Chapter 1: I read this when you first posted it and forgot to comment, so I'm back. As always I'm blown away at how well written this is. Even though Hongbin's past relationship isn't explored indepth we can see how much it affected him and hiw meeting this new person ia giving him something new to focus on and devote his time to. Plus I'm a er for deeper meaning such as with the flowers and cards. Wonderful fic!

Chapter 1: I don't comment enough on your writing, half because I feel I can't put into words how much I enjoyed this. This was just, such a sweet and poignant piece and I loved every moment of it. Hongbin's characterization--particularly through his own eyes--is so fitting, from his impatience with his own emotions to his sarcasm peppered with self-deprecation. And the slow sad cheesy cute relationship with Wonsik is one of my favorites you've written (and given you're my favorite Rabin author that's saying a lot). Thank you so much for sticking with this unpopular ship to give us such good stories <3

Chapter 1: (continued)
Honestly the song was such a nice, clever touch, it was there where I started to tear up and then some parts made me try very hard not to literally cry soundly since my brother was next to me. I love when fic is related to music even if just for ambience, and the choice, perfect, though I don't know the artist.

I think you are truly versatile, but your slow burn and falling-in-love stories get me, emotionally speaking; please make me cry more!!! haha.

I'm really thankful that despite the lack of feedback you're still writing such beautiful stuff. Thank you.

Chapter 1: I needed like a good half an hour to compose myself, around an hour to piece myself back together after crying so much, and a reread to try to gain my poor coherence back.
Anyway.

I'm going to be honest, usually my reaction to first person fic is 'ugh' since they're really difficult to pull off I think? I feel like it's very 'make it or break it' when it comes to reading a story, and boy do I love to be proved wrong, I think you did a a really good job in this one. I mean, I only know two people who can do this and not make me want to close the tab, and I used to know only one hehe, figure why.

Your Bean voice is so great, too? I think you perfectly captured his awkwardness, dry and witty sense of humor, skeptical and relalistic nature, his determination to see things until the end. I know these are just concepts we get from people and I'm not sure whether this is from our conversations or just that our own ideas are the same but I'm in love with your characterisation, he shone.
Not that your Wonsikkie isn't any less good though!. Tell me that he calls him up to participate just to know his name too, smooth.
Is there anyone you can't write??

The initial heartbreak in the story is the cherry on top, in my opinion. Maybe it's my own projection but as soon as the hint of him getting over a break-up came up the fic started to take shape even more, as it became terribly relatable. His desperate need to escape his thoughts and his pain, the longing that becomes a new start, and the curiosity and fascination when someone else comes along. I wonder if Bean was aware it was like love at first sight, or at least to me it seemed that way, that part with the white rose (where I promptly started to lose it, though I started tearing up as soon as the first lines of the song started to play) felt like a spark.

(lol to be continued because AS PER USUAL I RAN OUT OF SPACE)
