Chance Encounters

Description

Title: Chance Encounters
Pairing: Doyoung/Haewon (OC)
Rating: PG-13 (there's a lot of the word '' so)

Summary: Between pages of meddling friends and societal expectations, all she actually wants is to find a happily ever after with Doyoung, even if it feels like that is no longer possible. 

 

Foreword

Johnny is the only person privy to Haewon's admittedly rather long term 'crush' on Doyoung, catching on rather quickly since they met and letting her down gently with "he's attached, Haewonnie". In fact, it's been three years since Johnny has shared that piece of information with her, but Haewon is unfortunately still hopelessly in love with Doyoung.

Hello, a new story starring NCT's Doyoung and Johnny. It will be a five-part series + epilogue. Enjoy!

Inspiration: Kim Doyoung in a suit being the death of me

Also, my obsession with the book publishing industry that borders on fanatical

Any resemblance to actual persons, especially the NCT members, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Additionally, the structure of publishing companies varies from country to country; everything I have and will describe related to publishing and writing is done in accordance with information I have from a short internship (EXTRA DISCLAIMER: IT WAS VERY SHORT) with a publishing firm a couple of years ago. I confess that my research is by no means exhaustive and would appreciate any constructive comments sent my way.

Thank you and i hope you enjoy this read!

Chapter 6: This is one of most realistic and bittersweet doyoung's fic. Damn, it makes me wonders a lot about relationships. I'm afraid to fall into a relationship like what Doyoung and Inhee had. Safe relationship without actually take a chance to feel great one with sincerity.

I screamed in frustation when DY kissed Haewon and said those things that hurt her. Bruh, you shouldn't do that in first place. But, good thing that they will take their chance now. Sobs.

Thanks for this story. It's very well written, emotionally driving and very realistic. I don't think I can sleep peacefully tonight.

Chapter 6: just stumbled across this and wanted to say that this is the most adult (as in realistic not rated) fic i think i've ever come across. the whole story- from plot to the characters- is rooted in realism like this is how relationships actually occur irl instead of the cliche overdramatic narratives we often are subjected to in media. this made the reading experience all the more compelling and heartfelt as i could easy imagine such a situation and dynamic occuring. you're talent for storytelling is honest and i hope you continue with this craft (be it as a hobby or professionally), as i truly believe that you display a gift for writing; especially that of the human condition. keep up the good work, i look forward to any future stories~

Chapter 5: Oh my goodness, this was SUCH a good story. It’s so relatable because I feel like this is how life is.

The story about having a really good friend and not wanting to ruin that relationship.

And then feeling something for someone at the wrong time.

Great job and I hope you continue writing!!!

Chapter 4: IM SCREAMING AT YOU ON BOTH PLATFORMS !!!!

My heart was fragile from the beginning, and now its a love triangle T_T

So, Doyoyng did catch her cheating hence the wedding being officially called off. But I guess I understand where Doyoung is coming from he was forced into an illusion others painted for him and decided to just go with the flow, thinking it was for the best.

I want to say you named this story Chance Encounters because every single one of the characters are given a chance to profess their feelings. Although I dont know of any of them will get together, I believe the title plays the role of they were able to confess, and "act" on their feelings and don't miss any regrets.

I dread love triangles because I ship so hard and die a slow and painful death when it sails the opposite direction, and prayed Johnny never had feelings. But we're going all in with feelings so why not habhahaba
