thank u so much for reading and for this incredibly kind comment! i'm so glad you felt baited in so many different ways >:D i love how u worded this, "the moment she could say something to Seungcheol to keep her, is the moment she also realises that she's going to lose her," and your ability to observe and reframe mundane interactions so poetically is one of the things i rly admire about your writing! i'm taking notes bc i am still very much an inexperienced writer so it's cool and instructive to hear how other people reflect my writing back to me.

and yjh really is torturing herself with those last words. basically the only ones i have her say in the entire fic (lol this is also bc i can't write dialogue!!) but i wanted to show that the only condition under which she lets herself say something true is by acting flippant about it, "you are saying it is a joke even though you aren't joking" type beat...
