Description

Chasing a wayward soccer ball, 19-year-old Sehun stumbles upon a young conwoman incarcerated in the county prison with a silver tongue and a black soul. Both captivated by her allure and disturbed by her tales of the nefarious affairs going on inside the prison, Sehun is forced to ask himself what he is willing to risk for a girl so strange and dangerous.
 

Foreword

Hello!

I found this dusty plot bunny at the bottom of my "random ideas" Google Doc, and now it won't leave me alone.

This is a bit angstier than what I usually write and will be written wholly from Sehun's perspective, both of which will be new experiences for me as a writer. I'm excited to explore!

Also, this is an entry in get2herheart's writing contest, Diamond Flower. Check it out here, and please give the contest and other entries lots of love!

Chapter 3: I am actually pretty contented by the ending. Though it did no good to my curiosity of what happened to Nari at the end... I loved it. Nari's character is full of mystery and the impact she had on Sehun even after he moved on with his life... Beautiful. Thank you for such a nice story ^^

Chapter 3: To me, this is a coming of age story, of heartbreak and growth after loss... through Sehun's interaction with Nari, he gets to know about a world that had, until then, existed far beyond his daily life. And through her, he finds about the ruthless and unjust world where nobody gets any redemption or second chances. I think his time at the prison marks his journey from boyhood to manhood... and that is why the creek holds such importance for him.

Nari is quite a unique character. Conwoman caught up in the midst of triad wars. Sehun's right, chances of her survival are low but she's smart. Maybe she did make it? I'm sure she too remembers Sehun, as the naive boy who helped her escape. I think she enjoyed his naivete and tried not to tarnish it too much, though ultimately it was unavoidable :)

It was a wonderful experience, reading it. Good job :)

Chapter 2: Sehun's confusion and the moral/ethical dilemma is conveyed very well.
