Ok, it took me three hours to read this bundle of beautiful words, watch it take me another hour to complete this comment. And let me take a moment to profess my love and gratitude for this fic, in case I scare you off before you get to the end of my flail <3

Disclaimer: I'm extremely sorry in advance, but I may or may not have intense feelings, and they may or may not be spewed at you in the following comment essay. If you would like to skip to the end for a quote-free summary paragraph, I will by no means be offended.

Shall we begin:

...black patent leather dress shoes with hot pink heels and soles (Jongin had borrowed those from Jongdae, his ‘fashion-forward’ cousin, since he only owned sneakers himself).
--cousin Jongdae, fyeah.
--hot pink soled patent leather shoes, fyeah.

(at least that’s what he had told his mother when he left Jecheon for Seoul two weeks ago).
--Chungbuk <3

The scrutinizing look on the man’s face changes into something softer, kinder, and Jongin can’t help but notice how handsome the man is when he ( ... )

Eunkyung is a junior manager from Assets and walks around in dresses Jongin has only seen before in Jongdae’s fashion magazines, and even though he had invested in 3 decent (and frighteningly expensive) suits after his application was accepted, he still feels perpetually underdressed in the office.
--It's ok, Jongin-ah. This is how I feel at work, all the time. *sobs quietly and pats his dancer boy abs*

“Ah. I don’t usually notice those kind of things.”
Chanyeol pops his back and leans dangerously far back in his swivel chair. “Don’t notice a signal that obvious? You must be really stupid or really gay.”
--ouch :/

And yet, in the pit of his stomach, there’s another feeling too - something that struck him as Joonmyun had smiled at him. Jongin decides it must be admiration.
--admiration, eh. That's a nice catch-all label, very handy. *nods*

“And it’s a Bubble Butt - Sehun came up with the recipe. It has lots of vodka and… pink shit, I guess. Don’t knock it back in one go, it’s pretty potent.” He moves behind Sehun, grabbing his ( ... )

This is as good as it gets. It’s stupid to want to be something you’re not. And will always be just Jongin, nothing more.” It comes out harsher than he intended to - but Jongin wishes Jongdae would understand certain wounds take time to heal, and some wounds are never meant to heal at all.

Better, Jongdae?
--good job, Jongin <3
--omfg, pls become president of the world so you speak foreign languages at press conferences in dark suits

“So let me get this straight, you’ve got a crush on your boss and you’ve been courting each other through limp hand waves and exchanging laundry tips. Wow, sounds like you two are on fire, when’s the wedding?

--the Sukai ship summary in a nutshell
--I still love your KJD <3

Jongin looks down at his coke and sniffs it. Surely Jongdae lied about the rum/coke ratio in this and Jongin must be way drunker than he thinks because he ( ... )

i... wow the ending was so abrupt.
i like literally scrolled up and down is disbelief that it ended.

I loved every bit of the hopeless crushing with poor yet helpful advice from his obnoxious cousin.
Almost- Romantic comedy is life.
