Godd just so beautiful and painful to read (for the first part) ;; I've sort of experience Seungyoon's hurt, confusion and that acute feeling of being betrayed before so the first few parts were a little difficult for me to read. But luckily everything ends well!

I love how you fleshed out the emotions and feeling little by little. Everything was really well-timed here, the dialogue and words appearing just at the right time. ALSO SENPAI OF WRITING FEELINGS. I'm gonna stop googling "how to write feelings" and just refer to this fic whenever I need tips; what a good example of showing instead of writing, where a slight change of expression or a tiny change in a character's voice expresses more than spoken words (also especially since Seungyoon is so late to realizing his and Seunghoon's feelings)

I enjoyed the way the characters are written too, especially Seungyoon's. Even though he isn't as aware of the workings of his heart but I like how he knows what people think and feel about him and the way other's perception shaped his inner doubts and struggles, while also remaining satisfied and content (because he has Seunghoon and that is already enough for him /heartfelt wails/). It is rare to have a character who is so aware and it's somewhat admirable that he never did conform or change for anyone (except Seunghoon but what is falling in love without doing stupid and dangerous things together). Is he stubborn? Maybe but definitely not in a negative way.

Also, I'm glad you put them into Ravenclaw and use the qualities of the house to emphasize the theme of "blind" in the context of "not knowing" or "unable to see" in spite of how smart Seungyoon is. So smart of you to have Seungyoon question his intelligence or how he acknowledged that Seunghoon is smart in an unconventional way (which makes Hoon slightly Slytherin)! I thought it was done really well to tie the theme of "blind" and "mirror", since mirrors are used for their reflections - a way to gain knowledge about oneself or in this case, 2Seung's feelings for each other.

The fight scene is so intimate and I just ♥♥♥ at all the body contact and skinships and pining each other to the floor, and especially Seunghoon's confession, which really reminds me how he's just a boy who can be unsure about things and especially about a boy he care so much about. My heart hurt when he said:
“What to do, humans are just like that. I kept playing around, maybe hoping you would make a move, or maybe finally pushing you to someone else’s arms. I wanted to be sure you might be happy without me - we should be friends forever, like we promised even if we never said it at loud, and that couldn’t possibly work out with these unresolved feelings”

Like Seunghoon knows but he waits for Seungyoon to realize because he doesn't want to push Yoon ;;

I really really really (x100) this, so well-written!

this comment made my day for several days. thank you so so so so much for this ;_; it's so insightful and ... idek where to start. well, you were right, everything in this fic had "timing" - it was like matrioska dolls, just a bit, and i really loved to put everything together, everything in place.
i don't know what are you saying about feelings XP but it really warmed my heaart to see your genuine love for yoon's character - he's really proud of who he is, or maybe just aware of it, and really the only one who can change him for the better is seunghoon. it's pretty obvious along the whole story and ;_; well it's real.
also, seriously your comment is so ... you saw so many things. wow. i think you just understood everything, even more than myself. (especially the blijd = not knowing, yep, it's so true for seungyoon).
and well basically really thank you, i'll always remember this ;_; rghtg you're great
