Spoilers ahead. Don't read if you haven't finished the story yet.

 

I hope you’re still okay after reading this 😭
Because I wasn’t when I was writing this 😭

I admit there were parts where I needed to stop since I was crying myself because it was too heavy! But I decided to push through with it since I wanted to explore if I can take on writing this kind of story.

I wanted something that is the polar opposite of ‘With Bated Breath’. Something with a shorter and simpler plot, but still with an unexpected twist. It got overly dramatic yet again, I’m really sorry! I’m sorry Sehunnie I promise this will be my saddest fic about you.

Originally, this was supposed to be a slice of life type of fic, with OC ruining her relationships with her family and friends because of her ambition to be a senior screenwriter. Her boyfriend then should have been a popular actor or model, with her using his connections to be on top. Her amnesia was supposed to help her reconnect with the people around her, and with Sehun’s character, still as her ex-husband helping her do so (but all healthy, of course, huhuhu).

But that would entail more characters, and I wanted this one to have less than 10 to keep it simpler. Maybe a plot for a longer fic? Let’s see.

The entire fic is inspired by and purely driven by EXO’s Universe. The coffee, the sadness, and message of the song. Similar to ‘With Bated Breath’, that song mostly played the entire time

Chapter 1: I felt something strange when Jongin came to the hospital. I just thought that he used this unfortunate event for his own sake and claimed himself as her boyfriend while she might already have one.

Apparently, my predictions were completely off the mark (lmao). To be honest, I have a hard time thinking about how I should comment to avoid all the spoilers that I might accidentally spill. It turned out that I found none. I'd say that each scene grabbed me like a twisted donut.

It is indeed a beautiful love story.

Chapter 1: Losing memories – this gives us mystery and hooks us to find out more about the story.

I knew something was up with Jongin! Hahaha. But the info about the husband did surprise me. I was thinking of a ‘boyfriend’. I did doubt if Jongin is a good person and felt very guilty in the end XD

The scene with the pen – loved it!!!

How you mentioned the title was good! It felt perfect in that scene. And when I finally came to the revelation part: “THIS IS FREAKING ANGST, NOT MILD ANGST.” The situation was very frustrating and I felt so sad for all the characters. And omigosh, POOR JONGIN! T-T

Overall, I like the concept of the story and how it tells us about unconditional and sacrificial love. All three leads sacrificed a lot. T-T Albeit, in my opinion, this story has a happy ending.

Also, I understand how you felt restricted (bec of the wc limit) but I know you did your best. <3 Thank you so much for joining the contest!
