Circling Fireflies: First LoveFor those who are wondering, the song at the end is "Secret" from the Summer Scent OST. I was searching for a ballad from 2003 that captured the spirit of this important YunJae moment, and then I stumbled across this one. That it's from one of the classic Four Seasons Kdramas makes it even better. If you watch the video, I'll bet you can pinpoint the exact moment I knew I'd found my song.
It’s bittersweet being done with First Love. I’m going to miss writing about YunJae’s innocent pre-debut days. The next section will be darker and more dramatic and move a lot faster, but I'm looking forward to new writing challenges with those scenes. And, yes, we will finally have the ytimes you've all been asking about—and lots of them. I'd originally planned to end First Love with YunJae's first scene, but then it didn't seem right for this story about friendship becoming pure love. Or right for the situation they're in at their debut. This story definitely had a mind of its own sometimes and took me places I wasn’t expecting, but I’m happy with how it turned out. I hope you are, too.
Thank you all so much for sticking with my fireflies through their long journey. I hope to see you all for Part 2! ^^
