Okay first of all thanks so much for writing that prompt; my prompts had absolutely no order of precedence and one of the things I love best is open interpretation. Secondly, this was just absolutely brilliant. I love things that play with virtual identity, games, reality, humanity, open endings, this was just every single thing I like. Thank you so much!! The way Kyungsoo retreats into the careful virtual world he cultivates, the déjà vu, the fact that Minseok keeps going after him - it's like Minseok is Kyungsoo except in the real world and Minseok is playing to keep. I hope that Kyingsoo makes the right decision but the beauty of it is that we don't know. He has to decide for himself. And what if chenchen was the bartender? Another reminder of life waiting for him when he logs on, if he logs on. Just another possibility. Kyungsoo is punishing himself, in a way, for not being "real" - if the world is going to do it to him then he might as well do it first, better. There's nothing more ironic than an artificial person being stuck in

once again, i am honestly just so so so glad that you liked this;; you're so sweet and i really wanted to write something for you that you would enjoy and i was really worried about this hahaha orz
"Kyungsoo is punishing himself, in a way, for not being "real" - if the world is going to do it to him then he might as well do it first, better" --> this is a better summary of my fic than i could ever give lol. that's exactly it -- he thinks that if he does it first, it won't hurt as much. it's his defense mechanism to deal with the pain, but if he never allows himself to face the pain then he can never grow...
ahhh sorry for rambling. anyways!! thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this <3 /showers with hugs and kisses
what is this complex fic of epic proportions? COMPLEX? YES?
this was an amazing ride from start to finish! if i could reread it again with a fresh look i would because wow the feelings are amazing!
i loved every bit of this! from the problems kyungsoo had to deal in terms of being real or fake, to his decisions over the real world and the virtual world. i loved how you explored his personal battle over choosing to keep or give up the world he crafted for himself. just yes!
Kyungsoo is sitting in a cafe. i didn't realize how important this simple line is
That nothing about him is real. Kyungsoo had tried to deny it at first. His emotions feel real, and isn’t that enough? sobs
In the week following the kjmsuho fiasco, Kyungsoo first hooks up with x_SensitivePanda_x for a few days and then moves on to chenchen. and so it begins
also i loved the usernames you made for each member! very creative!
His smile widens, and there’s… something. Something other than just hope of creating a returning customer. Something more like a more
