Description

Byun Baekhyun, identification number zero six zero five one two zero seven eight three, fifty-one percent yellow, twenty-eight percent magenta, thirteen percent indigo, eight percent turquoise.

Oh my gosh..... This is.... I dk what to say about this fic
First of all this universe is kinda terrifying like what sort of sick dystopia is this anyway. Nevertheless i love all the elements of this universe its so well written in this fic and if your intended effect was for me to be thankful that dystopia like this is fiction then youve succeeded HAHHAHAHA jk but not really... I was both scared and angry at the type of government in this fic like wtf
And i love baeks character so much like??? No even tho im written down to be hopeful and happy all the time i dont believe in this system and i want to change it. Really impactful how his thoughts work. I love soos character in this too because there was an aloofness that baek had to work hard to get through and in the end baek truly found out what the loss of happiness means like UGHJMSKAJAJAK
Im so conflicted with the ending (but in a good way pls dont misunderstand) BECAUSE ALL THROUGHOUT THE FIC IVE WANTED TO BE AS HOPEFUL AS BAEK WAS FORCING HIMSELF TO BE BUT THEN IN THE END I DONT KNOW. IF I FEEL HOPEFUL OR HOPELESS. BECAUSE THERE WAS THAT LINE ABOUT THEIR FIRST KISS BEING POSSIBLY THEIR LAST AND I JUST BROKE I HATE YOU (kidding)
Sorry for the word vomit i really liked this fic... Thanks for writing and sharing huhuhuhu

Chapter 1: This is different from the others I've read. In a good way, of course. This story is amazing.

Chapter 1: That was a really good story! I enjoyed both Baek's and Kyungsoo's character a lot and it was nice seeing them open up towards each other. The way you established the government was really creative and I love the idea with the colours! Thank you very much for writing this wonderful fic :)
