hello!! i just stumbled upon your fic and i just have to say, you're really good. there were so many good lines in this fic omg and it just got my heart wrenching so bad for kyungsoo when chanyeol was going back and forth about telling the truth ;__; idk maybe because this really resonates with me, imo the one thing that's worse than outright rejection in a possible relationship is to live a lie, with the other party totally oblivious to the jerk's true feelings? i'm talking too much lol /shot anyway, i just wanna say that i really enjoyed this :-) here are some of my favourite lines:

"Chanyeol's determined to have the better farm, so when he stumbles across user dok0112 and the most amazing fucking farm he's ever seen"
this made me laugh irl!! i was totally expecting crack!fic at this point in time and not to have to deal with so much feels ;_;

"Replying to an email is careless, takes up no space, but now Kyungsoo is a person, heavy with flesh and blood and expectations. Chanyeol's being asked to do a pas de deux, a lift, but he isn't ready to take up Kyungsoo's weight."
i thought this was really beautiful as the imagery was really strong and i...i just really liked it OTL my english is so bad

"Compared to the firmness of his written communication, he's unexpectedly excitable, cheeks rounding out every time he smiles, expressive to the last inch. Cuter in real life by miles, Chanyeol thinks as Kyungsoo peers at him and beams."
ahh, the defining moment in which i knew chanyeol was definitely going to fall hard for soo. this was real fluffy and cute and once again, i can just imagine this scene so vividly. what's more, i don't even typically enjoy fluff (mostly because it's a very saturated genre and is mostly written pretty badly so :/)

"Kyungsoo catches his hand in the quiet, breezy walk from the taxi to his apartment building, and Chanyeol's earlier tension catches up with him like a gathering fog, the knot in his stomach coming together again. It's easy to forget Kyungsoo's supposed to be more than a friend."
I FEEL SO MUCH FOR KYUNGSOO AT THIS MOMENT it's like he's so carefree and happy and so in like (omg that was so cheesy pls shoot me) but all chanyeol's thinking is that he really enjoys kyungsoo's company, he's enjoying himself so much that he forgets the most important thing: that kyungsoo harbours romantic feelings towards him. this leads to him feeling like a shit and feeling such guilt because he knows he's going to hurt someone that he really cares for and i just...jsdbglksdjg

in conclusion, i just...REALLY LIKE YOUR FIC. that is all. thank you :-)

CRIES WOW T_____T THIS COMMENT TOTALLY MADE MY DAY thank you ;___; there's no such thing as talking too much, but thank you for bothering to type it all out omg ;;;;;; i'm really glad you found the fic enjoyable and somewhat relatable wah. i wish i'd had another couple thousand words in the word limit bc chanyeol hasn't nearly apologized enough T__T the whole time it is unfair to kyungsoo, so hopefully putting himself out there while chanyeol tries to decide whether or not he likes kyungsoo enough in the right way to try dating. poor kyungsoo ;;;;;;;;; thank god chanyeol got his shit together EVEN THO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE CHANYEOL WOULDN'T HAVE FALLEN FOR HIM kyungsoo is just too cute for that (as evidenced by all his fanboys...).

thank you again for reading <333 :"))))
