Chapter 6: That breakdown was awesome (like how you wrote it, not the breakdown itself). And this ending... So beautiful <3

Chapter 4: Whoa. I'm reading this in school and damn it's hard not to cry. I love your story!

Chapter 1: This story has been on my subscribe list for a while and I kind of regret reading it just now. I love the ending - although the whole chapter is great

Chapter 15: I'm sorry I didn't leave a comment again in between, but somehow it never felt right for me to comment after chapter 8 and now so much has happened that I don't think I can truly value everything as much as I should...
I can't believe how mature Ryeowook is. I think from all the characters mentioned here, he's my favorite one next to Yesung and Kangin, eben though I can feel along with Sung min on more levels than I probably should.
When Min simply had his way at figuring out where Wookie had cut himself, I was already extremely worried about what would happen next, though I have to admit not everything surprised me. Like Sung min being transferred to the violent ward? Let's be honest, he deserved it and he needed it. Or when Ryeowook slipped with the knife and then panicked after Sungmin's excuse? Somehow I also wasn't surprised about that, though I'm glad Min once again simply had his way and called for help.
Just like Wook I hope that someday Min will understand everything, though I also do hope they would get the chance to meet again one day. And I think you're right, the open ending fits this story very well, even though I too usually dislike open ends.
Thank you very much for sharing this FF with us! It was an emotional drain, but it was really well written and I like how your characters developed and at the same time stayed true to themselves. I wish I could somehow see what happens to them in the future, but I know there's no way for any of us to tell. I really enjoyed reading this story (as you can probably tell by the way I read it in not even 48 hours because I started and then couldn't stop reading anymore...). I'll make sure to check out more of your works as well!

Chapter 8: I kinda forgot what happened in chapter 7... XD But I'm happy to see Ryeowook is making progress! And Sungmin's case is getting a lot more serious than he allows himself to see... with hallucinations and those voices... I feel sorry for him! He honestly belongs into that ward and his mother better refrains from taking him back out again! (She's no good company for Min anyways!)
Reading about Sungmin and Ryeowook pick out a song was really sweet and I'm glad they found one! I'll see when I can check it out because I'd really love to listen to them sing a duet together! I can't wait to read the talk between Sunny and Sungmin (and I'm certain it will come sooner or later). I can totally understand Sungmin for freaking out and also during his talks to Ryeowook and more often than I probably should also in the way he's thinking. Poor boy...

Chapter 6: Right now I wish I could enter your story just to hit Sunny and Sungmin's mother and then step back put into my real life again! Seriously, how can those two be that ignorant? And most of all, why are there really people like that in this world? How ignorant can people be? I can totally understand why Sungmin's depression hit him hard again after that meeting, but I nevertheless feel very sorry for him! Then again, I'm really happy at the same time because of how well Wookie is taking care of him! He's doing such a good job at helping Sungmin! And I'm glad he knows that skinship is actually good for you *^*

Chapter 4: I'm happy to see Sungmin is starting to get along with most everyone around the ward. And I know she's just a side character, but I love Hyuna!!!
The late night talk between Sungmin and Ryeowook is really sweet! I'm so happy that Wookie offered his help in return for Min's help and that now Sungmin also wants to help. I think I would've been just as shocked as Min was if I had seen Wookie eat normally all of a sudden! But this chapter is really sweet, I like it a lot! I can't wait to read more of their progress!

Chapter 2: Hey :) So, after I subscribed to this story ages ago, I finally got around to start reading it! :D So far I really like it a lot. I like that you keep what you promised (too many people take these kinds of problems too easily and like they can be solved in an instant), so that you chose the disease and let your characters stick to them. I'm happy for Sungmin that he feels comfortable with the people around him and I really like the mix of people you put into the ward, it makes things more interesting than stocking to one group only, I think :)
But I have to admit that you nearly got me crying when all of your characters were introduced... that 2NE1 disbanded after one of the members left... that Hyuna wasn't accepted and is now more or less on her own... especially the 2NE1 case really got to me! On the other hand, it's great to see how all of them seem to get along and I can't wait to read more interactions between Ryeowook and Sungmin! And Heechul, of course! :D

I'll comment again whenever I get the chance to read more :)

Chapter 15: well don't mind me drowning in my tears over here ;m;

you know, i originally started reading this for that advertisement thing but damn i was pulled into this black hole of pit and despair by the first chapters. i loved how you described everything, it evoked a lot of emotions and well, tears of course T-T

something i observed through the story is that i think sungmin got slowly more aggressive(?) as the story continued(???) i dont want to interrupt anything wrong, its just what ryeowook said about him changing made me think more. i truly enjoyed sungmin and ryeowook's friendship in this story, it was very um.. deep?? i dont know how to put it not awkwardly ^^" [i did ship minwook hardcore tho but thats ok because theyre friendship was amazing]

overall i loved the direction the story went in (although ill just silently poke at the mushrooms in the corner with all the possible minwook that could've happened). for something to help you write next time, a critical comment from me would be.. hmm.. i have no idea i cant do this ;A; i loved everything too much, the pace of the story, the characters and their developments and ahHhHhHh

im going to be checking your other stories now >:3

Chapter 15: Seperate comment for all the other emotions: thank you for telling me to read this specific fanfic. It has affected me in ways I would've never thought and I cried, laughed, got angry, fangirled and just generally had the time of my life reading this. I'm pretty sure this isn't the last one of your works that I'll be checking out, so you know, keep a lookout for me in your notifications ;)
