Chapter 4: Omggg absolutely love this amazing fic !! Love the plots and the characters developments every step of the journey. Thank you authornim , keep up the good work 😍

Chapter 4: Wow. This deserves so many more views and likes. This is amazing. The pace was so nice. There was no or even kissing just soft boys, but I loved it. Your so talented.

Chapter 4: I almost COMBUSTED when Jongin just casually sat in Kyungsoo's lap. What I love about Jongin's character is how seemingly comfortable he is with Kyungsoo, even in the beginning. Jongin wastes no time in teasing him as if the idea of losing a customer, or getting bad reviews is not a realistic concept haha. But, Jongin also can get very shy and nervous around him, which is so cute.


< Minah isn’t Jongin, but Kyungsoo wishes she was. >
IZZY, MY HEART OTL


< “My mother introduced us at 17, and we were set to marry at 20. It wasn’t so bad at first. We’re actually close friends… She was my only friend.”

“I was lonely too,” > IZZY, MY HEART OTL PART 2


< Kyungsoo nods, mouth open like he wants to speak, but he isn’t sure what to say. He’s at a loss for words and he’s confused. Part of him wants to ask why Jongin’s mood changed, and the other half just wants to scream in frustration. > ITS OKAY KYUNGSOO, I DID THAT FOR YOU.

And can we talk about how they always tried to maneuver around calling their hangouts, dates. Oh and how Kyungsoo "kind of prefers Jongin's everything."

Even though the beach scene is a happy moment, its also sad for me when I learn of how rough Kyungsoo's past must've been for him.

< Only because it’s Jongin. He wants Jongin.

He likes Jongin.

Oh. He likes Jongin >

FINALLY


BUT THEN...



< Despite all the flirting Jongin does, there is always the chance that he doesn’t mean any of it—that Jongin only thinks of it as joke.>

KYUNGSOO WHYYYY OF COURSE ITS NOT A JOKE.


lol sorry for that lil rant.

Lastly, I really love the fact that nothing here seems to be rushed. In fact, this is the only longfic I've read that stayed so innocent, and merely focused on the story of the characters. I'm so satisfied, honestly. This fic, as well as you as an author, deserves a lot of acknowledgements and praise. Ths fic is insanely, and absolutely wonderful.

Chapter 4: Izzy! Its going to take a bit of an essay to thoroughly, and completely illustrate my feelings towards this story.

The characters, and the setting are so well done and neatly built. My heart began to ache for Kyungsoo and Minah, the minute I realized things were going to be tough for them. But(as horrible as it sounds), it was also hard for me to want them as a couple when Jongin comes around and makes Kyungsoo so happy. I LOVE Minah, though. I imagine that as the fic continues, she will find someone who is completely head over heels for her. She is a great female side character, and the way she ended up handling the entire situation is admirable on her part. And what I mean is, its awesome that she wants Kyungsoo to be happy, and its more awesome that she recognizes that she needs her happiness as well, even if that means she'll have to be happy without Kyungsoo being in love with her. If there is one thing that Kyungsoo got right in this entire story, is that she really is his friend.

< “Only the cute, married ones,” is Jongin’s response. Kyungsoo pauses as the words processes in his mind and irritation quickly builds up. >
^^^ I was like vjdsdcsjdcs did Jongin REALLY say that?


< ....because that’s what his parents wanted. Because he only cared about what they needed him to be. >

^^^ This part of Kyungsoo's character resonates with me so well. Also, as frustrated as I was with him, it makes sense why Kyungsoo is so clueless. His parents isolated from the healthy childhood he could've had, and really needed. He's only ever been close to one person before Jongin, so of course it'd be difficult for him to truly know what his feelings mean, or what they even are.

< “They miss me?” Jongin nods and takes a seat in Kyungsoo’s lap. “Hey! What are you doing?” One of Jongin’s arms wraps around Kyungsoo for support.

(this comment isn't over. I've reached the limit lol)

Really great story. I loved that it was so sweet and gentle. I mean, I like me some , but a story that focuses on the complicated emotional aspects of relationships and the characters' internal struggles is so compelling when done well. Well done! :)

Chapter 4: Wow, I just read the other day about how lucky we are to have authors sharing their work! And reading you has been an amazing experience. Indeed I am lucky enough

Chapter 4: This story is so damn cute omg i was in my feelings so much while reading this. Thank you so much for blessing my night with this story.

Chapter 4: Thank you so much for writing this! I honestly wanted to comment on the fic fest post but still didn't know how LiveJournal worked so haha.. But this was a beautiful and cute story. The idea behind it was just well thought out and the fic itself turned amazing.

oh boy so you're the mastermind behind purple macarons ! sad to say that i really enjoy your fic that contain infidelity (not really my cup of tea to be honest). It's really my guilty pleasure, i liked how you potrayed kyungsoo and how he was fallen for jongin. great work !!
