hUUFFFS i'm going to try to make this comment as cohesive as possible even though i am fuming but it's 2am and how to form rational thought??? 19k of time travel!junhwan??? CHARACTER DEATH??? omg??? i'm also going to quote this enTIRE DAMN FIC I SWEAR. ((also excuse the obnoxious amounts of ???'s i am both angry and confused u__u))
BUT I'M SO EMO RN YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BELIEVE JFC THIS HURTS AND I AM UPSET.
Jinhwan tugs the collar of his coat- no, Junhwe’s coat- up over the lower half of his face, and waits. junhwan sharing cLOTHES and jinhwan wearing oversized things did you mean all i ever needed;;
“It’s too far from campus,” Jinhwan points out. “You’d have to wake up at, what, six in the morning to get to class?” Junhwe makes a face. “You don’t think I’d wake up at six in the morning for you?” why was there cute in the midst of all of this. you can't hurt me with both cute and sad that's unfair. :(((( you must pick only one.
“Anyone who doesn’t get along with him,” Hanbin jerks his head in Bobby’s direction, “is worth keeping

honestly the entirety of the fic itself had already made me sad but you just had to throw yunhyeong in there. have it hurt more. dump more gasoline onto the fire.
i might've compulsively started crying a bit over everything but let me tell you, i love your hostile snarky junhoe so much. i'm 10000% positive he goes around being a complete ass to everyone but then has the most massive soft spot for jinhwan and only jinhwan. i am 100000000% sure this trope is real alright. “Sorry,” Jinhwan yelps once he’s regained his balance, frantically jumping back and out of the person’s personal space. “That was an accident- I was pushed and- Sorry.” “What the fuck,” is the unenthused, boyish reply. “Watch where you’re- Oh, hey.” i mean??????? that's junhwan's entire dynamic. it has to be real. there's no way it can't be

HOW DO I BEGIN TO REPLY TO SUCH A NICE COMMENT?? I've read it over so many times just trying to process it and gather myself, thank you for taking the time to leave SUCH a long and generous one, you're way too kind ;__;
I completely agree with you re: jinhwan! He's quite a wonderful/supportive hyung irl, so I definitely felt like I was taking a possible worst of him and running with it. I'm really happy that you think it worked, and that he didn't seem ooc or anything! i'm 10000% positive he goes around being a complete ass to everyone but then has the most massive soft spot for jinhwan and only jinhwan THIS...IS EXACTLY WHAT I THINK...I mean does junhwe initiate so much skinship with/follow around/gaze lovingly at (okay at this point I might be projecting) anyone but jinhwan?? But in all honesty for someone who usually comes across as indifferent/inattentive junhwe seems q u i t e affectionate with jinhwan, don't you think

I always read time travel fic with the naïveté that it'll be sweet and funny with embarrassing mishaps and I'm always so /hurt/ when it's completely the opposite. Hurt in a immensely satisfied way tho because I lovelovelove when fic makes me so angry because of how realistic it is. And this fic dis just that like, I'm upset they don't live happily ever after but it was such a /ride/ that I can't be mad about it...ugh idk this was just so wonderful and I hate that as soon as I realized that what was happening was /what was happening/ I had to read the rest with this dread in my stomach and the (again naive) hope that you'd somehow make this a happy ending

Time travel can be sweet and funny, I'm sure!! But...maybe not Novikovian time travel u__u I'm so glad you enjoyed this, thank you for your praise <3 I'm relieved you think double b turned out okay, I was a little worried since I only had a handful of short segments to convince everyone I was writing about them, and not...two random people I'd thought up or something orz. And that's a good point about donghyuk not actually interacting with junhwe! I would've loved to have it happen (I adore their dynamic), but I guess it was because the story was told only from jinhwan's/yunhyeong's pov that it didn't.
One question tho if you can answer: did they include junhoe in the victims list because they could identify his body or did they think jinhwan was junhoe because he had his name tag? No, jinhwan's body wasn't mistaken for junhwe's! All five victims who were employees were identified (with proper procedures) mainly because they could be accounted for, whereas jinhwan didn't belong there in the first place so no one had any idea who

omg this fic is right on time bc i was just debating with my friend about the trouble with time travel and paradoxes (bc the flash tv show decided they wanted to fuck with their viewers) and we were breaking our backs trying to see how the show could right itself. bout you and this fic are what my friend and i are low key maybe high key agreeing on T-T
this is so well done oh goodness you're so good at writing how everything is happening bc it happened already/before and i'm just so amazed at how well you pulled this off. thinking about paradoxes and time travel make me feel like i'm argueing the same points over and over again and i love how you told the story in flashforwards and flashbacks and how every part was important and i know i'm rambling but this is gold and it's going straight into my memories.
Ooh, I've never watched the flash -- I just looked up the episode and the time travel sounds fascinating! Pretty much the only thing I recognise/understand is the idea of faster-than-light travel, the rest is *__* Confusing but so interesting, haha.
I'm really glad you liked this, it means a lot that you think I managed to pull it off ;__; Also that the chronology worked for you! I think it ran some risk of confusion, but as you read everything is meant to make sense (hopefully that's how it went)!
Thank you for leaving me this super nice comment <3
Ahh this was so good!! The deaths were sad without being melodramatic, the plot flowed perfectly even without being linear, the characterisatoion was great. Seriously this was a joy to read, the plot twists had me staring angrily at my computer screen and that's always a good sign :P
A number of people seem to have had similar angry sort of reactions upon reading this fic lol u__u I'm really happy you enjoyed it!! And that the plot/chronology worked for you -- I could never quite be sure it wouldn't end up confusing or predictable, so I'm glad it didn't seem that way!
