ohh...fi-chan, i miss this fic like hell ;;__;;
i'm so glad to have this update, but now i feel like pulling my hair because...
I STILL WANT MORE!!!! *sobbing uncontrollably
seriously, the fic is so addictive i can't even...urgh

no, there's no way that could escape yunho's attention...the man have eagle eyes when it comes to JJ xD
but but but...JJ's injured. not just physically, but mentally too *holds him tight and cries
would leave the court symbolism for other readers, i'm not that good at reading between the lines :-/
ok, will re-read the whole fic again for the third time while trying to find the symbolism in this chapter, lol

thank u so much for the update!!!!!! <3333333333333333333
take ur time and let the perfectionism rule dear, i'll be waiting here whenever u feel satisfied enough with ur work to update ^^

uh..finished reading this whole fic for the third time...
and still unable to find the court symbolism in this chapter *facedesk
i really am not good at that kind of thing.
that aside, i did found out lots of connections by re-reading (one of the strength of your fics is that people can always find something new everytime they re-read)

for example, based on this sentence:
“I don’t want to be quirky, I want to be good.”
i found out that yunho's crush exists somewhere in jay's memories (and we can't cross out the possibility of the guy being jay himself) :3

ohh..my yunjae.

Ah, it's all good. Reading between the lines for court symbolism is just there for people who like to analyse that kind of thing. There are clues for the psyche there for sure but it's just as an extra touch, it won't really affect the storyline so much. ^^

You are a smart cookie! You picked up on that sneaky sentence. There are a lot of those lying around that will only make sense after various parts of the plot are uncovered. It is so painfffful making sure they are all hidden in there but it's worth it when clever people like you find them. *high fives* =D

<3

[wild_terrain]

Aww, you're gorgeous. ^^

Eagle Eyes, Yunho, that's his middle name. Or not. But it could be. XD

JJ is injured physically and mentally, yep, that's for sure. Poor dear...

That is so kind of you. The holidays really threw a spanner in the works with the whole update thing. I also had an ugly mud-wrestling session with my perfectionism and it won but I got in a few punches... XD

Thank you so much for reading!

An update yoohoo ackkk but jae is in pain huhu hopefully yun is there to ease the pain yunband-aid i recommend hehe ^_^

[wild_terrain]

hehe ohh yes, Yunho will be there to ease the pain. He's good like that. >D

A Yunband-aid, hahah! That's a good one! LOL

Thanks for reading~ <3

Aww....poor Jae...this must be the reason why he quit tennis.

[wild_terrain]

Yeh, injuries can be awful when your career is physical. =(

Thanks for reading!

Wow this is getting quite complicated. Yunho used to be so happy and optimistic, and now he basically sees no hope for his "plummeting career" (aww I just want to cuddle him!) He seems so depressed about it, thinking it's a waste and he'll always be just as bad etc... Side thought: he wanted to fix up the "inspirational" court thinking it would help him? Anyway, he's so discouraged thinking he's always worked so hard, unlike "that kid who could apparently do anything on the court". His mind is seriously going to be blown if/when it turns out to be Jae. Yunho is worried he's reached his peak already, while Jae's peak was 15 years ago... before he could even make a name for himself (and now I want to cuddle Jae too!) But seriously, if the amazing kid who seemed to have it so easy really is Jae, Yunho's entire mindset will be altered. Shattered even. And it's so messed up that they are/were both jealous of each other without understanding all the details of reality (according to my theory LOL) or even knowing who they really are. Hmm

[wild_terrain]

Mm, Yunho has turned a little negative and disheartened, eh. He puts way too much pressure on himself to be perfect and feel perfect. It's really not possible; you can't make yourself feel something. And then as time gets closer for his matches to start again, his anxiety makes him even worse. =(

Hah, yeh, if that kid turns out to be JJ, Yunho might get smacked in the head with 'the grass isn't always greener' hammer. His match anxiety really must be going in the red zone if he's comparing himself to a kid for even a second. >According to your theory, yeh, if that ends up being the case it will have some interesting effects on the characters' mindsets. Particularly Yunho's. It's so human to assume everything is perfect for other people but none of us really know what's truly going on behind closed doors. And if they were both jealous of each other, that would be kind of funny--but unfortunate too. Definitely still funny though. =P

You're really taking me back to the days I used to watch tennis matches and enjoy it so much! I liked reading this chapter a lot!

Thanks for updating ^^

[wild_terrain]

Oooh you used to watch tennis? That's awesome! You'll be able to imagine Yunho in a real match really well later. =D

I'm glad you enjoyed this part. Hopefully you like the next one too. ^^

Thanks for reading!
