So I told myself to hold off on reading this because I wanted to read this at work but I honest to god couldn't stop myself from finishing this fic.

The thing I love about your writing and the way you build your characters is that everything feels so REAL. It's not just Jongin and Chanyeol in a hypothetical situation but truly watching Jongin fill into this human being that I love, appreciate and understand. I love Chanyeol, I love the way he treats Jongin but I also love his sincerity. It's isn't about the end so much with Chanyeol and Jongin but the journey that Chanyeol gains with Jongin and I love that the most. I feel that the most. That Chanyeol's sincerity comes from his interest and not just for Jongin's body.

I love that Jongin emphasizes how comfortable he is. How easy it is. How he doesn't feel pressured. The hardest thing about doing something you're uncomfortable with, isn't just doing it but everything else that comes with it. It's the pressure that's placed by not knowing the intentions of the other person. It's not knowing whether what they say is what they want. It's not knowing a hundred of things that could happen but I absolutely loved how Jongin was never pressured, pushed or even encouraged to do anything he wasn't comfortable with. From the moment that Taemin asked him to come out with him it was always Jongin's decision. And I think that's what makes this fic even more beautiful and so satisfying is that it's truly from beginning to end Jongin's decision.

Jongin's character is so realistic and so powerfully emotional in so many ways I don't think I can quite encompass what it feels like. I love his thought process of wanting to see Chanyeol. I love his shy behavior, and uncertainty and how Chanyeol sort of blends in well with those features of Jongin. I love that Chanyeol is kind and carrying and I love that his interest was never to GET Jongin but just know him, learn him. Their relationship is so GOALS i don't know what to do.

I think your writing has such a realistic tone to it but also there's a level of clear intelligence in your writing. You know your characters, you know what they want, you know the progression and you understand the way you write them and how they come off. You understand your characters and what positions to put them in to show the best and somewhat worst of their personality. And I think that's what makes your writing so alive. It really truly just pops off the pages with how you're capable of making each of your characters 3D from a page.

After reading this fic, I wish I had a friend like Jongin and a boyfriend like Chanyeol. I wish I could be friends with them and continue to see them blossom.

I just truly enjoyed this fic and I truly enjoy your writing. Thank you for writing this!
