Chapter 1: What can anyone say about this story except that it's just amazing.
You really did a good job with it. Thank you. It's really beautiful.

Wow, this is beautiful. You managed to capture the difficulty that minseok had to go through. It is easy to assume that since he had been living in the palace from when he was little he would be accustomed to life in the palace but sometimes people forget that royals are human with feeling and want to be appreciated and loved by people who knows them through all thir defense. Nice job author nim.

Chapter 1: This was beautiful. I loved it. At the end I loved it that they were starting over with their marriage. I hated the paparazzi sooo hard. Thanks for this story. It's sooo rare to read a great Xiuho fic.

Chapter 1: All the Goong feels rushing back because of your work. I really like the Xiuhan in this. Complete bro package. I was kind of looking forward to the part where the princess in the original story gets sick because it's one of my fave parts with the whole bridal carry and all but it doesn't happen here. But don't worry! The story is good and the way Minseok develops feelings for Junmyeon is well told.

There's this one part that bothers me, though. During the classical event the couple attends, what's the story behind the phone call between the brothers in the bathroom? TT Please enlighten me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!

Chapter 1: Awww man.

Joonmyun's grandfather isn't getting better. I'm sad but I'm like trembling because they were being close with each other ^~^

What. Why.

Ugh. I can't believe Minseok's father wouldn't let them visited Joonmyun's grandfather T.T come on, have a heart D:

I wouldn't blame Minseok. It was really unexpected afterall. But okay. The divorce was more unexpected. Okay.

Man. Oh. Man.

Just when things weren't going to get worst. It already did. The queen had found out. Luhan got involved. This is just crazy. My mind just can't comprehend all of this.

Now that's just nice. Confessing in the bathroom huh. Hehe.

Luhan is again involved. Lol, I swear he comes at the times that he shouldn't be entering xD

Two years is pretty long but I'm happy they finally got to be together and both of them are willing to start all over :))

This is now becoming a favorite. I'll definitely upvote and bookmark it so I can read it again when I have the chance ^^ not to mention, mind if I have the permission to add this in my recs? Here's the link to it ~

Chapter 1: Hurhur.

I felt my heart breaking because Joonmyun can't see his family as often :c

But yay! He finally gets a chance and yes. Minseok go visited your in laws! cx haha. I love Jongin already xD he's like nope. You guys are married. So you shared a room and I'll keep my room why thank you. .

It's good that he learned to do simple tasks like cleaning the dishes, or cooking an egg. But lol, he deserves the step on his foot and I held in a snort. When has he ever win Joonmyun's heart if he was all cold? Haha.

Yesssssss. I lived for protective! Jongin. And of course, he would noticed the signs of Minseok not taking good care of Junmyeonie >~<

Joonmyun in a apron is just the best vision anyone could ever have their eyes on :D

Squealing. I'm squealing because the hands holding ~ like yes. Minseok for once is being nice, and not all cold. Yaaaaay. But wow, they sneaked out o:

But I'm sad they can't keep the puppy any longer ; ~ ; and oooh. They be trying to get closer in the library but dang it, the phone call got in their way |:

Nooooo. Joonmyun got caught and punished for even attempting an sneak out to celebrated Jongin's birthday. Ugh. Cold! Minseok again. Like noooo. But yaaaaay! They kissed! <3

Chapter 1: Oh my goose.

They slept in the same room? But Minseok is being a meanie about it. Pft. It wasn't Joonmyeon's fault since the elders planned this LOL. And how was he supposed to know they were actually going to do it? x)

Hehe. Jongdae called Joonmyun a princess. (Secretly, I think he is ^^)

Mhm. Agreed with Baekhyun that Junmyeonie is cute (':

Um. Minseok. That's really rude.

Joonmyun didn't want to lose his first kiss yet you were being insensitive about it. Not cool dude.

I literally almost screamed out loud when Minseok told Joonmyun to jump. I'm like ??? What does he mean by that?

I thought it was like something with death? But it was completely the opposite o: but it doesn't mean I still freaked out over it. Because yeah, nice, there was a swimming pool but it's definitely not okay for Joonmyun to jumped over the balcony. Like NO. WAY.

Aww. I'm a bit happy Minseok decided to make it up by giving him a puppy <':

Chapter 1: Wow. Like super wow.

This one shot is just amazing. It's so hard to describe since I'm so speechless right now.

It was a rollercoaster from the beginning to the end ; ~ ;

Like, I was squirming so much that I had to paced myself because omg. Minseok was so cold towards Joonmyun.

My poor baby. He wasn't ready for this marriage but it happened and he had to adjusted himself to the new lifestyle )':

But dang it, Minseok why are you so distance? /:

I wanted to pulled my hair out when he told Joonmyun straight up how he and Luhan used to date. Ugh <\3

It's even more frustrating since he didn't even spare his time with Joonmyun while Luhan was there. I'm actually happy Luhan was trying to make things not so 'tense' but Minseok was being too stubborn about it T.T

I cried when Minseok steps over the boundaries. I mean, who would've expected Joonmyun's grandfather was suffering from cancer? Yet, he had the nerve to say whatever he was starting out and continues to hurt Joonmyun like as if he had never had feelings in the first place /le sighs

Though, I am glad Joonmyun decides to called him out but holy cheese, Minseok is going all out to even add more pain to Joonmyun ;-; but I cheered a little because yeahhhhh. Joonmyun is standing up for himself! But otl. Minseok keeps pushing it.

Lmao. Minseok not knowing how to ride a bike xD but I shouldn't be laughing since I don't know how either in real life loool.

Oh Minseok. How dare you show affection to your ex but not your spouse? Like whyyyyyyyyyyy ; u ;

I feel like I need to extend my comment. So please expect a few parts of this already long a** comment :') /hoping you don't mind ^~^
