HOLY CRAP.

This was just rapid fire, wasn't it?!

“Why is Junhong still here? Can’t you two stay away from each other for fifteen minutes?”
BOOM

“And that you two are happy. I was angry at you both for a long time and I’m sorry.” He shrugged. “At least I know you’ll take care of each other.”
BOOM

“I got over you a long time ago. This was just something I needed to get off my chest.”
BOOM

“I loved you,” Jongup shoved the final dagger into his heart. “But I could never be with a drug addicted loser.”
I'M FUCKING DEAD HERE.

AND HIMCHAN ALMOST RELAPSING JFC. THAT WAS INTENSE. AND JUNHONG'S LOVE CONFESSION OH MY.

“You all knew he was mine. Everyone knew it. Even my parents knew about it.”Possessive Uppie though. Yummy

I really had planned on holding off on the DaeLo fic just to let this one sink in and settle for awhile but I sat down this morning and wrote like 4,000 words to it because I love this universe so much lol. I can't leave it yet >.<
Sooo in other words I have no life and lots of new crap coming soon lol.
And I wanted to thank you so much for reading and commenting on every chapter of this story. It really means a lot to me and I appreciate how much thought you LJ'ers put into your comments. I'm horrible at replying to comments but I hope you guys know how much I love getting them!

wijfoijawif i'm so conflicted, like I LOVE protective friend junhong, he's so GOOD to Himchan. But then I feel bad for Jongup, being led to think the wrong thing this whole time, and if he hadn't, he might never have been cruel to Himchan and none of the horribleness would have happened in the second half of the chapter. Ahh, i love me a good misunderstanding, though, and I so love the members rallying around Himchan protectively. I always want more of this in fics (and, er, real life). The tension is so painful and then Junhong is all in protective and proactive mode and it's excellent, and he's all confessing to Dae in front of everyone, ahaha of course xD I'm looking forward to more of them; I'm really liking their dynamic

[jojo_kim]

Yeah I really didn't want Jongup to be the main reason Himchan pulled himself through all of this. I mean, he's up there of course, but at the end of the day Himchan has to do this for him and he wants to make his momma proud of him and that just seemed so much better than giving him and Jongup a sappy reunion that made zero sense.
BUT there's always a chance for them later on ;)

I just....you know I knew it was gonna be sad..and make me a little upset cause of course Jongup still had the wrong idea about Junhong and Himchan but fuck that really really hurt my soul when he said that to Himchan...like damn Jongup you went through all of that shit and angst to see Himchan and talk to him again just to say some fucked up shit to him like that??!! I wanted to hit him for like 2 seconds but then remembered yea Junhong had him thinking they are still sleeping together and Himchan almost broke and I was crying I swear I was and was like please please let them find him before he does anything and then he didn't take any cause he didn't wanna break his mom's heart again *chokes up* Junhong hit Jongup and you know I'm still upset with him but I didn't want him to get hit dammit he was hurt too Junhong!! you know this!! and to find out he's not even happy with the girl and he still loves Himchan so much and I'm a big mess over here ok and I'm just going to my corner now....I do love the Daelo though omg it's fucking

Haha the DaeLo in this crack me up. I even wrote a spin-off fic totally devoted to the origins of their relationship. I think I like their interactions almost as much as HimUp's here.

And don't worry, there will be more HimUp to come in the spin-off. This is just the end of them for a little while until Himchan gets a little better :)

I read it again and I need to find some fluff right away why do you do this to me??!! (please never stop writing)

also lmfao Yongguk's reaction to the Daelo is the greatest
