Chapter 2: Yay an update! I saw the update earlier in the morning but was swarmed with school work (and Infinite, mainly DongSoo being the shameless, confident gays they are as they swarmed Woohyun with smooches) so I only just got time to read it properly now. This chapter's great for setting up the foundation as it introduces the concept of polyamory to each character involved in a different sort of manner, and gives the reader a bit of an intro too. Moving onto specific parts, that part where Myungsoo thinks "who would take care of Myungsoo's happiness?" broke my heart a bit. I think out of all the characters he's really in a pitiful position, he not only has his heart broken but is being asked by his ex to date again but with a 1 plus attached.

Hoya didn't come across the best for me in this chapter. I would say if Woohyun wasn't there to smooth things over when he did it could have been a disaster. I don't know how to describe it, but he did come off slightly like he was only thinking of himself in the situation. I mean no way is he forcing either of them (Woohyun suggests the idea first, and he's giving Myungsoo a choice) but it came across kind of nonchalant. I don't know, out of the three of them I have the most difficulty understanding Hoya's character. Mainly because again I don't think we've really seen him experience the turmoil of emotions from breaking up with myungsoo->to dating woohyun->to still having feelings for myungsoo, so we as a reader still feel really disconnected to him. While for Myungsoo and Woohyun its easier to sympathize with.

My favorite part of this update was actually Woohyun's talk with Sunggyu. We get a better insight into Woohyun's character and his life and also we get to see that Woohyun may have brought up the polyamory suggestion knowing full well the consequences. It also allows the reader to better sympathize with Woohyun too because we get a better idea that he's also putting his happy relationship on the line to allow Hoya to also date Myungsoo.

I'm really excited to read more. I hope the recent slew of Infinite activities sparks inspiration for a quicker update lol.

Chapter 1: I was initially a bit confused when the story jumped from Myungsoo and Hoya meeting to post HooSoo breakup, and the meeting with WooYa but I caught on by the end of the chapter. I think I was just a bit taken back because the story escalated so quickly in just one chapter but I'm hoping you fill in the important gaps (why HooSoo broke up, and why WooYa got together and why Hoya still wants to maintain a relationship with Myungsoo) as the story goes on. I think it will be an interesting read, especially the relationship between Woohyun and Myungsoo because even though we can see they both care about Hoya, it's still a lot that he's asking for both of them, and that in itself will be an emotional rollercoaster to get through. Also, I'm interested in how you develop Hoya's growth. I wouldn't say he's necessarily conservative, but I feel like it would be a lot harder for him to come to terms with having feelings for more than one person than it would be for someone like Myungsoo or even Woohyun.

Lol sorry, I just rambled on for no reason. OT3 fics are so rare but probably my favorite to read because I love all the angst, so I'm really excited to read more.
