sjdsfghkjds YIXING MAKES ME NERVOUS because he does strike me as really complex, and I LOVE that about him and I really wanted to avoid writing him as shallow or one-dimensional. I think I wrote this BECAUSE i wanted to write Lay. And Kris, poor baby, his fail only makes him more wonderful and human to me!! Thank you so much for the note on dialogue-- dialogue is something I love writing so very very much, and i love writing about friendship because i think friendship is just as important as romance. i love EXO and how much they all genuinely like each other SO MUCH and it's one of their biggest draws for me <3 Thanks so much for reading and commenting, and so so happy you enjoyed it!
