Author's note: Do not read further this posted chapter if you have not finished the fanfic and is planning to do so. The following author's note contains spoilers both for 300 Hours and its sequel. Thank you!

Okay, I've re-read 300 Hours while I was struggling to write the sequel's next chapter and I also went over the comments for this one. After reading my own work, I've realized how the plot was  some sort of selfish. This is all from my perspective, though. I may not share the same opinion with you.

Here's a gif of Mr. Oh for yall.

At the beginning of the story, it was obviously fluff. I think my mistake was writing too much. Well, maybe it's not necessarily a mistake but I did notice how I put so many words for a chapter and most of them were just there anyway. Some fluff stories I've encountered were mostly easy-reads and by easy-read, I mean it didn't have blocks and blocks of paragraphs. If you noticed this too and was bothered by it in any way or found it unneccessary so you skipped a few sentences or more, I understand. I guess it was from writing an angst story with so much description for so long and then suddenly jumping to fluff which didn't need too much.

Another thing I noticed, Jongin and Haerin's first meeting had more impact to me than Sehun. I thought the way Haerin encountered Sehun was so cliche; the whole cold, professional dude belittling the determined OC. This was typical. I've read books that had their characters meet up in some sort of bitter way and eventually ended up with each other. I'm not saying I hate it though. I'm just saying Jongin had more impact. I could be having major second-lead syndrome and you might have it too (or not).

Obviously, I was excited to write Sehun x OC moments and for their story to escalate so I did that time skip in the chapter Goodnight, Mr. Oh. It was literally after Breakfast with Mr. Oh where Haerin just signed the contract. I felt like I should've written more scenes with Sehun being difficult towards Haerin, it would've helped the chapter What Happened? have more impact.

Okay, this part is what had me laughing; Sehun's POV. Fact is, I didn't want to write anything in his POV yet. The original plan was to write it all in Haerin's POV and then have another story up with Sehun's POV but I don't know. When I was writing the chapter, I couldn't stop thinking about what Sehun's thoughts would be after losing Haerin. But I think that had positive feedback. You were all thinking he was just some heartless but he truly had a soft side for Haerin. Haha

Again, I rushed the next part. Here's the original sequence of the story: After Haerin decided to resign, Joonmyeon convinced her to stay and be re-assigned to Jongin instead and this way, Sehun would see how much of a loss Haerin was. But I didn't pursue this because I rushed the first part wherein Haerin got sick because she was working too hard. There wasn't much build up for Haerin's hard work so I didn't use it and went with the way I did instead.

The next few chapters were alright, I guess. Now, my next concern is, a part of me debated whether or not Sehun felt something for Haerin too soon. Like he was obviously crushing on her when they had lunch together although it appeared as though he was just jealous that the other bosses were closer to her than him. But I think the fact that it was obvious but wasn't acting up on it made the readers frustrated and that's good on my part as a writer. Kkkkk.

THERE WAS ACTUALLY SOMETHING I FAILED TO INCLUDE. Alright, so upon reading the next few chapters remember how Haerin and her brother, Jaejoong, were supposed to meet in Jeju for a small family vacation? That never happened, right? Haerin told Sehun that they had to move it because something came up with work. Truth is, Sehun was supposed to fly Haerin's parents and Jaejoong as well in Jeju to continue their family vacation while they work on the VCR/Ad that Yellowstone wanted them to do. BUT, because for some reason I went with New Zealand (thanks to Taeyeon's I setting) of course in reality why would you fly your intern's family to an overseas country, right? Anyway, the family vacation never happened. I'm sorry TT

here's another Mr. Oh and his ing lip bite for yall too

NEXT! Okay, I think this was my favorite chapter/scene to write. The chapter Heaven Is A Place On Earth was in Sehun's POV and it showed there how he knew about the rude notes for Haerin and take note: it wasn't his first time getting rid of them. I think this was one of the few reasons why having his POV wasn't so bad, because readers get to see this side of him; the manly protector that he is. Lol.

CATHERINE IS SO UNPLANNED. Like I didn't even want a troubling ex. I don't remember why I brought her up. Original conflict was just Sehun being too scared to risk it with Haerin. I guess I looked for more reasons for him to be scared and thought a typical y ex would be the solution. She's honestly such a bad idea. Because she was unplanned, of course anything that involved her was not planned carefully, too. Especially the mother. Oh my god. She wasn't even supposed to be in the story. What the hell. I'm trying to remember what triggered me to put two es all at once.

can you deal??? noPE

The original conflict was that because Sehun was scared to feel something. Because
