sweetestjongin | #243: Event Horizon

Hello dear author! Thank you for the space-themed Kaisoo ^_^ You did a great job incorporating all the facts, and it made the story (and Kyungsoo) more interesting! I have a few favourite quotes, and recommendations, so I can't wait to find out who you are at reveals ~
Thank you again for writing

Hello and sorry for the late reply!
First of all I want to thank you for reading and commenting on my story!
(and also for following me on twitter, haha)
I'm really happy you liked the story and I'd love to hear about your favorite quotes and your recommendations, of course!

djasjdjas im squealing this was sooooooooo gentle and fluffy and soft and sweet and STELLAR ahhhh
i like the pacing of the story it was soo pleasant and calming i cant explain it well but??? very enjoyable i mean!!! it's so nice to read a pure fic like this, no drama, just friendship and love and it's so ajdjafksk <3
both of them were equally my favorites, jongin was super nice and patient and i looooved that so much!! and kyungsoo's character was amazing too, he's so lovely despite his insecurities but im glad jongin is by his side to remind him everytime that kyungsoo is his planet that jongin orbits around ;;;;;;; even though this is prob classified as a space au of sorts, with nerdy!kaisoo (fact, if you're passionate about something, you're a nerd hahahah <3) you absolutely nailed the relationship progress from between them as well! im not kidding that i'd read 100k of just both of them cuddling and stargazing and being comfy toasty domestic (also preferably written by you!!) :))
i love this lots and you too thanks for writing and sharing <333333

Thank you so so so much for your comment!
It's so lovely and always makes me feel all fuzzy and happy inside. ;;
I'm happy that you enjoyed the story's pacing so much and also liked my characters.
I don't know if I'd be the write person to write 100k domestic kaisoo (though it would probably be super cute) but I take it as a compliment for how much you liked my writing and humbly accept all the love and support. (hihi)
Thank you again for reading and commmenting!

spot coz kaisoo and space omggg

i'm B A C K! i'm so deeply in love with this fic. it's my currently fave bc it brought yes to my eyes from how wonderfully this was written and the progression of the story had me clutching on my chest from these overwhelming feels. i have no words but i love you and this is beautiful. i even messaged my friend and told her to read this ASAP just bc damn it's really the fic i've been waiting for my whole life. i love nerdy ksoo who loves space and glaxies, black holes... gosh, this is so perfect and i really can't stop thinking abt this fic after reading it.

also, the touch of reality was here, their insecurities at the end and how they were able to comfort each other from it and then ksoo's feelings, his background, i feel so sad when he opened up to jongin and jongin was so willing to accept him for who he is and it's just so ideal of them. what they have is so ideal.

the story is perfect as it is and i'd definitely reread this again. this fic is so special... and i thank you for writing kaisoo. i hope you'll write more kaisoo bc i'm reading them all.

You have no idea how much this comment means to me!
I was actually kind of insecure about the story right before finishing it up so I'm even more touched and happy that you think so highly of it.
I'm so happy you liked the story so much and feel especially honored that you even told your friend to read it.
I have written kaisoo before and will definitely continue to do so in the future and I'd love to see you on the way again <3

this was an absolutely amazing read author nim. i loved how you incorporated space stuff through kyungsoo without making it feel boing at all, actually all those stuff made me really intersted in spcae too. and i loved loved loved kyungsoo here. Hes so precious and beautiful mygod. good job authornim on this masterpiece.

Wow! Thank you so much for calling it a masterpiece even!
I actually was so fascinated while researching space facts for this piece that I had to pull myself together to not include too many just because everything was so super interesting!
I'm happy you liked it so much and just want to thank you again for reading and sharing your thoughts <3

This story is sweet. Their relationship is sweet. Everything is sweet.
But the thing I really love is the space!! I had a thing for astronomy back then so this is so fun to read. The way you blend them in the story and in their conversations is really good!

Ah, thank you so much!
I was afraid I would mix things up or make it unplausible for peeps who know about space or that something wouldn't sound write but you approving means that I wasn't completely wrong, I guess. ;u;
Thank you for reading and commenting. I'm happy you liked it so much <3

Alright. Upon their first encounter I AM ALREADY HOOKED. Nerd Kyungsoo is life. Kyungsoo was painfully, and adorably awkward but I love it. I can relate to Jongin while reading this fic because I am Jongin, who's absorbing all these new information that Kyunggsoo throws. I cooed at te sigh of sleeping Kyungsoo, that was so cute. I felt Jongin's admiration for Kyungsoo even from the start, tbh.

