CRYING. WITH GLEE. AND SHAKING WITH ODD ANTICIPATION EVEN THOUGH I JUST FINISHED. i don't even know what i'm waiting for. i'm not waiting for anything! i have never been so so SO excited in my life to see this plastered on my f-list, especially since it's like uncovering some kind of ... rare antique. i barely see this from you anymore (you and your running man) but guh, it makes it that much more worth it to see this. not that it never is, but you know what i mean.

really, i have no idea what it is about your writing ... like, i can't seem to put it into words. it's very ... bare. minimalist? you go into details, sure, and you get inside their heads and write them in a fashion that's unseen in this side of fandom - at least from my perspective. like you write them as they are - boys and girls - but you still get them and you still manage to strip them down some more - not just them but also the emotions and the atmosphere and asdfjk ( ... )

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU. i can only compare this to ... okay, so say you're really hungry, right? and say you're like me, who likes toast. i LOVE my toast so much that you don't ever touch it. point is, i'm fucking hungry and only the butt ends are left. i don't like the butt ends - who does? but i toast them anyway because i'm HUNGRY, okay, but when it comes out all nice and toasty ... they just taste like the crust ... and like butt. so i slap on some butter and then it tastes marginally better but just marginally AND I GOBBLE IT UP. and you'd think i'd learn from this, right, but i don't. i buy another loaf of bread and fall into the same trap of being stuck between two butts.

RAAAAAAAWR. i hate this. but i love it. this always happens, and you know what buttons to push. you're like the fishing rod and i'm the fishy, and you leave me half in the water so i can sort of breathe but not really.

evil.

your essays are always the best part of my day / a confidence boost / warm-and-fuzzify everything.

1 - TRUE STORY, man. don't go to those deai cafes T_T
2 - "you fresh little mango" - do you say this irl? vocaroo it. OH YEAH you should do a voice meme.
3 - I had to for old times' sake :D oh yeah? I hope someone subs it immediately XD;
4 - Jonghyun's this elusive puzzle. I don't ever know how to describe all of him in words. There's the smiley-smiley him, and then there's him getting pissed at Jungshin for calling him out in that one ep of their reality show, and then there's his mysterious ring and that girl he dumped, idk, idk. But it makes me happy to know you like him here :)
5 - YES EXACTLY OF COURSE OF COURSE YOU WOULD KNOW. How's the group date story going? Dude I know NOTHING about JGS... or PSH for that matter! fuck, i can't finish anything anymore. hello - you are talking to a garbage truck. I have faith in you! It's just because the show's over. You are not a failure ( ... )

*squees, drums feet on floor, major throbbing sounds ensue*

You have such a simple, elegant, touching way of writing. The dialogue is just so nice to read. You seem to have a real knack for tapping into the way these boys would talk, without making it seem contrived, or arranged. I can just picture them talking this way. Or maybe your Yonghwa is just so, so amusing to read <3 And all four of them, ah -- makes me wish I gave you a prompt of just them lazing around one cold winter night, or something mundane like that, because I'm sure you would have turned it into something terrific.

“Can I break up with all of you?” Jonghyun says

The Jonghyun in my head is the sort that'll whisper threats (murderous or otherwise), because sleep and his guitar and sleep are far more important to him than those 3 boys. Sometimes.

“So you called to whine about another girl,” Shinhye says. Her voice sounds thick and hoarse, like she’s been sleeping.

lkdjais'dja;wdka;wlwke ♥.

In reality, Jonghyun is more like a dog than Jungshin. He doesn’t talk ( ... )

First of all, thank you again for bidding and donating ♥ and thank you for the beautiful prompt! I was super excited after getting your email because... well, excuse to write them again :D :D makes me wish I gave you a prompt of just them lazing around one cold winter night - you have just summarized everything I've ever written ;____; plot - what is that?

