Summary

"Minho and Jisung are sick and tired of being virgins. There's an obvious solution to that.

or: Two best friends decide that it only makes sense to lose their virginity together. What doesn't make sense is the way they can't seem to keep their hands off each other after that."

Reactions and Reviews

the angst is so heartbreaking tho i can feel minhos confusion, his frustrations and him crying makes me wanna cry too :(

also i absolutely love how u wrote their dynamics... just two best friends who love each other so much, romantically & platonically, and who literally trust each other with their lives AAAA and the bickering and rhe teasing were so natural and funny.

and speaking of minhos comfort.. i feel like in general he's a very chill person because he's so good at keeping himself in check? and that involves keeping his emotions and insecurities to himself (relatable lol) BUT the one person i can see truly imagine him letting himself be vulnerable with is jisung (it's part of why i very slightly prefer bottom minho minsung) SO all the mentions of how comfortable and how safe he is with jisung... I FELT ALL THAT. ;;;;;;;

the humor in this was so cute and lighthearted and real, even though a lot of it was very sexual in nature lol. it was the perfect balance of sex and comedy and sweetness.

WHY! why did this have to be so well written, so well thought out. ITS LITERALLY SO GOOD U DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND. you're insane for this, you know that right? how dare you write something so amazing... unbelievable.

look, the way you wrote minho and jisung? the way in which you portrayed each of their personalities to perfectly compliment each other in the best and worst ways possible yet still adding some amazing character development is nothing short of incredible. dude i'm hyping u up a fuck ton rn but u DESERVE it. like i have read some amazing fics, but in terms of character development/relationship this is one of the best.

And the characterizations! I'm so soft. Minho is this snarky softy who pretends to hate anything and everything mushy, and yet he really is the bigger sap of the two. Plus, I loooooved how clingy and emotional he would get after sex. I just love clingy koala Minho who is emotionally vulnerable and wants to snuggle. And Jisung! Jisung was so tender and caring and just so so sweet. He comes off as goofy, but he really put everything he had into living and caring for Minho, even if Minho wasn't in a space to recognize what that meant yet. They worked perfectly together, tbh.

And Seungmin! Oh my god I loved him in this. The 2min friendship being one of just blunt honesty and no-bullshit advice was *perfect*. And I loved how I'm that scene, Jisung just runs in like a bull in a china cabinet, wreaks havoc, and then breezes out, none the wiser as to the devastation left in his wake. Just *chef's kiss*.

the way you managed to convey their emotions with words is just amazing i can’t believe something with this much smut (not that there’s anything wrong with that) can be this sweet. i really love how sweet this ended up being. it’s like the perfect balance. when i tell you i almost tear up when they FINALLY kissed for the first time... you just know that it’d instantly change everything, it turned everything so soft in a second, even if it happened when it happened. i don’t know it just feels natural. i also really loved how domestic you portrayed their friendship to be, they are the absolute cutest.
