Despite not knowing U-kiss very well, I really enjoyed what you wrote :)

At the very beginning, especially with Kevin's words, the bottom of my stomach dropped. I felt everything they were feeling; their hurt, their disappointment, their anger, and as bad as it made me feel, it felt so good. This situation felt so real, everyone felt so real and solid, and after Soohyun avoiding the members, everyone storming out, Kiseob is like a beautiful fresh of air! I didn't know Soohyun and 2PM were close, either so that was unexpectedly fun and cute (especially Jay, I miss him so much :( )

I like what you wrote and especially your style (and the dialogue! So cute) -- the no-nonsense kind of storytelling providing all the details but not overly descriptive or too lacking. A perfect medium ♥

first of all, thank you for clarifying how kiseob's name is spelled. i always thought it was kiseop. but now i know that the p turns upside down.

i'm really surprised at how much i enjoyed this fic, because there are only certain situations and pairings where i'll read u-kiss. but i enjoy fic written by someone who has really a strong grasp of the people they're writing about, and it shows through the characterization. it's like meta, but as a fic. i've heard stories about soohyun, but i feel like this is the first time i understand him.

I don't know ukiss well, at all frankly, but I'm committed to reading as many olymfics this year as possible and I am so, so glad I read this. your storytelling, voice, writing, they're all fantastic. I know nothing about characterization but each character had a definite identity, and really everything about this fic kept me reading despite not knowing anything but names. this was just really, really great.

That opening scene is like getting tackled, ugh ;; These are the issues that idol groups have to deal with all the time, that tension behind the scenes that us fans would rather not think about.

I know very little about U-Kiss, but this has a very canon feel, and after finishing this fic I feel like I know a lot more about the band, now :D I love the inclusion of 2AM/PM. My favorite part is Soohyun's description of Kiseob, as someone who is very in touch with the mood and atmosphere. Your writing style is very clear. I love this entire piece.

i know almost nothing about ukiss, the best thing i can do is put names to their faces (and really, i don't know how i even got that far because i haven't watched a single show with them, except for a couple where only some of them were on it), but i'm really glad i read this despite that.

like the comment above me, i feel like i know more about them/their personalities and their relationships, because their relationships are just so clearly stated without actually stating it (if that makes sense, i never make sense). the very first scene was just so heart-wrenching, i could pretty much feel the anger and disappointment. but that's only one thing i really liked, this comment would probably be a ridiculous length if i continued, so i'll just stop now and say i pretty much love this whole fic entirely from the writing to the plot to the characterization. ♥
