This is such a beautifully written story. Short and bittersweet but so hopeful too, I really liked it!
Minho's way of living by his own rules and Jisung's dual way of being are so well portrayed, together with their dynamic and the meaning of their bodies talking more than their words (even though it's apparent words will always be needed to accessorise the meaningful touches sometimes too!). The canon au circumstances and Jisung's pessimistic shut down... Also 2Min's dynamic! Wonderful. Minho's character being this strong silently supporting boulder for everyone but also this tender heart... A++ loved it. Oh and I have two favourite lines as well.
"[...] it was difficult to undo all the ways his body had learned to be alone." ouch relatable. simplicity that packs a complex punch!
"Maybe, if he abused these arms that lied to him he’d learn not to trust them again." oh minho our sweetheart... :( also relatable and packs a punch. just really loved this line and his inner turmoil and ALSO kinda unrelated to the quote itself but i loved that he respected himself enough not to let himself be used and hurt more while also respecting (what he thought) Jisung wanted while also still taking care of literally everyone. ahh messy feelings but they made it in the end :')
So yeah, this is my 2am probably-very-messy commentary but I just gotta emphasise that I really loved your story. Your writing skill and characterisation are lovely in my opinion. I will definitely keep this bookmarked!
Thank you for writing it and sharing it! 💖
