Untangling the Connections

Description

Of everything that could and had ever happen in Joohyun's already unpleasantly angst life, having a best friend who understood her without the need to speak her mind was all she needed, all she ever wanted. That friendship is precariously pushed to its very edge however, when an unwanted figure in the body of a vexatious teenage of male descent, in other words, Byun Baekhyun, forces his way into her life, twisting it in all ways imaginable.

 

This was only the beginning however, as another figure of relation has already began his plotting against the Kim's household behind everyone's back, plastering a façade of a sincere father and fooling all those around him. His manipulative powers and corrupted connections were able to hide a perfectly shaped crime - the sudden and mysterious death of Joohyun's mother. What they did not know was the fact that this assassination was connected to all of them… especially when that man was determined to ensure everyone - including his own Joohyun, to give back the power originally belonging to him.

 

Being caught up in such a cleverly constructed trap, Joohyun was sure to fall victim as the one in line of direct impact from those around her.

 

The say keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Foreword

"The more I untangle, the messier it gets..." - Kim Joohyun

A/N: Annyeong! I'm starting fresh with this new story so I hope you'll enjoy this one. I left my previous work(s) on AFF for a very long time (I know, forgive me) and quite a few I had not even done more than a foreword (sorry) but I couldn't take them off because I want to remind myself that I have to get around to writing it when I have a solid plot (and not constantly changing it). I'm taking a step forward and putting dedication to this fan-fiction so please bear with me and I hope you'll enjoy it.

=)) Your story is so descriptive. To start off with, I have a very good impression with Joohyun's personality. I think you did an excellent job when it comes to elaborate her emotions. Can't wait for the next chapter >"<

Chapter 3: Wow!this is actually really good.It seems like the two siblings care for each other a lot.I literally imagined Kai being such a dork when I read this,lol.Even though i actually more inclined to angst story,but i can say this story is great.Quite well-developed,not too fast and not too slow...
So,Cindy,you're doing great and keep it up girl! :)

Chapter 3: Really good update ^^ I don't really mind if the chapter's short or long, if it's an update, i'm fine with pretty much anything :p
The content is good though, pretty organized to me, and it's not really, confusing to the eye.
I personally like cliff hangers, but sometimes I don't but it's not a bad kind of "don't", it's just a kind of "don't" that like gets me pumped up and such ^^
But I can't wait what would happen next!!! I hope Joohyun and Jongin will be okay :)

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 is really cool! I like it! The fact that Joohyun hates tomatoes and Jongin hates bananas, just somehow, creates a sense of humour for me while reading. And at first, I actually thought that Joohyun and her brother will get away with it, or even Baekhyun taking revenge, and confronting Joohyun, but who knows. Again, the feelings of anxieties and seriousness is so realistic, it makes me imagine what's happening- so relatable! I can't wait for next chapter, wonder what will happen to the two and perhaps how this will connect to other complications.

Chapter 2: I'm pretty sure Baekhyun is the arrogant cute nerd in class that Joohyun just hates, like as she hates school :p
But while she was walking home, the narration got to me. I believe she's not living a good life, her mother gets beaten by a man (assuming father or step-father?) and an annoying brother. I feel bad, I do.

Um...before knowing that it was Kai, I literally thought it was an OC or a idol that wasn't from EXO but don't know who xDDD
Great update, simple, but I'm sure things will start to unravel itself later ^^

Chapter 2: The relation between Joohyun's mixed feelings and the seasons along with their different characteristics is well-written and described. I like the fact that her life is referred to as a 'cycle with no pause'. And I can feel that your quote is becoming real when you said,' It was a tangled cycle - something she has always wanted to untangle but every attempt becomes a messier knot.'Good job! Very realistic personalities. Already have I share different impressions with different characters. (The sister and brother seem to be very close, despite how annoying he is at times, there is happiness when she sees him). I still want to know more about their mother. Joohyun seemed very serious when her mother was mentioned.
