Description

Growing up with a neglectful and drug addicted single mother, Jung SoMi's perception of love is skewed. 

While bouncing from orphanage to orphanage, SoMi was determined to make a life for herself. 

She enrolled into a local college and found a community where she belonged. 

She even found love. 

However the memories of her kidnapping still continue to haunt her. 

Especially that look in her Ahjussi's eyes.

She thought that she was finally happy for once. 

Until she saw him again

 

 

Foreword

This story is based off the 2010 film, Ahjussi or the english translation The Man From Nowhere.

Shoutout to foxiscully, because her Ahjussi sequel, Fireflies inspired me to write this.

Honestly speaking, I have no idea if I'll even see this story through but for now I need to get this idea out of my head, so here I am. Personally, I find even a 10 year pretty hard to wrap my head around but the chemistry between So Mi and Tae Sik is undeniable in some way. There is something there, so I'll be exploring that. This will be a love story between So Mi and Tae Sik, so readers I warned you beforehand.

I was so curious to how SoMi's traumatizing experience from the kidnapping, Ahjussi going to jail, and the death of her mother would ultimately impact her in the future as an adult. I can't believe that I didn't watch The Man From Nowhere sooner because it is a cinematic masterpiece where the violence actually has a purpose. 

This year I really wanted to challenge my own storytelling skills and develop a very complex female protagonist that is not represented in current media. With the combination of my experience volunteering at a crisis hotline and taking classes on Psychology, I came to understand why some individuals are the way that they are. I'll be exploring the impact of neglect on one's emotional development in adulthood through the character of Jung SoMi. 

To my subscribers, yes my forte is angst but I assure that I am working hard to differeniate all my characters and their conflicts throughout my multiple ongoing stories. Thank you for subscribing and sticking with me. You're the best! 

SoMi is 23 years old here and Tae Sik is 41 years old, so their age difference is 18 years. I hope you anticipate what is to come for this story! Thank you!

Chapter 20: This story is beautiful beyond words, truly masterpiece! Too sad I've found it three years after you've published it (it's because I didn't know the movie and saw The Man From Nowhere just few days ago, ahh shame ). Don't know if you'll read the comment but your story is my most favorite of all ! Wish it had more views, it surely deserves more recognition!
