End of the Line

Description

Detective Wonsik is tired of his job, he's tired of the corruption in the police force, and tired of being shut up. How can he take crime off the streets when it was ripe and swollen inside his own department? It's enough to drive a man to drink. But the End of the Line bar houses more than just a lot of alcohol. Something's not right about the slightly sad singer Lee Hongbin or the mysterious bartender Jung Taekwoon. Just how much was Wonsik supposed to blind himself before he broke inside? And where is the line between what's just and what's right?

Warnings: alcohol abuse, ion, gambling, violence, criminal elements

Chapter 3: //CRASHES THROUGH YOUR WALL AND YELLS

Oh man this is just becoming more interesting every update hghhggg

I really like Wonshik's personality in this - the conflicting thoughts he has in approaching situations. Like, he knows he shouldn't poke his nose into Taekwoon and Hongbin's business - and he knows that's what he's expected to do but he still can't help himself. Kind of like someone who's trying not be too much of a goody two-shoes but can't really stop being one. Wonshik is just so soft ;;v;;

And SJWBKDJDOMG, the glimpse of Hongbin and Taekwoon's relationship!!! Their interactions omgggkshaks. I like how they interacted - the way they're kind of laidback and easy around each other hghghghhhfg I had emotions though around Hongbin's thoughts about them being broken and such. Like, they kind of have this 'us against the world' kind of vibe (idk the best way to describe it huhu ;;v;;)

But omg so much questions now zjabdow!!! So Hongbin is some kind of e??? Or did I get that wrong? And Taekwoon's the one setting up the clients? But there's more to this and I just---- ????????? And what exactly is the nature of the relationship between them? There's affection there but are they together? Do they have more intimate/romantic thing??? What is Wonshik exactly planning to do? What is Hongbin planning to do now he knew Wonshik is a cop? What's the Saturday thing? jsnahskwjd AMGGGGGG I need moreeeee

Chapter 2:
where do i start? omg ;;_____; I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ALREADY. i mean, i practically loved it from the very first sentence (so dark, so edgy. i took one look at that "hardboiled detectives" comment and instantly felt that noir edge. i read it all in a rugged tone like in the movies lol #trash) all the while reading it though i was listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdDhinO58ss and i thought it really fitting idk I JUST LOVE IT. ALL THIS.

first off the characters are so well written and beautiful and i love taekwoon so much ;;; quiet dreary boy with the sharp edges how lovely is HE. and wonsik, of course, he's just PERFECT for the detective role. i think you really got everyone down WONDERFULLY; hongbin the pretty boy, so sad but with a little fire in him (that part when he and taekwoon share a look and he backs down in the slightest way GUUUHH *clutches chest dramatically*) I was all hunched around my laptop like some animal just reading the heck out of this and falling SO FAST

you say you wanna write like me and i'm over here like ??____?? but you literally write so beautifully and i was so swept away and totally lost in this little world. and it's only 2 chapters so far too i mean i can't even imagine what the whole piece will be like and then being able to read it all together in the end IT JUST SOUNDS SO PROMISING your world building is so good i just can't really find words to say how MUCH i love this already ;;; i hope wonsik doesn't get himself into TOO much trouble (Though in my head that sounds really lovely heh //_///) i anticipate all your next installments bby!!! ♡♡♡♡♡

Chapter 2: I'm very intrigued (>o>) What are they hiding?!
I really like how you write w/ the descriptions & the setting! It's so very mysterious~ & I can totally picture Taekwoon as the silent bartender who keeps the peace & flower sad boy Hongbin & just done Wonsik haha

Chapter 2: //INTENSIFIES

And the tension thickens hghghg!!! I love the interaction between Hongbin and Wonshik in this! There's a kind of melancholic poetry in the way they communicated and I loved reading it! The way you weave words together are just so... daksgjkdlsagj!!! And, omg, when Taekwoon told Hongbin he didn't want him to go with Wonshik - I almost FLIPPED. My feels sagkalag!!! But that interaction as well - it makes me really want to know more about what kind of relationship Hongbin and Taekwoon have as well. They're so mysterious its so intriguing! Even the place is so intriguing!

I'm so excited with how this is gonna progress hgnhgn!!!
