Chapter 1: This story is amazing! The otp xiuhan never fails to bring fondness for me because they are just too cute and adorable yet y af. And xiuhan paired with your writing is heaven, seriously! I loved each and every little to big adventures that happened in the story, all the ot12 guys endearing antics and of course, the love and mystery that floated around them. I Loved how the epilogue made Luhan more cute and mischevious, it certainly cleared many confusions.

Thank you so much for writing this story. Stay well and be blessed forever :)

Chapter 1: I adore Minseok and really empathize with his struggle with inertia, whether to let himself be swept along or fight against the forward momentum he didn't direct. And his struggles with his attraction for that beautiful, contradictory hat named Luhan are so amusing since it's obvious his days are numbered. As a Kaisoo shipper I love the surprise you dealt me when Baekhyun blurts out that Kyungsoo is dating Jongin's sister. You totally subvert my expectation and that's awesome. Finally, I love the epilogue and how that totally changes everything I thought I knew about Luhan and his seeming growth through the story. This story is just fantastic and I am in love with it.

Chapter 1: I haven't had an amazing OT12 story in the last few months and aside from the fact that we have all twelve of the boys here, with Xiuhan as the main couple, and them all going on a wild cruise adventure full with laughs and bickering and romance in between, I am in love with everything you have written. I am jealous with how the rich the privileged can live their life but I am fine with just being like Minseok here, hardworking and mature but I feel for him when he doesn't have much of a choice when it comes to deciding what he really wants, that living is like being dictated by the need to survive. I can relate to him alot but demmm isn't he the luckiest to find Luhan and his amazing group of friends and discover he belongs just right with them.

That epilogue just answered a lot of questions for me and it's great to know that it was a set up for something big and made the trip incredibly more awesome! Honestly, after reading that part, you immediately make me wanna read it all over again just to take a second look at how Luhan acted in all the 3 weeks they spent together. And that confession.. Hilarious! Gosh how amazing could you be dear?! Too much... Definitely one of the best OT12 stories out there and this being a long oneshot is just about right! As much as I want this to be a multichaptered fic, I like to think it would only make me greedy and not want it to end instead. Hahaha
