    Summary

    The ballet dancer’s soft voice breaks through the buzzing black and white static that fills Jisung’s mind.

    “Hello.”

    “Ahh–” Jisung stumbles over himself for a moment, chewing his lip to get himself in order. “I’m Han Jisung, born in 2000. It's nice to meet you.”

    Well. Shit. As if he needed anymore proof of how limited his ‘gift with words’ truly was. He shouldn’t have left the house, he clearly can’t be in society.

    The dancer’s face lights up in amusement. “Wow, so formal and polite. I’m Minho.”

    Minho’s smirk shifts again like mercury.

    No, Jisung corrects himself, Minho feels too assured to be quicksilver.

    It’s like the seasons. Like the spring melt. A change that brings relief. A shift so steady it feels stablising

    Or: Jisung is a poet experiencing major writer's block. He goes out to find inspiration when he finds the ballet dancer Minho.

    Year after year, for as long as Jisung has been in the house, he has had a teeny weeny, iddy biddy, miniscule crush on him. The Christmas star. The crown jewel of the festive decorations, proudly sat atop the tree, shining his beautiful light through the whole room. He was a marvel to behold, a sight worth staring at as Jisung did most years. And by ‘teeny weeny, iddy biddy, miniscule crush’, what he really means is that he is absolutely in love with him.

    And this year, he is finally going to do something about it.

     

    -----------------

    Or: Jisung is a Christmas ornament who's in love with the star at the top of the tree. This year, he is determined to meet him. This is his adventure getting there.
