what an unexpected couple, but it works.
i love the characterization, the whole opposites attract thing.
very nice work. :)

prompter here!

thank you so much for writing this! (sorry for not commenting sooner. i don't check seoulfulness very often these days)

i love this! the boys come across as very true to character. and the side characters are a delight as well!

wonderful tonight is one of my favorite b1a4 songs so I love that it's the song that catches Zico's attention.

thank you for your great prompt! it caught me the instant i saw it, because one of my favourite things about this ship is the potential musical aspect of their relationship, and i've been trying to write it for ages. i'm glad you enjoyed the fill, and that i got the song right!!

Nice pairing, there's definitely some common characteristics with those two. I enjoyed the sense of realism when they went back to Jiho's apartment, that scene was really nicely done. Good read,

WHY DID I READ THIS NOW I SHIP THEM TOO MUCH

this was really cute T_____T i really liked the way you wrote zico--likeable but just jerky enough (that line about not being a girl), just enough stunned "foot in mouth" but also his sincerity abt his mistake T_____T and jinyoung so persistent and slip-smooth charming. ofc your setting is perfect, everything feels super grounded and realistic *____* THEIR COMMONALITIES.... THEIR MUSICIANSHIP... i never asked for this goddammit

also cries for the rest of my life at "shinsadong kitten" goodbye

IT'S TIMELY COMMENT REPLY TIME

ah thank you, i'm so pleased that you liked this! (and also that you caught the line about not being a girl as me-trying-to-write-zico, because i was worried that it would be read as just me being a jerk u___u;) what a great ship, where has it gone and why won't it come back?
