the time Jongin discovers that bullies have hidden Yixing’s winter coat from him and refuses to wear his own down jacket when Yixing wouldn’t take it (you’re so stupid, Yixing had said, while walking back to the dorms through the cold);

this makes me so sad..like really.

He watched every tear trail down Yixing’s face and wondered how many have hit the floor of the stage, and how many have hit the floor of the practice room back in Seoul in the past years.

He wants to catch every single tear drop, all the ones that are falling and all the ones that should have fallen but never did - not so that they can be bottled up again like Yixing does but so that Jongin can show the world: these are Yixing’s dreams. This one is for Yixing breaking his back, this is for every ache for home, this is for every ounce of pressure he’s put on himself.

Okay so I just quoted random parts that were sooo moving/pretty..but omg way to take a happy moment and turn it depressing..typical..JKJKJK Omg this is so cute and ofc, you know how much I love the Korean member/Chinese member dichotomy SO everything works so nicely and feels so real and omg I'm gonna be late for class if I continue to sit in my room marveling at your diction so I'll just stop here.

lol you're such a super fast ninja that I think you probably would have gotten first comment anyway hahahaha.

Urgh, bullying is a touchy and emotional subject but I had to put it in here because it's one more piece of "emotional baggage" (if you will) that holds Lay down while he's chasing after a dream and one more thing that keeps him grounded to his dreams. But more importantly, it probably did happen to Lay. Since he's Chinese, you know :/ And because I feel like Kris most likely didn't get bullied because he's just so freaking tall and Tao didn't because he looks like he'll kill you if you do and Luhan didn't (well, maybe a little?) because he could pass for Korean and/or he's really friendly and open. Lay has a friendly personality too but idk :/ This is, of course, just speculation, but this is one of the many things I imagined Lay was thinking of when he cried while watching the video of EXO-M's history at the awards ceremony.

(lol why did I feel an intense need to explain that haha)

but omg way to take a happy moment and turn it depressing..typical..
LOL I KNOW. I mean, the picture of them hugging looks so happy and stuff and then I'm like LOL NOPE and just pile on the angst. Idk. Teach me your happy ways. OTL

I admit I LOVE the Korean/Chinese member dichotomy too (SM sells it so well, dammit) -- I mean, how could I not, both my OTPs are like that (BUT DON'T TAKE THAT AND SAY I LIKE HUNHAN TOO OKAY).

Thank you for reading as always ;____;

I have selective reading (tragic, I know). SPAZZ you love hunhan too?!?!?! yay!!!

I kinda have to agree with you on the bullying thing. Lay doesn't seem like the social butterfly like Luhan is, nor is he tall and/or scary like Kris or Tao. He's kind of..a dork..lol well at least in pre-debut XD But now I'm imagining some KrisLay fic where Kris protected Lay from the bully-trainees...I'm crazy and really should be doing work.

[unfinishedwing]

I have selective sight too. So I just read up to "tragic, I know". :D

WRITE KRIS/LAY AND I WILL LAP IT UP LIKE CRAZY. I dare you to write a fic with Lay as one of the main characters muhahahaha

The day I write that is the day the earth shall split open swallowing civilization.
