Again, I already commented before back on AO3, but now I am actually sure my guess was correct about you writing this, and I guess this comment is going to be a little more detailed? Something along those lines ahaha.

First of all, I'm so proud you wrote fluff!!! If my forte is fluff and my weakness is angst, it seems you had that opposite problem, and I'm really happy that I kind of got to give you the chance to write fluff even if it may have been torturous for you :c Also, I'm so sorry that my prompt was not anything specific? Holy guacs, I only realized how bad my prompting was after I received your prompts, and I felt soooooo bad.

Second, the moment I saw Yoongi in this fic, I just knew that it had to be someone that knew me who wrote the fic! This could not be a coincidence because nobody on this earth except maybe like four other people ship sugarene!!! That's basically when your identity was revealed. I basically screamed when I saw Min Yoongi, and I was like bawling tears because wow never would I have expected that to happen in this fic. But shame on him for breaking her heart although it had to happen for Leorene, of course.

Third, I love childhood friends turned lovers so so much, and the moment where Taekwoon realizes that Joohyun is a girl is probably my favorite scene (along with when Joohyun is straightforward with Taekwoon for the first time, but I'll talk about that later). It was written so well that I could feel the flushed up-ness (wow, that's not a word) that the both of them felt because they realized that Joohyun is a girl and Taekwoon is a boy and omg friendships between opposite genders end up becoming shaky.

Also just going to add in that I love the appearances of Hakyeon and Jaehwan. And the realistic dynamics of their lives such as the cramming that they're doing for their college entrance exams because that is so so real in Korea as well as the dormitory life that Taekwoon was experiencing. Kudos for having Sunggyu as his roommate as well lol. That's also where I guessed you must have been the author.

Fourth, ahhh yes, the scene where Joohyun is supposedly not drunk, and they finally confront each other about their feelings. Most likely my favorite scene. I said before in the friending meme for vixxgifts, but my favorite line in the whole fic was “I’m not drunk,” she interrupts him harshly, now looking straight in front of her, “I’m not drunk, Jung Taekwoon.” And I chose this because this is the first time where we see Joohyun acknowledging her feelings for Taekwoon??? I was squealing in joy when I read this, and A+ for Jung Taekwoon being a gentleman and not taking advantage of her. Oh, I also love how she never calls him oppa except for that scene! It's great. The little details make me very happy, yes.

This comment turned out a whole lot longer than I thought it would, but I guess I had so much to say. Thank you once more for writing this ;_____; I love you so much ♥
