Paper trail

Description

For post-pandemic health reporters Joohyun and Seungwan, it’s always been a race about who gets to break the story first. Until one of them decides she’s had enough. 

Foreword

Didn't know soon became two years 😭 but yes I revised it. Divided into two chapters. 
 

Hi! 

This was inspired by @tinytushy's prompt.

Some of the events in the story were loosely based on real-life dialogues. I will elaborate more at the end of this story. (See it as a coming-of-age slash romance one-shot.) But for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Could've done better imo but I hope I was able to convey the emotions I wanted to project properly in this story.

So far i'm proofreading again, and I could be able to publish the remastered version by the end of the month. I just feel that the last part of the story needs more work. :)

Chapter 3: I love everything about this fic. It's unique and i haven't seen anything that has the same theme (journalism) as yours. It's unfair how a job requires so much, only to get paid too little. Sometimes, i wonder how some people stay afloat with their salary. In the country where i came from you need to have a college degree in order to work in the grocery store. It shocked me when i first find out about it and thought that it was a prank since it went viral on social media in my country. It kinda led me to think of those who isn't fortunate enough to finish school due to the lack of money, like how are they going to find a job if the requirements in our country is damn high. Speaking of journalism, in our country, politicians do have a troll farm masks as a PR firm and it saddens me because misinformation is very rampant in our country and people believed their lies. If you're a journalist here and you constantly opposes the government they'll either have the police knocking on your door or they'll threaten you and your loved ones or they'll just directly k-worded you and plant false information like you're a drug addict or you s-worded yourself.

Chapter 2: The facts that authornim is a journalist explain a lot.
Like it's not story telling story, more like a report-like(?) And I meant that in a good way. Usually, to tell about background story, a lot of author in AFF need at least 10k words, and while I don't hate it, some story felt like dragging. But authornim managed to do that in less than 6k, it was neat and easy to understand. I hope for a sequel but if you don't, it still an enjoyable story 😊
