Chapter 1: No comment. All I can feel is the overpowering emotions Tao must be going through right now. I just wonder as to why Sehun was becoming more 'real' I per say, how the two's relationship would be regarded as something nonexistent. But I know in Tao's heart, Sehun was definitely not real. I just hope he will not commit suicide. Man, I really hope for a sequel of this, just to know what exactly happens afterwards.

For a moment, I wasn't exactly was going to read this story (due to the way the ship was written on the foreword - coming from a Tao biased person) since I'm a picky person when it comes to literature, but this was definitely not a mistake. The way the two interact with each other, it could certainly go both ways.

For those who are wavering to read this like I have before, this will certainly make your day. Antagonistically beautiful, tis all I can say. Those two are perfect for one another, how these two can pull at your heartstrings from their happiness and own misery. Your writing is brilliant, something I would certainly be pleased to read once more round' my tastes.

Chapter 1: I think this is different in the way that most authors decide to write taohun as a fluffy, happy couple but this wasn't what I expected. You did a really really really good job with this fic :)))

Chapter 1: I really like how you build their relation from strangers to lovers. It makes it even harder for me to get over, because with your perfect choice of words you make them so real. Thank you for writing this, and all your other fanfics. C:

Chapter 1: Tears are running down my face right now. This is, like exo_panda_tao (my best friend) said, the most beautiful story I have ever read. It really is. I don't know exactly what about it has made it the most amazing, incredible, beautiful piece of writing but it is. You are officially my favourite angst author <3~ Thank you so much.

Let me just say something; normally I cannot read fantasy, but the way that this is written and expressed and the plot and the theme and the concept is just amazing. Its based on something so realistic also, as though from the position of someone with psychosis themselves. You have written the most captivating, inviting, embracing story I have ever read and trust me; I've read a LOT.
