OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK

okay so you know my soul is crying out for the real himup reunion but I AM LOVING THE HIMLO. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. They have such a sweet relationship, Junhong is so GOOD and totally understands what Himchan needs. I love him reintroducing him to casual affectionate touching, and reminding him to breathe, and just--fucking all of it. Omg letting Jongup think mayyyyybe they've been together as payback. It's so upsetting to think Jongup lost his best friend and his Himchan at the same time, but of course I'm also so in Himlo's corner too. Himchan's trying so hard i just

I came soooo close to making this have a HimLo ending. Like I was legit at work and mentally writing Himchan realizing Junhong was the one who had always had his back, loved him unconditionally, stood beside him on his darkest days and was the one he really loved and I CAME. SO. CLOSE.
But then when I was writing this and I got to the scene where Jongup was looking for him in the church and I just couldn't do it >.< So I went back and added Junhong having a boyfriend...
Man, Daehyun is killing me in this fic. I keep thinking of dumbass oneliners for him but can't put them in since it's a Himchan-centric fic and it's making me so mad lol. I might have to do a bonus chapter for him at the end because he's such an idiot here. Like I can totally picture him honestly thinking Himchan wouldn't recognize him and holding up an entire wedding service to chitchat. My lil dumbass DaeDae.

It's me Jung Daehyun lmfaooo I love him so much you wrote him perfectly I swear hahahaha I am so happy that he's that glad to see Himchan and Youngae was happy to see him too and everyone is so happy to see him and they are doing the right thing taking it slow for him even if Daehyun is gonna hug him at the reception lol...Jongup though...my heart stopped I swear when he walked up on him unexpectedly thank god for Junhong and I am loving all the Himlo you are writing too they are great bffs...Jongup being engaged was not expected and I won't pretend my heart isn't crushed but that's your specialty and god I can't wait for the next chapter I love this so much

Hahaha can't you just see him pointing to himself, "Hyung! Hyung remember me??!" Sweet little idiot that he is. You can't help but love him.
I've had Jongup engaged planned since the beginning of the fic :D I really believe the Jongup from this universe wouldn't like being alone and after having his heart broken would gravitate towards someone who took care of him. It's just too bad it wasn't Himchan T_T

I've had such an insane week,  I couldn't be more glad that I finally had the time to sit down in a quiet place with my phone and read this and--

OH. MY. GOSH.

Junhong's a liar, right? He's doing this to get back at Jongup for avoiding him, right? He's testing Himchan's feelings for Jongup, right? I mean, I kinda saw it coming, yes, but still... Jongup can't really be engaged, right?

The mild heartbreak over my number one ship aside, I really liked the way Junhong and Yongguk were protecting Himchan. And Daehyun was just soDaehyun. :D I hope to be able to read how his and Himchan's proper first chat after a while goes.

But mostly I'm craving for more himup. This chapter whetted my appetite and now I need more the two. Even if it's not a happy ending. Though I'm still hoping it is. ^^;

Thank you for this chapter, I'll be eagerly waiting for chapter seven!

Wellllll he *could* be... Anddddd he *might* be...
But no spoilers ;)

There should hopefully be some more Daehyun in the next chapter. He has an important role to play in my plan :D
