It's his favorite place to drink coffee. Wooden turquoise shutters open out into mild spring weather, and the ambience in the café is just that perfect blend of warm and cool.

I loved the feeling of this. It was just a small moment, cherry blossoms in the wind, the smell of coffee, feelings, but you always capture those so well, weave a lifetime of intent into a single encounter. It's almost like magic—I can almost feel the wind, image the sound of a soft piano playing, maybe Chopin or Satie—so peaceful and calm and just the comfortable feeling of two people who know each other very well but don't take each other for granted. I love it. Thank you for writing it!!!!!

I should have had some music! It just never occurred to me ahhhhh. Also, you know what inspired the cherry blossoms? I watched the Sekaiichi OVA a few days ago. The one set in their high school days? Saga senpai and Ritsu were alone in the library and the petals were floating through the window and I was gripped with overwhelming feels otl otl. So this happened lol.

It was such an ordinary moment - drinking coffee in their favorite café, teasing each other (or more like Sungyeol teasing Myungsoo LOL), holding hands - but it didn't seem ordinary at all. You made it such a tender moment, sweet and funny, and I enjoyed this drabble so much. I didn't even notice that you never wrote Infinite before, it actually sounded as if you were really comfortable with writing that ship.
Sungyeol calling Myungsoo a big softie ;______; Can they get any cuter? I don't think so!
This was very description-heavy, but you offset it so wonderfully with the cute teasing and your descriptions are always beautiful and so well-done, so it never seemed like so much. You set an almost dream-like mood, that flowed smoothly into their very real, very genuine interaction and I loved it!
This was pretty and sweet, Adele! I'm so happy you took a chance on this pairing. It definitely paid off!

Thank you for reading this jenni ;;;; I know how busy you are orz. I still have no idea how to write myungyeol but I'm glad you disagree lol. It was description heavy - I guess I was trying to be more literary or something and then I was like okay enough of the zzz and went on to the dialogue lol. I've actually been trying to streamline my style in recent months so that it's less dense. Chenkai and exordium, chankai and sukai fest fic are all style experiments in that sense. I have to literally gag myself when I automatically reach for an adjective or adverb LOL. I'd like to hope it's a move in the right direction ^^
