I apologize for the long wait! Life decided to grab me by my pants and pull me down when I was about to start reviewing, so it took me a pretty long time. I hope to god that this review helps you in any way <3

Title (10/10)
I really liked the meaning behind it. It's unique, and has to do a lot with the story. It's also very catchy, which is really good when it comes to story titles.

Foreword (14/15)
I really like how you made the prologue into a description. It kind of gives a basis of the story while still putting you into the mod. And you are like one of the few people I've seen use the foreword for it's actual use xD. Most people use it to like put an excerpt or a prologue, But, it's meant for like side notes or author notes and stuff like that, and you actuallyuy used it for stuff like that, so yay!

Characters (18/20)
I really liked the characters. I was able to understand Luhan's feelings for Minseok. I got to feel his pain. During Part 1 in Minseok's funeral, I- someone who never even has a tear drop fall down their face when reading sad literature- couldn't help but have my eyes swell.

 You definitely described Minseok's character well, and I got to understand how he thought and spoke even if he wasn't alive. He in fact was my favorite character. There was something about how he lived life like he was dying literally lol really makes him a character you'd love to read about. 

 I did get confused at some points about Sehun's relations. I didn't quite know if he was Minseok or Luhan's cousin until you said it in Part 2. Maybe try to mention it directly but smoothly who his cousin is. I really liked how we got to get to know Sehun, though. It's what makes this story such a diverse read. I love how we got to learn about how Sehun felt for Minseok.

Narrative Elements (30/30)
Your writing is beautiful. I got to feel what they characters felt. I understood them when they were sad, happy, angry, whatever.

I'm usually not that big of a fan of constant flashbacks, but the way you played them out really showed how needed they were, Usually when people post flashbacks, it has almost nothing to do with the story or would just pop out at the most random time. But, you slid them into the story at their needed time and  they actually help build up the story.

 I also would like to randomly add that how you did that Prologue-Before-After-Epilogue thing. It's really unique and a cool idea. I got a bit confused to why it was like this, (I was like wait epilogues are supposed to be used to conclude the story, btw this was used like when I first opened the page- I didn't even look at the description yet xD.) But I realized how it was split into two parts and such, and I find it really clever.

Plot and Theme (30/35)

Even though I really enjoyed it a lot, it is a bit of a cliched theme. Usually angst stories follow a couple with one either being diagnosed with cancer or getting killed by something and follow either the other member of the relationship as they have to cope with it or follow the two as they struggle with the fact one was going to die (you actually did both lol)

 But, since I'm a total er for your story, I decided to add five points (the score was supposed to be 25/35) because it was so amazing, and captured the emotions so well. Lol yup despite my sassiness, I have a soft heart for beautiful and sad stories.

Entertainment Factors (10/10)
I enjoyed the hell out of this emotional roller coaster ride. My heart broke at moments and I was happy during others. You really captured this story well. It deserves way more subs than it currently has

Overall Score (102/120) *This story has been added to the Hall of Fame*

REVIEWER'S NOTE:

I usually put notes about grammar and spelling errors (even though it's supposed go in the Narrative Elements section lol), but I saw none. But, just in case my blind self didn't see some, I still reccommend proof reading!
