OHHHHHH THEY ARE SO GOOD AND KIND TO EACH OTHER (which i think is the soonhao thesis, where minghao is minghao and soonyoung is always just incredibly kind. they are each other’s safe spaces!!!!!!!!!!) i loved ur prose and minghao voice, the confidence/nonconfidence that he exudes in trying to be better… he is utterly human & i appreciate that . thank u so much for writing this lovely moment

some tidbits i liked:
+ He used to hate books like this because they made it seem so easy; like self-awareness could ever do anything but make him hate himself in new angles. T____T AUGH AUGH SO TRUE BESTIE… minghao u just get it
+ Soonyoung likes to be quiet and calm. Like a wild cat conserving its energy for the hunt. soonyoung introvert truther
+ this scene "It's a-about trying to become a stronger and more independent person," Minghao says. He cringes. That barely scratches the surface. Fuck, why can't he explain this right? "But it's too difficult," Minghao continues.

Soonyoung nods, his hand still pressed into Minghao's stomach.

"Everything in here is difficult," Minghao finishes, feeling his face burn at the intense focus Soonyoung is looking at him with. ughhhhh the way minghao is visibly struggling but soonyoung is just. trusting and patient…
