"Ah! Oppa is so hot!" 

Yoojung wipes the food Somi has sprayed off her face, eyes still glued to the TV. BTS sunbaenims are truly mesmerizing. They have such a cool aura. And they're so in sync. Yoojung could never look away from their performances.

"Eh. They're alright."

That takes Yoojung's attention off of the television.

"Eh?" Yoojung is incredulous. What a betrayal. And from Doyeon no less. Just when you think you can trust someone...

"I mean, they're fine, but I don't love them or anything."

"Not loving BTS sunbaemins is like not loving Beyonce!"

Chungha pops her head in at the mention of Beyonce. She looks around the room, sensing the conversation isn't about her idol and disappears back into the kitchen.

"I just don't love them."

Yoojung is confused. "But didn't you say you wanted to be a part of BTS sunbaenims if you were a guy?"

"Yeah. If I were a guy, I'd want to be in BTS. You can stop tacking the sunbaenims onto the end, you know."

Yoojung's brow was furrowed. This was confusing. "Wait. You want to be them but you don't like them?"

"I never said I didn't like them. I said they're alright."

"B-but," Yoojung has always thought Doyeon was just as big a fan. They learned all the choreography together. Did she feel like she had to? Was Yoojung forcing her the whole time? "We danced to them. At Fantagio." Yoojung felt the tears prickle up. How inconsiderate was sh

This hurts, mann.. I read a bit of your discussion with mrml and I can understand that. I think it's more because idols have made their dreams their own "idols" and one of the most prevalent asian mentality is competition in all things marketable, smh..

I always reread angsty ioi stories (there's one series I've reread more than a dozen times the past week) and I just want to commend you for how true you describe reality. It's quite scary, as the darker greys of society are.

Chapter 20: Oh man, what did Nayoung even see? Minkyung's hormones are out of control...Now I kind of want to know whether or not Kyungwon is really connected to that drug cartel, or if she just has a thing for cute cops and decide to try her luck. I hope it's the latter, I don't think that dork would fare well in jail lol

Chapter 19: Now that was an amazing read. Kyungwon's struggle here feels so raw and real, you should definitely feel proud. The whole 'hammer and nail' metaphor was beautifully executed. You write emotions so well, I don't think youre rusty at all, they feel as poignant as ever. I love Nayoung's portrayal, the dynamic between 'leader' and 'friend' was a delight to read, just the right amount of stern but comforting. Minkyung however, i felt couldve been a little more comforting in the beginning, but I guess you did say that she didnt realise how badly Kyungwon would panic. Im kinda curious to see who else has 'violets in their lapels' (double yay for old lgbt traditions), im assuming its Minkyung, but it might not necessarily be. The greedy part of me wants to read more of this, especially Siyeon and Kyungwons convo, but i think its wrapped up ok, since this is mostly Kyungwon's journey. It was a great read, i miss your writing xD
