Chasing Pavements
Description
It's funny...growing up, everyone told me I could get anything I wanted in this life if I tried my best and worked hard enough. For the longest time, I believed and have been living proof of that. So I'd like you to tell me - despite everything I do...why I can't ever have you? An AU where Jane is a world-renowned photographer who finds inspiration in the beautiful hapa, Nancy Jewel McDonie...who just so happens to be her best friend-Yeonwoo's girlfriend. Jane-centric. Angst.
Foreword
I was just throwing a random plot bunny over on Twitter about a Jane/Nancy/Yeonwoo love triangle, where Jane's affections go unnoticed and unreciprocated. I unexpectedly received a lot of positive feedback regarding the matter. I initially couldn't commit to the idea. TBH, I wanted someone else to write it so bad...but I haven't had any takers ㅠ.ㅠ I was planning to just revisit the idea in a couple of month's time, but the plot was just sort of growing in my head, so I ended up typing away earlier today, and here we are.
Also for the sake of the story, they're all Korean-Americans (Americans of Korean descent) and are based in the US. I've had to make these adjustments because some real-life constraints would just make the story way less realistic if I had set it in South Korea (because let's be real here, we all know S. Korea isn't one of the most progressive countries in terms of the LGBTQ+ acceptance and/or support...yet). It's really not too obvious, but in case you do squint and notice the references, I hope it doesn't bother you guys too much. I also really do hope you will give this story the same kind of support you've given my previous work. Thank you again so much for the love you've all sent my way! 8-8
