Chapter 3: Everything is so subtle and hinted, if there's no A/N i am pretty sure i won't know about it. Are you a doctor or someone in medical field? Because if you're not, your research for this fic extremely well done. About the angst tho, I am still trying to sink it down. Because at one moment the fluffs started to go down so fast. Your writing is so smooth tho :) and gosh, how i love sesoo, thank you for chimming in some Sesoo ♡♡♡

Chapter 2: i read perks of being a unicorn before and i DIDN'T KNOW YOU'RE THE SAME AUTHOR holy , the difference in the two styles
but umm yeah... this was amazing. everything was so well thought out, and the characterization was great. i'm so envious of people who can develop their characters and their plot and all that so well in a oneshot >_<
and now i'm just going to cry forever over this byee

Chapter 2: i absolutely loved this oneshot and i usually never read angst ( because weak imnida ). the characterization of your characters, especially sehun, was lovely in how you hinted at subtle things of their past/persona through out. i think even without your a/n analyzing the whole story i picked up on each of the points you described, so i think even though you were discreet with some details you could definitely pick them up and be able to read with total understanding. also, i'm a er for war!au, bless. :' ) this was wonderful!

Chapter 1: WHAT KIND OF MAGIC ARE YOU USING ON ME ? YOU MAKE MINSEOK DIE, YIXING HASLOST THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE AND YET I STILL LOVE YOU ?! TT.TT
Why did I read that..? I know I can't handle angst but yet here I am ;-;
Anyway it's just beautiful and I mean it because I usually don't read war!au like never. I don't really everything war related but this is... "wow, amazing !" (I had to use it x) )
