" it was true that Kim Dokja indeed had a certain preoccupation with Yoo Joonghyuk’s happiness in that round, falling short only to one other." ofc this has been kdj's #1 wish after 13 years of loving the same man's neverending story..... but love especially that this wish thrums strongly in the rounds where kdj is involved. like wow!! essentially going "do i make you happy" KDJ THE SOFTEST GAY 👐💝🤗
"How fortunate I am to have been wrong, Kim Dokja reflects, looking back at this round’s Yoo Joonghyuk with sad eyes, how fortunate, and how undeserving." my god i am crying how can one reader be in so much love with one protagonist I FEEL LIKE A SINGLE DAD WITH A KDJ-SHAPED HOLE IN MY HEART....
“that I want to be by your side far more than I have ever cared about being happy.” THERE IT IS!! THE 0TH GAYNESS INHERITED AND REVAMPED OVER 1864 LIVES!!!!!!!1
"what you do to me is exactly how I’m meant to be.” yjh the tortured Grimdark protagonist, after meeting kdj, turns into the most exquisite Romance ML ever and this is the only charadev i'll accept!!!! CANON
"the two women dressed as an angel-devil pair floating above his shoulders, " BREATHES HEAVILY sangsu... supremacy.........
"Yoo Joonghyuk curls his fingertips into the back of Kim Dokja’s hand, and, emboldened, Kim Dokja continues" love how the smallest gesture from yjh sends kdj to 1000% truly kdj is the most whipped husband....
"more like a rant on Yoo Joonghyuk’s idiosyncrasies than ardent words of love" it's BOTH!! sobs kdj going full fanboy mode for his #1 hero slash husband..... while yjh is out there sprinkling their not-relationship with teeny gestures kdj is out here Reading out a list of reasons to love yjh like this is the goodreads comment section. truly a Reader's way of confessional theatrics..... WHY IS KDJ SO PRESHUS 😭😭😭💞💞💞💞💞💞
"but I actually really hate that about you.” kdj (and yjh) really is the embodiment of 'love and hate are 2 sides of the same coin' i love kdj being mushy in love with just that crackle of bratty pettiness that makes him so endearing after all. no wonder yjh just jumps him (same)
"The initial press is shocking in its gentleness, " world's most emotionally constipated man wakes up and chooses Gentleness and this is what we call gay charadev!!!! man is a gay legend 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
"After ensuring Kim Dokja’s lack of resistance, Yoo Joonghyuk covers him more completely, pouring himself into the ensuing kiss with a more characteristic, bruising force." and i appreciate the ferocious follow-up to that gentle preamble because yjh is still yjh. INCREDIBLE CHARACTER MOMENT can't believe u made kissing sound IC....... what a talent ❤❤❤😍
"like Kim Dokja is something that cuts away at the skin but impossible to go even two seconds without." this fic really is a whole jungdok.docx but lines like these encapsulate riotously their dynamic and i love how you keep doing it repeatedly throughout this fic without a hint of redundancy. again SUCH TALENT
"he doesn’t know how he’s going to keep his hands off of Yoo Joonghyuk ever again." kdj... soft and whipped and THIRSTY in one devotional package of Reader wow truly the perfect man
" Kim Dokja’s heart is pounding as though it means to leap out of his chest and find a new home within Yoo Joonghyuk" such an adorable line MY GOD THIS IS SWEETEST KISS SCENE I'VE EVER READ IN A WORK OF FICTION kdj really giving his whole heart away to yjh!! (FURIOUSLY RUBBING THE WEDDING WATCH)
"His hand is bigger in Yoo Joonghyuk’s hair than Lee Seolhwa’s had been, but he’s surprised to find that it doesn’t look wrong there either." kdj peacefully accepting his gayness THIS IS TRULY THE BEST CONCLUSION TO A 551 CHAPTERS OF A READER'S GALAXY LOVE.......
"she’ll probably be asking to see the ring on Kim Dokja’s finger the next time she sees him." i am 100% hsy-brand certain that yjh already has marriage forms signed and ready under his mattress (no) but really this fic is a whole thesis on how inevitable jungdok happy ending is after the epilogue.
"really isn’t something that Kim Dokja should be thinking about right now, only minutes after their first kiss." i am just HELLISH SCREECHING at the sheer whipped energy of one fictional man... i am glad jungdok is happy and gay. +kdj's mind spiraling over watch symbolism in the middle of making out is peak kdj I LOVE THIS KDJ SO MUCH!!!!! your kdj voice is flawless i must say
"Kim Dokja’s not sure what the fixation there is about, but doesn’t mind as long as Yoo Joonghyuk is comfortable." 5 mins into his first relationship and he's already enabling his lover's neck kink. kdj will ofc be perpetually foggy to the universe of love that yjh swims in drawing kdj's name over and over in the stars but kdj doesn't even know how whipped HE is for yjh and i love that. when ur love for ur SO is too profound for ur own brain to process........ even the bed is breaking under their weight of Gay
"the person in his arms is someone who was created solely for him." I LOVE HOW THIS FIC WRAPS UP WITH ORV'S ULTIMATE JUNGDOK THEME OF READER-PROTAG
"“and, I think I’d like it if you came along with me, too.” 5 minutes and kdj's planning long-term honeymoon. man has been ready to get hitched for 20k+ years. amazing. a reader meant to love 1 protagonist the rest of his life......
