I'm crying right now, omfg, I knew it would be beautiful, I just wasn't expecting it to be THAT stunning and ;__;

The last paragraph, oh my God, I'm a puddle on the floor, I'm a burst of bubbles floating into the air, I'm a pool of pure happy, BB YOU HAVE A GIFT.

It was so real and so... sensitively-written, you amaze me. I'm memming this so I can read it again whenever I want a piece of just, pretty pretty writing.

*cwtches you forever and ever*

I love you bb, you always make me so happy and make me feel so much better. *cusanu ti*

But don't cry, omfg. DDDD: *wipes your tears*

I've read maybe one or two other fics addressing how absolutely tiny Ryeowook is, has gotten, though now it looks like he's gained some weight - and just, God, none have left me quite as... well, nothing like this. Just. Sheena T_____T *clutches you*

The development of his disorder, and how he deals with it, seems very real and just harsh enough, and God, just that first flashback of his parents:

My meat dumpling, Ryeowook, you’re my little meat dumpling, you’re so cute. He’s about to smile at the memory when his father’s voice, rough and harsh, emerges from the depths of his mind: You fat little piece of lard, you’re useless, all you do is eat and stuff yourself silly.

It's so sweet and nostalgic and makes you smile, really, at the absolute affection in it, and then it breaks your heart into piecesAnd then Ryeowook swearing trying to get the rice back up - that was perfect, out of character for who he is in here but perfectly in character for his desperation after having eaten something like

ALSO LAKJFLD LOL AT MY HUGE COMMENT, it always looks longer after I post it *facepalms*

[thundersquall]

I LOVE YOUR LONG LONG COMMENTS KAI. =DDDDDDDDD

I'm glad Ryeowook has actually gained a little weight! It's true that in the beginning of 3rd jib promos he got scarily thin, poor baby. Aren't we glad there's always Yesung bringing him out for breakfast and making sure he eats? =p

I've been missing KangTeuk so I decided to slip them in. A little gratuitous, but I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. *wrings hands* Neither could I help ninja-ing Sungmin in (for obvious reasons) and Kibummie... well, Kibum snuck in merely because I thought he'd be so hot as the serious law student. I SO HAVE MY PRIORITIES RIGHT. *dies*

And that minidrama was the epic, it's what made me realise YeWook is married, of course I had to resort to my overused trick and reference it! =p

YOU SO NEED A YEWOOK ICON, IT IS BLASPHEMY THAT YOU DO NOT! (Although, MING. *stares longingly at him*)

I love you Kai, you darling little sweetheart. *clutches*

Oooh was this what you were writing?

Aha, something safe? From you? Shocking. (I kid)

This is the part where I gush about what you have written, it's very hard to be creative when gushing because I do it so often with your writing.

Your last paragraph <3

(Oh, the punctuation makes that paragraph flow much better I think)

[thundersquall]

Yes it was! GAH, after I got off last night I just COULDN'T stop writing, it kept coming and I ended up finishing it at 1 am. ;____;

And stoppit about my ratings *flaps at you* *dies in shame* =p

I know right, darleenk suggested I change it around and that solved it all. =DDDD

Thank you for reading, sweets! <3333 *kisses*

[bhaniere]

[thundersquall]

Thank you so much! I was slightly worried about writing this because it tackles a pretty dark topic, so I'm really glad you liked it.

Thank you for reading! ♥

Sheena, when I clicked your story there was only two comments [from darleenk] and when I posted my comment all of a sudden all these comments appeared!

[thundersquall]

*glomps you forever*

You're always so sweet to me Tina! I love your keysmashing! *buys you new keyboard*

Isn't our Yeye just perfect? =DDDD And you 13-year-old, stick to ratings that are meant for you, like this one! >_<

But thank you sweetheart, I love you. *huggles tight*

[almondsluber]

:D ::beams at new keyboard:: ^____^ IT'S SO SHINY.

Yes! Our YeYe is just perfect! Wook is so lucky, and he definitely knows that. ::sigh:: those two are just too perfect for each other. They should just hurry up and go get married already.

Sheena. I would stick to my own age appropriate ratings meant for me, but your fics are just too beautiful and amazing. They're calling me, and I must respond. ::bricks self:: But that's okay. Because you're like my only YeWook source! D:

We are meant for each other. I just know it. You write the amazingly, beautiful, wonderful fics and I'll amazingly, beautifully, wonderfully comment on each one of them like they deserve.
