Chapter 1: Nice story. It feels incomplete, but it's a oneshot... I can't complain.

I loved your descriptions and storyline. You added a lot of details on what Jongdae looks like, but what about Minseok? Isn't Minseok the main character? I don't know what he looks like. Also where does the story take place? Human resources... so business setting? But trainee... are they singers? Please tell me. Also, who is speaking? There is a lot of dialogue, but no indication of who is speaking. If three or more people were in the room speaking it would be a nightmare to read.

Your paragraphs are short, usually one or two sentences, so please don't indent. I have a hard time reading on my computer because it's indented in, yet there is only one sentence. It drives my eyes crazy when there is a longer 2 sentence or more paragraph and I see the indent. If you're going to indent please write longer paragraphs. Your formatting was bothering the whole time.

Lastly, your ending... It was good, but very confusing. You wrote that they didn't hear each other's confession, but the first thing I thought was Minseok heard her confession! But I had to reread the part again to understand that he didn't hear her. Please try to write the ending more clearly, so the readers are not confused. Also your ending was a little strange. They didn't confess okay, but there was no real closure. I think your tried to make an open-ended ending, but it doesn't feel like one. It just feels incomplete. Maybe another sentence like "I'll confess tomorrow" or something else would be better. The "I'm an idiot," ending would have worked if your title was I'm an idiot, but your title is It's You I like, You Idiot. The ending didn't seem to make sense with the title. I would have ended the conversation with Minseok saying Jondae's last line to make more sense.

Overall, I loved your story. It was nice. The formatting was a little hard to read, but aside from the small details written above, I loved it. I can't wait to read your next story.

Chapter 1: I'm a little confused. >.<' Did Minseok overhear Jongdae in the end? Did she not hang up properly when she whispered and if so, why are the two dialogue-lines different? ;; I'm sorry, I just want to be super clear about it.
I love a little genderbend and I love a female Jongdae so much, she's so absolutely beautiful. <3 Minseok's a clown, lmao, but that's to be expected, he's great uwu Also, can I just comment on Jongdae's outfit, like holy crap, that's style right there, I love it! <3
If there is one thing you should focus on when writing it's time. Try not to mix up past and present while writing because, it's a super simple thing but it makes a huge difference. ^^
Good job on writing this. <3

Chapter 1: Lol @ Minseok referring to other guys as "clown" and "losers" just because he didn't like the idea of Jongdae liking a guy who isn't him. Minseok's panicking on the inside is funny as well.
I enjoyed reading this. Good job :)

Chapter 1: When I was first reading this, I didn't look at the tags, and I was like, "wtf why is Jongdae a she?" That was a nice twist. This was so adorable, Minseok is so clueless, and I felt so bad for Jongdae when they were talking together. Short and sweet, it was a cute read.

Chapter 1: I only read the first few tags, so I was a bit surprised by the female Jongdae.

Anyways, I enjoyed your story.~ However, I definitely noticed that it lacked description. The only place I could really visualize was the elevator scene. As for other parts, it wasn't as vivid. But don't feel too down! The dialogue really made up for it!
