do i cry from the angst or that ending

im so conflicted

I LOVE THIS OH MY GOD okay can i just say this was like the least cliched thing i've ever read like yeah the whole 'best-friends-secretly-pining-for-each-other-since-the-dawn-of-time' thing can be cute but it can be so... overdone??? and this was such a real reaction to finding out that someone you've considered your best friend for years and years is actually in love with you

fuck im so emotional but i'll try to keep it under wraps

okay baekhyun first oh dear my poor baekhyun all those things you think about yourself are simpling not true sighs @ u and look at you pining after ksoo and osh when you have the perfect man right in front of you. honestly he broke my heart a little but he was incredibly well written and flawed and perfect and asdfghjkl;

and my main man, kim jongin. the way you wrote him, im fkn gobsmacked. pining!jongin is life okay god he was so cute and the way you incorporated his insecurities and his love for baekhyun and just EVERYTHING was amazing i feel like crying orz i loved how it developed so naturally but jongin always had this persistent love and devotion towards baek??

It’s a chaste, experimental kiss, kind of like the one Jongin had given him the first time, but it was much more careful, the amount of pressure and time lingering weighed for the safest results. He pulls back and hovers a few inches away for a minute, before giving it another try, and this time Jongin dares to press his lips back, until they’re kissing for real, open-mouthed and hot. Jongin forgets that he’s supposed to keep still and winds his arms around Baekhyun’s waist to pull him close, and suddenly Baekhyun's backed up against the door, hands fisting in Jongin’s hair and mouth sweet from the frozen yogurt they’d been eating on the way back to the apartment.

by the way that was the hottest thing ever

is it acceptable to just quote your fic back at you? bc i will.

“I like you,” Jongin says finally, toeing the sand timidly now.

Baekhyun sighs and looks over at him because he doesn’t understand. “I know you do, Jongin,” he replies, in a tone that’s much more worn out than before.

Jongin didn’t say it properly.

this breaks my heart dear god

“My mom says the sun used to watch me grow bigger and bigger in her stomach when I was a baby, but he liked me too much and looked at me for too long so I came out all tanned.”

Baekhyun giggled. “That’s stupid.”

“It is not!”

“Well what about me then?” Baekhyun pouted. “How come the sun didn’t like me as much?”

Jongin shakes his head. “He does like you. It just shows in your face instead of your skin.”

“My face?”

“Your smile,” Jongin said

this was the sweetest thing and baek's sunshine smile yes i can imagine it so well

okay and im going to mention one more thing bc this just came to me but is the reason baek didn't expect jongin's first kiss bc he didnt think jongin actually liked him??? as if he felt jongin was only doing it out of pity since baekhyun was feeling so vulnerable

tbh i could nit pick every single thing about this fic bc i loved it sosoososooooo much ((shout out to kris wu for a gr8 cameo)) but i'd bore you to tears but in summary i think what i loved most about this was how brutally real and raw the characters were, especially baekhyun. i get were he came from and why/how he didn't think he was good enough and this is getting too personal wow im sorry i'll end it here i loved this ok byee xoxooxo