Kyungsoo's character is so on point. But my favorite part where it showed another side of him is when Jongin visited his loft the first time. That's what you call character dimension, and, you did a good job holy shit.

Oh my god. The ending part, where they talk about tiptoeing the line and about to sleep and have sex, damn, that conversation was so lovely and healthy. I can see their trust with one another, and how their relationship blossomed to that. I can't remember any kaisoo fics that had that kind of beautiful conversation?

This is so beautiful, and so romantic. I love this fic. My fave so far from everything I read in 2017. I will find you. Good job!

I feel so honored and happy about this comment. My hair stands on end and I feel all warm and fuzzy whenever I scroll past and reread it.
So thank you so so so much for your comment and all the love und support!
I am so happy that you liked who I put together Kyungsoo's character and the compliment for his character dimension means a lot because I remember rewriting and thinking about his "opening up" scene a lot.

I'm also happy that you noticed and pointed out the healthiness and trust they have. After putting in the 'real' part after their confession I thought it was important for Kyungsoo's character to have them approach the whole topic that way and I'm glad someone noticed <3

This was a story I read progressively over three days. I might actually be slow and busy, but it's also because this is a fic that needs time. You can't just skim this, you gotta snuggle up under your warm blanket (possibly with chocolate, but that's optional) and really take your time with this. Because the characters certainly do, going at things at their own pace.

Everything built up slowly, but steadily, so my heart could twitch and ache accordingly when it burst so suddenly by Soo deciding to just kiss him already! *haha*
I like how Jongin stepped out of the frame Kyungsoo liked to put everything in, showing the self-awareness that life ain't no high school movie~
For a sec I feared there would be a quick smut scene squished in -just for the sake of it- but then I was really glad you didn't.

Last but not least I enjoyed all the space facts. I have zero clue about astronomy, but I had faith in you looking up all the little facts, so when Soo called Pluto a planet I stumbled a little, but was certain that it would be resolved later - and it did ♡

I saw this prompt, and I never expected it to become such a long, sweet story. Thanks for devoting so much love and time to this, it certainly payed off, in my opinion ♡

Thank you so much for your comment!
I certainly took my time answering, too orz
I don't even know what to say because I'm just so happy with all the little details you pointed out and how the work and thought I put into them obviously resonated with you <3
I honestly thought about wether to include a smut scene or not because the prompt was open for NC-17 but when I looked at Jongin's and Kyungsoo's character dynamic and how they work, I realized I couldn't. They weren't ready yet.
I'm glad, relieved and happy that this decision gets so much positive feedback!

Thank you again for taking all the time to read my story and come up with such a lovely, heart-felt comment full of support, too. It means a lot ;u;

Haha, it's nothing :3 Watch me reply even LATER *why am I slacking off like this*

You're very, very welcome. It takes some courage not to do smut sometimes (weird as that sounds), and I think it totally pays off ♥

I love this!! I love space theme so much.
I really love kyungsoo became a space enthusiast, i can see how much he love space with every word he use. Ahaha.
And jongin, he is such a cutiepie. I love how he stay by kyungsoo side and make him believe how beautiful it is.
Love you authornim!

Thank you so much!
I'm happy you like the story so much and took time to comment, even <3

Wow. This is really beautiful. Idk. Dear author, you have a way with words that seemed like magic??? This was really refreshing to read. TT and I love this space-themed kaisoo!!! They're so cute TT

I really liked how passionate Kyungsoo towards the things he like. :') I loved how their relationship progressed and how Soo opened up to Jongin.

I burned with the romance. /sighs. Jongin's really patient. Although Soo may have some insecurities, I'm glad Jongin's there to reassure him and shower him with love and affection. And the talk they had on the end was really good <3

Ahhh. Thank you so much for this. It made my day extra warm & sweet. :) Please accept this ❤ Yayyy!!

Thank you so much for this beautiful, warm comment.
I'm always happy when I return here to scroll through all the lovely words and support and love you left here. It encourages me a lot and just makes me feel so happy and fuzzy all over <3

This is beyond beautiful.

I'm fond of reading fics with space references but this, this, is different. You took it to another level and I learnt things in the process, that is what it makes it a different experience.

I'm so in love with this one <3 from the references, to the characters, to the development, the dialogues. One of my favorite things was Kyungsoo being so talkative about space with Jongin, how he would shy away first and then became comfortable.

Keep it up author!

