how could i forget y'all lol
can't believe when this fic was made i was using mark predebut pics and now he's in like 4 groups and touring everywhere

Chapter 4: i’m actually so sad of seyong’s past and how cold mrs. hwang was towards him in the nightmare he had. what’s sad is that some parents really act that way towards their children and it kinda . a lot. p.s. idk if anybody else does it but i had a hard time matching the names to the faces of our charas so I had to pull up another tab just to hover over their pics to get a name as i read the chapters lmao.
JUBONG PLS NOTICE SEYONG AND GIVE HIM SOME LOVING. HE JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED MAGUUHHD. btw what’s the boy doing eating cheesecake for breakfast? seojun would lecture the crap out of him for that. and excuse why is joowon the one that’s going to busan with seojun LET JUNSOO COME TOO. i cried a lil on the inside until i read “only the important sons and daughters were called there for meetings with them.” rip junsoo. i’m still trying to figure out jubong because he even hates just sitting in the car with the fam- he called them lowly beings that makes me ded af. but okay he def went to far with calling poor jiu fat. it's only the first day of school and it's so crazy for everybody. i can't wait for your next update!!

SCRAMs
ok i'm so busy with school rn but know that i totally read this new chapter update and i will comment this weekend in full !!!!
bless you guys for bringing us that Quality Content

Chapter 4: love this story!! it got me so emotional and all, love ittt

Chapter 4: I'm so glad to get an update!! It was really an emotional chapter already, and somewhat relatable as I had my first day of school on Wednesday and uh, I also have the flu so like this week was a disaster with my siblings and I trying to get ready for school (Out of the seven of us, two are in college and work, one just graduated high school, two of us go to high school, one just started middle school, and the last is in elementary so we have a lot of places to go and only so much time to get everyone there). It's hectic when you have a full house, and even more hectic when you have the individual problems of the Chois. You can slowly see everyone's individual issues seeping out and affecting the others, it's really awesome. Cutie Jitae all excited for school, and then Jubong insulting Jiu's weight and ruining the fragile peace was so like awesome but terrible?? I loved this chapter and wish I had more time to comment but I'm trying to convince my parents to take my sister and I to see Spider-Man again so--
Take your time until the next update!

...what's that status feed mean ,,

Chapter 3: i only noticed i haven't read the prelude update so i'm legit really glad i fINALLY DID OMG HDDGSKASJ there's a sort of sadness in the vlog thing like idk it's soft and nice and there's a sense of family in it but IT'S STILL SAD,,, like i can feel the whole thing weighing down the family, especially in jungah's outburst i don't even know why smh but anyway!!! i really do hope the future chois are happy.

and for the chapter 1, jitae's perspective made me so sad JSDHLKALSAKL like he's a child, a baby TT TT why does a child like him have to be so sad, he just wants to be loved,,, but it's nice that he's the first one, because the pain was raw, like the whole thing. you can immediately feel pain because it's a child we're seeing, thinking and acting based on his experiences. it's sad how some children grow up like that, like they become used to the feeling of being alone, it's not a good thing, especially for children his age. and the worse thing is that we see them trying, the family members, but since the chois all have problems of their own, it's hard to deal with it like how do you help someone else if you can't even help yourself? i just want to protect jitae--- i'm so TT TT i like how haewon retorts badly towards seyong whenever he says something bad and how her anger gets out of control, like we all get that she's trying to correct him and at the least make things a bit better, but we kind of see how young she is too since she really can't handle dealing with it in a mature way. it's in this sense that we see the significance of an adult in a family, they're okay and happy to an extent, but there's this dysfunctionality and silent chaos in how they're together. FOR BONUS!!! THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD AUNTIES ARE AWFUL!!! WHY NOT GIVE THE CHOIS A CHANCE TO REDEEM THEMSELVES??? THE KIDS LIKED JITAE, HE'S JUST A CHILD. the thing i hated most was jitae crying.

this is so long lmao. i'm anticipating getting to know more of the charas so i can talk about them too lmao i wanna see how everything unfolds. choi family, fighting! annie and beth, fighting!

Chapter 3: i keep reading it and i keep losing my words so i can't really make any eloquent comment and for that im honestly sorry but its just ... this chapter is amazing. i love the way jitae is portrayed, i love the bittersweet birthday he has because i dont really see much happiness in it, but still there are people who care for him and love him and its just ... still bittersweet somehow. i really just love it. so yeah, im speechless and this is an unworthy comment but i really dont know what to say. T_T

Chapter 3: ok after school has finished kicking my , i'm back to comment :)

i think it's nice to have the perspective of jitae for our first chapter. mainly because as the youngest member of the choi's, he has the clearest vision of the family in their purest form (drawing from the fact that kids are the most honest). on top of that, we get to see them engage in his birthday (sort of) celebrations. i like that false sense of security that builds either out of your diction or jitae's perspective (or both). you get the feeling that this will be a really sweet moment with the family- and it is, for a half second- only for it to dissolve. there's also that moment of a look into the mind of jitae with him seeing no one having time for his birthday. it really shows his background and also the relationship with the rest of the choi's. it's a little bite of reality to impact the sweetness of that birthday scene.

then we get a glimpse into jitae's life at school. i remember quite a bit from jitae's app, so i had a good idea of what was coming. one of the lines i really liked was "in his head, jitae has responded several times with something dramatic, making everyone admire him and follow his lead as he walks away from the table proudly" because of how real that is. kids always fantasize of being the hero, but it never really works out like that. also, is this the segment where annie got that cameo ? is she the teacher ? if so, that's a pretty kick cameo lmao. way to save the day :)

(see replies for more)

Chapter 3: finally on my spring break so i got to sit down and read through what's posted so far--
i'm so upset for jitae... when he said he was used to his birthdays being that way it
just broke my heart so much. you know things are bad when that type of behavior
from the family dynamic just becomes so normal. :/ and the fact that the neighborhood
moms are being petty over the family not saying hello when they came is just so infuriating!
kudos to seungmin for welcome jitae so openly and fast. i'm sure he really enjoyed just
his short moments of being a regular kid. i swear i'm going to virtually poof myself into
the story to tell minhyuk off! hdu say pink is not a color for boys >:(
i lowkey am not familiar with everyone's faces so i have to keep clicking back on the forward
to check who is who! but so far, i'm really loving that jiu gave something for jitae to kind of
just breathe and enjoy the day since it was going so bad. idk if it'll ever happen but i hope
for the day that seyong can properly respond to jitae in the way that he wants, rather than
ignoring him. i'm loving it so far! junsoo reading to children is making me swooOOOoooon.
