Chapter 1: I really really like this. I love the use of metaphors here.

I like how you built up the setting for each of the four members' parts befitting of what they represent (SWFS). For Byul, the stars she sees are placed behind high-rise buildings and in the dark sky; and for Wheein you placed the wind among the hustle and bustle of the city, reflecting the insignificance of the wind (or more of like the wind as an afterthought rather than something people would notice when they're busy).

What I like is how when the members are insecure about themselves, the other members (or their girlfriends) are there to give them words of assurance and confidence. I could really feel just how low Wheein's self-esteem was from the words she said to Hyejin. Hyejin knows just the right words that Wheein needed to hear, and I think it's beautiful how she sees the wind in a more optimistic way as compared to how Wheein sees it; it really provided Wheein with an alternative perspective.

I think the metaphor you wrote for 'Flower' is beautifully written and explored, especially when it comes to Hyejin and standards of beauty. I didn't really have any particular thoughts on how the metaphor for her part would be, but this metaphor really reflects Hyejin's attitude of being her own person and being comfortable in her own skin. And I like how she recognises that 'she wouldn't have made it without her wind. Or her sun. And the star, even.' I like this line: 'Today, we'll have the natural scent of the flower, she decided.'

For Yongsun's part, I can really imagine this to be her actual train of thoughts in real life, especially with her being the leader and having to set an example to the rest of her members. She pushes herself too hard with the tiniest details.

I think another thing that I like is how despite you 'categorising' the four members into S/W/F/S, their individual parts ultimately cannot be separated from other members. What's interesting is that in Hyejin's part, her insecurity is not directly tackled by Wheein or the other two, but the three of them did play a part indirectly in making her more confident of herself. It's sad to see Byul seeing herself as insignificant as the moon and stars when it comes to her position in the group, but I'm glad that she broached the topic of her worries and concerns to Yongsun. Again, like how Hyejin used metaphors for Wheein, Yongsun's metaphors are beautifully phrased in a manner befitting the way Byul sees herself. It's cute though how Yongsun admits that she didn't think of anything for the wind!

Gotta love how Byul put together the SWFS metaphors in the alst line. That last sentence though... Frankly it's quite cheesy ahahaha but it goes in line with the entire story!

Thank you for this story!
