Chapter 18: This was crazy and the story development and the flashbacks every chapter made me at the edge this was amazing

Chapter 18: This is crazy good (thank you to Sugar for rec-ing ❤) like, I'm coming out of this absolutely speechless. If I sat and wrote out all the good aspects of this Id be here forever. Everything was so perfectly balanced, and for a story based in a fictional world (depending on one's beliefs) where ghosts exist its suprising realistic. Not just the explanations of how it works or the rise of an institution that deals with it but I mean all the emotions and little interations within the universe. Its so raw. The absolute confusion that lurks in everyone's perpective like this story's own ghost is so justified for the narrative, as well as wielded so gracefully by you. The use of small scenes and interactions that mean so much more are just exquisite and the pov swaps are godlike (Yuras was especially unexpected and incredibly needed, but ive got to say the smooth introduction of Jongin was just... I can't even explain how masterful).
I once heard that the difference between mere stories and actual literature is whether or not you took something away from it. Whether you learnt something from it or not. And by god let me tell you ill be carrying my learnings from this around with me like it's name was Baekhyun.
I know it's always polite to tell an author thank you after you read their work, and I always mean it when I say it, but I'm honestly so so so grateful that you wrote and shared this. To the nth degree. This piece of literacture is great for so many reasons and I'm glad it will live on in public display for a long time to come ?

Chapter 18: Aaaaand it's over!
Reaching the end of this made me feel like finishing a good book - all content and suddenly somewhat empty *haha*
(though I used the feeling to annoy all my friends about this *lol*)

First of all - I know you think you're always being soft on your characters, but while reading this fic, I was aaaalways half-expecting it to end terribly. That Minseok would reverse into his own bubble or do 'what needs to be done', or that Chanyeol messes up for good, or that Baekhyun gets himself killed simply because he's annoying (okay no, the last one was a joke. too soon, right? Sorry, Baek)
So this unexpectedly wholesome ending was an absolute treat ♥

Alright, I know I already mentioned the houses but yeah, part of me was definitely offended when he was like, looking down on lower class AND even nice apartment building folks. I was like "You snooty brat, you're lucky Minseok is so into you" *lol*
I'm not exactly mad though, cause well, he's trying. Somewhat. He'll have to get used to it *shrug*

I don't think I mentioned that but I felt for Jongdae and Junmyeon. I was in a similar situation at work before, when basically all the supporting pillars quit at once. I still have hopes for Jongdae though. He seems like he's not too deep into all of this yet and still has potential to get out of this entire... job. I mean. It IS just a job.... that doesn't make a secret of ruining your life sooner or later. Possibly sooner.

I think this ending also kinda highlighted Minseok's role in this story, which sounds weird, probably. He was simply such a dulled down, broken character who was secretly terrified of anyone invading his space - but looking back now, he /was/ the one who set everything in motion, and who took small steps, sometimes backwards, but mostly forwards. Even if a probably large part of him screamed to just stay away, stay home and just quietly die alone *lol*
He was actually the active part of the two most of the time, even if it totally didn't look like it, so seeing their relationship actually go somewhere feels super rewarding for both of them.

The fork scene made me laugh and go "Noooo, don't say thaaaat" at my screen *haha*
Baek is absolutely ruthless! But also his and Minseok's chemistry is terribly fun and interesting for a myriad of reasons.
(also my sister once stabbed a fork into my brother's back as well. She called it education and brought him a band aid afterwards. Luckily, there was hardly any blood and definitely no scar)

I'll stop rambling now. I'm surprised you're not sick of me yet, but I'll say it again: Thanks for sharing this story! Reading it had me on my toes and had me fall in love with Minseok (who has been starring in all my longfics ever since). I am in love with your writing style and no matter who stars in your next stories, I wish you the absolute best of luck! ♡♡♡

Chapter 17: Luhannn.... is a sweetie. Like, he never appeared much and the disconnect between them is palpable but at the same time, he feels like an actual friend. Like somehow, there is something left for them to restore and build upon again if they both put in the work - but also like they could stay like this, in this loose and kinda comfortable, half-involved friendship *lol*
(am I even making sense)

Either way, I was with Minseok the entire time - the fact that they had the audacity to ask for the reports the way they did... byeeee. Just bye *lol*
I feel like them asking for a report by Chanyeol in particular gave Minseok a bitter taste about how miserable his future would turn out, too.
Oh, I also love the fact that Minseok is severely under-educated. It seems obvious but I feel not many authors would have bothered with this (especially considering that real life Minseok seems to be on top of things)
(like, if it was Kyungsoo... I'm joking. I love you, Soo.)
Either way, Minseok is THE quiet force. He could claw himself into just about any job if he wanted to. I have zero doubts *haha*

On a side note, I wonder what Baek whispered to him. Must have been something annoying.
I still wanna believe that Minseok knew what he was doing and wasn't ACTUALLY killing him... probably. Still. Minseok! *gasp*
You don't threaten people with the existential horror of the void because they once overate in your body and made you puke! Social etiquette 101, man.
Jokes aside, who would have thought that it's the ghost pretty much saving BOTH of them. Baekhyun will be the next one receiving recruitment letters from the office.


