eyes. "I'm scared that the same thing will happen because I'm so stupid and a hopeless romantic. I'm scared because there's no one I know here other than you, and that Chanhee is probably somewhere with Sunwoo. I feel safe with you. I don't know why. I just know I'm not afraid of anything when I'm with you either, Changmin." ❞ - Kevin Moon, Baby You Are

All the characters, plot, and work are from my own imagination except the fact it is mainly inspired by Why Don't We's "The Good Times and The Bad Times" It is also inspired by "Make a Wish" by nyukyusmoonlight on ao3 + that "Baby You Are" kevkyu video edit on twitter.

NOTES:

There may be some stupid moments in regards to the characters and you will hate a few of them for different reasons haha that are in this story because honestly, everyone is shippable, my characters are not perfect, and well what's a story without angst?  There will be strong language, and some mature content as well.

So, please if you don't like the ships or anything in the story, then don't read.

I do have to note that this story is nothing like "Love Alarm", please understand that there may be a hint of familiarity, but it is not.

This idea just came to me during my one week break from Wattpad and everyone.

I started developing the idea on Wednesday at lunchtime in school.

I was so excited, I took a good 10 minute to organize my thoughts and write the story idea down when I got to 6th period.

I like to also mention for a better understanding of the story if you'd like, listen to Why Don't We's main track "Lotus Inn" because that's the basis of the story, but other than that we'll see how it unravels hehe

Please do note my grammar isn't so good, I'm still learning and try to avoid those mistakes, but feedback and criticism are allowed. I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions, so don't forget to comment. I'm still young, so bare with my cringe fried writing.

I might have improved over these 2 years? I honestly get easily discouraged, thinking I don't write well and my ideas are lame. I really appreciate all of those who support me and reach out in the most difficult times and that they encourage me.

IMPORTANT!

This book is inspired by Why Don't We's "The Good Times and The Bad Times" Album. It will have suggestive scenes and very slight mature themes.

This idea has also been stuck in my head for weeks, right after reading a few works on ao3, coming across a kevkyu edit on Twitter, and listening to Why Don't We's album.

I am so upset that I missed their comeback like ARE YOU KIDDING ME I JUST STARTED LISTENING TO THEM LAST YEAR AND I WAS LIKE AIGHT WE'RE STANNING THESE BOYS.

I will not tolerate any immature comment or anything similar to that. My characters aren't perfect. I'm not a good writer, but I try to write and my love of writing won't stop me even if I feel discouraged.

S U M M A R Y

When Kevin's best friend moves on from their last night's hot, stupid, and not-so-intended mess, the younger has to accept the harsh reality of rejection. Kevin knows Jacob does not have any bad intentions. it's totally not because he's the campus's angel.

But everything changes the moment he stumbles upon the most beautiful piercing blue eyes that strikingly resemble his one best friend who has been there since day one. Only to realize the dancer wasn't here to stay.

A year later, Kevin focuses on chasing after his dreams and hopes for a new beginning. What he didn't expect was to completely start over, find himself kissing strangers, and stuck between the past and present no matter what he does. He can't stop thinking about his senior best friend, who left for good. Oblivious of the fact, the one and only is right in front of him this entire time, even though he comes quickly and leaves quickly.

This idea solely was inspired by "The Good Times and The Bad Times" and by no means the idols mentioned in this fic or any other of my fics are dating in real life.

I found that I adore Kevin and Changmin's friendship too and it's not just because they're my bias and bias wrecker ahaha no like really it isn't.

It's just something that made me go okay why does barely anyone ship them?

And when I found out someone else than I do I got so happy marksmusee Joy, you ball of sunshine, I love you. I will forever be grateful for stumbling upon you and being friends with you other than the fact we both ship rare ships like kevkyu

I will start writing this when the first week of June comes around. Your support and patience would mean the world to me. Don't be afraid to let your thoughts out.

I like to know what you think as it helps me grow as a writer & as a person. I hope you enjoy reading and learn something or feel something good from this fic 💖💖
