Moving to a new school isn't easy.

After all, no one said it would be.

New friendships, new people — some good, some bad, some just blatantly confusing — an entirely different environment than what you're used to.

Than what Hoseok is used to.

But it's all because of a simple plane ride that his entire life flips upside down.

From misjudgments leading into crushes, misconceptions morphing into fury, into anger, into jealousy.

It's a whirlwind of new desires and emotions he's never felt before — something he's desperate to grasp but is frustrated because he's just simply unable to do so no matter how hard he tries.

And sometimes, he just wants it all to go away.

Because beneath that bright, exhilarating smile lays a cracked skull where his soul withers away more and more each day, decaying into the deepest crevices of the earth and beyond any gates of hell, gracing the surface of scorching hot lava and being burned for eternity with nothing but a pool of self hatred.

Yet maybe, all it takes to find his true genuine happiness, is the person whom he least expected it to be.

Because after all, one doesn't see everything laying beneath the surface.

DISCLAIMER:

I wrote this book April 2020 when I had barely any experience w writing and it was when I was first testing out my writing capabilities as a whole — so this was essentially a test run.

but now that it's gotten more attention over the past year or so I just thought it'd be appropriate for me to address that since this is definitely not my best written work nor am I really proud of it either, but I'm still holding off from deleting it for now just bc it makes me nostalgic and yeah :]

thank you for checking out this book ! but please do know that this doesn't really represent me as a writer nor person anymore — I've changed, grown, and matured (at least a little bit) since I wrote the first chapter of this FIC, and we've come a long way since then <3

that's all I wanted to say, and once again thank you for choosing to support this book but now that I've warned you feel free to click off since it's truly cringey at the start and makes me wanna cry every time 💕💕💕
