i do believe that this habit of inserting typographically represented faces has become a trend. i think i enjoy it.
i am pleased you mentioned A. i do believe that A is a happy ending as long as one a) does not ship hoya/dongwoo and b)assumes that hoya might be happy with getting married and watching his best friend get married and grow old with families of their own. dongwoo and hoya do stay friends, and there's a tinge of bittersweet there, but unlike in western countries where it is slightly more acceptable to be outwardly gay with a same-sex life partner, it is much more stigmatized in south korea. that is why K is not the happy ending, even if it's the ending we all wanted to read. it's the ending that is hard and trying and sad and possibly full of anger and secrets and revelations to the press and public shame and humiliation, but it's also the ending with mutual respect and love and understanding. i guess one could take it either way. i'm glad you brought this up; it was an issue i'd wanted to address at some point, regardless.
actually, i'm just curious as to why myungsoo keeps going. i have a hunch, but i'm still curious (heh)
perhaps, one day, i'll write that story.
finally, thank you very much for your thoughts. i enjoyed reading them. i am not nearly that lovely, but i endeavor to write stories people enjoy. i am constantly taken aback by how many people have enjoyed these. it is perhaps one of the greatest incentives, other than reifica's absurd insistence.

i'll try and add more "typographically represented faces" then, hahaha! ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ
ah... reading your explanation, the last line makes a lot more sense than it did before. thank you for explaining; it's always a nice "easter egg" to know what the author's intentions were. ヽ( ´¬`)ノ
perhaps... oh my. now you're giving me hope, hahaha, that you will write such a story. (/u\)
you're welcome (and i'm thankful for your successful endeavors in writing such enjoyable stories) ♥♥♥
