“He’s my ex-boyfriend,” Minseok says at the same time, receiving two shocked looks. “What?” Minseok sits down in his chair.

As hesitant as Minseok was to try this, he finds biking fun

Minseok sits up and smiles at him. "I was just kidding. Calm down. It's not like I'd actually want someone like you."

Why do I love something that had so much HURT! Seriously though, this AU just happens to be that way, and you did such a wonderful job of of conveying it, both the unwanted marriage and the unwanted feelings, and the way each of them dragged on each other to them slowly, actually falling in love. It was lovely. Thank you so much! <33

I loved this.
It was so painful at parts, I wanted to slap Minseok seriously
I loved your characterization and the realistic edge to their relationship (I will admit the interviews made me think of the hunger games ones with Peeta LOL)

I loved how they slowly went from whatever to love, even if it involved Joonmyun going away, and Minseok spending less time with his best friend

thank you so much!

I'm so sorry for this late reply.

I never mean to write Minseok as a jerk, but sometimes it just comes out that way...? Anyway, thank you so much for reading this! I'm really glad you liked it.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Ahh this is actually Goong AU (I forgot to include that oops), so that might explain why Minseok is so rude sometimes?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.
