i definitely wanted their personalities to serve a contrast to the general lighthearted theme of the original, haha! how the slightest changes in personality and goals and outlooks on life can effect a huge change in what happens in the end, i think that was what i was going for the most, and most of all i wanted it to be a tale of what could have been vis-a-vis the original, hence the flashback. thanks for reading, i'm glad you liked!! :)

/picks up the pieces of your heart and dusts them off ;~;

i really appreciate the comment re: how it felt like an accompanying piece, i definitely wanted it to be some kind of thematic mirror of the original! also about how sehun can still find his own identity even if he doesn't run off with lu han -- in a way he finds the path he must take through a bit more navel-gazing rather than externally through lu han?? lol i'm not making sense am i. it gutted me to change the ending of the original :'( so yes now that they have their new lives ahead of them, you never know what might happen in the future....

thank for reading and leaving this lovely comment, i'm glad you liked!!

ahh i love this so much!!! the brisk kind of clinical mood is so well suited, and i love that it's framed as a flashback with the characters coming across more mature/jaded and like, detached from each other, so even before the rejection it's what you're expecting (love that scene, then pretended to fall asleep oof). and the part about assumptions, how sehun doesn't actually know much about luhan at all, ouch. i think this is my favorite: "Same," Lu Han said, "but I think you've seen much more than I have." He looked sorry. / "Don't try to read my mind, it creeps me the hell out," Sehun lied. bc augh so great (he lied!), the sense of regret (except not even regret, like a stale sort of nostalgia??) that runs through in a rly muted way, bc running away honestly would've been rash and naive and in the end sehun manages to grow up and into his sme role on his own. but still ouch
