the awkward incapability to hide his giddiness and happiness, the worthwhile use of imagination to create heart fluttering scenarios, the genuine yearning to be someone who love you-- why aren't most of us just like hinata. i mean sure not everyone gets an "i love you too" from the crush they're living with but still. hinata's fruitful love confession is a win for all of us~ sad there's no extras but this was a very good read

firstly, i relate so much to siwon. after losing so much weight and finally feeling good with myself and having people be sooo much nicer to me, there's this weird feeling of shame for who i was before?? sometimes i even feel like an imposter in my own body and i get so anxious about the possibility that the new people i meet would feel disappointed if they knew what i looked like before. and honestly, i hate that i have such a shallow view on beauty and self-worth but it's difficult when you grow up with people who seem to want to love you more if you looked a certain way. so yeah, when daun comforted siwon and was just so accepting(??) it made me cry buckets because ahhhh i hope everyone finds someone who'll make them feel accepted.
secondly, i angry cried bc WHY CANT MEN TAKE THE HINT AND ACT ALL VICTIMIZED WHEN YOU TELL THEM YOU DIDN'T FEEL GOOD WITH THEIR MEDDLING AND ONLY ENDED UP FEELING AS IF YOU'RE IN DANGER. i mean it's a common reoccurring theme of men who can't take no for an answer and when they act all victimized and then call you names for pointing out why they were wrong--- ahhh makes me want to gorge their forcking eyes out. so happy yoonjung is such a girl boss who stands up for herself and even for others. it's nice to have a female character in BL who are not merely plot devices to stress out the main couple and is genuinely a character that grows and one that you can cheer on.

ho-in love, wow you just go jump right in huh? no regard whatsoever for what happens when you break once you fall because this whole setup screams uncertain and well yeah whatever. go on i guess. this feels intense to allow yourself to be the receiver of crumbs when you're willing to give everything, but wow people irl do that anyway. god i hope this doesn't sting too bad for ho-in

i guess it makes sense?? that some people would think that but it's really not the case, at least for me (and i'm happy others think so too) ho-in is just desperate to hang on to chunwoo and i think he's pretty open with his goal of trying to get inside through the cracks of his sunbae and taesoo's relationship. i definitely have to re-read the prev chaps tho bc im confused if chunwoo does have feelings for taesoo or he's hesitant to end things with him and is just using that misunderstanding to push ho-in away knowing how messy life already is for him with taesoo at hand

You’re putting it nicely I think it’s absolute bs thinking he’s manipulative....I feel Ho-In is what every drama second lead guy suffers the second lead syndrome mehnnn....like you can’t help loving who you love and trying to get the person especially seeing the person in pain of loving another I mean it’s the same as 10 years I’ve loved you, the second guy kept trying even when the uke really was hopelessly in love with another guy....so yeah life is truly miserable for all the love triangles someone is bound to get hurt

right, this feels very much like looking through the perspective of the second lead if you put it that way. i really didn't expect ho-in to just go for it because i thought he'd take a step back and worry about having his feelings be a burden to chunwoo. i'm glad he didn't tho, because yeah sure it might hurt later on but every love affair requires that and i think his sunbae very much needs to be around ho-in too. the fact that ho-in informs chunwoo that he truly want to become the person beside him is truly very sad but sometimes you have to barge in to get somewhere even if it might backfire later on. in the end we're all rooting for ho-in i guess~~

@me next time because I can't with the subssss
I have literal proof, logic, and reasoning to support my observation and your excuse is......
"Hopeless large puppy cutie seme is so in love and adorably hopeless so we should support him in pursuing someone that is not only romantically interested in someone else but is explicitly not romantically interested in him despite his feelings. We support his not technically homewrecking but still is morally questionable behavior no matter what! Ganbatteeeee <3"
Like that is hella wack and a dangerous line of thinking. That's the type of self stroking and self serving rhetoric that produces entitlement to feelings that you weren't going to receive otherwise unless you manipulated the other party into thinking that they love you because they feel a responsibility to the weight of your feelings. That's not love.
i used to really hate one shots since "it can't only be this much for something so good?!?!!!" but honestly thats the beauty of it too. this story shows that, it's concise and almost fleeting but it's enough to make you feel the emotions the story wants you to feel. the story telling and the romantic details (eg. a portrait is like a confession ahhhh) was done and delivered so well i don't mind that it's just one chapter even though i would give anything to atleast have this be a 5-6 chaptered piece~ this was nice
