MORE LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONDENSE THE AWESOME I'M FEELING INTO ONE COMMENT! I had to read it a second time, slooooowly, to absorb it all and oh god, I feel so special, I FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD ♥
I love love love love love how you wrote everyone and especially Sungmin! The protagonist! I mean, I didn't think I'd see the day you wrote Sungmin as a main character :') I AM SO BLESSED. I love the qmi, is that even surprising? Their banter and Kyuhyun the mathemagician - that's such a cool word, seriously - "He unplugged me to help, but then he wanted to keep me. Isn't that cute?" YES THAT IS SO CUTE!!!
You know that shihae isn't one of my otp but I do love them, I do, I do, and especially how you write them. Ugh it's so beautiful - Donghae takes his time to wipe his mouth, before folding his hands and bracing his elbows against the table, leaning his face close enough to Siwon's that from far away it looked like they were kissing. - I absolutely love that image, and Siwon being unnerved at the proximity but not

AW MAN, I'm sorry, please don't overthink it! there's really not much to 'get,' I mainly went by RL parallels/coincidences, etc. The matrix part is me trying to be funny -- sure, there's a film called The Matrix (...which, I guess if you haven't seen it, then yeah, some baseline assumptions might be a little confusing. The Matrix is about people living in pods controlled by machines, living out their lives in their dreams. When they get unplugged and are introduced to the real world, they tend to freak a little) -- but I wanted to be super geeky about it and insert actual matrix multiplication as a ruling principle for the fic. The dimensions of the matrix -- how many rows, how many columns, was customized to how many OTPs I wanted to insert into the story, since it's for my friend starlitbright. She had three -- Hyukmin, Qmi, Henber -- that I was aware of, so I wrote those in. I kinda wanted Hyukmin to be the ultimate OTP because Sungmin is her bias, so I needed them to be the end product. Thus...oh my god, I'm sorry, BASICALLY,

Forgot to answer this -- the girl from Florence is just another occasion of Sungmin within the matrix; it's not real. Kyuhyun has him practicing interviewing/looking for clues, in order to get him ready to look for Eunhyuk. The red pill is a reference to the actual film, The Matrix: the main character, while still in his dream world, has to choose between a red pill or a blue pill; the red one, the one he chooses, wakes him up. The blue one would have let him keep dreaming.
i love this, the aus in aus in aus. this is 5000+ words, but it felt very brief and concise and fhdskjghl man i'm trying to write a good comment rn but i'm pooped. but yeah, i like the characterizations for everyone even though each encounter was brief and OH DEAR GOD THE HENBER IS SO CUTE IDE and :c minho
It's funny both you and black_goose described the Henber as cute, because that's where I got the most stuck :\ But yeah, as the above comments might indicate, I might've tried to pack too much into a 5000 word fic...nevertheless, thanks so much/for reading! <3
Amazing. Amazing how much background work/thought went into this beyond the "I think I'll write an au about some otps." I never got beyond trigonometry in math, but your Qmi math scene gave me an intellectual woody.
And the OnJongHo. FML.
And completely oblivious Hyuk at the end.
And I'm spent. Lame comment is lame, but I throw confetti for you.
I really, really hope it made at least some conceptual sense, because considering how I struggled while writing out some parts, and at different times! I think I have a skewed view of how clean and concise it really is. But uh, too late I guess! thanks so much, I appreciate it! <333
