Omg thank you so much for enjoying it! That makes me really happy actually, you have no idea. I'm glad to get any feedback at all, so thank you for your support!
Are you talking about how the friend group is mature? If that's the case, I sort of made YN's friends into the kind of friends I wish I had back when I was first starting the Au. I had actually lost a ton of my friends around the time I took a break and they were already not being the best people for me to be around anymore. After losing them, I thought of all the things our friendship could have been and how I should have handled certain situations with them. I really wanted to have a more mature relationship with them, where if we argue or have a disagreement, we would talk it out like the adults we were.
Haram is a friend that always wants the best for you but had a tendency to be a bit pushy just because she's worried for you, but she's still someone you can rely on to share secrets and gossip to like school girls. She's the type of friend to invite you over when your sad and give you a makeover and talk about people you're interested in or whatever is bothering you and will just be there to listen to all your woes.
Ren is the friend who's tough on the outside but really cares for you on the inside. The type of friend who can point out when you're being stupid or if somethings not right, but saying so in a tone that won't offend you or make you feel bad about yourself. She's the type of friend that teases and lowkey bullies you but will remind you that it's all lighthearted and she really loves you in between.
Jake(as the character) is the type of friend who tries to make serious situations less scary by joking around. He's like a moodmaker. He's the type of friend that likes to mess around and have fun. He likes to get into trouble with you and likes to rely on you when another friend is teasing him. He's the goofy golden retriever friend hehe.
Jay(as the character) is the type of friend to think about you and his other friends first. He sees an event that looks like fun and immediately tells the group about it. He's the dad of the group and definitely the one who pays for everything. The type of friend to give gifts to everyone if he sees something that reminds him of you. The type of friend to wait until you go inside if he's walked you home, the type of friend to order food and medicine for you if you're sick. He's the type of friend that won't judge, but will advise.
I wanted friends just like these. And I guess writing them this way made me feel better. And I still have friends that sometimes I put our humour and characteristics into the characters. I hope this helps give you some insight on their characters!
