Chapter 3: This is so beautiful and I can't even describe it. Thank you very much for touching my heart so much. I can't say anything anymore because I'm just speechless how much feels the journey of Junmyeon and Sehun gives me. Half-empty, half-filled oth are so wonderful. God bless you. ?

Chapter 3: Needless to say I like the alternate ending more than the original. It was sweeter and didn't make me cry. But the original was more realistic. Joonmyun was so ready to just give up on life, and I knew one of them was gonna die but I thought it would by Joonmyun. Nonetheless this was one of the most angsty and realistic SeHo stories I have ever read. I want to read more but my heart can't deal. I'm being dramatic. Oh and thank God for Luhan. I'm going to read some happy stuff.

I love you author-nim.
It is just truly amazing like legit, one of the best seho stories I've read.
All the emotions are there and they're.. they're being put into categories of colors.
I truly is amazing, the way you wrote and described the characters. It is just... I'm speechless.
I don't even know what to do.
Good job!!! :D write more like this cx

Chapter 3: OMFG, let me just bask in the feels for the first one before I go on and read the alternative ending...
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
JUST OMFG... I am lost for words coz idk if any word I type as a comment will justify what I felt and how much I love this one
I LOVE how Sehun patiently made Jun come out of his shell, I love how patient he was with Jun, I may hate how Jun's past affected their possible reconciliation but how can I hate you for it when the story is really really so beautiful...
easy for Jun to crumble after Sehun's accident, but no, you didn't let him... THANK YOU for that...
THIS IS JUST... I don't think I already said how much I loved it, nor was I able to express the thoughts that are still on my mind... BUT REALLY, one of the best SeHo I ever read...
with the scarcity of SeHo fics, yours was really like an oasis in the desert... And it really really is beautiful
