this is really beautiful and made me think about myself. thank you for writing this touching piece, fawz. namjoon would love this :)

fawzul, my love! thank you for giving me this wonder to wake up to on my corner of the world. borderline made me existential, but in a way that makes me want to reclaim my shame and honor its worth. wishing you good health, loving you always.
