silver medal BL

I'm not exaggerating when I say this: this story should be considered a BL classic. It's so fucking good. It's literally perfect . . . Up until the ending. Most of the ending is great, what I disliked was literally the last scene—when Doyoung and Hyunjin leave the hotel, it's revealed that Hyunjin, who I thought was the heart of the story, couldn't remember anything that happened. His memory got wiped. And I've just always fucking hated that trope

In all honesty, my enjoyment of this and why it is in this list falls entirely on the ending. The author fucking nailed this ending. This story is the epitome of the "right person, wrong time" sentiment and it all came together right at the end in such an insanely bittersweet way. I loved it. This story does have some pretty fatal flaws though, primarily in some of the conflict that happens since I thought it felt very needless and then poorly written, but that ending . . . Perfect
