Author's-reader's thoughts on Chapter 8 of SOOH *** spoilers ***

DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE NEWEST CHAPTER OR THE STORY LOL. 

Here are a few things I've been thinking about concerning that last chapter ^^

1st point – a great chapter to sing karaoke to

It seems like I wanted to quote a few songs in this chapter and I didn’t even notice until I started correcting. XD

‘’ You are everything to me… ‘’ à You are my everything 🎶

‘’ I’d do anything for you, baby… I swear… ‘’ à I swear by All-4-One 🎶

(Note to self: Jinki is really corny XD)

‘’ … finally giving his weary head a rest. ‘’ à Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas 🎶

‘’ I still have to study … ‘’ à HAHA just kidding, just wanted to make sure you were paying attention

2nd point – Jaehyeon

Yo, when I first started thinking about Jjong having a friend at school and actually started writing him, I had in mind that Jjong had to find him a little annoying, but also us (I include myself in the readers) so we did not get too attached to him, but I actually really love him now (do you or do you hate him? XD). He just grew as a character without me even trying, it just felt natural and I love that Jjong always has people in his corner.

Talking about that…

3rd point – Where is Ming???

When I started writing this chapter, I had in mind it would be the last flashback part and I had plot points I wanted to hit before we got back to after the second chapter. But I realized the pacing would be all wrong if I just rushed through the issues in their relationship and didn’t take my time developing on that (yeah so this 2nd installment might be 20 chapters too huh? XD). All that to say that Ming has not been forgotten and as you know, Jjong feels guilty about not contacting him so let’s see what he does or does not do about it….

4th point – Am I even writing this ?

Every time I outline a chapter, it doesn’t turn out as planned, but it still gives something that is true to the characters, plot line, etc. Although, I wasn’t and am still not fully confident about that last scene, even though you guys seem to understand it. I do too, but I just think it was really uncomfortable to write, so that’s why it doesn’t sit right with me as of now. Like I said, when writing, it just felt like this was where Jinki’s head was at and he couldn’t think clearly. Makes me think that it is so much easier for me to write Jjong (when it’s mostly his POV or he is with other characters). Like many times, it’s almost effortless.

Okay I think that’s all the thoughts I’d share with you XD (does she actually shut up?).

 

I’d be interested to hear you on all of that or other things, not just about this chapter too…

And I was thinking I could make these posts after each chapter from now on… would you be interested? (I won't put notes at the end of my chapters, I don't like that)

Yo saraaaa!!! First of all, I have started liking jjong's friend to lmao. I thought I would hate him after that double date thing but no. He seems quite nice and I'm glad that jjong has someone he can talk other things too. Like we all need someone for lighter things as well u know???
Second, I miss minhoooooo!!! But but u know, I have a friend I always avoid during my tough times. Like I know he's been with me through everything and I want to keep him away from . Like I don't want our friendship to be about me messing up and him cleaning it up for me. But yeah, that messes up our friendship badly and we do talk once in a while just to assure that things haven't changed.
Next, I don't want you to rush things. Like, I understand this is story and all, but these kinda relationship problems don't just disappear with one kiss or even making love. I want to see them overcoming it just like normal couples. I don't want this to be fairytale.... So yeah I'm in for those 20 something chapters lmao....
And, I love this idea. This will help you to let your thoughts out and maybe inspire you as well??? Idk. Lol.
Anyways, once again, I loved your update. And I'm happy about it making perfect sense.... Keep up the good work!!!! Love you!!!!
Take care!!! ❤️❤️❤️
