Ao3 really needs to update Kudos to be given to every chapter because whoever wrote the TanFang fic in which Tan was in a coma deserves it.

Okay, I'm late to the party, but like...
THIS CONVERSATION WAS LAYERED!
Eiw is begging Cake to let him go, but Cake refuses. Eiw doesn't want to be a fool for Cake (in love with him), but Cake wants Eiw to be his honest self (in love with him).
Eiw knows he isn't strong enough to distance himself from Cake and the heartbreak that comes with it, so he is begging Cake to let him go, to let him be free, and to allow them to grow separately now that the opportunity is there, but CAKE REFUSES! Even when Eiw turns away, Cake holds on to him and asks for reassurance that Eiw isn't leaving him ("Are you...are you going to wake me up tomorrow as usual?").
Neither breaks down until this moment. This is a moment of resignation. In this moment, it's been decided that if they are going to be in pain, they are going to be in pain together.
Eiw wants to let go because the pain of holding on is too much while Cake wants to hold on because the pain of letting go is too much.
Once again, Eiw is pleading with Cake the entire time to let him go. Eiw knows how he feels about Cake, AND CAKE KNOWS TOO. This moment shows it.
We end with the boys in separate spaces. Eiw retreats to his safe space at home with his mom where he can cry over the happy memories of them, while Cake remains on the bridge, which is symbolic of the transition he is experiencing, not just in life, but with his emotions.
Cake, too, is looking back over their friendship, but he is now seeing all the times he sought out Eiw, Eiw's touch, Eiw's warmth, Eiw's love. He has always been aware that his feelings for Eiw are more than what he feels for others, but on that bridge, alone, he is aware of what those feelings really mean now that possibility of Eiw and all the things he gives to Cake might not be there tomorrow. And that scares him.
Not because of what he might lose, but what he'll never get to experience because he just realized what he can give if given time.
Love. Real, honest love.
Lamentations 3:25 (NKJV) - The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.
EXO-Ls don't listen to whatever sh*t AllKpop is reporting. The company is made up of wannabe journalist that rides on trash fake news. Remember that this is the same company Ailee's ex-bf works for. The bf who released her nudes for money. AllKpop is a sorry excuse for journalism.
Also for those who are hating on Chanyeol for his allegations, get a life. Remember that many idols have died because of the many lies and hate that were sent to them. We have idols taking hiatuses for anxiety issues. There have been so many lies told about idols from antis that have caused humiliation to them.
If any of these allegations are true, why did that person delete the post? Why are there so many people saying that the pictures are photoshopped? Why did Baekhyun speak up?
If you don't like Chanyeol or are not a fan of EXO, then go support your own faves. Stop wasting your time sending hate to someone you don't even know. You're not going to learn a new skill from it, you're personality is just going to get uglier.
Do not listen to AllKpop or any other trash news outlet that pretends to be professional journalists. Wait for Chanyeol and what he says about the situation.
She's not going to be easy. She's too hard on herself, and deep down won't ever believe she's good enough for you, no matter how many times you say it. But to see her rare smile when she dances around her house and to see the light in her eyes when she sees that you care. To see her concentration when you play Mario Kart, to see the wild and natural state she lives in is a simple joy that cannot be described.
In fact, just be there for him. but only when he feels like it or when he needs it.
when he doesn't want or need it, wait for him
because he will always come back to you.
