Great fic. I love your play on Hwoarang's emotions.

A few corrections on the korean; You got all the words right, but for teacher, it should be Seonsangneem. the neem is a honorific suffix for people you revere, like the Japanese 'sama'. Even though it is often omitted by slightly rebellious students and people or parents older than the said teacher, but in the context of this, I would think Hwoarang would add the suffix. And you don't usually put a g at the and of seon; the pronunciation ends quite solidly with an n. And the usage of sanae for man was a bit awkward; I would have thought that 'namja' would have worked better, but maybe that's just me.

Anyway, good job!

Wow, great work on this. Bloody brilliant. Nice one, keep at it.

Saying sorry, admiting one's crimes and shame are the most difficult things any person can do. I feel that Baek would be proud of his student and find it in his heart to forgive his wrongs.

Excellent oneshot, Raze, and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be a light hearted at first when I began reading it but as I read more of it I was kinda wrong :P But anyway I just loved it as you kept Hwoarang in character and that you shown a more deeper and emotional side to him that writers don’t actually write about him.

I liked the start of the letter and I could imagine him saying that, like trying to make casual small talk so he would come across as nothing serious is happening. He’s kinda more like a person who is laid back and all if you know what I mean xD Haha, I was laughing when he was on about the accident with the football – that is something that he would do as well. I think with all the rambling that he’s doing is that he’s trying to give Baek a small signal that he is in deep trouble now and that’s a side of Hwoarang that I find slightly endearing and adorable to say the least :) Or maybe it could be making up for lost time and all that since they haven’t been in contact with one another for so long now...It’s kinda surprising that Hwoarang has left home because he seems to have a father/son relationship with him – it just kinda reminds me of a child that has moved out and is now writing a letter for their parents to let them know they’re fine or whatever. Judging by what he remembered about being with Baek, I can tell that they had both fond memories of each other when Hwoarang was growing up :D “Since I made you something to eat and you laughed at the fact that I had somehow, and I quote, "lit the water on fire" – lol, how can someone set light to water? xD Just the image of Hwoarang doing that makes me laugh! I think that it is very heartfelt when Hwoarang is man enough to admit that he can’t do it in the real world. Sure, he is a fiery and hard-headed character who loves gambling on the streets, fighting for money, but I sense there is a sensitive side to the Korean and you portray that very well.

Damn, Hwoarang got thrown into jail then? Aww, poor him :( But at least Hwoarang did the right thing and teach them something that Baek had taught him – fighting. It just proves that he is dedicated to Tae Kwon Do and that Baek’s words and teachings have given him a valuable gift/lesson in life. Hehe, wouldn’t it be funny if Hwoarang set up his own dojo and teach the kids martial arts, now that I want to see! “Knowing how you think and everything, I doubt you missed me, and that's fine. I was just annoying.” – Nah, I doubt that. Even though Baek was strict with Hwoarang and all that, he still loved Hwo in his own way and you have to give the guy a bit of respect for that :P It’s like when Hwoarang was growing up, there might have been differences between him and Baek like any normal teenager would have with their parents, but Baek done a good job in raising Hwoarang like his own son and I respect that.

God, I feel sorry for Hwoarang – his life is kinda shit compared to the one he had with Baek, the poor thing...There is a caring side to him and I admire him for doing his best trying to save the lost souls of the street. I think he’s doing what he thinks is best and trying to teach them a lesson and all. I'm the sonyeon in tattered clothing, stealing your spare change. I'm the sanae with a knife to throat, demanding everything of value that's on you. And I am ashamed of it. I don't want this life. “ Oh Hwoarang, must you stoop to this low level? It just proves that life is hard on his own and he’s trying his best to make ends meet, but in a bad way of course. In a way he’s asking for Baek’s forgiveness, but his pride won’t let him admit that he wants to come back to Baek. It’s kinda like Hwoarang is the prodigal son and Baek is the concerned father figure. “Like an abeoji to an adeul. And I carry them close to me, caged in my arms, fighting the bitter cold, leading myself to what may be my death” - that’s one of my favourite lines, it’s very touching and heartbreaking. Oh, and the use of the Korean words in this seems to fit in well as it makes it even more personal and heartfelt :) Well done with this!

I think I might cry...

Brilliant apology letter!

I enjoy ur Hwoarang, how you make him reality in words!

Fantastic shot once again!

Ohoho! OF COURSE I'd review your work, Razer! Me net got cut last night. (Daddy pulled the plug!)

This is why I freaking love your Hwoarang. The way you write him is so badass and so adorable at the same time! -huggles a random Hwoarang from left side-

If only Baek would write a letter to him, too. -huggles random Baek from right side-

It's great, and using Korean language to further explain the story/letter was amazing. I learned something new!

Keep it up, Razer! -suddenly huggles you-

~sei

YEAH!

Brilliant oneshot once again, it. I love cutesy rambly stuff. X) Once more, you really got into the character's head, and write something.. so THEM. Nice one. Very nice one in fact. *waits for a little bit of forgiveness~ :o *

Okay, all those Korean words I knew already, but if I didn't look at the bottom where your author's notes were, I would actually thought you were Korean! XD LOL, I really loved how you incorportated them into the story so well.

Ah, I love this. Hwoarang actually letting his emotions run, and I liked how it didn't sound cheesy. Gah, there's just so many quotes in here that I love but I can't copy and paste the whole thing on here because it's pretty much the whole thing! :D Excellent work!

Kamsahamnida for writing this! :) Take care!

Hey ho. Now, I could lie and say this exceeds all expectations, but it doesn't. I KNEW this would amazing, even before I had opened it, and this has not let me down in any way. Amazing atmosphere and writing second to none. Shine on, you crazy diamond. Thumbs up to you.

Hwoarang baring his soul?

Wow, that's a first, hahaha.

Anyway, this was fantastic... as ALWAYS. :D

You pulled it off well and it didn't sound corny.

"Now I'm the head of the gajok. I'm the one looking after all these other people around me, making sure they're alive and breathing. I have the skies crying above me, a cold wall to rest myself against, scraps for nourishment, and with an arsenal of whores, assholes and innocents shoving me this way and that. I have to point them in the right direction, and most of the time they don't listen. And every time I try to sit next to them and help them out, or discuss whatever, they turn away and proclaim that their lives mean nothing to nobody. That there is no hope. That the light at the end of the tunnel will never come. That everyone is doomed, confined to the streets that they now blunder through in drunken despair. Him and her. Them and us. Me and you."

-Pure brilliance!

I am very much in love with this piece. It overflows with emotion without being cheesy and your incorporation of Korean words in the fic was a nice touch. Definitely adding this to my faves list. :)

OMG.

... O.M.G. TOTAL WIN.

I would quote all of my favorite lines/passages, but I'd have to copy and paste the entire thing, and that would be rather pointless. Besides, I don't think reviews allow that many characters...

This piece is so freaking touching. The language and structure is absolutely perfect for the casual and caring letter format. It reads loose enough to be conversational, yet intimate enough to really showcase the emotions being 'written' on the page.

I think this ranks among my top 5 favorites of your writing. OwO
