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. How would a book know how to make me better?

It's different now. The books are beautiful. Maybe because now, he can see that he is beautiful too. this made me want to cry lol

rly rly impressed with how much growth you could show inside a single static moment!!! like i could understand so much about how far minghao had to drag himself up just from those two short paragraphs

"Everything in here is difficult," Minghao finishes, feeling his face burn at the intense focus Soonyoung is looking at him with.

Soonyoung's hand sweeps up to his chest, right above his heart, and he says, "You did well." this also made me want to cry in a different way... minghao you are doing well!!! it IS so difficult but he is doing well :( they are so sweet with each other and you showed their relationship so softly and kindly here, i really really really loved reading it. thank you for sharing it with us!!!!!!! i love u ♡
