This story could have 1,000,000+ words and I'll read every single syllable. You're only on 2009 and from what I remember of the first chapter, this story starts with Hyuk and Hae long retired and in old age so you have so much more to tell and I can't wait to read about what you have in store for them - the happy times, the fights and arguments, the little signs of their love for each other, the romance, and true friendship they have. So don't worry about how long this story is or that we want it to end because I don't want this story to end.
I can't believe Hyuk's friend blackmailed him. I'm concerned that his friend will keep coming back for more money now that he has this big secret to hold over Hyuk. Even if they decide to tell all of the members and families about their relationship, if the news gets out to the public their careers would be ruined not to mention it would involve the others too. I cried when Hyuk told Hae that his high school friends, the people he thought he could trust since they knew him when he was just plain Hyukjae, turned on him and don't want to be his friends anymore. Life can be so cruel and most of the time there's nothing you can do about it but sit back and know that you're "right" but being right sometimes doesn't mean much when you feel so alone.
If Hyuk's friends were hoping that their refusal to be his friend any longer would change Hyuk's mind (as if it's simply a decision he made one day to be gay) they were wrong, if anything when Hae heard what had happened, it only made his resolve to love Hyuk forever stronger. They need to deal with these things together. They shouldn't handle these things alone or individually. So they met with Hyuk's family together, and telling his family that he's gay and with Hae had to be the most difficult thing Hyuk ever had to do in his life. I wasn't sure how you were going to make them react to the news. I'm glad that no one disowned Hyuk or threatened to disown him. I'm glad that his parents didn't hit or slap him when they heard the news. I am disappointed that they thought it was an affliction that could be "cured" after meeting with a pastor. I wasn't sure what Sora meant when she said that she would love Hyuk - did she mean that she loves him so she'll help him get through this with their parents or did she mean it as "even though you're gay, I love you"? They haven't even approached Hae's mom and brother yet. Will they react the same as Hyuk's family? I'm hoping that at least one family supports them.
With all of this happening in Hyuk's life, he's still able to think of others. He thinks of how Heechul could still be part of the choreography if he decides to stay. He's not forcing Heechul to stay or even begs him to stay. He shows his support by indirectly saying "it's your decision if you want to stay or go, but if you do stay, and I hope you do, there's always a place for you here".
It's mid-2009 so Hangeng is still with super junior. I can't even imagine the many things that Hae and Hyuk will have to deal with at the end of the year when Hangeng leaves. They will have to deal with that along with the media coverage that will go along with it, plus any relationship problems you have in mind for them. I'm not too too worried since you've made their relationship stronger and stronger in each chapter and I think that's why I love this story so much. Each time you throw in some drama or angst they grow and become stronger because of it, maybe not immediately but eventually. They aren't ones to run away from the problems because they both know that their love is worth fighting for. There's always a sense of hope or optimism even if it's slight which keeps them going and keeps us readers going too.
