tears... so many tears... this is beautiful

the playlist you suggested really fit the story and omg

“yeah, i’m usually picky about who i let in my mouth, but minseok’s cute enough.”
THIS LINE. REALLY. MINSEOK IS ALL AROUND CUTE AND SEXY. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.

astro cat yawns; minseok groans, shaking his head, “he’s all like look into your eyes, and i’m just butter-butterflies, you know? a right mess.”
NOBODY CAN RESIST KIM JONGBAE. minseok pls.

he leans over to his side to kiss jongdae again. now, he has another creature comfort to add to his shower list: #1 jongdae kim, boyfriend.
[SCREAMS] #1 JONGDAE KIM, BEST BOYFRIEND EVER.

This was breathtakingly gorgeous and your choice of music and the setting (away from Korea things are different, childhood foods,...) and I always pictured Jongdae as a radio host!! Also Minseok is the cutest dentist I'm so jealous of his patients. And kittens! The progression of the story was so natural. Just wow. ☆彡

cries this means a lot, tysm <33

[bluedreaming]

I'm sorry I just felt the need to reiterate how much I loved the music (and the story of course). ♡ (please ignore me)

[shanwens]

[sinisterkids]

sobs that's what i was going for, im glad it got across for u. thank u for ur lovely comment <333

this gorgeous fic, fuck

the setting and the characters and your prose and ugh the sex too (kinky sex would also be beautiful, i chose to believe)

and ahhhh certain parts, like minseok being married to his job, and ohhhhhh playful banter and bickering over music (that's my favorite thing tbh), and the way they're complementary pieces that fall so easily into each other
like how jongdae's introduction in his life was a welcome sort of chaos to the perfect routine of his life, just shaking up, making him get divorced from his work ;;
like yeah this line
minseok has been so used to the tranquil humdrum of life that he’s forgotten what it was like to be spontaneous, adventurous, himself and not this boring, lonely shell of the minseok he once was. jongdae came in and shook everything up, turned over his neat piles of colour-coordinated socks and made him feel again

and also oh god the diasporic angst and minseok kinda comforting him through that,
oh those parts all hurt in a really beautiful way

just so well-written and realand the
