Gjah! This is so sad and heartbreaking and soul wrenching and sad and just brilliant. Be proud of yourself, you almost made me cry and I like never cry. Ever. Anyway, I totally love this, cudos on one hell of a fic!

that was a cruel story with a grueling ending! the summary was totally correct!
im kinda sad now
was really confused at the start of chapter 3, but i get it now
wow, that was some engaging writing
love your fics!

Um... let me see if I got this straight... Jin slips Hwoarang and unidentified supstance at the end of the first chapter, after they have sex, which then reacts with the chemicals from the explosion and drives him insane? Why? I don't understand. Why did Jin do that?

From what I can tell, Hwoarang went after Jin to stop him, and got stuck in the explosion, so if Hwoarang had gone through with their plan, he would not have been there! For the unidentified supstance to work, Hwoarang would have to have been in love with Jin, so he only goes insane if this is true? Obviously, if chapter two was Hwoarang's hallucination, then Jin went through with his plan to blow up his family... so why did he also plot to drive Hwoarang insane? Or wasn't that intentional, as you seem to imply from Jin's guilt at the end of the story? If so, then what was the point of the unidentified supstance?

Anyway, setting the confusion aside, I have to say that I liked the story very much, even though chapter two was a cruel, cruel way to tease. I had a huge lump in my throat all the way through chapter one... nothing worse than knowing something is going to have a tragic end, but still being unbearably beautiful and romantic! And I was so happy when I read chapter two, thinking that you changed your mind about the nasty end after all and wrote a happy fic, but then you struck back with chapter thre... evil, evilperson! *cries*

Chapter two was my favourite part of this story, even if it was a hallucination!:(

*goes off to AFF to read this*

If I am going to subject myself to reading a tragedy, then I at least want my damn porn with it!

I love this story. It was simply amazing. I even went to to read the smut and I was pleasantly surprised with your beautiful writing of the scene. I can almost never find such a vivid, yet ambiguous sex scene. This is simply an amazing story, one of the best I've ever read. The last chapter is still a bit confusing to me, I think I have the gist of it, but if you clear it up for me a little better (spell it out for me hahaha, I want to be sure what happened), it's be lovely. But I definitely enjoyed reading this! Awesome work.

That was so sad... but beautiful, and has a powerful ending. Love it! :)

Wow Salysha...that ending was pretty heart wrenching. Now everything makes sense. Damn I can't get over how emotional your writing makes me, only a handful of writer's here have been able to do that. My favorite part was the line you used to conclude the story, because it made me look at Jin in a different way afterwards.

Poor Hwoarang. I also like how you included Baek in the story to visit on his student, it made it all the more real to me. Overall, you did (another) great job and I can't wait to read more from you. You're amazing!

Finally I'm here to catch up on what I've missed! May I just compliment you again for writing Jin in a way that is likeable to me (you know how I have that dislike for him lol). I'm serious though, whenever I read your stories, I don't mind at all who they are about. Your writing is really good and your characters seem like real people to me.

I liked how you had Jin not be able to go through with the plan, showing that no matter what, his humanity wouldn't allow him to do something so horrible. It was very touching when he came back to Hwoarang, even I myself wanted to give him a hug. So far, I'm really liking this story and I'm moving on to keep catching up!

Wow! Another great stories of yours!

I've just read this one on that AFF link you posted on your profile (so yeah, i did read the more smutty parts as well, lol)

You really played with my feelings with that one!! I felt all sorts of emotions while reading your fic: from empathy to sorrow, from happiness to "hotness"...

The second chapter's twist earned me a foolish smile and the lump I had in my throat at the end of the 1st chapter vanished.

And then that final chapter's twist got me all confused at first, and then I re-read it and it broke my heart! The last lines just left me breathless.

That was beautifully written and very moving. (I haven't read the FF version, only the AFF one, but i'm taking for granted that the only differences are the smutty parts and that the storyline remains the same). And I love how we enter both Jin and Hwoarang's thoughts.

Thank you for posting this!

Sorry for my late review Salysha =-D

Ay. -mouth dropping~ WAT?!? Jin slipped da unidentified substance in Hwoarang's drink? uh...i dont quite understand why Jin did that ?

Wait...uh was all being with Kazama in da hotel all in Hwoarang's head from da drug he took?

Ok enough wit da ?s...I luv da ending mostly Jin walking alway from Baek...following his father's footsteps...I tink that was brilliant ending

As always Salysha GREAT story enjoyed da Tragic...

damn only one revew per chapter lol I also want to Welcome you for the help! Yeah! o.o I foregot to add that before -nods- Good story!

That truly was a good story, but soo sad. Poor Hwoarang! Poor Jin! I love it but I cried. It relay tuched me! I hope you writ more Jin/Howa storys or any tekken!

And again (said millions of times) thanks fore the bata reading my story!

I don't quite understand, is Hwoarang like this because of his little rendezvous with Jin? If so, is the "unidentified substance" what I think it is? XDXDXD

... Jeez, you and your love for torturing those two. Poor, poor lads.

Again, it was heart-wrenching. Padded cell? -is distraught- I really like how you thought this out, and how it came together in the end, regardless of its unhappiness XD. You know, chapter 2 was the happiest one, ha ha, and it just -had- to be all in Hwoarang's mind, didn't it. Clever with the last line of ch2 and the first of ch3 as well, nice. Dark, upsetting, heart-breaking, reinstating-the-fact-that-you-pretty-much-just-like-seeing-people-suffer, but yeah, nice. I jest XD it was a great way to end - I forgive you a little for having brought Baek into it, yay Baek ha - a touching fic such as this. Beautifully written, as always =] thanks for another great story!

I hope you continue this story. It's realy good so far. I don't know what it is but Jin and Hwoarang as a cupple is my out most fave out of all the anime and games I like. I really hope they do become a cupple in the Tekken seires LOL. But this stry is trunning out realy good. Please continue when you can! ^.^
