This is absolutely beautiful! The sad undertones, mysterious but gentle and sweet tao, the kitty!!! I just augh, made me so sad when the guys were beating Tao and then you find out that he's knew and his korean isnt good yet and it jut made me ever sadder. My poor baby :(

I always love the gentle, but strong characterization of Tao in fics. Even though he knows how to fight he won't use his wushu on people, just like rl Tao I cry.

And the convo they had on Baekhyun's porch auuuuuuuggghhhhhh my heart!!! I kept yelling "KISS HIM KISS HIM!!!!" Tao crying broke my heart, but Baekhyun talking to him the way he did revived me.

This was so simplistic, but so!! So much emotion and depth, really great!

This was amazing - I love that Tao started off as this mysterious, ethereal figure, and he turns out to be this sweet new kid (although I hate that he was bullied - waah). Baekhyun's character in this is so great as well.

Less the lion and more the cub. So much truth.

Thanks for the beautiful fic!

Ahh... I love the way you wrote Baekhyun in this -- that curiosity and the concern and the confusion. The anger for Zitao and the figuring out of himself in the process of all these feelings for a mystery. The realistic and typical way you portrayed that teenage attitude towards things, and the sad undertones of the entire thing -- that ending that is hopeful but tells of much more that could happen -- and not just positive either.

This was wonderful thank you for writing this

This is so sweet and sad at the same time. I like the way you describe Baekhyun's curiosity. It's just that at some point I get frustrated waiting for him to make a move. But I think this is also what makes this fic seems innocent. Like the first time you felt with your first crush. Really love their dynamics in this fic. Thank you for the good read :)
