Description

Jackson is a writer at Buzzfeed, a job he mostly loves, because of all the strange things that happen on a normal day at work. When Jackson takes on the role of scriptwriter for a video project, he isn't prepared that someone on the team will be making this project a pain. Someone being a certain grumpy JB who disagrees with whatever Jackson does, although at least the other people in the project, Amber and Mark, are nice.

But maybe that's not even the most pressing thing Jackson should be worried about. Especially not after he learns that one of their lead actor for the project, Junior (also Jackson's good friend since high school), might have some past issues with said grumpy JB.

What's going to happen to the project, and will Jackson remain on unfriendly (*coughs, bad, coughs*) terms with JB? Or will something unexpected happen?

Also, just want to put it out here, Jinyoung's referred to as both Jinyoung and Junior in the story. Not a big deal tbh and you can read the note I wrote below if you want to know why (might have some minor spoilers for story).

I know Jinyoung has changed his stage name from Junior to Jinyoung, and to be honest I've always refer to him as Jinyoung even when he was called Junior. Someone asked if I would have Mark refer to Jinyoung as Jinyoung rather than Junior in the fic now that he changed his stage name, and I thought about it, but I realise the main problem is that Jinyoung calls himself Junior in the fic. So unless that mindset changes, it's going to be very hard for me to switch all the "Juniors" to "Jinyoungs" in this fic. I hope people reading understand. I fully respect Jinyoung's change in stage name, but for the purpose of this fic and the setting already laid out, I'm going to continue having Jinyoung refer to himself as Junior, and likewise Mark refer to him as Junior (as per fic!Junior's preference). Unless I somehow find a way to explain why fic!Junior would change the way he calls himself...

Dear Author-nim, you cannot imagine how much I love this story, its idea, its structure, everything! I hope you will continue this story soon. Cannot wait to see how jackson is going to deal with his feelings. So cute and relatable. Jinyoung is such a good friend. I can practically imagine them like in the story.

Chapter 29: awwww haha, Jackson is so cute while he's flustered like this~ I can relate to Jackson so much, sometimes you just have such a strong attraction to someone you can't pinpoint actual reasons other than fairly mundane ones, but it's still interesting to see how you react going back into old memories and trying to figure out why lol
And yayayay!! You've caught up! Well done!
I'm so excited to see more markjin now that we can see how Jackson is feeling towards Jaebum, again I'm sitting here not realizing I'm making faces until I get to the authors note, I'm so invested help

Chapter 28: omg I was trying to not smile and hold my face like Junior and just burst into a cheeky smile of many emotions until I remembered, this is just a fic and I don't have to hide my expressions from these people... but I was literally like "Yugyeoms gonna figure it out...he's gonna do it... whhooop he did it!!" I can't wait to read more from Jackson's pov, and maybe Yugyeom should make his obserations on Junior and Mark lololol
