Review: I can't even begin to emphasize on how wonderfully written this fic is, and how lucky we baekyeol shippers are to have extraordinarily talented authors like surgicalfocus to satisfy our baekyeol needs because her writing skills are just unsurpassable. This particular fic just blew me away- from the way the author manages to convey the raw emotions of a fictional version of Baekyeol to the way she tackles a very real problem, namely homophobia, in this and makes the reader understand how unjust it is to be taunted for a having different ual preference from the norm is just wonderful. I love how she also manages to incorporate bullying and its disastrous side effects into this to all in all create an amazing piece of what can only be called art.
