Holy shit, this is amazing. Thank you so much for writing this, it’s such a beautiful read. I love the imagery, the characterization, the food…i think my personal favourite thing is how you paced the scene and the gradual shifts of emotion within it. The sun emerging only to fall between them like a curtain. The simple comforts of the doenjang jjigae giving way to the orange + coffee with their sweet, sour, and bitter. The orange peeling and its steady build of tension, though still rooted in love and care. It may not be as dramatic as Letting Go, but there’s a sense of lingering in a dream + having to wake up that reminds me of both songs in the prompt. Thanks again for sharing this, it’s a really lovely piece <3
