um. wow. i dont even know how to start this.

i wrote this story out of curiosity and just wanting to try something new. i eventually came to realize a lot of my friends had interest in it and regained motivation to continue the story. and the plot developed and changed so many times. over the course of about 14 months of writing. i have the original draft in the notes on my phone actually. and i have a lot to say in these credits so here we go.

my journey

i have been a stay since july 31, 2018. right before i am who debuted. a few friends got me into the group that night and i actually remember it like it was yesterday. i picked jisung as a bias that night and as i slowly got into the group more and more i realized i would keep him around and he has been my bias to this very day. gotta love that kid.

around september of 2018 however i began a very rough patch of life. it made me feel like i was to blame for every little fault in the world and that i needed to face punishments for such issues to the point where i entered therapy for about a year (although i quit due to unprofessional help but that's besides the point.) i had a lot of trouble figuring out who i could and couldn't trust. but i trusted stray kids for some reason. they reminded me it was ok to not be ok and slowly i became happy again.

on march 2, 2019 i woke up at 6am and who knew that 4 hours later after panicking and lots of devices i had tickets to see them. and so may 15 came like a blast and i got to see my boys live for their first ever world tour. i watch the miroh comeback (which is my favorite album) and i grew more and more into the group. i was there when our lovely woojin departed and i still miss him so much but continue to support him solo.

i got to see stray kids again in january of this year (2020) in new york and now here i am after the go live come back as a thriving stay, almost at my two year anniversary. and i don't see myself going anywhere in the future. i don't even have wall space anymore from all my posters.

if you wish to talk to me about this story or continue to support me you can find me on isntagram @ _katpaws_ or @ kattaee !

the story

i didn't plan on writing fanfiction ever in my life. never in a million years did i even want to write a book. but eighth grade me made the courageous idea to start after i began to show much interest in a book that my friend had been writing that i wanted to try it out for myself . with her help and lots of hard work i was able to publish a few chapters. i always knew the main plot would revolve around a fake relationship causing a blackmail scenario with hyunjin but i was unsure of how it would unfold.

in the original writing of the story there were a few major things that were not going to be included. the dance was never going to exist and neither was the christmas vacation. minho and jisung would only kiss in the end and never before that. kat and jisung were never going to move in with minho but i thought that would be realistic since they have no active parental figures in the story and the idea didn't come around until the chapter before to be honest.

the idea of the story came to me from the song rainbow by kacey muskgraves and i decided that title would be cute. the idea of 'rainbow boy' being a sort of nickname did not come along until , again, a chapter or two before. a lot of this story is pretty much improvisation now that i think about it. the term rainbow boy was cute a cute title and i vividly remember laying in my bed and coming up with the idea.

playlist

you can ask any of my friends and they'll tell you that i have a playlist for absolutely everything . music has always been such a big part of everything i do. so of course i incorporated that into my story by having chapters based on songs and the core song for the story being before you go by lewis capaldi. you don't have the app musi then feel free to create this playlist on youtube, spotify, apple music, or whatever streaming service you may use.

i don't have the songs timed up to the length of the chapter but there are a few little references to each of the songs in each of the chapters and listening to them while reading definitely will help provide the mood that i was attempting to set :)

emma <3

emma... i don't know where to begin. i'm not sure if anyone who reads this knows that emma and i are actually irl best friends and have been since sixth grade... almost four years. emma and i have gone through thick and thin and i'm glad she's here with me today. life has thrown challenges at both of us but we got through it and she has made an appearance in the story !!

it was emmas story actually that made me want to try writing . she helped me with some scenes and plots and even some grammatical mistakes so this book wouldn't be as great as it was if not for her .  some chapters you can credit her for are : something , just in case, a talk about us, shes in the rain, good enough, and leave ! many little details were given by emma and actually some of those chapters were her ideas :)

but hey emma. thanks for sticking with me through the story and letting me have you featured in it. it means a lot to have you next to me incase i needed reassurance or a second opinion and a lot of what you've said helps. i'm also very proud of your writing as well :) thank you for everything you've done despite that i'm probably a pain and we're both sleep deprived so.... but thank you again, and i love you 🥺✨🤍

you can fine emma here ———> bangeunsoo

( and here's a little picture of us incase you want to imagine the characters a bit better and just because we pretty 😌 i'm on the right and emma on the left )

future stories

i have many planned !! im currently writing a taekook short story called bucket list, some one shots here and there, and i have three more full stories planned !! these stories include ships like : woosan , hyunmin, and another minsung story !!

if you enjoyed this read i'm sure you'll like what else i have to provide. each story is gonna be a little different . this one was more of a drama while taekook is a bit more action, woosan is like a novel type story, hyunmin is more literate, and the new minsung story will have some angst for those who enjoy emotional stories.

hopefully you'll have something to look forward to now !!

ending statement

i plan on giving credits at the end of every book , but not 1245 (as of typing that number) words worth of love for each one. this was just my first story and it has a lot of meaning to me so it deserve a proper credit!

i will be going back and editing the story as well as commenting some fun facts on the side in the comments to let you guys see some references i tried to make here and there ;)
so look forward to that !!

but thank you guys again for sticking around to read... this means a lot to me . all of you do. although i do have one person i'd say is my " biggest fan " who also has some amazing stories to check out . thanks for being the main reason i regained the motivation to write this again, mayrin. i can't wait to see what you have planned for your stories as well <3

and with that said ... thanks again.

sincerely,
kat ; your rainbow boy biased author 🌈