I sort of mentioned it to aphoriste above, but Jonghyun's really hard for me to pin down because I ... like him too much or something? It's like I can see his multiple "sides" but don't know how to arrange them into words >< but I'm glad/relieved you liked him! I know you mentioned angst and he isn't too angsty here, agh D:

But really, thank you so much, and I'm -- glad this was okay :D (Also, we ship practically all the same RM pairings!)

Not at all -- even if Jonghyun wasn't emitting angst vibes, you know they're there (or I just have him angst ridden all the time, b'aw). And lmao shush, if that's your idea of a plot, then it's friggin' amazing and all sorts of perfect /clings to this some more

(I LOVE YOUR SHIPPING WAYS IN RM :* I can't wait to read all of them.)

I absolutely love, love, love you for making this. And I want to write a really stupidly long comment but... AGH, THE WORDS AREN'T COMING OUT. Aw....

“Sometimes he still gets nightmares,” Jungshin says over his shoulder. “I hear him crying through the wall.”

“It’s true,” Minhyuk says somberly.

“You two keep your eyes on the sink,” Yonghwa orders, but it’s too late because the magnae are on a revolt today.

Jonghyun is laughing so hard pieces of egg are flying out of his mouth and onto Yonghwa’s face. It is absolutely disgusting.

Lmao, them torturing Yonghwa is just... I love it. I absolutely love it and I know I totally should it but DKJFDKLJ IT'S JUST SO FUN TO READ ABOUT THEM MESSING WITH THE GUY i'm such a horrible yonghwa fan....

“Can I break up with all of you?” Jonghyun says, in a bad mood because he’s been trying to fall asleep on the couch for the past twenty minutes. The cushions around here are apparently not soundproof ( ... )

This is a wonderfully long and not at all stupid comment! Aw, you can be a Yonghwa fan with a sadistic streak :D nothing wrong with that. He probably enjoys it ;)

Oh man, what you said about CNB - I wasn't even thinking of that, but it's so true. On the one hand I'm glad for them because WGM helped expose us to the other members as well, and I'm one of those fans whose interest was piqued by the show, but on the other hand, you have a totally valid point--it would be nice to think of CNB as not just "Yonghwa and co" or "WGM's Yonghwa's band" etc. It seems like Korea's liking them more and more these days though!

In reality, Jonghyun is more like a dog than Jungshin. He doesn’t talk much, but he’s always around, putting pillows under your head or covering you with scratchy blankets smelling of mothballs. For all his bashful-looking smiles (but they actually weren’t; he was just smiling) Yonghwa is unable to forget that of the four of them, Jonghyun probably understands heartbreak the best, as if it were carved on the back of his hand, plain for everyday viewing. Jonghyun loves harder than Yonghwa knows how-and it isn’t easy for Yonghwa to admit this, because he thinks he knows pretty well already. Maybe not. The strangest people will surprise you-steal your glasses so that the world you thought you knew suddenly blurs like a shittily taken photo. I LOVE THIS WHOLE PARAGRAPH. can you tell? .___. /embarrassed. especially the part I bolded, but that's probably obvious. oh lordy, I love your writing. this comment may not be as long or as awesome as the ones above, but I really really enjoyed this. and I am going to add it to mah memories, both up ( ... )

omg while scrolling through this post I realized the comments do look kind of intimidating XDD;; (although I am ridic happy to receive them!) Glad you liked this, even the Shinhye part. I'm surprised anyone would've liked that part, actually! Mysterious hand-holding's the best kind. Not that it's ever happened to me before ><;

This is really beautiful. It's has a kind of surreal feeling to it in parts...perhaps because of the dreams or perhaps just because it does. Whatever the reason, I really like it. It has a strong sense of the realness of life and somehow I see it as being so like what life is for them all...maybe this is their life. I love the mix of humour and serious talk and how they weave in and out of each other, and the sweet ending that melted my heart ♥♥

Thanks so much. I'm glad the mix of humor and introspective/meta-y stuff worked for you :)
