meme i love hanbyul and eric/hanbyul and i request, nay i demand fic.
i also loved 100% on after school club! changbum being forced to talk, chanyonce, hyukjin being a cutie every time he was on camera. only a few awkward spots but i enjoyed it.
omg anon the bullet points from word show up what is this sorcery?!?!?!?!?!? this is what i've come up with so far about their character roles
Gunwoo • Former troublemaker, only has high school education • Uncle is involved in a gang (family business) → gambling ring, massage salons that are money fronts o Worked for his uncle, wanted to branch out, uncle let him do his own thing and start up with a partner • Started his own gambling ring with a partner (some random original character), decent success, got money in da bank o Partner wants to expand business into prostitution and drugs (ie following model of uncle). But Gunwoo isn’t into prostitution → partner gets disgruntled and does some shady dealings on his own, gets into some shit, Gunwoo finds out, partner backstabs him • Motivations: revenge, putting down his former gang and partner, getting rid of the guys after him, rehabilitation, starting fresh • Quirks: keeps trying to quit smoking, people think he has a scary face, flips from nice to cold, loyal, likes to fight, bad with electronics, has a lot of doubts and questions about morals Insoo • Undercover police informant, floater who’s been working for Gunwoo’s uncle → friend of Gunwoo’s (Gunwoo is unaware) • Usually does odd jobs like cleaning up after messes, does bodyguard work • Trying to crack a case involving Gunwoo’s uncle for a crime he committed six years ago (money extortion and rapes in prostitution) o Wants to put him behind bars for life o Befriends Gunwoo to keep an eye on him, and is an easy in • Ends up liking Gunwoo as a friend • Motivations: get Gunwoo’s uncle, save innocents, get promoted, stop his undercover work • Quirks: helps get people out of the uncle’s dealings, good marksmen, uses exercise to release stress, gentle and friendly Chaejin • Former kidnapping victim → has extremely protective parents • Took police 3 months to locate him (through stroke of luck off DNA evidence and kidnapper being picked up for a minor crime) • Kidnapped when he was 6 (emotional trauma) → but wasn’t abused, kidnapper was just unstable and liked kids (he’s in jail) o Gone to a lot of therapy, still is somewhat screwed up in the head • Motivations: finally stop thinking about the past and move forward, ability to stop going to therapy, find some inner peace, finish high school • Quirks: cowardly, anxiety issues, bubbly loving personality, likes small animals Seyong • Martial artist → very into fighting and learning new techniques, won many competitions • After finishing high school, went to work for family restaurant business, not completely happy about it o Beats up all the drunk people who harass people on the street • Gunwoo’s junior in school, used to and still does look up to him because of his strong character and fighting skills • Not sure what he wants to do with his life because his parents want him to stop fighting and settle down to run the family business o He’s not sure he wants to do that • Motivations: get personal success, decide whether to go with parents wishes or be lured by the idea of joining the police force (even though he knows Gunwoo’s in a gang) • Quirks: loud and brash, kind even though he’s a trouble maker, flirt, insecure, can have problems controlling his temper, likes cute things
thanks for the questions i was actually thinking about a few of them earlier today when i was brainstorming. i think my thoughts can better be shown through this mind map i've started to make. i'm missing things still bc most of it's written down in a notebook and i feel silly typing it all up

anyway. i have decided the introduction and what will occur in the conclusion, and roughly what the climax is going to be. i'm shooting for only doing one pov for the story, gunwoo's, probably going to be third person limited subjective with this character only (even though i've outlined the life of everyone else too lol it just helps me understand them). i'm going for the they don't all know each other to begin with approach, but there's a thin web that connects them all and i have to connect the strings and wind them up into one. i'm still deciding where and when because i only have a rough idea from the into where i want to move forward. stuck on the planning stages.
lol i don't even know why i'm even spending so much time on this bc i'm most likely writing it only for myself. it's fun though! i haven't ever tried to write a dark story before even though i read quite a good number of stories with unfortunate characters.
wow, anon, i really like what you have so far? don't worry anon, i'm really looking forward to this. so you'll at least have a readership of one!
i really like that they don't all know each other at the start but the connections they do have seem very plausible. part of the image isn't showing so i cant tell how you decide to end it but the start of the plot looked good.
as for junq, i think making him a normal run of the mill kid would be good?
yeah my laptop screen isn't very big and i was just trying to take a screenshot of what i put together so far so the conclusion got cut off.
i'm just now starting to realize just how in depth this plot has to be /sobs. there are so many unfulfilled questions i need to answer. like how gunwoo gets this rag tag group of people together to take down his uncle with insoo - without getting them in too deep. i think there has to be some secondary roles. like chaejin obv won't be gunning people down with a cowardly personality trait.
i always forget their ages. i was thinking of making chaejin 16, and looking up korean equivalent school system that's like 10th grade, which would make junq in 12th grade/last yr in hs i think...oh lord. i like the idea of him being run of the mill. maybe like he's basically average in school performance but extremely good looking. i'm not sure what to do about his future...should i make him be trying to get into a college, or maybe go to a trade school bc he's not aiming for a seoul university. maybe he could be going to go to beauty school LOL idk or go into modeling
for the setting...i was thinking busan like what they had as the backdrop for their mv. i need to do some research into if what sort of houses people live in there (apartments vs houses vs condos or w/e they have there)
i didn't pick up on te supernatural part of it all until the end. and then it just felt very out of place. all of the characterizations seemed really ff to me.
i guess i was kind of hoping for a twist so i was anticipating it? but ia completely that it felt out of place. i thought tao was fine but everyone else....not so much.
posting fic is like the tip of the ice berg of anticipation, and then there's just the steady downhill slide into depression as you receive no comments
:( sometimes one comment is really all it takes tbh, i'm doing my best to stop being such a silent reader when i read fics because then i'm just a giant hypocrite about how i'd also like to hear reactions from potential readers
anon! i can't begin to explain how excited i am to read this when you're done! i have some thoughts for you based on your last comment that i'll type up after work
