i love this.

i like how it's the common 'loss' of donghae that initially bonds together, but then it's suddenly more than that--it's suddenly more about each other. i love love this part:

She thinks about all the people who are in her life but not really a part of it. [...] Her boyfriend’s roommate. Now ex-boyfriend. Now friend. Maybe.

for some reason, i especially loved the pub where hyukjae works, and how the food sucks there but jessica keeps coming back anyway. so much so that this scene is extra clear in my head:

Except by the third week he has to ask. “I thought we’d agreed the food here sucks.”

i feel like quoting so much more back at you, like the part about hyukjae growing into/accepting his looks, and the part where they talk about why and how they became what they are, and ugh the conversation about going to the end of the earth to find what they want/need is PERFECT, and well basically i really want to quote a lot lot more, but that will just make it overkill, and i might end up quoting back 11k words. :|

basically, overall, i love the descriptions, and just the general feel of this. i love how it basically culminates in a road trip, bc i'm a sucker for roadtrip fic. i also really enjoyed the straightforward dialogue. so, um, yeah, yay this fic \:D/, although i feel like i'm pm just a sucker for hyukjae/anybody in general, so that might be coloring my feelings for this, lmao.

This fic is really inspired by the idea of two people who are sort of lost in life, unsure of who they are and what they want so it is, how you put it, that common loss of Donghae what in essence leads them to begin to find themselves and each other.

The fact that you would quote the whole fic back to me says more than enough ♥

I love roadtrip fic too and was really glad it worked so well for the purpose of this fic. Hyukjae is such a sweetheart he deserves all the love in the world I always say :)

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'm really happy you enjoyed it~
