oh my god i am so delighted by this concept. despite the little heartbreak of soonyoung not being one of them, i am so delighted by the hoshisms that still exist, including his shoujo protag reactions to seokmin. like fanning his little face! what a great orb he is!!! you did such incredible justice to this prompt and i'm amazed by how wonderfully you weave a world in a short period of time. i like this line a lot:

As an idol, you get used to suppressing voices inside your head. Usually, they’ll belong to netizens who have all the time in the world to sit down and insult you from the safety of their computer screens, but sometimes, and in Seokmin’s case, it’s the sound of your soulmates.

and i think the idea that hoshi copied joshua's eyebrow slit...that's such a genius reversal and i kiss ur brain for that
