Screaming because I gave such a simple prompt and you turned it into... this!

The hint of magical realism and the warm but pulsing tone of the story made it resonates much better than what I had in mind with the prompt. A thread stretching through two worlds is one of the best ideas I have heard so far.

It tugs and pinches and burns, keeping him awake for hours on end, staring at his ceiling with a deep ache in his bones that goes way beyond the exhaustion.
I would like to interpret this as Jinyoung trying to reach out to Jaebum and ouch, my heart.

“It’s… ” he begins to say, but there is sound of steps coming up the stairs and Jaebum recognizes Jackson humming ‘The eye of the tiger’.
Jackson pls. You're perfect please continue to do you and never change. (I love your characterization of him)

They talk and Jaebum finds himself saying more than he would be comfortable to share with someone he barely knows
*muffled screaming in the distance about how JJ are soulmates as I fall into a pit of feels*

*incoherent sounds through Jinyoung's struggle and Jaebum's inability to help*

“You are always so nice to me,” Jinyoung is grinning when he turns around, and his eyes shine bright bright bright. Bright and grey like a clouded sky.
perfect storm baby let me love you

I loved this so much. Ty for breathing life into this prompt.

YES that was Jinyoung thank you!! I was going to put that into the notes, but forgot, bout you noticed!

I'm so glad you liked it because I rewrote this differently three times with totally different plot lines and then Jinyoung just turned into... that and I wasn't sure...

Also 'storm baby', I'll forever think about this Jinyoung as such from now on ಥ_ಥ

thank you again!!!!!
