i will send it here instead, because this app is useless when it comes to reblogging stuff 💀 tho i will still try later on since it’s the least i can do to this magnificent work <3
short version — i love uyi from start to end. every single bit of it. longer version — well.. here goes the rambling. so idrk where to start ig…. i love how natural everything is between the two of them. sure there were hidden and unrealized feelings at the start but maybe even without that, the way they’re just so comfortable around each other — the skinship the teasing the double meanings n all that ykno ;-; best friends indeed. it all just comes so naturally between the two of them to the point that the other boys aren’t even bothered or more like it’s not new to them anymore. sure there are teasing (because duh it’s just so obvious except to them HAHA) but again, it’s all natural, it’s what friends usually do. they’re just so sweet and caring w each other 😭 THE LOTION he secretly bought for her. he’s been watching her GODDDD he’s whipped NSHDHDH i love him so much pls and when she found out about the gift, i bet he was intentionally waiting or just rlly expecting she’ll come out and thank him or whatever as soon as she got inside her room JAEMIN PLS they’re soooo cute istg and the way she starts thinking how it’s not something of an obligatory gift now there’s no occasion just a somewhat impulse gift for her. no reason. ITS STARTINGGGGG FOREALZ they may be slow but we’re finally getting there although probably just like before, she or actually both of them kept brushing it off, that it’s nothing (at this point i’ll just bump their heads tgt and like KISS lmao) (1/?)
(2/2) THE ONE AT THE KITCHEN AAAAAAAAAAAAA HE CAN BARELY CONTROL HIMSELF THIS TIME WTF IDK I LIKED THIS SCENE A LITTLE TOO MUCH IG OKAY NOW ONTO THE REAL THANG, HERE WE GO. idk i probably said this a billion times alr but idc because i really really loved it. the way you wrote them the portrayal, it’s all so accurate(?) so natural (sorry for overusing this word idk what else to use at this point lmao there’s more to come of this) relatable! between best friends who’s probably scared af but ready to risk crossing the line between friendship and dating. and because they’re rlly close and comfortable w each other she’s not scared to ask the real stuff that’s been bugging her lately, nervous, afraid, that teeny bit awkward feeling, it’s all there but she doesn’t ignore it this time not anymore. and idk but jaemin probably is already expecting all that because of the hints( i think) he’s been giving out. and when she’s still unsure and confused she just goes with it. test the waters. a bit of hesitation ofc but she still did it 😭 FINALLY. the way the kiss just goes oh so naturally like it isn’t the first time at all. like they’ve been doing this for a long time alr. see this is what ive been saying 😭😭😭😭 they’re that comfortable and plz they’ve been pining(?) over each other for who knows how long. jaemin even is so calm about all this. and then comes the sex ;; the making love — it’s so so soft and sweet and not in a rush or anything, like they’re still testing the waters. i love everything about this. the transitioning from being friends to lovers. it’s just so perfect i love it i looooove it. and the morning after when she’s in a bit of freaking out. pretty understandable and again, relatable! it’s normal i think, for me at least. they haven’t really talked about it yet so yea she doesn’t exactly know what’s going to happen now like where they stand.. and when jaemin just remained calm and normal (probably a bit surprised and confused too) about it. probably deciding to go with the boys instead of asking her right away to talk to give her some more time to sort out her thoughts. he knows her that well after all, maybe even more than she knows herself ;; aaaaaa even when they finally discussed it, he remains composed (nervousness hidden pretty well methinks) they handled it pretty well, and normal — i see that’s how much they trust and know each other. despite how scary this new relationship is, they just know they’ll always have each other :(( and YES the thing about letting the group know, i just think it’s perfect how they just decided if they found out then good, if not, they will, soon. like it’s all important but not big enough to actually make an announcement. i just love how this progresses. everything. the boys are well aware of their feelings anyway it’s just a matter of realizing it themselves and then making it all official. poor renjun tho accidentally walking in on them and still the first(?) to witness. cuz i think they all know alr it’s just that like it’s normal for them at that point haha and they may be surprised for a little bit but it’s all expected.
sorry it’s gotten too long? it’s just i enjoyed reading this so much it’s become one of my comfort fics now ;; it’s written so sooo good it’s perfect i swear. i could go on and on talking about this if you’re up for it even haha tysm for this. you are so amazing. i’m very thankful <3
- jae ♡
HEY??? WOW?? Oh gosh okay this was seriously a pleasant trip hahaha, thank you??! I saw this when I woke up this morning but I was so speechless I decided to wait but I'm still at a loss??
