Step by Step

Description

Wooyoung has always lived life in the fast lane. He graduated from university with a fine arts degree, quickly built his dream career in the centre of Seoul, and even dates a beautiful woman... His life is seemingly perfect, and he is perfectly content. Which is why it comes as a surprise to even him when he gets into an argument with his parents about a marriage he doesn't even want. Three years later, as a recent divorcee, Wooyoung wishes his parents had listened to him in the first place.

After he loses his job, Wooyoung finds himself in a slump because now everybody just sees him as that guy with no luck. All he wants to do is escape, so, he turns to the only option he has, and buys a plane ticket to the city where he hopes is the last place on Earth anyone will find him.

Nichkhun was attractive, Wooyoung knew that very well by now, but he had a certain appeal - an allure - that pulled people towards him when his passion shone through. Or perhaps, it was simply because Wooyoung had developed a very large crush on him in just a matter of days. Wooyoung didn’t know how it was possible to obtain a crush on somebody that quickly, but, it had happened. And, God, Wooyoung knew that was anything but a wise thing to do, because when he fell for somebody, he always fell for them hard and fast.

Foreword

What's this?! Me being active more than once in one week?!

Some of you might remember this classic (by which I mean terrible excuse for a story) which was my first attempt at a story on AFF. A few weeks ago I was taking a look at it again and I thought, I can't leave it at this, it needs to be fixed! ? So here we go, this is my attempt at a fix.

Don't worry, you don't have to have read the original to read this version, since it's a complete rewrite. You're more than welcome to read it if you wish, but this story will be changing the main plot considerably, adding new characters, length and additional side storylines to make it a much better read than the original! I have grown a lot as a writer since I wrote When In Paris, and I've been thinking about revisiting it for a long while. Really, it will be like an entirely new story once I'm done with it.

In no way will this be taking away from updating Escape to Paradise either, which is my main priority - I just thought it would be fun to revive an old project which is in dire need of a refresh. And I kind of feel like going back to my AFF roots as a fluffy rom-com writer hahahaha!

I hope this piques some interest, as I'm quite excited about this little project myself. So please subscribe and stay tuned for its release :))

Chapter 2: Not sure if we'll be getting details about Woo's previous marriage and career while the story progressing, but it seems he had a very hard time. Poor him :(
Marie is absolutely lovely! I'm loving her and her "old lady intuition"!

Chapter 2: "So what brought you to Paris Wooyoung?" Oh so funny, Wooyoung getting grilled by Nichkhun the boss at his interview on the most personal of questions, which he cannot evade. And Boss Nichkhun looked at him in a way that suggests he expects more details....?Hmmm ....hahahaha of course he expects more details from Woo, on a personal basis, The old eighty two year old friend of Nichkhun is so cute, assuming that Woo is Khuns new boyfriend. Glad that Woo is well taken care and gainfully employed in Paris, finally . I'm sure with Khun as his boss, he's in the best of hands....hahaha... and oh my favorite platonic couple WooU is back in this story too. Love this. Thanks for the update Hani! Really appreciate it. Now I'm looking forward to Escape From Paradise from you .....c?) T-----T...c?) Cheers!

Chapter 1: I loved it!! The first meeting/impression is always fun to read about.
You're doing incredibly well in describing the surroundings which makes it very easy for me to imagine and enjoy!
The hint of humor in the characters' thoughts is one of my absolute favorite things about your writing.
Thank you so much! Can't wait to read more. ❤️

Chapter 1: First and foremost, I have to tell you that it is so clear to me that you have really progressed so much as a writer. Was"When in Paris" your first fic? Anyway, I"m glad that you've decided to tell this remake from a 3rd party narrative. Don't get me wrong -- I loved "When in Paris" too and thoroughly enjoyed it but "Step by Step" is told "differently" and gives much more scope to development of the story (from a 3rd person narrative perspective) Can I tell you that I LOVE IT! nice idyllic start showing
Woo strolling the roads looking for a job and finding his footing in Paris. I love that you've become much more descriptive and reflective in your writing and it really brings readers "right into the minds of the character". I see a beautiful friendship blossoming between them. Don't worry about varying the story and bringing in additional characters. I will read whatever you write! Thanks for the effort ~:)
