Be Free, Lay it All on Me

Description

Hyukjae's already got a whole 'battle plan' set for the night when he gets back home. While he's mentally preparing himself for another sleepless night, he doesn't notice a living and breathing human being right where his giant teddy bear used to be.

Foreword

Prompt:

 

 

 

a haehyuk au, wherein hyukjae has a fixation on teddy bears since birth. thus, being a good bestfriend that he is, kyuhyun decided to bought a human sized teddy bear for hyukjae. considering that it could help his bestfriend to release some stress and tension as they are on their final year on university. moreover, hyukjae is having a hard time juggling his internship and mental health.

having the human sized teddy bear by his side, hyukjae couldn't be more happier, in fact he feels like gaining a new bestfriend because he could cuddle on it every night (he likes cuddles vvv much, but no one knows that!!!), could cry on it without feeling burden and first and foremost hyukjae could talk to it anytime (although, he lowkey feels stupid for doing that).

unbeknownst to hyukjae (and also kyuhyun), the human sized teddy bear (whose name is donghae, the owner found out that it has a name after seeing the engraved necklace that is hanging on the teddy bear's neck) isn't your typical teddy bear as it could turn into a human being once he have received a genuine love that he is looking for in his whole life.

months after having the teddy bear, hyukjae hurriedly went home with donghae in his mind because he wants to end his long tiring day by cuddling and falling asleep peacefully with his precious teddy bear.

after getting home he straight up went to his bedroom, immediately flickering the lights on and instead of a human sized teddy bear, hyukjae found an adorable angel looking man wearing a brown sweater sleeping on his bed.

DW: third pov, happy ending

Chapter 4: Don't touch me! I'm sensitive af 😭😭😭

I'm so glad Hae finally found what he's looking for, he just has to take it nice and slow. No pressure, bb. You got the best people around you now~

Chapter 4: That's lovely. Seems that Donghae is slowly experiencing the love and care he didn't receive before. Happy that he's also open to accepting it no matter where it comes from. Thank goodness for the kind Ahjumma. Kind of sounds like until being post-bear, he didn't experience much kindness at all. Very sad.

Chapter 3: I agree that Hae's past needs to be talked about . His mental health issue is something that will resurface again and hyuk needs to be aware on how to help him heal.
I've enjoyed all the chaps so far dear Author:)

Chapter 3: I hope they can address Donghae's issues at some point. Before he became a stuffed bear, Donghae was about to make a terrible and irreversible decision. They didn't even talk about it. Even though he's no longer a giant plushie, it seems like his problem with himself hasn't really changed. I know the answer to both of their problems seem to be each other but the problems are still there.

Chapter 3: I'm not sure if you're going to tackle about Hae's identity. I mean, he's obviously older than Hyuk cuz he was already working back then. But how will he be able to integrate into today's society? People will wonder and ask. I'm curious too~

Chapter 2: I only read the first part recently, and was excited to see a sequel. So many people are under horrific levels of stress lately. Your story that delineates so well both Hyukjae's stress *and* the fact that he's worthy of help and not unreasonable for having things get to him is a really kind thing to put out there were people who need it might find it.

Like Hae the Bear.

Oh, I felt Hyukjae's stress, worries and anxiety too much - it reminded me my university days, it's been so overwhelming i didn't know what to focus my attention to, so it hurt so much to read how he's struggling and how his thoughts are scary and dark. His teddy bear has been kind of an antidepressant to him, silently helping him get through this. You even implied Hae made Hyuk feel better about himself, like Hae had been talking to him actually. I was nearly crying about their both struggling with problems, it was painful. And I'm so glad they found each other. In the end Kyu knew his friend the best and truly Donghae is the antidote to Hyuk's fears.

I'm so happy you're continuing it! I'd love to read about (hopefully) their feelings blooming shyly; Donghae already seems to be having a little crush on his cuddly friend! I wonder if Hyuk will see him as more. He definitely sees how handsome Hae is, so it is a start. Can't wait to read more about them <3 I'm curious about the friends' reaction to Hyuk's new friend. I'm sure they will see Hae as his boyfriend haha!

Thank you for writing it!!!
