I commented with the wrong account last time. stupid. anyways starting over! WITH THIS CHAPTER UGH THANK YOU FOR THIS. just wistful and dramatic enough without being a continuation of so much angst.
"Beijing becomes synonymous with that feeling." I love this idea and how concisely you phrased it. It's like...sensory memory boiled down into one neat description. And it's also truly disheartening and only serves to highlight the seeming..superficiality? of Donghae's drunken happiness.
Speaking of which, when I saw Ping Ya's name at the beginning of that paragraph, i just KNEW. He would have to feel something like this. Using this to try and get over another person isn't cliche, it's realistic and instinctive and you did an awesome job of describing that feeling. A particular favor was Donghae's train of thought about losing Hyukjae, how Ming would be "just another" and then there would be this chain of other people before he just lost him.
All the dropped hints (more like punches in the face) re: Hankyung were just what I expected..this heavy, downcast factor constantly amidst the changing emotions in this chapter. Interested to see how shit will hit the fan, more than it has. Donghae's maturity in most of these situations is genuinely appreciated, as is the strangely graceful falling back into a relationship with Hyukjae, whatever kind of relationship it is. If we talk about the Kangin part, I'm gonna get real sad. Just know that this was really good!
