Hanbin isn’t the best with words, Jinhwan takes a while to catch up, and three years is a long time.

That author's note LOL

Bobby...clearly had ulterior motives with that question in the stairwell...he just told you he wasn't oblivious as before Jinhwan

In retrospect, maybe that should have been Jinhwan’s first clue.

THAT PARAGRAPH ABOUT HOW THE GROUP INTERACTS WITH AND LOVES HANBIN THOUGH...so cute

[kalopsia]

LOL THAT IS HOW YOU SUBTLY AND DELICATELY WRITE A BALANCED POLY RELATIONSHIP, IS IT NOT??

screams, i am always so guilty of using bobby as either comic relief or a plot device or both, but it works out so well ;; where would anyone be without bobby honestly! and hehe, i definitely indulged with that paragraph a bit. i'm so weirdly fond of hanbin, and i love how ikon is so fond of him too uwu

Thank you so much for this sweet comment!

ELLIE T_______T!!!! there are no words i can give you to properly convey how you are actually The Best. thank you for reading this Not Winner Not-Bobby/Not-Bobby fic for me ;;

thank you so much for all your feedback! it's always so greatly appreciated <3 and yeah, it's really difficult for me to write in Not Bobby #1's POV, just because he isn't as insolent and strong in his personality as other idols, and he's pretty hard to get down in general u___u so i'm glad that his voice still managed to come through! and i'm also glad my dialogue worked for you, because i definitely took on your advice of working around key dialogue while writing this, especially near the end where i was getting stuck. thank you ellie-senpai u___u

no seriously, YOU ARE ALWAYS SO GREAT, THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT, I DO NOT DESERVE YOUUUU.

IM SCREAMING

[kalopsia]

not so loudly!!!

[dicktouch]

omg where to start.... FIRST of all this was a perfect hanbin pining fic and everything i never knew i wanted u___u lfsdkm and more interesting and fun and brilliant cause it was from jinhwans pov and im a coward who takes the easy way out and writes jinhwan ships in the others pov fldksmfsldkm like!!! who is jinhwan.. do we know him really.. do we know who kim jinhwan is at all. is he even real >__< but somehow i found ur jinhwan perfect like hes so perceptive but i can totally seem him overlooking something like hanbins sad boy Feelings (cause its some form of denial?? who knows) and the pining was just TTTTTT MY POOR BOY i could surely talk about binhwan forever what a nice dynamic :ccc ive noticed this recurring headcanon of jinhwan being perfect flawless human being (IM GUILTY OF THIS AS WELL FDKLMSF) so i felt urs was perfect..ly lost in his own way..? im so sad sad but this is so nicely written the little cameos of the other kids & their relationships was so spot on as well (BOBHWE!!) and i was like kaka HOW REET MUST HAVE

[kalopsia]

omg i'm so glad you liked it!! u___u i told myself at the latest i'd get it done at least before your bday ends in l.a time, but that obviously failed, and then i was literally racing against the clock to get it done before pago pago time and x___x i wish i could've given you a fic that you hadn't already read/beta'd the first 500 words of, but i'm so incapable T___T

urgh, honestly i don't blame you for always writing in not-jinhwan's pov because honestly aren't all jinhwan pairing dynamics just basically *AGGRESSIVE PINING OVER JINHWAN*? lol like what is there to even tell from jinhwan's pov aside from /calmly accepts affections/. urgh, he's so hard to write, i'm so glad he's dead (jk). and LMAO, NGL READING OVER IT, IT'S LIKE EVERY FEW PARAGRAPHS I'M just, casually throws in aside about junhwe.

thank you so much for this sweet comment <3 i'm glad you liked it, olympic gold medalist jinhwan stan u___u ngl that golden trio did take a lot out of me, so feel free to make it up to me (jk, it was all my pleasure :* )

[fashcndy]

the author's note;; pls

sadbin never gets old. jinhwan putting everyone together. that never gets old either. i loved bobby in this too. (bobby stan voice) :B

lol your dialogue is hilarious. :) i love it.

[kalopsia]

an honest attempt at writing golden trio for the bday girl was made u___u

thank you so much for this sweet comment! <3

[sinisterkids]

uwu so many sweet & heart-wrenching moments in this. sobs i rly love the way u wrote this fic, there are so many sentences i wanna quote rip i shoulda written a comment while i was reading >___< godddd i love ur hanbin from jinhwan's eyes, how he acknowledges all of hanbin's flaws (my poor yg bot) and loves him all the same slgkjk ur jinhwan was so gr8 T_____T AND THE WAY U BUILT UP THEIR R/S WAS SO NATURAL DHLKJGH at #5 i rly thought u were going to have jinhwan reject hanbin completely, and i honestly could've taken and believed an angsty ending no matter how painful but im rly glad u didn't break hanbin's heart (and mine), and u even made the ~epiphany rly realistic too dflggk HOW!!! WHY IS EVERY1 SO GOOD AT WRITING CANON DYNAMICS IN THIS FICDOM THE STANDARDS ARE SO HIGH (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ tnx for writing this! i actually felt sth in my heart for binhwan w/o bobby (huhu altho he comes in later *sparkly eyes*) rina got so lucky this bday

[kalopsia]

thank you so much for this sweet comment!! ;; /flops on floor/ i'm so glad my jinhwan worked out okay, he's so difficult to write it feels like pulling teeth. in retrospect, it would have probably been a lot easier and probably more realistic to have jinhwan reject hanbin, lmao. because screams it was so difficult trying to think of a way to let jinhwan have his epiphany!! my headcanon is basically that jinhwan would like hanbin, because hanbin likes him, and jinhwan cares about him a lot. but how to communicate this w/o making it sound pitiful!!

thank you so much for this sweet comment, it means so much <33 and RINA CAN'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY WRITING GOLDEN TRIO NOW u___u
