Chapter 6: Hi author - nim you don't know how much you made me cry , the pain that baekhyun gone through is to much, I wish he never goes to that wedding. If I were him I never show up it make me more hurt. I really want more off this story kind of " sequel " maybe? I want to know chanyeol point of view. I'm just hoping, BTW I love this story so much specially those poem

I'm not reading it yet--- simply because I'm not ready for heart broken after going through these comments and knowing that it's sad ending--- I'm really curious about the storyline tho but I can't effort another heart broken after been rejected by my 2 year and half crush few days ago--- and honestly baekhyun sadness is mine too so I'll keep this stories in my library first and will come back if I need a cry stimulus... Not a fan of angst but will find some if I feel like suicide

This is so heartbreaking. I cried a lot. Though Chanyeol's love for Baekhyun is so genuine, it's not the love Baekhyun had hoped for. Sad reality of life. ?? Thank you so much for this! I love your writing style. Probably my favorite ChanBaek fic so far. Yeah because I love hurting myself ?

Chapter 4: I find myself reading this, at least five times every year since I found it.. it is so perfectly written in so many levels... and I will never get over your poem, I know it by heart...
I don't think I ever left one comment here actually... idk why... either way, such a sad but realistic story... good work

Chapter 6: Along the way I wish Chanyeol does feel the same way too, but thay would hurt both ladies..... It was sad how Chanyeol is so naive, but Baekhyun kept it till the end. He was so hurt badly, if I were him I dont know if I could keep it for that long, seeing the love of your life love someone else other than you... Baekhyun, give him a pen, and let him write his own story. Let him be his own author.... For once, just for a second, let him be happy, with a mere pen....



Lastly, I wish..... I really wished that he's happy....

Chapter 5: I think I've always searched for this fanfiction... maybe not the dark truths of some of the lives baek has led but perhaps I've always craved the fact that I want baekhyun to be the writer of his own story to be able to control when and how and if chanyeol falls for him, because it doesn't always happen, and that's really sad but he lived through those sad stories and cries for all he has and all that he doesn't before he moves into the next life where he knows there's a chanyeol waiting for his baekhyun.

I've always wanted to read something like and I'm so glad I've found it.

All thought the last couple of lines indicate an open ending... I think it just means that Chanyeol and Baekhyun have fallen in love at different times, in different dimensions and places and that baekhyun has witnessed them all, good or bad.

It makes me think that perhaps he's an angel or a time traveller or something just so extraordinary and out of this planet, but he finds his lover over and over again. He wakes up every time in different universes, searching for his Chanyeol. He doesn't stop wanting and hurting. But he's the kind of protagonist we want, even if we are hurt because of him.

Lastly I wanna say that this is a beautiful fic. It's akin to something I've always wanted to read about : When Baekhyun doesn't stop reincarnating into various versions of himself and he continues to look for and love Chanyeol because he has his memories and he knows he definitely has a soulmate, gay or not. Baekhyun will always find Chanyeol.

Thank you. I'll continue crying now

Chapter 5: This makes me so sad, I know this is a fictional story but it just makes me so sad that sometimes things just don't work out.
