dude. WHAT. i don’t even know where to begin. first of all, this jeonghan is EVERYTHING. his prickliness, his tendency to unconsciously run away. i love fic that latches on to the way jeonghan always seems to hide behind a facade and pretend he’s fine, and seungcheol coming to break down that mask is just UGH. so devastating.
so many lines made me want to run around the room and lie down at the same time. here are some faves: That’s why, the first time Seungcheol breaks down in front of him in the studio, Jeonghan doesn’t know what to do. -yes. absolutely. what do you do when the leader who’s always been tough for u, the leader who always seemed to know what he was doing, suddenly loses his way? it’s so disorienting and you nailed this throughout. the why me repeated throughout as well. gosh. the right thing to do (comfort) vs the parts of you that don’t want to do the right thing. so human. so painful. Neither of them exchange words, they don’t even look at each other. Jeonghan swallows thickly, wondering which one of them will be the first to break. -sobbing “I told you before,” Seungcheol murmurs, not meeting Jeonghan’s curious gaze. “Don’t run.”
“I’m not running,” Jeonghan says. -im not crying at all.
op you did so well. im stunned and pained by these two imperfect people relying on each other to stay somewhat unbroken. and the parts where jeonghan’s struggling with body image and weight…i just want to hug him.
thank u so much for writing this. i’m cradling this gently. <3
