With HUN’s much anticipated announcement of a sequel to his previous best-selling title, fans expressed their excitement by trending the author’s name on every social media platforms available. The first hour since the news came out, his management company received endless love calls from news outlets to score an exclusive interview with the popular author. Though it was always rare for him to accept these special appearances.

 

HUN was a pen name that Oh Sehun used for his first novel, but it somehow stuck with him over the years. At 27, he became one of the youngest novelists to outsold multiple established authors during their prime years. His captivating, yet twisted genre is extremely popular among young adults. The way he portrayed his protagonists made readers curious at how Sehun was able to come up with their vial characteristics. It almost felt too real each time.

 

“Mr. Oh, I’m here to pick up the transcripts…” his editor announced quietly, not wanting to disrupt the author's writing process. The exhausted writer massaged the lids of his tired eyes from the lack of sleep. Her interruption made him even more irritated since he was stuck at a particular scene for the last hour. 

 

Sehun finally looked up at the editor before him. A new one, he noted. This was probably his fourth or fifth editor of the year since most of them tend to opt out due to ‘personal reasons’. Though he knew of those ‘reasons’ quiet well. You see, Oh Sehun was very particular when it came down to the people working with him. As a writer, he needed to be inspired constantly, even in his daily routines. An odd request of his was to hire staff members who closely resemble the characters in his current book. The editor in front of him, just happened to share similar features to the newest victim of a murder scene that he was writing for his new book. 

 

“Naeun,” Sehun called out to her, which was the name of a character in his book. The editor clenched her fist tightly, her feet retreating as he got up from his chair. She had heard rumors about him from his previous employees before taking on the well-paid job. Stay cautious, they would advise her each time, but was it enough to handle his strange behaviors. 

 

“What would Noah do to you…” he hummed, indicating the main protagonist in his story. Noah is a serial killer in his latest work, Nightmare— the story about a ruthless killer who would murder his victims based on his nightmares. 

 

Sehun cornered the girl against the wall of his study, scanning her closely to gather details for his murder scene. Her pale complexion and red lipstick were some of the main features that reflected Naeun impeccably. The writer brought his hand up to her chin, smudging the edge of her lips gently. The way her lipstick strained his fin

Chapter 5: HOLY. . YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES!!!!!!!!! HOLY I WILL GIVE YOU A THOUSAND KISSES IF I ING COULD - HOLY YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! godddddd YES I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! this reminds me of my favourite webtoon ever (bastard) in which basically the male protagonist’s father is a psycho-murderer, and has been since he was a young kid - I really love how it explores the psychology of the male protagonist, specifically how he’s obviously AGAINST what his father does but it’s also all he’s ever known and there’s a massive conflict between being a good v bad person - AND WHEN U WROTE THAT THERE WAS AN INSIDIOUS PART OF HIM THAT ENJOYED WHAT HE HAD BEEN DOING TO HIS MOTHER JUST UGHHH THAT WAS SOOOO GOOD???? And the portray of haemi as his last flicker of hope in being a good person??? YES?????? I’m so hyped for this omgggg I cannot my mind is blown bc I really really really enjoy psychological thrillers and the fact that you’ve written a complex sehun just makes me want to scream out of happiness holy I AM READY FOR THE ANGST AND THE TORTURE MY HEART IS OPEENNNNNNNNN

Chapter 4: .........sehun bro u reckon you’re the one losing it??? YOU??? WHAT ABOUT MEEE??? words... WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN....... MANNNN this chapter only reminds me of how much the exlovers au is soooo underrated? there’s something so freaking romantic about how well they know each other (his mental estimation of 4-5 shots and when she’s screaming his old pet name) it’s aksjdldkls i really really really love your portrayal of their relationship here 😭 and I LOVE MORE THE FINAL SENTENCE OF THIS CHAPTER — i love that he’s resisting it, that he sees her hold on him as some sort of weakness because there’s so much characterisation in that omg???? i love his personality so much here 😭 i really really can’t wait to learn about their divorce/marriage + i love that this plot also centres around sehun’s murderer father like PLEASE the tension is insane??? perhaps his father/mother were a central reason of their divorce??? I JUST CANT WAIT TO FIND OUT!! I love your writing so much! i notice that this story is only 45K and I was somewhat confused because I couldn’t even imagine a story w this plot being written in so few words but??? holy ??? you really really know how to pace things and every detail that we need is all there?? GODDD YOURE AMAZING IT BOGGLES MY MIND ❤️❤️❤️
