First of all, thank you. Thank you for appreciating this story. I'm glad you picked it up and read it to the end. I feel accomplished as well that you find this story as on of your faves in this fest. It makes me feel the hard work has paid off.

Thank you, too, that the story had that effect on you. That means I sent my message across. Like you, writing this was a reflection more than just writing a story of two depressed individuals. Your comment is enough. I love you, too, angel. Thank you for reading!

I loved this story. I thought you portrayed the sense of hopelessness that can come with depression really well, also the difficulty of carrying on after something as random and life changing as kyungsoo's accident happens.

I think you ended it in a good place and on the right note, but....please write a sequel where kyungsoo regains full use of his legs, tells his old agency to go f themselves, and signs a contract worth twice as much with someone else because the public thinks he's a hero. Not that I hold a grudge much.

(I said on Twitter I'd read it, so there!)

I'm very happy you shared this story with all of us - wrote this story for this fest. Depression is a curse, in my opinion. One can recover from it and one can also just... drown in it. And I've been asked by someone incredibly dear to me to kill them so it kind of hit me hard as I was reading. I just... wish people would take it more seriously.

Jongin and Kyungsoo's emotions were very real to me. And although some could say it's cliché, I liked that they were somewhat fated to meet (in the hospital and later on in the dorms). It adds a little something that's exciting. And it's honestly nice to think they'll be happy together afterwards, even through the hard times to come.

And omg Kyungsoo just lied so that he'd have a reason to talk to Jongin. :'))) And the freezing feet. I went like - no wait, he can't, he's not supposed to feel anything and- OMG WAIT *belatedly realises what's happening*

So yep, was a nice read. Really. Good job <3 <3 <3

Depression is definitely a curse. It's a constant shadow that never goes away when you have it. I'm sorry about this someone you talked about, I sincerely hope he/she is okay.

I wrote House of Cards with people like us - people who are suffering and people who knows someone who is - in mind. Like you, I wish for people to just open their eyes, see what's really happening, and take this issue seriously. I'm glad that I have somewhat sent my message across through his tic, even for a few people who read it.

Thank you very much for reading my fic! It already means so much to me that you gave this fic a chance.