Thank you so much for your comment and for all the praise and support and love!
It means a lot to me and I'm just so happy that my story made you happy - and learn things about space, hehe.
I will definitely keep it up and if I ever struggle with insecurities, I can come back and reread the lovely comment you left for me <3

I AM CRYING THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR STORY AND I LOVE NERD KYUNGSOO AND HIS AFFINITY WITH EVERYTHING SPACE RELATED AND JONGIN I LOVE HIM TOO FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR KYUNGSOO

OKAY LISTEN, THIS IS MY NEW FAVE KAISOO FIC THIS 2017 THIS IS ONE OF MY NEW FAVES AND I'M SO EMO RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT TO CRY FROM HOW BEAUTIFULLY YOU'VE WRITTEN THE STORY AND THE STORY ITSELF IS BEYOND BEYOND BEAUTIFUL I WILL SURELY REREAD THIS AGAIN BC THERE'S MAGIC IN YOUR STORY TELLING I WAS HOOKED, I WAS CAPTURED, I SUCKED FROM THIS BLACKHOLE YOU'VE MADE!!!

I'M GONNA STALK YOU AUTHORNIM BC YOU MIGHT HAVE OTHER KAISOO GEMS THERE IN YOU THAT IMMA BINGE READ. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS, FOR YOUR STORY, FOR EVERYTHING. I ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH AND NOW I FEEL SO GODDAMN IN LOVE, I LOOK CRAZY NOW MAN I JUST WANT TO SMOTHER YOU WITH MY LOVE.

Thank you so much for all the aggressive capslock love and support! You're enthusiasm is much appreciated and I'm feeling really honored and happy that I was able to move you so much and that you liked it.
It's a real honor to hear/read someone say my work is their new favorite thing ;u;
Thank you for that!
I do have another kaisoo story (but it's old and far from good).
However, I definitely have more kaisoo up my sleve (all those story ideas I never get written).
I'd be ecstatic to see you there, taking time to read and comment on some of my work again <3
(ps: feel free to stalk me, I put my contact thingies in the master list comment thread)

Working at a planetarium is my dream job. Or maybe at NASA. I mean, dream big, right? XD (Hello Joonmyun, I actually have “real interest” in this job!!)

“Jongin spluttered.” Much charismatic. Wow ^u^

I like that Jongin started wondering about stars/the planetarium out of his own interest before he even met Kyungsoo and not because he met him.

STAR PUNSSSSS (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Things that happen when you get too into planetarium fics: reading “the boy at the other side of the room” as “... other side of the moon” OTL

Aww, it's so nice to see shy Kyungsoo coming out of his shell <3

Sobs, I want to watch (or more specifically: hear) Jongin's show. His posts on the Exo fanboard always have such lovely wordings, I'm sure he would come up with a great presentation at a planetarium show, too.

That feeling when you're an introvert and like living alone but sometimes it does feel a bit lonely... ~~of course I might be projecting but~~ I think I understand Kyungsoo well.

Jongin encouraging Kyungsoo was really amazing. He's a good friend. And I love how you showed that categories like popular kid and nerdy guy are stupid and don't define people.

Their relationship is really precious – both before and after the love confession. I like that it doesn't magically make Kyungsoo's insecurities disappear. Because, lbr, it's just never that easy irl and when that's something you can relate to as a reader and writers go that ooooh-love-now-all-your-problems-are-gone route, it just makes you blank-face, like o...kay... not really. But you didn't do that! You gave the characters time to develop, and little successes, and setbacks, and someone who's like “hey, you can do it, I believe in you.” And that's what really means the world <3

EO!
I'm dizzy from happiness (or is it because I had another coughing attack?) that you took your time to read and comment here <3
I'm so happy you liked it and I'm even happier that I got the introvert thing right (heh) and you could relate to things in my story.

I'm also extra happy that you appreciate my detour and the whole 'love confession magic' thing that I build in to make the whole thing realer. It's kind of an relieve that it all seemed to have worked in my (or the stories) favor, haha

PS: I also think you'd be amazing as supervisor Junmyeon's assistant or at NASA ;)
and yes! STAR PUNS - it's not a real yuku fic if I don't make weird puns lol

OKAY THIS WAS SO GOOD AND I AM SO BAD AT EXPRESSING MYSELF BUT PLEASE BE AWARE OF HOW GOOD THIS IS. I CANT BELIEVE IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO READ IT UGGGGH.
The flow is so nice, and the writing even better. I love how poetic it is. Also character!!! development!!! Yeees~~ AND THE SPACE, I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It's so fascinating, so mysterious, so beautiful. I loved Kyungsoo's emotions towards it and the facts were res interesting, I too learned a lot from him, along with Jongin haha.
Thank you so much for writing this, really!
