Ok, here I go π
As the story develops, you make it known that Soobin and Hyunjung have known each other for a long time; at what point in their friendship did Hyunjung realize her feelings for Soobin? I mean, was it before she met Juyeon or after? If the answer to the previous question is "before", then did the "experiment" with Juyeon start as soon as she realized that, in a way, she could help her understand her feelings? If it is so, this implies that the experiment had already been going on for some time since Soobin found out, which leads to the next question, if Soobin had not discovered them in the bathroom making out, would Hyunjung have told her at some point that she likes girls? Because she made it clear that, by her own free will, she would not confess to Soobin. If Soobin had not found out about the experiment and had not asked Hyunjung to use her instead of Juyeon, would she have been aware of her feelings for Hyunjung? Did she offer to help her because she felt jealous of Juyeon (in terms of friendship), or was it because she already had feelings for Hyunjung (unconsciously)? Do Soobin and Sojung behave as if they can't tolerate each other or only when they are in Hyunjung's presence (to keep up appearances)? At some point, will we know what happened between Juyeon and Dawon?
I think those are all the questions I have so far π
hello again! okay so ngl to you, you've kinda made me want to write a chapter detailing some of these events (the part where hyunjung "realizes" and sets up the arrangement with juyeon) BUT i am known to bite off more than i can chew so let me tease it for you a little bit, in case i don't actually write anything lol
so hyunjung and soobin have a crazy, close, one might say dependent, friendship. they've always been close and their dynamic has always been a particular one -- note: soobin saying it was the first time hyunjung Ever turned her back on her -- that they don't actually realize how attached to one another they are. hyunjung eventually begins to question some things, but as you know she struggles to accept her feelings at first. in walks juyeon who sort of demystifies the whole thing (being gay is okay!) and that's how hyunjung's road towards acceptance begins
so yes, hyunjung had feelings for soobin even before juyeon. and yes, when soobin finds out, their arrangement was already set so it was not the first time -- they had been doing it for a little bit by that point
now for the next question, and this one is pretty simple for me, No hyunjung would not have told soobin. maybe eventually, after some time had passed and she had her thoughts more or less organized, then maybe. but again, she's sort of freaked out by the whole thing and specially she's afraid soobin will know it's Her and just some girl she likes. because what would that mean for them? π
for the next question, this is something i feel like i said (?) when someone commented on DoG before: soobin has 0, and i mean that -- none, nada, zip -- CONSCIOUS romantic thoughts when it comes to hyunjung. she's very possessive, so yeah the whole jealousy thing is a pretty big thing with soobin, but never in a million years is she doing anything (consciously) motivated by any romantic feelings. as far as soobin thinks, and she's clearly not thinking much lol, hyunjung is solely her bff. soobin's case is a little different because, although she acts the way she does towards hyunjung, it is the added physical aspect of their relationship that makes her realize things. like when her brother's friend is talking about hyunjung being hot. soobin has genuinely never even given that thought any consideration -- why would she? she does, however, begin to feel a little confused when they start kissing (and then the other stuff). she's kinda like,, hold on π³
soobin and sojung aren't faking it btw. they genuinely do bicker like they're two old ladies but, deep down, they care for each other. they just... show it in a very strange manner. like they have to be mean to each other or they'll die
for the last question, i'm afraid i have a less than positive answer for you. dawon was a sneak, basically. i was paying hommage to manusinistra, who made me fall for dawon in the first place, so i kinda just added those 3 paragraphs (i am a writer for the people lmao if you ask me to add a certain character/scene, chances are i will do it). so no, there are no plans to elaborate on eunwon (sorry π)
i hope these answer have been somewhat satisfying. like i said, you're welcome to come back for more answers. and also to argue with me on anything that may seem off to you lol
