Chapter 6: I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I hope you'd write more MC fics soon. Although a bit angsty, your works are the best here! Daebak!

Chapter 6: like always..great story, authornim... :)
I miss Gil too and LeeSsang comeback...

Chapter 6: simple but sweet :)

Chapter 6: I see you've finally taken a break from Farm Heroes, IC and 3 Day 2 Nights(Or whatever it was called. You know I don't have a good memory.) And came outta retirement to write this. So how could I not drop by and give you my thoughts? :)

I like this story. Kinda show the evolution of Gil's and Gary's brotherhood and how it should be. No jealousy between brothers, each understanding that fame and fortune is a very fickle thing. Like how Gil at first was popular in the variety circle and now it's Gary turn to shine.

I like that Gary's heart is in Leessang. I've always found the man, contrary to his image on RM to be very serious when it comes to his music. And I like his passion for it. It is always nice to see someone who is passionate about his/her craft talk about it.

On another hand, I understand what inspired you and to a great extent, I agree with you. He should just be given a punishment for his wrongdoings and not this... This ambiguous hiatus thing. Oh Korea and your quirks... Gawd I love you.

This story brings a sense of nostalgia to me. Having Gary think about his bro. It got me missing my own brotherhood. Not that the sisterhood of you and jcat aren't worthy company on Fridays. Hehe. I just miss talking about girls to the guys and just having them understand what I'm talking about when it comes to women!!! :(

Alas, those days may never come back. Still thanks for this lovely update. It was very nice in a bro way!

Hi AK, I haven't a clue about Running Man or any Korean Drama. Just the fact that your stories captivated my interest proves how great a writer you are :) I hope you keep writing. Haven't read much updates from you lately...but I haven't been here much either. Thanks again for sharing your work, always a pleasure :)

its one-shot? but why is this story related to each other? hahaha i feel like that when i read from chap 1 - 5.

Chapter 5: Good but sad.

Chapter 5: This wasn't as badly written as you say it is! It's really good. I love the complexities in the story. A break up isn't just on the part of one party. It takes both parties. In this, Gary was not as open as a person should be in a relationship. If he has problems in his business, he should have shared it with Ji Hyo and together they could work on it. At least, knowing his problems, she may be better able to help and sympathize.

Ji Hyo too had her faults in it. Knowing that Dong Wook was after her favor, she could have done more to turn away his advances. However, I guess it must also be hard on her to not have her partner around on her special days. Days where by she may want some pampering. Perhaps there is a more materialistic side to the Ji Hyo in your story, since she seems to enjoy the pampering that DW gave her. As such, it only makes sense that she would take it personally(sorta) that Gary isn't with her on her birthday.

But perhaps Gary did the right thing. Giving her up. If he isn't willing to fight for her and takes the coward approach in breaking up. Well this rs was never meant to last.

:) Ok, since I have done something productive for the day by giving you a review, I shall get down my bimbo useless moments by going out for lunch and heading to the city! Last Sunday in Sydney! Woooooo!!

Chapter 5: Wow, AK! This story was absolutely incredible! It's really impressive how you were able to capture the complications of each character in so short a time! I could understand each of their motivations and struggles and sympathized with all three, even Dong Wook because you could get the sense that he really liked SJH and was a good enough man to be patient for at least this past year, between her last birthday and now. (In a strange coincidence, I just wrote a one-shot that showed SJH with Dong Wook, too! He has a tiny part in Part 1 of my Spartace spy story).

I think what I like most about this story is how despite getting a great sense of the three main characters, Dong Wook and SJH are kind of ethereally layered into the background while Gary kind of shines through. And man, you really broke my heart with his true story about the business... why do men never open up about these things?!?! Aah, it kills me just knowing that if he would just open up to SJH and tell her everything, that she would understand. Well, actually, now I'm wondering if she would understand or not. She did seem to appreciate the shopping trip and being taken out for a nice expensive dinner so maybe she does have a materialistic nature... but then again she also seemed to enjoy Gary's small gift. Aaah! Such good writing.Really enjoyed this ^_^