Short version: I am so delighted that you loved this fic! I really appreciate you sending in a review at all, but this is just... everything right now hahaha.
Long version: I think one of my favorite things about your whole review is that it was like rereading the fic, except with lively commentary? Like your review is basically a play-by-play of the fic but fun and with real-time feeling and reaction, if you know what I mean. I'm not lying when I say I was giddy and giggling throughout your entire review, like sitting in bed, freshly awake, unsure what time it was, heavy migraine, yet smiling and giggling like an idiot haha.
You feeling the normalcy between them and successfully registering the ease and lightheartedness within their initial dynamic is so great to hear. Say natural as maaaany times as you wish because it’s music to my ears hahaha. My goal is always for the reader to be able to understand and feel what the characters are feeling, especially the reader insert, so whenever someone tells me that, I melt a bit. I will say it was definitely hard to continue that feeling throughout the fic in a way that was natural as opposed to simply telling the reader "you feel this. this is how it feels. this is what it is" and at some points, I definitely felt unsuccessful, but I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
Hahaha the lotionnnn. That was absolutely the official turning point. Little gifts are all fun and baseless until you realize just how much thought is put into it. Like you said, he was watching her, and that is something she had to acknowledge. It wasn't simply him picking something out at random. He noticed her looking at a bottle of lotion, seemingly about to buy it but didn't, then proceeds to buy the said item in secrecy so that he can surprise her later. There's thought in every little aspect. Watching her, knowing her so well that he's able to tell she wanted that lotion, then buying it for her but instead of simply handing it to her, he decides to make somewhat of a grand gesture and surprise her. And if that isn't enough, he throws in a handwritten note. Thought. In. Everything. Ahh he is something. If I were her I would die right then and there.
They absolutely have been pining! Though unbeknownst to them, still definitely pining. It's these little people imprisoned in their brains screaming "Please let me out so I can openly love this person! Please release me, I want to kiss and coddle and sex them up for the rest of time!" and in their time at the house, these little peoples screams are finally being heard and every day they get louder and louder, until one day these little people with big feelings are finally released, and they openly and entirely embrace the pine.
The sex was something I knew how to navigate before I even began outlining. I knew I wanted it to be a stark contrast from how they act with each other, and I didn’t want it to be this kinky, heavily detailed sex because that’s not what the plot is about. As friends, they’re bold with teasing and their comments are unfiltered. Once they cross that line, they’re vulnerable, and in first light they aren’t as bold as the front they initially put up. Obviously that vulnerability will lessen once they finally talk about where to take it from there and decide to go all in, but upon them having sex the first time, it’s new and it’s scary and the reality that it could’ve been potentially damaging is something that will stick with them until it’s discussed and dissolved, because they are best friends. They do love each other. But even along with the frightening possibility that it could’ve hurt their friendship, it’s also different from the regular teasing because one, Jaemin wants to properly convey how serious he is and two, reader wants to understand what she’s feeling while also seeing if Jaemin feels it too. It’s a different type of an unspoken dynamic as opposed to the rest of the fic, because unlike it being unspoken questions about what’s going on, it’s “i like this and i think you like it too, let’s keep going. I trust you.”
Your review is not “too long” by any means, it is perfect and lovely and funny and animated and I appreciate it soooo so much, I can’t truly put it into words. One of my fics being a “comfort fic” for someone is like completely unimaginable, but UYI is?? Yours???? Sorry I can’t process, brain is malfunctioning hahahaha. If you’d like I would absolutely love to talk more about it and hear whatever else you have to say, whatever thoughts and opinions may be sitting in that brain of yours <3 My dm’s await you haha
YOU’RE amazing, seriously, this is so insanely nice of you to do. Definitely put a smile on my face so thank you for that <333
