NOTES:

There may be some stupid moments with the characters and you will hate a few of them for different reasons haha they are in this story because honestly, my characters are not perfect.

Please do note my grammar isn't so good, I'm still learning and trying 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, and say hi!

I might have improved over the years. I get discouraged easily, thinking I don't write well and my ideas are lame. I appreciate everyone who supports me and reaches out in the most difficult times and their encouragement, thank you.

IMPORTANT!

This was originally called Bloody Love. I had also made this pretty angsty when I was back in high school but never really wrote much.

I wrote up to two or three chapters and suddenly had the inspiration and spark to rewrite it. So, keep in mind though there is angst and despite the original title, the fic is pretty much fluffy, your typical sweet romantic comedy.

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

he has never been in love, the love where it feels soft like clouds, or the breeze on the beach at dusk, the intimacy of hands interlocking and fingers entwining. where it leaves butterflies in his stomach, makes his heartbeat flutter, and throb in deep agony.

when his neighbor strikes a deal with him to help him fall in love within a month, he agrees only on one condition. Seokjin must not reveal Taehyung's secret. 

it sounds easy but love is never easy. it never has been. it's two hearts dancing to the same rhythm against all odds
