Now let me just quote stuff at you, because there were so many excellent lines I can't choose just one to represent my adoration appropriately:

Jobs are important, just like bathing and singing the national anthem at sports events. And soul mates, JD, don't forget about those.

Remember that time Tao accidentally punched me in the face and off a ledge into a lake? Ahahaha! (Poor Tao'')

I give up. he types back instead. I’m going on welfare and adopting a cat. ...not sure that's how welfare works, Jongdae. You could always try prison though, I've heard they give free meals.

“He bullies Jongdae, I love him already,” Baekhyun adds and Amber grins as if in agreement. Yup.

"I didn't find a job, but I found you." Awww~! It's like a cheesy pick up line, except after they're already together <3

“Stuff,” Lu Han says, eyebrows raising behind his sunglasses. “And then probably eating before more stuff. Date stuff, you know, ‘coz we’re dating.”
Ugh, Lu Han <3 Can I just keep him, sorry Jongdae :P

Jongdae feels a bit childish that his immediate thought is of hyperactive joy and the next of Chanyeol fist pumping to the bolded letters ‘REAL PERSON ADULT JOB’ but that’s his reality. Now I want a gif of Chanyeol doing that. Where can I get that gif.

“Swimming,” Jongdae repeats, and can feel Lu Han’s hands still warm and resting at the small of his back. Comfortable, close and intimate and safe and the fullness gets bigger so it presses at the back of his throat.

“You know, when you go in water and don’t drown,” Lu Han begins to explain unnecessarily and dissolves into laughter as Jongdae shoves him back into the couch. <3 <3 <3 So cute.

“Stop sighing, you’re making the room emotionally polluted,” Kyungsoo tells him. Always such a concerned and considerate friend, that Kyungsoo.

“I feel ill,” he says aloud and somehow a smile begins to snake over Kyungsoo’s mouth.

“Yeah,” he says, and something about his face relaxes a bit, and Jongdae doesn't understand. “Love is like that.” This might be my favorite line, actually.

"This isn’t a huge trial, this is you, being a dick.” I think this is the one line summary of the entire story, minus the fluff.

“Kyungsoo and I are starting a new movement known as Jongno Kim and we’re activating our protest today,” Yusss Amber and Soojung, yusss!

“How long is a bit?” Jongdae asks tentatively, looking back after where Lu Han had stormed off.

“Probably less than a year,” Yixing says, and smiles at him like this is actually great news. Yixing too, can I just keep Yixing <3

“Figure it out,” Minseok says. “And make yourself something that he deserves.” ofc Minseok gives the best advice, and he's not even Jongdae's friend. you da man, Minseok.

“You fucked up,” Sehun says, and tilts his head as if in further judging assessment of Jongdae. “Really bad. So I’m here to tell you how bad-“

“And to help you understand what to do,” Yixing adds. This whole scene was great, them finishing each other's punchlines with Yixing trying to soften up possessive and grouchy Sehun. They make cute soul mates.

Ok, I could keep going, but suffice it to say this is wonderful! Long fic is my favorite, and the feels and the dialogue and just everything...~<3 Thank you so much for writing! All your hard work is much appreciated <3