"same familiarity one would open up an old and dearly beloved novel." again such a beautiful allusion to relationship dynamics i keep fawning over how eloquently you reinforce their brand of love at the perfect moments like slow, blooming buds of realization.
“Tomorrow,” he says quietly, his lips grazing Kim Dokja’s jaw when he speaks into the skin there, “I will buy you a new phone.” again this man can't stop being Smooth now that he's Officially Married and happy........
wow ok i began reading this with my morning coffee and it is already lunch time, my slow reader ass only has time to leave behind disjointed bits of frothing that my mind is too love-mushed to construct into even a skeleton of a well-ordered essay this fic deserves. i have major respect for people who write canonverse, first of all, and post-epilogue writers BLOW MY BRAIN the sheer challenge of tying the orv ending to a fic you wrote yourself is amazing and you did it with such seamless grace if i ever drag a friend into orv hell this is one of those fics i am going to shove into their face as post-epilogue therapy. just WOW this is practically canon how well it relates back to canon. all the canon dynamics you weaved into this fic so BEAUTIFULLY DONE with such studied care i can tell this came from a place of profound post-epilogue deluge of Feels™ haha. such a raw and robust piece of art!!! i would like to hang this masterpiece in museums thank you.
i love the sedulous way kdj aligns everything to his spotty and tragedy-twisted logic in his own adorable effort to make sense of the deluge of love he's showered with suddenly after 20k+ years of watching behind a screen, having never fully manifested into the picture, where only the 'better half, commercially successful, bestseller' 49% did make it to the picture of heroes he sees them all to be, the salvation to his ugly pathetic 1-star 51% story....... all of 100% loves all 100% of them including yuhan Terribleness and i am just melted into a puddle of goo over the softest man in history that is kdj.
definitely had to reach for tissues at some places (basically every heartful bit of kdj dialogue) because i love kdj and a fic that celebrates kdj (and his tenderly budding happiness at last with his hubby & family) with so much raw love and compassion just makes me clutch my heart to keep it from melting through my fingers
thank you sooooo much for writing this fic izumokun-meowhyeoknim.......... this truly is the happy ending everyone wished for in ORV.
(wow after breaking up this comment into chunks i am truly feeling sorry for ur inbox.... DAD IS SORR)
the double take i did earlier today seeing that my inbox had Three messages in it, only to open it up and see Your username and go “ah yes one of my favorite fic writers for orv. wait but i haven’t left a comment yet on their newest fic. wait this is my fic. WAIT THEY’RE ALL…?” needless to say i had to put my phone down and mentally prepare myself to read a multiple-thousand word comment on something i wrote last year by someone who i admire greatly because otherwise i think i would have pulled something.
but anyways. wow. Wow. i do NOT know how to respond to this other than say that i think you just changed my life a little. not like, dramatically, but i’m not the same man who i was when i woke up this morning. seriously.
FIRSTABLY, reading your comment made me feel like a fucking genius. it did! this, however, is Not the case. this fic was born from me rotating post-epilogue snippets within the privacy of my mind palace for months after finishing the novel before eventually opening up a gdoc and seeing how long it would take for me to get jd to kiss the stupid out of each other starting from where chapter 551 left off. the fact that i ended up with something of a jd dissertation was merely a fluke. nonetheless your overwhelmingly thorough praise had me going “wow, maybe i really Did do something there,” but rest assured i made sure to deflate my ego a hair before attempting to reply to you.
unfortunately i’m no alpha chad such as yourself and am incapable of responding to your comment in full, but i do want to say that i’m very happy to hear this fic could hit home for a kdj stan, if only because i am an unrepentant yjh fanboy and i fear that this is painfully obvious by the way this fic is written in particular. i don’t think my reputation will ever fully recover from how hard i projected my silver fox yjh fetish on kdj here, but your comment alone made the social suicide feel almost worth it.
and there are no words in any human language that fully express my gratitude, and only saying thank you feels incredibly lame, but i’m afraid you’re just going to have to forgive me for that. so: thank you, for reading and commenting, you’ve made more than just my day or week.
(for the record, i am tickled PINK by you always referring to me as “izumo-kun” even though he’s not my icon anymore. i remember being so pleasantly surprised the first time you recognized not only me but what my icon was from because awairo emaki is legitimately one of my favorite bl mangas of all time despite its short and sweet nature. ((and i strongly advise for you to keep your hands to yourself in any of our future interactions lest i finally go in to shake your hand and dislocate both of our wrists.))
