I've started this story start of 2018 and it's a shame I couldn't finish it back when Tempo came out.

Chapter 5: ???????????? okay so much happened and I am super duper happy that Some major moves were made in the BaekChen “I stare at you and talk to whenever I can but yeah I dunno” department!!!!! I would also like to say that O really liked the fight scene as you have managed to portray it much more realistic than I am used to reading!!! For example the description of all the different feelings both emotionally and physically!! Also the way Yifan was shaken up after his first (major?) fight, managed to give the fight scene much more realistic vibes! But that also brings me back to the fact that I am incredibly worried for the boys.... ugh the fact that the police doesn’t even do anything posses me off and naturally it is because these insufferable jerks can also pull strings there which if we think about is pretty damn common in such situations and especially in such small towns.... also Baek... hmm will he leave bmx riding? It is making him stressed and isn’t taking a toll on his body both physically and mentally.... he really kinda exploded on Chanyeol there >~< oh and is Zitat alright? Do you think this uneasy feeling coming off him while bidding farewell, because that is exactly what he was doing, is because he doesn’t think he is going to see them again! What has he gotten himself into...... well and now the most exciting part..... THE KISSES LADIES AND GENTS!!!! The kissES yes you have heard me right, plural and this in very short time span of f an evening/ a night >~< I hope Baek will have the courage (and balls) to finally confront his feelings for Dae and not try to run away and drown himself in practise until all he can feel are his aching limbs and all he can think about is resting... you know his unhealthy habit ...... come on Baek Dae is such a catch and if you don’t feel this way (which I and everyone else with a semi functional brain doubt) don’t lead the poor boy on!! Well thank you for writing with all the mess that is going on!!! Stay healthy everyone and until then!!!

Chapter 4: Ah okay soooo two major feelings for this chapter once again! Oh and to start.... I FREAKING KNEW IT!!!! THESE JERKS!!!! Seriously they are getting on my nerves and to see my fears being confirmed and Baek voicing out being afraid of being targeted just because he hangs out with them makes me so so mad! And of course the damn police has to be corupte.... these boys are seriously harmless compared to that wrenched group of devils.... like seriously I wouldn´t call that a warning or creating a mess my lovely boys...... On the other hand I am feeling so giddy, because of Baekhyun´s developing relationships with the "gang" ^_~ and of course Jongdae! To see Baekhyun opening up to them and them accepting him and defying his fears of rejection is making me so happy for him! I can tell things must have been hard for him and I sympathize with him and Jongdae dear you never fail to make me chuckle >~< It certainlyl hasn´t been any easier for him as well, losing his first passion and going through all that ... I am happy that he found like minded people who accept him for who he is! Maybe Baek will be one of them soon ? Oh and BAEKHYUN DYED HIS HAIR BLACK!!! THE SUPERIOR HAIR COLOUR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! Ah the next chapter is going to be an emotional one am I right? Well then I cannot wait for it and will prepare ice cream and tissues! Thank you for this amazing story and always keeping me on my toes (like seriously everytime the tension between Baek and Dae rises or there is a scene where I am like "now it will happen.....now KIS- nevermind he fell asleep.... again")! Hugs and kisses go out to you and your lovely beta!

Chapter 3: Ah after such a stressful week this is just what I needed >~< the beginning of the chapter had me grinning like crazy! Litte Jongdae hitting on Yifan and geting his first bike..... ah so cute and I personally don´t think our dear Yifan is as straight as he likes to make us believe *cough cough* Chanyeol *cough cough*, but that is a conversation for another time! See I told you Baek has a nack for getting into trouble..... that boy should be careful, before he too has to stop like Jongdae did >~< OH and the tatooed men Baek encountred on his way out of the shop are they the ones who assaulted Junmyeon? What are they doing visiting Jongdae all the time..... are they threatening him? If yes, why isn´t he saying anything to the boys..... do you think they will use friends and maybe even Baek to get to him? Are they maybe threatening him to do something with Junmyeon´s personal information? Ah maybe I am just being paranoid, but the way you described the people coming in when Baek left rubbed me the wrong way....... well coming to Baek meeting a little part of the group.... I can see Baek warming up to them slowly but surely, not to mention Chanyeol who is accepting them with open arms >~< but I do wonder what buisnees there is between them and the Devil´s Desert.... oh and Luhan´s first appearance! Our dear Minseok who is exhausted after such big gatherings and the playful side of him and his friends which comes out when being together created sich a warm feeling in my chest.... especially Dae being playful! Ah I hope Baek doesn´t distance himself too much, but rather lets them in..... I cannot wait for the next chapter! Thank you two once again <3

Chapter 2: AH why do you like playing with my heart like that? At first I got a mini heart attack, because of the incident with Junmyeon and then having me all uwu, becuase of Chanyeol and Yifan´s devoloping relationship! Chanyeol´s charcter has got me all uwu in this story as well (and it is very truthful) >~< Oh and seeing fanboy Baek getting all flusterede by his idol Minseok is honestly so adorable and I owe him one, because he played and plays a major role in Baek approching Jongdae in the first place so that they actually get some talking done! I think it really is admirable how Jongdae and his friends look out for each other and now for Baek as well! My heart always flutters when they get closer to each other and when Baek held on to Dae while riding the bike ? and I would be lying if I said my heart did not skip a beat when the scene with Jongdae leaning back on his back manifested in my mind >~< well fangirling aside I am genuinely curious and worried about that group of deliquent drivers... now that they also know where Jongdae´s studio is and what could they have possibly done with Junmyeon´ s info and cards... I think Jongdae should have told them about it and I am worried that Jongdae´s new customer did not go unnoticed by them.... ah please stay safe everybody.... I hope they won´t do anything reckless... Well once again thank you for this amazing update, your lovey beta as well, and I cannot wait for the upcoming update!

You have worked so hard on this and it has finally been posted! Hopefully this will get as much attention as the amount of work you poured in. Yeah, you're more than a year late for Tempo but that era was so iconic that none of us will never forget. Long live biker Jongdae (and BMXer Baekhyun of course)!
