At the beginning, was Our Winter, Our Spring: my first short story with an unnamed OC as the primary character, though it's told from the perspective of Jongin. It was out of burst of emotion one midnight that I finished and published within 4 hours, I think. A story that dealt with heartache and experimented with subtlety. I decided to stick with letting the nameless OC remain as such, hoping that her experience was that would come out as the reader's. I wanted it to feel real, despite it being fictional. And as it was back then, I wanted the reader to decide what step the characters would take and vision would they like to accept. It started in Winter and just at the beginning of Spring. How would you start the beginning of your spring?

A second attempt to another story and dealt with the "transitioning" was Forever Young: starring Jongdae and another OC with no romance in this whatsoever. It's on a winter afternoon again. And it begins again in a cafe. And compared to the first which heavily focused on what would be considered to be the past, this time I wrote in the perspective of who I really intended to be the main character: Jongdae. There's no transition of seasons here. It still ends in Winter but within those few hours it supposedly goes, it ends with Jongdae ready to face the challenge of moving forward. Again, open-ended. 

And here we are with the third story. And I decided to tie the other two to it. Our nameless OC in the first story is now named. But as always, it deals with similar themes as the other two. Hopefully it won't be another open-ended story. We'll see.

Two-shot or three-shot. :)

These stories are inspired by true events...that happened to me, to those around me. 

And maybe a lot of us.
