ahhhh, thank you so much for writing this! :D i'm really happy to see what you've made with my prompt kjdcsndkcn tbh rivals to friends/lovers is a trope i really enjoy seeing and ahhhh, YOU DID WELL!

seeing junmyeon being the douchey(?) character is definitely a pleasant change from the usual, thank you for writing him that way. and omgosh the competitiveness between jongdae and junmyeon + the reasons behind it kjsdncksjdnsc. @ jongdae STOP BEING STUBBORN AND PUSHING YOUR INJURY SO HARDDDDD!! though with the amount of pressure he puts on himself + the weight he has to carry as his team's best ;;;; i can see why he would keep going on and on to do good better and best + jump to the conclusion that junmyeon had other intentions behind his concern.

also, i like how you brought in yixing as a mention and had him in a role where it highlighted how junmyeon noticed the signs/seriousness of jongdae's injury + ties in how he knows what to do to help jongdae through recovery and get back into swimming once again.

bonus:
- the adorable nicknames/titles you've given the boys kjdnvkdjfv and also 'kimship'?? CUTE!
- pokemon reference + baekhyun being an snsd fanboy/taeyeon stan + side xiuyeol???? yes to everything, yessssss!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS FIC! ♡
