aopisudfjkls; YOU

ugh twice now and it still hurts why do you do thisss
idk i really love this though!! just that theme of loss over and over again, and soo forcing himself forward is just so heartbreaking and wonderful and awoeiudpsfjkl

ok so

- soo thinking of them as a family and kiseop throwing off the balance and being afraid because of it is so fantastic. because i think if anyone would think of them as family, it'd be him, idk

- the elvin thing and soo seeing them as a series of pictures ;____; but i've spazzed at you about that before so you know how i feel about it.
"Please don't tell us to stop," and The stress is already eating away at him, knowing that protecting these two will be yet another burden for him like UGH of course soo would protect them and of course it'd stress him out but he'd put their happiness first omg

- "I looked some things up" HOONIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE INTERNET GURL PLEASE WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS

- Soohyun spends the night dreaming of a wedding and a dog and an adopted daughter

LJ SAID MY COMMENT WAS TOO LONG ARGH

anyway

- sometimes the lead has to chase the love interest across the world, through a thousand missed connections, before they manage to meet in the middle. It wasn’t their time, he thinks, and gets up to follow Hoon.
this might be one of my favourite lines in the whole fic and THEN YOU DIDN'T CHASE HIM OMFG SOO BB WHYYY
i WAS SO LIKE OMG GO GO GO MAKE IT HAPPEN
but then i was like no it won't she's going to make it angsty cry but MAYBE THERE IS HOPE
also, side note: thinking about chasing him and then following him out of the room is like perfect and brilliant and i love you for that parallel idk

- This is all wrong, he thinks, but it’s too late now. cryyyyyy

This is so so so so so so so SO sad!! Like, I'm bawling. And I was really mad at the other members. Why do they expect Soohyun to give up everything, but not themselves? And at the end I wanted them to at least realize everything he gave up for them, but instead I'm just... over here in my corner.... sobbing.

Ah, my Soohyun baby is too self sacrificing. I want to take him and keep him in my pocket and care for him and make him as happy as he could possibly want.

This is a very well written fic! And I'm glad to see you back writing again. It seems like it's been forever. :)

Well, suitofarmour said so many things, and she and I are generally of a similar mind, so I will just leave it at I agree with everything she said and am now going to go cry on the floor.
