the question for the most memorable scene, there's many but the 1st poping into mind is: “Before you came, I always made the same four meals,” Minho whispers into the darkness, like it's a secret. “Over and over, every single week. I knew how to make more, but I never did.”
it was easy to see how/why sngmn needed mnho in his life. but in this scene you did a lovely job of showing why mnho needs sngmn in his life just as much. i like how you portrayed mnho's vulnerability in a fashion true to his character

OOH what a thoughtful answer thank you!! i honestly didn't think about this particular scene in those terms while writing it, but i thought it was important throughout to show that they both show up for each other, rather than it being one-sided in any way. seungmin checking in on the cats, bringing minho his lunch, coming to his show... seungmin's family making sure minho's not alone on chuseok (while also "subtly" vetting him in the process). i imagine that moving to a whole different country to pursue your dreams must be lonely, and even though he's lived there for a few years and has friends and acquaintances, they're mainly work friends etc.... that's the thought i started with, anyways, and i think you're right that this last scene really underscores that theme. thank you so much for telling me, anon <3
