Hahaha same here ;; I have this list of happy qmi fics I go down every time I'm feeling down in the dumps I can't even count the number of times I've read them ;;;;
Oh no it's always interesting to me what other people see in my writing, because I might see one thing and write it one way, but the way other people might interpret it fascinates me, and sometimes they pick up on things I missed but may have been subconsciously going for!? So don't apologise!
But that's exactly it. If you think about it, life is really just a series of choices, a tree with almost infinite nodes—but at the same time, the probability for almost every choice is also infinitely small, leaving in the end only one or two with a reasonable probability of being chosen. And what then is a choice that is entirely our own? Because I could perhaps make the most outlandish choice to quit school and fly to um, Inner Mongolia and live there—but even then it's a choice that would've been shaped by my surroundings and past in some way. Or at this moment, I could choose to not do the assignment I'm currently working on, or I could choose to do it, but regardless of which I pick, it's still not really my own choice. They're all right and wrong at the same time, and you can't really say whether it's right or wrong.
(to tie this back to the fic because oh man I'm rambling I'M SO SORRY) Based on the setting, from Kyuhyun's perspective, the 'wrong' choice was to associate with someone 'inferior', with a criminal. The 'wrong' choice was to try and save Zhou Mi even though he's a criminal. Similarly, Zhou Mi made the 'wrong' choice of associating with Kyuhyun, of changing his own course of actions for Kyuhyun's sake. But the 'wrong' in both cases are completely different and depend entirely on perspective.
...And idek where I was going with this and I definitely wasn't actively thinking about any of this while writing so if I just dumped a load of tl;dr on you that you never wanted to read AHHHH I'M SORRY.
but in hindsight it's kind of interesting to consider. Hm.
