Some things you should know

Ideally, you're reading this fanfic because you watched the kdrama Answer Me 1997. If not, or if it has been a while since you've watched it, here is a quick run down:

The drama starts in 1997 and follows 6 high school friends until 2012. From left to right we have Moo Yoo Jung, Do Hak Chan, Yoon Yoon Jae, Sung Shi Won, Kang Joon Hee, and Bang Sung Jae.

Yoon Yoon Jae's parents died when he was younger. He spends a lot of time with Shi Won and her parents. He develops a crush on Sung Shi Won(who is loud, childish, and obsessed with H.O.T.) Shi Won eventually realizes she likes Yoon Yoon Jae.

Kang Joon Hee is Yoon Yoon Jae's best friend. He has a long time crush on Yoon Yoon Jae--a secret he has only told two people, Shi Won and Yoon Jae. Yoon Jae thought he was joking.

I'll be picking the story up in 2005, when the gang reunites for various reasons--Yoo Jung's father dies; Yoon Jae and Shi Won run into each other while getting coffee; Yoon Jae's (older) brother is getting surgery in the hospital Joon Hee is an intern at. Yoon Yoon Jae and Kang Joon Hee are roommates. Shi Won wants to be with Yoon Jae.

Our story starts during the end of episode 13 when Shi Won sits on "the chair of truth" on the hospital stairs and talks with Joon Hee. From there, some things will be the same as in the drama, but most things will be changed to give our boys a chance to be together.

I hope I can do justice to their story and that you enjoy it.

Chapter 15: I don't know why..but new career is better written than this. Don't get me wrong! I love this story (haven't watched the drama tho..too sad they didn't end up together ;-;) and it's so much better than most of the stuff here, but it seems like you put more love in writing new career^^ but I still loved this a lot~ when will you update the last chapter?

Chapter 15: Re A/N Yes, after reading New Career I can see how your other stories have been treated like the neighbors neighbor step-children.

Dong Il and Il Hwa when they went to have in the car and got caught. I was rolling. I was like car smex in a sedan is like one of the best places. Kyaa. I wonder if I should join the Single Friends Adventure club here? They go hiking, take trips to casinos, wall climb, horse back riding, take in shows, etc. You chose which events you want to participate in. Hmm, "I'm thinking; I'm thinking..." I've actually thought about this for the past three of years -about how long my gay husband has been going steady, grrr- cause all my local friends are married and the single ones live 7+ hours away.

I enjoyed this. To me you could potentially settle this in three chapters. No need to drag it out. It seems to have reached it's natural close to the end anyways.

Chapter 14: hahaha, yes, that is something Tae Woong would say. I'm glad that you went for that verse the alternative. Confusion and misunderstandings have their place but not all the time. Clue scenes from You're the Best Lee Soon Shin, Cheongdamdong Alice, and Bride of the Century. I was like all this misunderstanding drama is ruining my enjoyment of the kdrama. But like a glutton for punishment, I watched every episode.

Chapter 13: Re A/N it's tough being a writer. And Eun Ji's fangirling over H.O.T. was like one of the best things ever.

*I don't know why I kept calling her Eun Bi when it's Eun Ji* Though I loved Eun Bi in Flower Boy Ramen Shop. That was a good story. And I felt so bad for her about her missed opportunity with her Dad.

Chapter 12: See I knew 'Kisses' was important. Yoon jae and Joon Hee took on opposite roles of confidence. And that makes a huge difference. So readers should read 'Kisses' for the a deeper understanding into the psyche of the boys. Pfft, it's purely for ah, erh, literature understanding of the fic.

Chapter 11: *furiously blushing* author-nim? What do you mean that people could skip this chapter as it had nothing to do with the progression of the story? I found it gave me a tone of insight into the characters development. It was a must read. I'd be clueless if I just went to 'Aftermath'. Really. Boy-scout swear. 'Kisses' was integral.

Chapter 10: Seo Guk gets that dreamy look when he's being all manly compassionate and comforting. Pulling Hoya in his arms. And talk about two kinds of lips that are meant for kissing. yes sir-ree I love him as a love interest lead in dramas. Though I think that Eun Bi has been the only one that has matched him for vitality on screen. Korean women have to worry so much about their image and dating rumors that their acting suffers for it.

Chapter 9: Oh, Yoon Jae that's so aggressively cute. Go ahead and kiss him in front of everyone and let's hope that Joon Hee will be gentle with you.

Re A/N. Someone took back there upvote? Is that even possible? It shouldn't be allowed.

Chapter 8: And how difficult must it be for men to come to terms and allow themselves to love who they love? Not saying that it's easier for women but women tend to get a gentler pass. People keep on thinking they'll do a man to but right now their just in love with a woman--or that's how I tend to think people must be cause they get real hostile about gay men but women are just....Idk how to express it but do you understand what I'm saying? Like one of my minor in psych courses Human uality had a term for women in college LUG - Lesbian Until Graduation but there's no term for me. And the 60+ plus students in class all had this look like, "yah, that's understandable. DOn't want kids and not ready to date." And I was like, what? Is it an thing? Gosh I'm really feeling old since the whole twitter incident. I need to recall youthful and fun stories to share with you. I'm not bitter anymore but I'm close to going in the bathroom to in my stomach and count my wrinkles. Truly.
