Being in Time

Genre: Slice of Life 

 

Foreword

Author's Notes | Please Read

Hello, I am Myeon. So sorry for the bland description, I can't really think of anything more appropriate. This is actually my third story, but the first one to finish. My short attention span isn't really helping whenever I write even though I have lots of ideas. The tags are already the clues to what the story will be about, so I will not be giving out spoilers (or maybe I will when I feel like it). Don't expect a happy or sad ending yet since it's still undecided (haha lmao). I'm still new to this so constructive criticisms are most welcome. I read every comment and reply when I can. The pictures that I used are not mine so credits to the owners (you guys are so great at taking photos, two thumbs up). If you have questions, just ask (through comments or my Curious Cat) so I get clues where I can improve the story.

'Being in Time' does not have the same meaning with 'Being on time... for work, for school, etc.'

All of the chapters are in chronological order.

This story will include an Afterword at the end.

First one to guess why the chapter titles are like that gets a special mention (hehe). If no one can guess it by Chapter 3 then I'll do something interesting (haha).

Congratulations to Lubov17 for correctly guessing why the chapter titles are written like that. The explanation is in the Author's Notes of Chapter 3. :)

Chapter 26: hello! i just finished reading this story, and it's so good :(((((( would you be uploading more of your stories in the future? would really love to read more from you.



btw, (speaking as a reader lol) would like to emphasize (lmao) that you have written this so beautifully, and the story itself is equally beautiful. just love how you added seemingly random scenes that isnt as plot-heavy but what made them seem more human to me. i really loved the part when eunji and naeun first held hands, damn i felt that????? hahaha. also when they shared their ice cream. thats so.. idk i just love that. haha. thank u for this 2eun content lmao ❤ again thank u for sharing this amazing story to us!! really hoping to read more from you in the future (:

Chapter 17: Reread again cause i miss apink so bad. But it makes me want more you write past stories about this. Especially sojin - hayoung relationships and eunrong. The story i pictured about sojin - hayoung maybe looks like teenager first love. But it's okay. This is just my hope :)
Thanks again for writing bit :D

Chapter 26: Oh damn. I finished it in one go. What a rollercoaster feelings I put myself into. Thank you for this masterpiece, it's really good. The foreshadowing, clues, connections etc. I love how you used the classic triple ships in Apink but at the same time didn't forget to add twist with it. Same with the plot. Such a plot wise story. Well I already expected it the moment I saw the chapter titles. "Being in time" ... Wise move there author.

And ofcourse thank you for the afterword. Explainations and such question and answer portion that clearly shows on how you really worked hard on this story. Too bad I didn't experience the excitement of waiting for an update since I'm a little bit late to find this. Hehehe. Anyway congratulations for this story. You really did a great job here. Thank you <3 really worth rereading over and over again.

Chapter 26: GODDAMN THIS IS AMAZING WTF. Absolutely marvellous! I knew this was going to be a whole new world the moment I laid my eyes on the front page foreword, because I have never ever come across this clever method for chapter titles. What the actual masterpiece.

I appreciate the final chapter on your insights immensely. I love author commentary, and especially so in a story made with such detail, passion and hard work as yours. I'm most blown away by all the symbolism, foreshadowing and depth of meaning that I regrettably would have glazed over and taken for granted had you not been so kind to have elaborated on those things.

Reading your thoughts ended it on a very high note for me and I don't find it selfish of you at all. If anything, I think it makes the reader really realise the great amount of effort put into the writing; like I already thought it was magnificent, but learning about the symbolism made my jaw drop even further. I mean, the half-empty & empty bottles!? I forgot about Eunji's clue!! And there's even a well-crafted timeline!? :O

Knowing about these makes the story stand out in its own right. It's like I'm back in my highschool English class studying a classic text and uncovering the motifs, or analysing a film and questioning why a scene is shot the way it is; finding greater meaning in little things.

Also all the couples are just so cute. You made me fall in love with all of them and their characters.
- I loved the opposite socioeconomic status with Hajoo. Namjoo is so lovable and Hayoung as a CEO might just be the greatest thing out of everything.
- 2eun as a perfect match of mystery. I cackled at the freelance artist excuse they both used.
- My Chobom is adorableee. I can only squeal and make unintelligible sounds as words decide to fail me. I love their portrayal here uwu.
Watching the group slowly get connected was very exciting. It really feels like six completely different individuals who happened to get tied together, their fates crossed.

UGH YOUR MIND and gosh I wrote an essay of a comment keke~ Thank you for writing this story, really thank you.

Chapter 26: I just binge-read everything while procrastinating on writing my own sh*t, and holy cow that was some experience alright.
The details, clues, references hidden within the words completely blew my mind- and to dedicate an extra page to elaborate on more details and answer peoples' questions... you are the coolest author ever.

Chapter 8: Back after a whole month, Oh God help me XD
Was so busy LMAO life is so hectic.

I know I said I won't comment till the end but was once more triggered. Minah X Eunji interactions is a whole mood, I absolutely loved it❤ We also got some HaNa in this chapter lol

As a gamer myself and a huge Tekken fan, I was quiet entertained by the references lol! My favourite character is Ling Xiaoyu, no one would dare play with me if I choose her haha.

Anyways, hope you're having a good day ^^
