  • keyboard smash my love ♥♥
    • Chanyeol is convinced Kyungsoo is going to end up a lonely, old man with twenty cats and decides that online dating is the right choice for his socially-awkward friend.

In addition to lamely but profoundly succeeding in soaking and staining Kim Jongin's bleached shirt, a terrible, unexpected weight accompanied the incident, something that I could never shake.

The plot of land sprawling before him was larger than anything he’d ever worked with before, but Jongin was far from daunted. He’d always loved the feeling of fresh earth between his fingers. Granted, this plot of land really was enormous. Jongin turned to the back of the house where the sprouts, seeds and bulbs he’d prepared were sitting. He knelt down in front of them and closed his eyes, praying to the Goddess of the Harvest for good fortune. “Please help me,” he said quietly.
