Your Writing Is Like ... - Tumblr Posts
first off, yunho learning things through akemi is literally the cutest because i can imagine babygirl babbling nonsense about hongjoong, and yunho nodding along senselessly like 🥺 but the part where yunho ran into akemi’s mother really broke me :( it’s really ... shocking how easily we’re able to take criticism from people who’ve no importance to us any longer. especially so harshly but i guess it’s expected to overthink negatively. the representation of butterflies throughout the story is so cute and endearing. “and i plan to continue loving you for as long as i can.” mayhaps i cried.
you know that melancholy feeling you get when a good story ends? like you want it to continue because of the sentimentality and how amazingly written it was but it truly was the end?? that’s how i feel about this story. every emotional placement was written so accurately that i could feel what you were trying to portray—and realistically this fic is romantically accurate because while we ideally pine after relationships to form quickly, it’s more correct that relationships take a lot of time to develop and obviously, a lot of moments where you need to back-pedal and consider whether or not you’re in the ride for the majority or not; and you’ve covered that thought beautifully. overall this fic was very warm and cozy—it gave a deep sense of familiarity and it reminds me of hot cocoa by the fireplace in the best way possible. thank you for writing it, your writing is always breathtaking and coordinated in the most actively imaginative context ever. you described all of their attributes and habits correctly and even when hongjoong got drunk, you didn’t overdo his intoxication or enunciate the fact that yes, he’s inebriated. i really, really liked this story! it was a blessing to read and again, the way you portray these characters so relatably is something absolutely admirable. gosh, i could vent forever about this but thank you for writing it caly, it was chef’s kiss!

↣ pairing: k. hongjoong x j. yunho ↣ genre: angst/fluff/sfw, single dad!yunho, teacher!hongjoong ↣ wc: 27.2k ↣ ao3 version here (contains smut) ↣ summary: liking yunho is akin to the smell of rain after a bad thunderstorm, the first star that appears in the night sky, and the last drop of sunset before the night descends. hongjoong isn’t sure if it’s his favorite thing or the one he fears the most.

Kim Hongjoong starts his days alone. Gets out of bed, does his morning routine, then goes to the elementary school ten minutes from his apartment all on his own. He runs through the monotonous and unending routine of teaching classes and watching the children on his own, sometimes stopped by another teacher in the hallway for a small chat but they never last long. Afternoons see Hongjoong watching the kids leave the school and staying in the classroom for an extra two or so hours for the one student who doesn’t get picked up until far later than usual. Then he heads home alone and concludes his day in the all too small apartment that is perfect for someone like him. “Someone like him” being a person who doesn’t need a lot to live happily or a lot to take care of himself. He has friends and family, people around him that he talks to on a daily basis, but there’s always something lacking and a certain feeling that nags at his heart when he sees parents with their children or couples in the street or his two best friends fawning over each other because they couldn’t be more in love.
And so, Kim Hongjoong starts his days alone and ends them lonely.
