The Fine Art of Rejection - h.rj

summary ➸ ♡ Huang Renjun, the sweetie of the year, is one hard star to catch. Not as easy as his other friends, he's quite difficult to have. Although he has a fair share of affairs with girls, it is considered to be a rare occurence. But you? Oh boy were you something. You were quite head over heels over him. His friends could never understand, but you were persistent to get the boy. No matter how much he refuses your advances, Its like you found art in rejection. But to what degree can you hold it out?

"I can be everything I want, but fuck, I only wanted to be yours. Even though you couldn't be mine."

Enjoy reading! -ryo

Wow, I love the way you structured this story. Initially, I was weary because of y/n's persistence & her people-pleasing nature. There's a fine line between being an admirer & harassment and y/n was crossing it. But the way you drip fed the backstory was so incredible. I actually felt, as a reader, that I was more like Haechan than the y/n, skeptical & judgemental. I also did not like Jaemin at first because he was encouraging her (perceived?) harassment.

Y/n is a complex character, she was almost annoyingly kind and a die-hard people-pleaser. It made her extremely flawed (especially in communicating) yet charming. Although I do not agree with y/n choices to try and win Renjun back, I grew to like y/n in the end when all of her intentions were made clear. I will say though, like Renjun & Minnie said, I wish that y/n was given space to let herself be angry at someone other than herself. I liked that y/n got really close to being vulnerable when Haechan berates her at the party, it was soooo close. Now that I think about it, maybe Haechan would make a better partner. Since he's so honest with her, it would hopefully compel her to be more honest with others and herself.

The story itself is simple but the way it pushed me to explore and change my mind made the story wonderfully engaging and powerful. Thank you for writing this! There's an unfortunate lack of Renjun angst and this was quite amazing. I would love to know your inspiration & thought process in structuring the story this way.

Oh wow.

This is incredibe. It’s almost like u went inside my train thought when I was writing— u absolutely nailed the exact idea of what I was trying to portray the mc.

Y/N was made to be perfectly imperfect. She’s so obsessed with being the nicest and kindest— to the point where it was destroying her. She carried the guilt from the past and tried to cover it with the annoying people pleaser personality she built, however, in her defense, she truly thought that she was doing nothing wrong. Which what Renjun despised. She never discussed the past and continued pursuing him without thinking about his feelings.

However, I wrote Renjun as a strong hearted person, who’s not afraid to say whats in his mind. In addition, the hatred he has with mc heightened his already sour behavior thus resulting to him being a complete asshole to mc. He was imprisoned with the painful memories of the past and he didn’t want to admit it. He likes to think that he just hated her— plain and simple. But again— he wouldn’t have this intense emotion if he didn’t care.

Both if them are stuck in dealing with the past— and have different ways of handling it in the present. One chased, and the other repents. In the end, they met on the same page, both in the brink of breaking. Realizing they actually need to deal with each other and stop running.

I love how you understood everything. I never write mc’s that are just perfect. I like making them complicated— maybe sometimes unlikable, even. But I would always give them reason as to why they’re that way. As per inspiration— I just really wrote it around the idea of ‘second chances’ but if you know me, I HATE cliche and stereotypical plots. I structured around that idea but tried to give it individuality. I strained away from being predictable as much as I could without losing the main plot. Giving it unique quality was challenging but I’d rather take years to write than to publish a rushed and unremarkable fic.

I heavily agree about the lack of Renjun fics. I would never understand why, because as a writer, Renjun as a muse is exciting. I loved writing for him! ♥️

As per Haechan and Jaemin, their role in this fic was just simple. I didn’t want to give them a complex role because they do have their own stories. Think of it this way. Jaemin is just very nice and Haechan is protective over Renjun bc he loves him so much.LOLL (yes im a renhyuck enthusiast)

Anyways!! Thank you so much and I really appreciate the feed back. Im glad u liked the fic! Im gonna go cry in the corner now——-

summary: ➸ ♡ To say that Lee Jeno is pretty would be an understatement. The man's gorgeous. One thing he uses to his advantage, going through college getting girls he spots his eyes on. But there's one he just couldn't get. His brother's bestfriend. You can continue and avoid your feelings for each other, but eventually, it'll happen. You were someone that stayed, a constant in his life. You might not know it, but for the years you've known Lee Jeno, he slowly became yours, inevitably.

"I should've known it was you, because no one else made sense."

superman - j.jh (soon)

summary ⭑ You knew better than to let yourself be tangled in the so called ‘superman’s sheets. You’ve heard enough— that he’s far from the beloved superhero everybody adored. Whilst Clark Kent lived with dignity, honor and justice, Jeong Jaehyun thrived with sex, money and fame. You? Well, you’d live to be his kryptonite, making it your mission to see superman on his knees, ruining him for everybody else. ⭑

“ Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s fucking Jeong Jaehyun. ”

illicit affairs - l.hc

summary:➸ ♡ Infamous for being every girl's guilty pleasure, Lee Haechan strutted through his life shamelessly. But recently, the new girl caught his eye. Im Hayeon, who he believes that would finally tame his wreckless heart. He was confident he could get the girl. And when he did, he never expected her to have baggages. For example, you, Im Hayeon's best friend. Who suddenly, sparked an idea on his pretty little head. You're trouble-- and you're making Haechan commit Illicit Affairs.

“You're making me do bad things, very, bad things. But then again, I'm no stranger in being the bad guy."

After You - N.JM

summary: ➸ ♡ Na Jaemin had it easy. Loved by everybody, the man of everyone's dream. He's a perfect mix of a charmer and a player. Girls begged to be his, and he loved every part of it. Life used to be so fucking perfect for him. Then comes you. You're like an old book, ink fading, cover tearing, but he swears you're worth the read. Before you, life was easy. After you? He wasn't so sure.

"Break my heart, and you'll only find yourself inside."