P.S.:
"Minseok probably never carried enough things to beat risk of leaving something behind"
-don't think you can sneak something this great past me! ;;
I'm being dramatic but jokes aside, that little detail really stood out to me and I loved it ♥

Chapter 16: Iiii vanished off the face of the earth, but I'm back!
I know I'm like... MONTHS late, but my life got really, really hectic, and I just cherished this fic too much to read it on, say, a bus. So I saved it and then time passed and work and writing and mostly work absolutely wore me down... Buuut Im back!

And because this story is THAT exciting, I wasn't able to put it down, read it all, and now I need to take a deep breath and remember my thoughts on this chapter. Gotta hold back.

This chapter was really, really well-placed, I think. I wanna say 'needed', but it wasn't needed at all. Like, you could have focused on xiuyeol and brush Baek aside, make people root for the ship and call it a day - but this feels much better and more befitting, cause Baekhyun IS super important in this story, and we didn't get many insights on him.
And man, this chapter definitely made him super likeable in my eyes. I never /disliked/ him, but there was just not much to think about him cause Chanyeol didn't think much about him either, so I ended up being somewhat indifferent. But this chapter was really satisfying ;;
It really drove home how sad Baekhyun's existence is, and how he's somewhat aware of that - especially the fact that he "stopped living" and developing and that there IS a divide between him and Chanyeol now. That his jokes are insensitive and out of place, and that /he/ feels out of place, but like he can't leave either.
Though honestly, personally I think he's thought himself into a hole, and that he's pretty close to what he would be like if he was still alive. There's missing something, sure, but overall... he's done amazingly.
I hope one of the two ever tells him that *lol*

Favourite line of this chapter is easily "Cause , I don't like him, but he's pathetic. His whole life is pathetic."

I loved this so much.
♡♡♡

Chapter 18: This story is brilliant. The universe you've created and the Office and everything is so creative and engaging, I really loved it! Baekhyun's story with his suicide is sad, but it felt very realistic. The way Chanyeol deals with it - uf, so good! And I really really /really/ loved Yura's perspective because it was so removed from the whole ghost-business and portrayed the outside worry of a sister, whose brother once attempted suicide and now is withdrawing again. That was such a wonderful touch to an otherwise story balancing on fantasy territory.
Luhan's story was also well-portrayed, the worry and the knowledge he had of Minseok. Combine that with the story-line of Yixing who doesn't want to be average.

Ugh, everything about this whole story is just so amazingly good! I love you for writing it, it's creative, well-written, perfectly balanced and the story told is just perfect. Thank you! <3

Chapter 18: Baekhyun is not going anywhere....?? And he's still with Chanyeol .....

Hmmmmmm....



It's finish already...??

Because I want more.....

Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu......!!!!!



But I'm glad Minseok and Chanyeol is not avoiding each others....and did Minseok know all the dirty little secrets of Chanyeol's when Baekhyun possessed him ..???


Whoa...!

Chapter 17: Is Minseok have no will to live and decided to go back to his 'old house' to end is life...




And Chanyeol....even though Baekhyun is a bit annoying but I'm so thankful that he's successfully convince Chanyeol to find Minseok ..



*sigh*


Most stories about ghost.... who's still on Earth because they're have unfinished business or grounded to something or a place.... That's the basic about why ghost still appears on Earth... Evil ghost who possessed mostly because they're don't want to die and probably death taking them abruptly...and they're not want to leave Earth like. .forever... ... That's what I know...

Man.... This is far too elaborate and complicated to digest....but I'm trying to understand....


I feel bad for Minseok...his past is really heartbreaking. .. and I hope he will not continue his mission to go...

(╥﹏╥)

Chapter 13: What.....?? They're already watched over Chanyeol for a decade....????



As a test subject not as the summoner ...??



Why ..??? Is Chanyeol's case is so different than the other case...?

Chapter 11: Who's the trainee....?? Jongin an exorcist...??


Umm.....

He can see ghost too....???
