I laughed so hard about Gyu almost not hating his friends anymore. AND WOOHYUN WITH A MOUSTACHE NO PLEASE SOMEBODY STOP HIM!

“I don’t like dating. Or people.”

LOVE.

The Woogyu faux-hatred bff-ery is killing me in the best way. I can only imagine how disastrous their labs were and it delights me to no end. I’m just in love with their dialogue.

It was true that there were usually a lot of ornamental bears at those places...

I keep snickering.

He did. He asked all of them, and Dongwoo patiently answered.

This is so delightful.

As the meal went on, Sunggyu couldn’t decide whether Dongwoo was a slow eater or just an inefficient eater. He would pick up his fork, and then one of two things would happen. He would either put the fork down and start to talk, or he would put the food in his mouth and start trying to talk.

The details are so delicious.

What he couldn’t say was, I wanted to be an idol, I wanted my voice to be heard in more than words. I gave up. Simple things.

This breaks my heart

Thank you!!! Ahaha, I was happy that you found my fic... out of curiosity, was it obvious that this was mine? Either way, very glad you liked it! Sunggyu as a big grump was so fun to write, and I thought him with the effervescent Dongwoo had a lot of potential for comedy!

I love watching Dongwoo eat food (or, try to eat food). This interview from a while ago was in my mind.

Maybe Woohyun conspires with Sunggyu's mom to get him out of bed and to do his laundry more than once a month. In fact, Woohyun probably has everyone's mom's number. Moms probably give Woohyun their numbers, haha.

(Takeout online is the best.)

I think that Sungyeol as Sunggyu's boss (and brother) would drive both of them nuts.

I find Donggyu so sweet but there is not enough fic for them--Thanks for commenting!

It wasn't obvious, no! I had it on my list of possibilities for you since it was well-written but I didn't know for sure!

This is my new favorite headcanon.

Donggyu is so sweet--thanks for writing them!

[kaiosea]

Thank youuuuu! That's a very high compliment :D Ahahaha I wanted to give Sunggyu a fixation upon some strange, eccentric hobby that from the start I imagined to be bears, and I couldn't resist the title pun. Glad you enjoyed!!
