Foreword

Author's Note: there about seven things i could say, but after reading john green's looking for alaska, i seriously wanted to sit down and write in a way that would be like john green because of his same old characters, but then as i continued to think about it, it just didn't work out.

so instead, i ended up falling in love with ice skating because hanyu yuzuru, ugh, so there's that and the fact that everyone portrays kai as this cool "nappu namja" when really he looks like a quiet kid who doesn't do bad to anyone and sehun reminds me of the sassy best friend that is in EVERY john green book.

but really, this one shot is for the last round of  the sky is the limit and somehow if i tried hard enough, i managed to get in the last round (2&4 respectively), but this one is for rina and i think i spoke to her once. i wish to change that after this contest ends because i'd really like to be friends with all the judges because they seem so kind and lovely. 

Also, thank you for this contest, I remember back when it started and I never finished that Chen fic, or how I managed to get to the top ten in the second round, skipped out on the third round and came back for the fourth round. But, seriously, you guys have no idea what this contest has done for me. Because of this contest, I managed to become friends with the one and only kisoap who has won a place in the hall of fame twice, pumped my self-esteem multiple times and i am surprised every time i managed to get so far. so really, thank you for this contest, it has shaped my self-esteem when it came to writing, and i could never thank you enough. so, thank you, truly. 

on a side note, i am sorry for everyone who is reading this and is quite disappointed that there's no romance.

Chapter 1: This is a painful read I'd say. But of course in a real good way. I love the way that everything is segmented but they're not rushed yet still fast paced which make it an interesting piece of reading. I love the vague social commentaries without you have to shove those ideas onto your reader's face, you let your characters do their job (and they did it very well). I'm at loss of words actually tho I really want to say many things about your story since your execution is pretty neat. Anyway, I hope you'll have the goddess of luck with you. Best wishes for the contest! /going to read your other stories/

Chapter 1: I so loved this :') To tell the truth, I was confused most of the time, precisely of Krystal and Jongin's characters, by the friendship that Kai and Chanyeol have (even though I love their little fight scenes) :D And what's up with the relationship between Minho and Krystal?

Chapter 1: i really, really, /really/ liked this. when i first started reading it i didn't think that i would (the little thing with soojung grabbing jongin and calling herself the resident was offputting :x) but somehow i kept reading till the end, & i'm really glad i did.

i feel both sad & happy. but i think above all i'm really happy that sehun stumbled in on jongin & was able to do for him what he couldn't do for his sister.
