Foreword

COMFORT IN THE NEW
A STORY BY PUPPYHAE



 

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times,
if one only remembers to turn on the light.”


— Dumbledore, "Prisoner of Azkaban"

 

"H-Hyukjae!" he says. 

"Are you okay?" Hyukjae asks, frowning at him. Donghae bites his trembling lip, horrified when another tear falls. He wipes it away.

"I'm fine," he says. Then, because even though he's upset at his failure, he's determined to make friends with his roommates, he continues: "I made lunch for you guys, do you want to eat it with me?"

Hyukjae frowns and Donghae feels like all of his hopes have been dashed. He steels himself to be rejected again.

"You made lunch… for all of us?" Hyukjae says. Donghae shrugs.

"I was planning to leave it in the fridge with a label," he says. "But since you and Kyuhyun are home…" He trails off, shrugging again. 

Hyukjae nods, still frowning. Donghae bites his lip, looking down at the ground.

"I–uh–I have an hour before class so I can have lunch with you," he says. Donghae's head snaps up, eyes wide. 

"Really?" he says. Hyukjae nods.

"Yeah, of course," he says and Donghae beams, ecstatic. 

"Okay!" he says. "I'll get it for you."

He heads off in the direction of the kitchen, stopping when he realizes Hyukjae isn't following him. He turns to see Hyukjae still standing in front of Kyuhyun's door, smiling slightly in his direction. 

Donghae tilts his head–had Hyukjae changed his mind?

"Hyukjae? Are you coming?"

"Yeah, I'm coming, Donghae," Hyukjae says. He walks over, putting a hand on his shoulder as they head to the kitchen.

Chapter 1: it seems that everyone who starts talking to donghae has hyukjae's role behind him, maybe hyukjae talks to others to be kinder to donghae.

Chapter 1: I started uni at a young age and in a new city too. But unlike Hae, I didn't make many friends because I didn't want to (I was an inmature hermit xD). I didn't feel much loneliness but I hadn't people to help or support me either. So bad decision xD
That's why I'm glad little Hae is achieving his dream to have friends, and of course it was thanks to his initiative but thanks to his beautiful personality too. Who doesn't want to dote on him? n_n And Hyuk it so cute and obvious on his crush, other person would have notice it immediately, he's lucky Hae's oblivious to that xD
Thank you for writing this mega chapter, the effort you did it's noticeable :)

Chapter 1: Cute and sweet to see him earnestly befriending everyone and them all doting on Ddohae, exactly how they should. ♡

Chapter 1: I have been waiting for this since I saw it on twitter and it was definitely worth the wait!! I love how Donghae seems to have tightened the bond between the 5 other guys although they were already acquaintances before he joined the group. Each interactions with his roommates are so so precious and I love that it is loosely based on their personalities and relationship in real life.

As an eunhae fan, I love that hyukjae is not the snobby/mysterious guy he usually is in fanfics. He’s just this normal boy in college, but the way he approaches donghae makes my heart flutter. Loved how he gets distracted by donghae lmao that is so cute. And I may have screamed when he said “Sit next to me?” when all of them were together because it’s subtle but his interest with Donghae is already flourishing.

Hoping for more chapters because this is so fun to read that I didn’t even realize it’s over 21k words… also because Donghae deserves all the love from the boys 💙 thank you for sharing this with us 🙇🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much for writing and feeding us these fluff!!!

Chapter 1: I love this chapter 💛 It's easy to see why everyone wants to pamper Hae and I'm glad he has them. I can't wait to see him blossom into a social butterfly. And I hope he gets to keep the kitten 😸

Chapter 1: Hi, my dear sweet lovely friend. Last night I was so tired I fell asleep while I was reading, but I can assure you that I was so happy reading. I finished reading now and it was such a good chapter. I melted in so many parts uwu. Hae being so insecure, awkward and kinda scared too was so endearing because he was also immensely cute as everyone realized. The way in which you portray things it's so smooth and enjoyable, how sweet baby Hae is, his desire of being friends with all of them, how caring he was with sunny... Awww <3 You just can't ignore this lovely smol little cutie. I loved every scene with the boys, how Siwi helped him in the gym, how Teuk guided him on his first day on the campus, how Hee was totally smitten and how he decided to adopt him *o*, how Kyu apologized and treated him some food and of course Hyukkie that was his big fan from the first moment the one that definitely told off Kyu ahahaha and how he always wants to be so close to baby Hae and how he just stares at this adorable boy, It's just so crystal clear to me that when he asks Hae to study together it's mostly to watch him and the oblivious baby never realizes even when Hyuk pinpoints obvious details.
Thank you, Veni for making me smile, scream, laugh, and just die of love and cuteness. I'm so happy and proud of you because you made it, you worked so hard and created this beautiful chapter for us :D And I know that I'm lucky because I had some snippets.
Have an amazing day!! Love ya, my talented friend.
