Lifeguard AU, I suppose

Description

Four fanfic writers. One prompt. Who wrote what wrote? You decide!

Negiramen, Fleurdesaison, Shuensha, and FeminaBeata team up and tackle the following prompt: "A checks B out on the beach. One of them is the lifeguard." Who is checking out whom? Who is the lifeguard? Why are there only 4 authors but 5 stories? Subscribe and read to find out! We guarantee great woogyu fics and a great time!

Foreword

Hello, everyone, this FeminaBeata! I wasn't the orginator of this challenge. That credit goes to Negiramen and Shuensha. I just decided to join in on the fun along with Fleurdesaison. I am not very good with introductions, but Shuensha wrote a lovely one for us on AO3 (please check that out too HERE and leave a kudo!):

"Hello there, survivors of the great inspirit fanfiction famine. It is I again, Madalina (Shuensha) talking because I am apparently the AO3 technical engineer of these challenges. So like I promised (last year) there is a new challenge for this collection, and this time onion noodle soup and I are also joined by Dr Kate, author extraordinaire & dadgyu enthusiast, and queen of kilometrical slow builds (and myungyeol, but she's a notorious cheater as this is obviously a woogyu challenge), fleurdesaison. This challenge will have 5 stories because some of us just have a lot to give to this community (thank you, we need it) and they will be posted weekly to give you some time to speculate who is the author. The conditions of the challenge were a) a lifeguard (or more??) b) some checking out is happening, but it appears that those won't be the only prompts these stories will have in common (some things just happen). Enjoy and comment with your guesses and speculations! If your theory changes by the end you can always update it in the next chapters, hint hint."

This AFF version of the challenge will have something that the other does not: A POLL! That's right! A poll at the end of every chapter! Vote for who you think the author is! We're looking forward to seeing your guesses!

All of the authors should be publishing their own book with their talent by now. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Chapter 5: It made me swoon and wish that there was a continuation to this. It was just so good, plus I could totally relate to it, cause that's a really pretty backside view to look at, You go get that Sunggyu!

Chapter 3: "Major character death" I though meant he was going to die without his lover knowing, but I felt like woohyun deserves this kind of dying from sunggyu who he loves in the end instead of suicide or murder from loan sharks. Idk if that's just me but I think this major character death was worth it, I didnt want woohyun to suffer anymore than he was but wish there was also a better ending!! Theres one way I guess to decide who actually writes which story: I practically read lots of negiramens and feminabeata stories a lot, so I've gotten used to the writing a bit if I say so myself. I look at the wording or form of the sentence and think if its familiar with the authors stories, then I also think about I guess the vocabulary and where the plot lines are placed also. Idk of that made any sense but that's how I do it for myself.

Chapter 4: OMG. I was filled with dread from the moment I read the word "gone" coming out of woohyun's mouth or even the sentence before that when you mention "his once toned back" which I believed was an honest mistake for a few unappreciated minutes, but then it was all over and no matter how much I wanted to deny it, or deceive myself that there was still hope for it to be a dream or something else, anything... It just didn't feel right anymore. All in all it was a sad but beautiful experience reading this one. You did such a great job at portraying their emotions, we couldn't help but feel it just as intense.
Next one is the last one? We're already there!? I really hope this challange continues to live on even after this.

Chapter 4: deny your feelings to the finest. who would want to admit a painful truth at the tips of one's fingers?
oh, man.
what a crazy static warning. and the pent-up anger of the ghost who found solace in his own outcome?
gyu......this will be hard to swallow.
