Every story—whether it’s a fanfic, a novel, or even a moving idea scribbled in a notebook carries something of its writer. Some stories are escapism, places where people can build worlds free from the struggles of reality. Others, like Sleepless in Busan, are something else: a reflection of life itself, of the moments that shape us in ways we don’t even realize. The weight of past regrets, the way we carry them of others in our hearts, how a single phrase or act of kindness can alter the course of someone’s life. There are countless stories out there like Sleepless in Busan, not in the sense of plot or setting, but in the way they feel irl. The way they capture what it means to be human irl and that’s why certain stories/fics stay with us long after we’ve finished reading. They remind us of ourselves, of the people we’ve met, the relationships we’ve had, the moments that shaped us in ways we didn’t expect, or just how much we enjoyed reading it. They remind us that even in the most ordinary lives, there is something extraordinary

That's just how I feel.

I get so invested when I shape [my] long fics. It’s not words on a screen; it’s pieces of me stitched into every sentence. Every time a character struggles with something, there’s a little bit of my own thoughts, my own understanding of the world, tucked in there. I don’t just write about emotions but also feel them. If a scene is about longing, I’m right there, lost in the ache of it. If it’s about hope, I’m rooting for the character like they’re my best friend. Even when I think I’m just writing a story, I end up realizing—oh no, this is me. My thought process, my way of seeing relationships, my fears, my little joys. It’s all there. Like, I could be writing a scene where someone is hesitating before knocking on a door, and suddenly I’m like—wait, is this about that time I almost backed out of something important? And then I just sit there for a second, staring at the screen, questioning my entire existence. And also, the moment when the story starts writing itself. When the characters stop feeling like constructs and start feeling like people—like they have their own minds, and I’m just here watching them live their lives. That’s when I know I’m deep in it. That’s when I know this story isn’t just something I’m creating—it’s something that’s changing me while I write it.

At the end of the day, every fic, every story, has little bits and pieces of the person who wrote it. The way they view love, or regret, or hope. The way they see the world or want to see the world. And maybe that’s why storytelling is so powerful, it’s also the person behind them leaving little pieces of themselves behind for someone else to find.

I'm here because my laptop has no charge, and I don't have Discord on my phone. Otherwise, I’d just forget what I wanted to say lol

oh my god cel you get it so much. sleepless in busan is perhaps my most humane work; in the sense that all the characters are deeply flawed, deeply wounded, but at the end of the day, they still manage to carry on to the next, because is that not what means to be human? to live from one day to the next, regardless of how difficult it might be.

i dont know why i sat down and wrote this story, beyond a simple; i just wanted someone to feel comfort through my words. i'm so glad you found that comfort through my words on paper <3

Beta readers: I got excited to share and had 3 ppl beta this hehehe thank u my lovies Char, Rae, and Tiya!!! @pochaccoups, @nerdycheol, @gyubakeries

From the moment he’d first seen you, Choi Seungcheol had been attentive to your needs. The fateful day that brought you together was ingrained in his memory in vivid detail–everything from the little furrow between your brows and the way you’d bitten your bottom lip, deep in thought, to the way you’d tensed and nearly dropped your drink when he'd caught you staring at him for the third time. It had been so deeply obvious what you'd wanted, and he hadn't been able to fight his smirk as he'd raised his hand in a wave from across the room. Years later, he would close his eyes and smile at the memory of the soft blush across your cheeks as he’d pushed himself out of his seat and woven through the crowd towards you, drawn in like a magnet.

in good faith 🕯️ seungcheol x reader.

“because angels are beautiful.” he pauses for a beat. “more than that— they’re obedient.”

word count: 5.8k ★ genre/warnings: 18+ content. smut. alternate universe: non-idol, religious themes and references, blasphemy, corruption kink. morally gray/manipulative csc, inexperienced reader, oral (m), fingering. let me know if i missed anything. not proofread. ★ footnotes: this is not the first fic that will be written about these photos. it will also not be the last. dedicated to @cxffecoupx, who so generously let me play with her idea and add a bit of my spin to it. love you dearly, ris; i hope this lives up even the teensiest bit to what you had in mind! ‹𝟹

The first time you meet Seungcheol again, it’s in the dimly lit corner of your parish hall. Your mother drags you over to him like an offering, her fingers biting into your wrist as she beams up at him.

“This is my daughter,” she says, voice brimming with pride. “You remember her, don’t you?”

Seungcheol’s smile is gentle, his head dipping in a slight bow. “Of course,” he says, steady as a psalm. “It’s been a long time.”

It has. You barely remember him— just a vague recollection of a boy with scraped knees and a perpetual grin. Someone who always stood too close to the altar, staring up at the crucifix like he wanted to be swallowed whole by it.

svt x what was. 💌

you've seen what could have been (@gotta-winwin) and what is (@gyubakeries), but not all good things last. this is the deep and dying breath of the love you've been working on.

📦 Choi Seungcheol

Neither of you speak as you pack up your lives into respective boxes. Occasionally, there’s a question. Do you want to keep this? Should we throw this one out? For the most part, the two of you move like ghosts through the apartment you once shared. 

You only watch as Seungcheol hauls several of his boxes towards the elevator, like he’s hoping to not have to come back. Like he can maybe walk out in one fell swoop. His fingers are shaking; you don’t point it out.

The hands that once built your relationship— now the ones taking it away.

"“Why are you based in Busan?” Seungkwan had asked me, when we met for the first time, an open question, that I had failed to answer, just stammered my way through a bunch of excuses that didn’t make sense to either of us, but at least he had accepted it, had not pressed further, had not asked the question, why do you avoid Seoul?"

"So many people in his lives—his parents, the record label execs, Jeonghan, Seungcheol, Wonwoo, Minghao, Soonyoung, now, and he’s managed to let down at least eighty percent of them, soundly. What was he thinking, opening up a homestyle diner in the middle of Busan? He knows why Soonyoung comes out here to work with him, even if his own house is in Namyangju."
