Omg this was my prompt! I'm so sorry I couldn't comment so early because :(

I really loved every single bit of it, it's even way better than what I've wanted and asked for (THANK YOU), fake dating is such a big weakness for me, and you gave me a fluffy, cute fake-pretend chankai fic and I didn't keep smiling like a fool while reading it, like at all, because this is so gross.

Let me start with Jongin, he's so charming, confident yet shy at times but he was adorable especially when he was sleepy , because YES! sleepy jongin is another weakness for me, I like how he made everyone believe they are a real couple even though Chanyeol wasn't really a good actor, my favorite part was this :

""What about something more subtle, to show him a new side of you? Like… I'm some timid little thing - clinging to your sleeve, hiding under your arm, stuff like that - and you're the suave charmer bringing me out of my shell?" He tilts his head at Chanyeol. "Or even vice-versa, if you're more into that. I can play the dominant one instead.""

^ This was really so funny, I felt like he was talking about playing a role in a drama or something.

Now let's talk about awkward Chanyeol, because he was so paranaoid and this made him even more cute, this is really how I imagined Chanyeol when I left the prompt, hot but awkward, it was so obvious that he was trying to find a closure for his failed relationship with Kyungsoo, but at some point I was so scared when they talked again (in the living room) because I felt like they are trying to rekindle an old flame, when Jongin was attracted to him.

"Well, I did try sad poetry for a while." That sets Jongin off laughing again, nearly doubled over in the middle of the hall. "It never got published, thank god. Junmyeon refused to read it. He said if he wanted to be unsettled, he'd pick up a horror novel. So I wrote him a horror novel."

^ This really made me laugh, I want to see what kind of poems he wrote to make Junmyeon ask for horror novels insted lol.

This side characters as well were great, I loved Yura, kyungsoo and Junmyeon so much.I really can't find the words to thank you for going out of your way to write this beautiful fic for me. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this story, I truely loved and enjoyed reading it and you satisfied my deprieved chankai feels.

PS: Baeksoo, I see you.
