I've been waiting to read this until I finished the series. And I watched the last episode just now (omg all my feels all my creys all my smiles omg), so here I am.

I did not know a show this beautiful could exist in only 16 episodes. And I certainly did not know that one short fic could break me open like this one did. This is absolutely gorgeous, Lauren.

I'm so full of feelings right now I don't really know what to say. But Hyunsoo is my darling dearest, and you've captured him flawlessly, and Yerim is so wonderful I lament we could not have had more of her during the series. And Hyunsoo's headspace with both Jihyuk and Byunghee - I can't, it's too much. And just, everything about this moves me. I'm a mess. Dongwoo!cryface level of mess.

I am particularly attached to what you've written about single children versus children with younger siblings, because YES. I would tear an arm off it would help my little sister or brother. There's nothing I wouldn't do for either of them. And Hyunsoo gets that, and you get that because of your little sis, and yeah - that's what being the oldest is. Carving out a part of yourself that lives only for them. It's different, being the older one.


I hope you write more for this fandom because there should be more about these kids from you. ♥
