( Months after Lu Han's retirement from the band and Kyungsoo still gets that weird, sinking sensation in his stomach that feels a lot like taking two, three punches to the gut when he sees Lu Han in the news, in old pictures as a band, in Chanyeol's Line contacts when Kyungsoo feels like snooping around, looking over Chanyeol's shoulder and just staying for a while. )

— Baekhyun/Kyungsoo, mentions of Suho/Luna, hinted Krystal/Kyungsoo, and Seungsoo/Boa. NC-17. 325700 words.
— So here's the plan: Kyungsoo goes to Mokpo-si and claims a Pokemon to start his journey with. He earns his trainer license and gets a PokeDex, to boot. He runs into a familiar face and falls flat on his ass, only to find out that this guy who'd just knocked him to the ground? It's the same guy he's spent the past decade of his life trying to stay away from. And it's the same person who has half of the Pokeball he carries around with him in his pocket wherever he goes. (Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, blood, animal/Pokemon-harming, serious body injuries, mentions of death in the family due to war, sex without protection. Please take these warnings seriously.)


☆ Kyungsoo takes another step forward and shuts the doors behind him. His Pokemon journey has just begun. ☆
