The Red Knot.

Description

"Ever since I could remember, I’ve seen the threads. It’s not really something I can talk about with others, but I see them wherever I go.

Legends say that we are born with a red thread tied around our pinkie fingers. Each end is connected to one half of fated souls...or soul mates. The string can stretch and tangle but it will never break. I’ve seen them stretch across oceans and skies. The thread does not care about what is convenient for the lovers, it simply follows destiny.
"

Yee/Lee Nami is your average college student struggling to pass Physics and trying even harder to find her one true love. Oh, I forgot the mention that she can see the red threads of fate. She gets a bit tangled from time to time, but she's always been on the look out for her other half. What is she to do when she finds that he and two of his friends have created a huge knot in their threads? What's worse is that she still can't tell which one he is.

Is he YongGuk? the boy helping her pass Physics.
HimChan? the playful boy trying too swoon her.
Or is it Zelo? the boy she swore she wouldn't date because of age differences...but still, he declares his undying love.

Nami has to figure things out before people around her get hurt and try keeping her secret under wraps.

Foreword

Disclaimer: The Red Thread of Fate is a Chinese/Japanese folklore that one person is bounded--by a single red thread--to their soul mate. The threads may tangle and stretch, but never break. If you would like to read more about it, please Google it. ^^ it's a beautiful folklore.

 

I'm trying my best to keep this story as mobile device friendly as possible. If you are reading this from your phone and you find something concerning or just annoying, send me a message and I'll be sure to try and fix it ^^

 

Please enjoy! ...and leave a comment if you would like (that would actually make me very happy, but there is no need).

Chapter 1: Heheh, she is half Japanese. Today I've met two stories, including yours, who involved Japanese (^-^)
Is this CRASH era? I didn't see the date of this story created. It's fun to have this kind of gift X]

Chapter 33: Again, I like the dialogue alot. It rings true to me how you can bicker with someone you've known a long time without even knowing the reason.

Chapter 32: It's a big, complicated family now! And trust Daehyun and Youngjae to be troublemakers. My favourite part of this is that you've kept Nami's character the same. She still wants to help people and spread love, even when she's in her own happy ending.

Chapter 31: *sobs* I'm glad they've found their way back in this ending chapter. Himchan and Yumi have both pulled other people into their mess but what shows you are a great author is that you've managed to weave clues on the reasons for their behaviour through the story that helps keep the reader rooting for them. They could've come across as unsympathetic characters given their actions so its really nice work that as a reader I'm happy for them at this point despite the collateral damage.

Chapter 29: It's nice to see a mix of playful, lightheartedness together with more sweet romance because I think otherwise it can seem to ring a bit untrue. To me I can picture the moments so well and it feels like I am watching a super cute made-for-each-other couple in real life and thinking "awww, I want that!"

Chapter 28: I like how here you convey little things about the characters' personalities by how they interact with different people even in small moments.

Side note: You can draw too?! *shields eyes for fear of being blinded by the shining light of your talents*

Chapter 27: Heh heh heh, I'm glad for a little light relief in this chapter. Zelo is always good for that!

Chapter 26: So, I saved reading the rest of this story until I knew I'd have time to re-read all the preceding chapters and savour the new ones (eh-em, a year later...). Coming back to this I loved it even more. I realised/remembered that you are so good at writing dialogue and there are so few stories I've read that keep such a great balance of character and plot development with good pacing that keeps the writer well-engaged. Also, re-reading from the beginning I picked up some nice foreshadowing as well. In this chapter I really felt along with Nami about Yukiko's actions. Selfless, yes, but with that "what were you thinking?!" moment too. I can only think despite her best efforts its not going to end well.
