   Summary

   Prequel #1 to "Maybe I have to be Good to You Just to Prove I can be Good"

   Minho knew he was smart, but maybe smart in all the wrong ways.

   Smartass, his father called him.

   Smart, but listless, his teachers wrote in the little comment section of his report cards.

   He’s smart, but there's something just not right about him, the sheriff said that night he got picked up and dropped off past curfew.

   Then there were all the other things people called him - sneaky, stubborn, creepy, weird, freak, loner, psycho, faggot.

   Minho knew he was smart, he also knew he wasn’t smart enough.

   OR: Minho is holding his whole life together with tape and bubblegum. Chan's life is perfect until you start looking too closely. Before they start adopting the other misfits, Chan and Minho find each other first and learn how to be good to each other along the way.
