hello???? Hello???????
oh this is so Juicy oh my god I love this so muchhhhh

I'm losing my mind holy shit
The way you've written the little mystery and suspense? surrounding why Seokmin is back at Mingyu's door again and how Mingyu ultimately lets him back in despite everything and the reminders of what they were before and the painful almost-familiarity??? and what Isn't there anymore between them?? like

Maybe a long time it would have worked, but now Mingyu is left empty handed, unable to decipher the words written in Seokmin’s eyes.

I am wriggling like a little worm in the dirt that is my emotions (very positive, I love this)
AND

This time they are liquid with unshed tears, as if coming to plead for his help is harder than leaving him behind. As if standing in front of his rage is worse than seeing his heart break.

this is living in my head forever their dynamic is so (chefs kiss) I adore how you've written this (and the other fic you linked!!!)

also that ending????

but hope is just the poison of the foolish.

And Mingyu is still a fool in love.

this absolutely sucker punched me, socked me right in the face, got a death grip around my heart, this was so so good thank you so much for writing this ;^;!!!
