Description

He might kill her.

She might let him.

Foreword

Kang Areum makes her living from death. As a TV crime reporter, she’ll go to any length to get the latest news.

But when the twisted serial killer, Kim Seokjin, starts using her to gain the publicity he craves, Areum must decide how far she’s willing to go - and how close she’ll let him get.

Chapter 7: You’re so GOOD. What the hell? How are you so good? You’ve managed to give us a peek inside the mind of a psychopath, and as expected it wasn’t pretty. No mental illness is. Good Lord how I’ve missed your writing

Chapter 7: I think I picked up on the title and Seokjin. “Ordinary” while Seokjin is just anything but that lmao, a juxtaposition like him!

Love love love this chapter, because this is the gritty direction I see this story going towards. Seokjin is no romantic figure because he’s mentally unstable, and right now he’s spiralling down the rabbit hole thinking Areum is somehow calling him into his life.

Okay if you hadn’t explained the heart but I would have been lost, because I was stumped at the “alien” bit, but that’s just because I’m dumb lol. I love this and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!

Chapter 7: I like her relationship with Taehyung it’s a funny one, I like knowing what’s on Jin’s Mind and how is he thinking And lastly I like that Jungkook is involved in this story cause he is my bias <3

Chapter 7: I love everything about this chapter. I love the way you described the cigarette (idk lmao it was just so easy to picture this), the furniture being a dead giveaway that he hails from an incredibly wealthy family, the way you make it seem how Seokjin almost hallucinated the transplanted heart coming out of his body and omg yes this such a rare fix and I’m living for it.

Seokjin is honestly such a juxtaposition! If you think about it, he’s doing all the things that speed up the race towards death, but at the same time he really doesn’t want to die. He’s living on borrowed time, and he knows this, and I’m wondering if it’s this knowledge that has an influence into why he’s killing all these people. He doesn’t care if he gets caught because he’s going to die anyway!

Okay I’m going out on a limb here with my extra af comments lmao, but honestly, I’m so happy you’re back. This fic is unconventional and a 180 degree turn from your previous works as Serendipity, and I’m living for this.

Chapter 7: Jin is so interesting, holy . So his dad was an . At least that's what I picked up on. His mom, not so much and they all obviously came from money. And the babysitter bit...either Seokjin was a babysitter and did something or he had a babysitter that did something. Oof. Ohmygosh, this chapter has my mind going too fast for my liking. I literally just woke up like a few minutes ago and my mind is still groggy as hell xD Was a babysitter the reason his parents died and Seokjin had to get a heart transplant? Or was his heart transplant because of a birth defect or illness? Anyways, you already know that I ing loved this chapter like YAAAAS!!!!
