Soda Maker

The Apple Game

8 Soda Maker

 

Neither he nor Taemin is relenting to letting the other take home the soda maker.

 

“We both played and won the game, so why should you keep the prize?”

 

“I can ask you the same thing.”

 

In the end, they decide to share custody of it, like a child who alternately stays in their divorced parents’ homes.

 

“Sparkling water is nice.” Taemin says, smiling contentedly at the glass in his hand.

 

“Not as nice as your sparkling eyes,” Kibum tells Taemin in a thought bubble he wishes Taemin could see, like the bubbles in his drink he is staring at.

Chapter 6: Oh Taemin, you're so in love~

This one's as beautiful as the rest. I also think this format of writing really shows your talent, since you're able to convey so much in so few words. It's admirable <3

Chapter 4: First of all, you’re the sweetest for taking up on the idea (and I’m so glad you did because this is beautiful!) and wow, your whole set up of making it a drabble series is so much better. I’m really so glad and thankful <3

As I mentioned before, I haven't rly seen any other stories/works related to that of the whole apple game scene but I also haven't seen a drabble collection quite like this one before. The short length and simplicity of each one paired with your writing really makes it into beautiful poems. So, it feels more like a collection of poetry in a way, and on top of that it’s Taekey, so it is really such a treat. Especially that you’re writing it, because your writing is so poetic and beautiful, I really admire it <3 and it’s so fitting here.

Okay, my favorite one (so far - if there’s more coming?) is ‘Garden’ I think, especially this sentence— ‘Loving Kibum is painful, but loving through pain is noble. And the noble kind of love is beautiful.’ (Why are you making me feel sad and soft at the same time TT)

You’re really SO good with words, I don’t know what else to say. Also, the fact that you’re able to draw so much from one (to some degree) simple Taekey scene is astonishing.

Again, thank you so much for this! I love it <3
