Dear Mr. Oh,

 

       This is Kim Joonmyun from the Macmillan Publishers; we had come across each other the day you were tasked to visit the publishing house and we exchanged business cards, so I assume that this letter does not surprise you when it arrives.

 

       As a follower of your writings, I’ve noticed your shift to Arts Journalism, from Political Journalism. You had written about the controversial ‘Lolita’, instead of the usual Eisenhower. Of course, your shift to the Arts intrigues me, for obvious reasons; after all, I do work in a publishing house. With that said, would you be free to have lunch at the Milford Plaza Hotel, on the 15th?

 

Please do write back.


 

Sincerely,

Kim Joonmyun

This was a delightful read, really. I actually felt it was more Sehun centric than SeJun but I didn't mind one bit. You give a lot of description to the character and it reminded me of The Great Gatsby somehow.

One thing is that I didn't really catch the moment that Sehun fell in love with Junmyeon because there wasn't that much of the latter at the beginning of the story, but it's not a complaint. How do I explain this, and I mean it as a compliment... the style of writing, the approach to the character gave me some serious Fitzgerald vibes, and I love this type of prose. The character do what they want and follow their heart; even if the logic isn't what we are used to, it works for them and they don't question it. They go head straight into the happenings in the story and I just love it. Plus all the little details and descriptions are short but to the point.

Im super glad I decided to go through the SeHo tag which I don't do quite often sadly. Thank you for sharing the story.

Chapter 1: I love love your style of writing. The setting, the plot, the characters, all amazingly perfect however, it was really rushed. There were scenes that were rushed causing awkward pacing and I'm really not a big fan of the ending.
I hope you take in considerations to turn this into chaptered story and develop more between them.

Chapter 1: That was a very good read! It was my first time reading about the SeSo couple and let me just say that I surprisingly enjoyed it. I wasn't planning on reading this at first, but I clicked on it anyway mostly because I like the way you write and how you portray your characters (Don't get me started with your plots, i love every plot that you have worked on, especially the ones you've written for Twice). However I kind of cringed at VIII when Suho decided to confess that he liked Sehun back. There were still some doubts at the back of my mind unfortunately. I'm not sure, but I guess men are straightforward when it comes to confessing compared to women? Well, that's how I see it. Anyway, thank you for this and I hope to read more of your works. :)
