OK I'm flailing I AM FLAILING. So first of all I completely fail at leaving nice substantial comments but there are so many things I like about this piece so please bear with me as I go down the list, you genius writer you ;____;

Yay for creative licenses! I am grateful and absolutely love the fact that you took my incoherent mumble jumble, smoothed it out and gave it a consistent POV (thank the lord!) Junsu is definitely the way to go since I realize I did make him/his motives quite ambiguous. But you take such nice advantage of that ambiguity.

I like how the story starts with Hyukjae's confession and Junsu's attitude as his "best friend" is getting his ass handed to him XD This is exactly how I imagine they would be around each other, predebut, and you managed to zero in on one particular event and make everything so much clearer. Lol'ing so hard at Hyukjae breaking a kiss down to a science and being a weirdo about it. And Junsu being just as weird and them tag-teaming the bully is the perfect icing on the cake

omg, you flatter me so ;~~; i'm even worse at replying to nice substantial comments like yours.

well first and foremost, i'm so relieved that you enjoyed this! honestly, i was really apprehensive whilst i was writing this, because i kept wondering whether or not i was straying too far from your set story, but i'm thankful i was able to anchor it somehow. this is my first remix thing(?) so i wasn't too sure what the parameters actually were for remixing stories. i'll admit i was a tad bit selfish. because i've always wanted to write one-sided!hyuksu from junsu's side, because junsu is SUCH a bitch to hyukjae that he reminds me of that little boy pulling his crush's pigtails in kindergarten. lmao

Wow. I'm not sure what drew me to reading this, since I'm not a fan of either band, I think it may have been the title. The wow wasn't really over the way this was written (not that you didn't write this well, very easy to read and it flowed nicely), but more because of the twist. I read the original first, and considering the length of the original, I thought it'd be so easy to get away with merely copy and pasting the dialogue and just changing the perspective around, but you injected a whole new character to the story (metaphorically). Respect author-non. Respect.

At first i thought that setting it in high school at the beginning with the cheersquad was a bit random, but then I went back to the original and realised Junsu had referred to it and I openly LOL'd. That was a great idea, to use such a seemingly insignificant piece of information and expand on it. Hats off.

HAHA. i'm glad you took my remix as being creative! honestly, most of the credit goes to the wonderful original story. i just gave it some cliche high school background and depleted all feelings of mutual platonancy.

thank you for the kind words, anon! they were very appreciated :)
