Chapter 1: Loved this . I can only imagine the stress those precious boys must endure, both physical and mental. I'm glad someone put into words the loyalty and affection I imagine they have for each other
Chapter 1: (Ran into this on AO3 first, but I don't have an account there, so I was really hoping you'd post this here! :D)
The feels! You've just killed me. The feels here are killing me, and it is sooooo something that I can see happening that it hurts. I can empathize so deeply with each of the boys; you've done a great job with setting this scenario. It feels realistic, and it is heartbreakingly beautiful.
I absolutely love how you have Jinki as the silent confidante, the one that is waiting for everything to come out and the one who ultimately pieces the group back together at the end. I have always seen him as this type of leader, and you portrayed that beautifully.
Key is the perfect umma here; I love the final section with Key listing off everything that he hopes Taemin will let him do. I can sooo see that being how Key reacts; him trying to find someway, somehow to take care of this wonderful young man whom he loves sooo much.
Jonghyun is splendid as well; you did a great job showing the conflict in him, especially between when he initially finds Taemin with Jinki and Key and then when he needs the comfort himself from Minho. I love the way he and Minho interact the next morning.
Which brings me to Minho, the resident interrogator; I adore the way that you had Minho handle the situation, and the moment where you described him and Jinki essentially holding Taemin together absolutely broke my heart and warmed it at the same time. Beautifully done!
You've done such a great job with this; half of me wonders now what you could do if it were Jinki falling apart (because I, for some reason, enjoy tormenting my poor bias. I love him dearly, really, but there's something about hurt/comfort that just gets to me. XD). You did such a great job with this, and I am in awe of your writing style. Thank you so much for writing this! :D
