I'm just. Oh God this is so far down my lane of how I perceive post-lawsuit and post-disbandment KrisHo with all its angst, reconceiling and dash of overcoming bitterness and pain. I wish I had written this.
I don't know where to start or end with what I felt and enjoyed about this story. The setting is absolutely believable and your description of Junmyeon's inner workings and his interpretations of Yifan words, action and reaction to everything excellently observant. I am not good with reading too coded content and am beyond pleased that most of the plot is matter-of-fact, comes to the point and specific symbolism is easy to pick out.
I love and ache at the numerous and repeated references of places they went to together by themselves and where they could be the unity they hid from everyone else. They call on a two-people privacy, happy moments that simultaneously soothe and hurt, and show how tangled they were with each other and never untangled in their hearts in the end.
Sometimes it is hard to understand why people get back together when obviously something painful occurred and there was a split. Throughout reading I never had the feeling the route to deciding to try having and working on the relationship was illogical, flawed or irreproducible. It makes utterly sense they end at the conclusion they were younger and handled a relationship differently than they would now. When you're older you do realize there is no really perfect partner and what makes the relationship stable is working on it always. They decide to do that. To give themselves a future while acknowledging it will be a constant progress and mistakes will be made.
Thank you so much for this piece. It is absolutely gorgeous, consequential and constant in its plot and development and I enjoyed it from the first to the last sentence. As I said, it's far down my lane of KrisHo angst.
P.S. Also thank you for not having those two go on a counter blaming rampage over the lawsuit and what happened in the first weeks after. Fans often use that narrative of blame due to bitterness and pity towards Suho and I find it very one dimensional. Here there was awareness of the upcoming end and I think it serves the story best.
