Genre tags say adult, mature, smut — but don’t trust them.
This story is so slow it’s like watching water bore a hole into stone.
Every chapter feels like nothing’s happening…
and then somehow, somewhere along the way, you realize you’re already deep under.
It’s not about heat. It’s about gravity.
The kind where you laugh because they’re naming a virtual baby Wilson and arguing over it like idiots.
The kind where you think it’s just about friendship — until you start noticing how someone’s face lights up when they laugh.
The kind where you realize that even silly little things — like sharing gum — start meaning way too much.
This story isn’t for rushing.
It’s for sinking.
Slowly. Quietly. Permanently.
⸻
Things that hit me hard:
• Wilson the virtual baby — and the roommate who refuses to say the name but keeps slipping anyway.
• Gum jealousy — Robin competing against gum like it’s a serious rival.
• Blushing over tiny moments — when simple words like “I like it” suddenly feel like “I like you.”
• The irony — Robin thinking he’s the one giving good advice while being the most oblivious of all.
• Tiny acts of noticing — realizing forehead bumps, spoons, snacks, laughter — all start meaning too much.
• “Once you realize you like someone, everything becomes something.”
(Maybe the truest line in the whole story.)
⸻
Symbolism I want to remember:
• Moon = longing that never fades, no matter the distance.
• Gum = innocence, jealousy, and the ache of wanting to be special.
• Taekwondo = the lesson that you have to stop hesitating and make the move.
• Childhood items = how love grows quietly before either of them could name it.

Final thoughts:
This story doesn’t rush. It doesn’t push.
It lingers.
It aches.
It lets two people stumble around without realizing they’re already tangled together.
If you’re looking for smut, keep moving.
If you’re looking for something slow, awkward, sweet, painful, and honest,
this might be the one that stays with you.
Still ongoing — and absolutely worth it.
