Mimi, I love you and I think you're one of my favorite writers in this app, but how come many of your stories JK always seemed like he was too quick to fall in love? :( I mean your plot and your wording is so amazing that I felt like not everyone can be like that, but in Please Love Me and Fight For You, how is JK came from becoming a stranger to suddenly fell in love? I think you missed out some of that part to include:(
Hi, anon! Thank you for appreciating the plot and wording of my stories ☺️ that means a lot!
As for your question, I try to be mindful when writing JK’s character’s development in parallel to the development of his relationship with OC bc I’m more into the slow buildup of feelings more than the sudden realization of it. I’m not sure if you want clarifications but I pointed them out hehe *spoilers below* (sorry it got so long! My stories are always so lengthy bc I try to flesh out emotions and motivations so I thought they were clear huhu)
PLM JK was friends with OC for over 20 years and from the get-go, I established his admiration for her that he’d had since he was a child but which he denies like during Seokjin’s wedding. And while JK wasn’t into the arrangement at first, I explained why (it was more for rebellion than it was against her). Their domestic moments brought him comfort, and he realized he felt something for her post-fight. There was always something there, he just didn’t want to admit it for reasons that were explained 🙂 He did say he loves her months after they got married, so that also took time.
FFY JK started as indifferent to OC but his admiration for her (physical beauty in ch2, kindness and capabilities in ch3) slowly built. He just seemed against it bc he wasn’t used to someone showing care and concern for him. Post-incident, he went through the crisis of why he acted the way he did in the alley with OC being in danger, and that was the start of something (from our POV) but again, he was confused. That recovery period was what did it for him (which he contrasted to how Soo-ah treated him), and he had that epiphany when they slept next to each other. As of ch6, he hasn’t actually said he loves her hehe so there’s that. I clarify more of his feelings in the last 2 chapters 🙂 I actually thought them getting together from ch5-6 took so long haha
But I appreciate your question, though! I feel like I write enough of his emotional journey to realizing his feelings for OC but I understand, too, if it may not come across 🙂
