Synopsis:

Set during the time of the Korean war, Kibum is an intelectual, moreover a poet at university who has yet to enlist to the military. Due to the political situation after almost two years of conflict, every male from 18 to 40 has to join the military immediatly - Kibum being one of them. He has this heroic illusion of war which is fueled by the stories and writing he has read durring his literature studies. But this illusion is destroyed when he is sent to the front.

Jonghyun has been a soldier for the Korean military for over two years, figthing for the freedom of their country. He comes from a poor family, and joining the army had been his highest chance of surviving the war without starving.

The two meet in the same division, Kibum taking over the sleeping spot of Jonghyun's passed collegue.

After seeing the horror on the battlefield which is not the heroic image he had gotten from the books, but a bloodbath, Kibum has a hard time to cope, holding onto Jonghyun who pretends to be alright but is bothered by it just as much as Kibum is.

The older feels like he has to protect the younger from the pychological burden that he was already carrying, wishing that no one else would need to go through what he had experienced in the last two years.

 

 

A/N

This story would need much more research than the others, but I am more than willing to sit down and get as much knowledge about the Korean war as possible. So, this one would also be some sort of history lesson I guess hahahah

I am still unsure if I should add a love story in this since I feel like it would work better with them having this deep companionship- friendship- brotherhood- kind of relationship. So give me your opinion in the poll below or in the comments!

Chapter 4: I mean like
With the FEELINGS BEING THERE
But being expressed mostly through small kisses, each other's comforting presence after a slaughter, crying together, opening up to the other and holding their bodies during the night sjfjejdjejsi but not in the cheesy way bc?? Nobody would be INVOLVED IN A SUGARLY RELATIONSHIP DURING THE WAR


A companionship filled with ACTUAL love that is obviosuly shown in a rather diverse way

Chapter 4: This is perfect for jongkey

You could include the romantic relationship but obviously keeping in mind the situation where it's developing. Surely an amazing plot which might perfectly hold some affection♡

Chapter 3: I LIKE the single father AU, i'm curious to know how you'll build taemin's character. I mean, it's pretty easy to imagine how jonghyun or minho would be like as fathers, but taemin hardly gives out a mature or fatherly vibe(AND WHEN HE'S WITH CHILDREN HE'S SO CUTE ) , so i'm really looking forward to reading this!

As for the pairing, i think jonghyun fits both the boss and the neighbor role, but YOU KNOW THE CRUSH AND SECRETLY IN LOVE THING DEFINITELY BELONG TO JJONG.
I'd rather have it 2min, MAYBE NOT TO LET JJONG ALOne YOU COULD DROP A RANDOM KIBUM ;-)))

Chapter 2: Maybe sometimes minho could catch a glimpse of taemin's actual appearance, BUT LIKE FROM THE BACK AnD STUFF LIKE THAT


And keeping his looks secret could lead to 1. A super cute scene where minho finally sees taemin's real face and FINDS OUT HOW BEAUTIFuL HE is ,,,, AND HDEHSJS CUTE STUFF FROM THAT,, LIKE MINHO LETTING HIS HEART FALL FOR TAEMIN NOW THAT HE KNOWS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE AND,,,,, AND,,,, HIS STUNNING BEAUTY JUST MAKES IT P O P YOU KNOW

I'M A hoe for fluff but i'm also a HOE for--> 2. Angst. THEY BECOME SOMETHING CLOSE TO A COUPLE AND THEY GET REALLY *♡♡♡* ON THE EMOTIONAL LEVEL ,,, IMAGINE HOW ANGSTY AND TENSE--> A SCENE WHERE MINHO B E G S TAEMIN TO SHOW HIM HIS REAL BODY ,,, LIKE BOTH ANGRY AND SAD AND CRYING AND SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS ANS THEN FALLING OM HIS KNEEES
Idk

Chapter 3: Ok including Onkey is a big yes. I’m a bit... stressed about Jonghyun being in the love triangle. I obviously won’t tell you what to do bc it’s not my place but I’m not ready for that personally >< Taem being a dad sounds super cute though!!! I seriously can’t with mpreg though... it’s one of the things that are too absurd for me. Minho being the university student next door sounds so cuuuuute.... him being the boss would be a bit cliché but it would work. but I know you prefer writing a different type of minho? I think as a boss he’d be wuite dominant but tbh that would be interesting reading from you for a change too ;) sry lots of random thoughts.

Chapter 2: All 3 stories sound great! A Jongkey Korean War story sounds cool!
as far as the 2min stories, the shape shifting story sounds quite intriguing and I don't think I've seen this story line written before, so it sounds quite unique (plus, badass Taemin and family man Minho with cute little siblings!).
I think the 2min-jongtae love triangle story sounds cute if only to see Taemin with cute twins, a younger Minho(student, young, cute!!) and tough boss Jonghyun who's secretly a softie, yes! I obviously would choose the story to go 2min(bias, what can I say), but I'm sure all their interactions would be great to read.
