Omg I completely devoured your new fic. Words cant even describe how good it is. The way you describe jay and Sunghoon is just perfect. The characterization also perfect. I cant wait to read the second part and to see sunghoon finally let himself have Jay 🥹🥹
This is so sweet!!! Thank you so so so much, anon~ I'm so happy to hear that you liked the fic~ I had a lot of hesitation when it came to posting this fic, so thank you for the reassurance! Unless something comes up, I'll probably update the second chapter within two weeks~
it's great to hear that you enjoyed the cb, i hope you'll somehow find comfort in music even though life isn't going as well as it should for you ): ! but also, i'm gonna manifest suuuper good results at the end of that deadline. i'ts been a weird day and i have a busy week in front of me, so let's hope for the best ++ thank you for asking!
my faves so far have been blind and orange flower, they scratch my brain just right AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GOOD JAY'S VOCALS IN SV ARE !!! i'm loving the general vibes of the cb and jayhoon have been slaying more than ever.
gnight or morning dear author <3 i'm gonna go to sleep surprisingly early so that i can read the new fic tmrw
Oh man, blind and orange flower are gorgeous songs!!! Jayhoon SLAYING every comeback as they should! Thank you so much for the sweetest reply~ Jay's vocals for real are amazing!!! i hope you're having a good day and if you've read the fic yet, I hope you enjoyed it!!! Take care~

AAA!!!! thank you for waiting, anon!!! I hope you enjoyed~
Would you like to make Jay the dominant one?
i am not sure about the context, anon? but I definitely do have a few fics planned where he's more of the protector~
hi dear!! im that anon that was asking a bunch of questions :3 I just wanted to apologize and tell u that I got a little busy but I def will reply once I get back in the game huehue (I am still drafting a full response) I AM ALWAYS SUPER EXCITED FOR EVERYTHING U PUT OUT OR DONT bc my support is continuous for u <333 we’re all rooting for you!! I hope your wrist is feeling much better these days :)))) I hope u liked the come back!! Tell me what your favorite parts were if you please :D take care, hope u are drinking lots of water and sleeping well and eating yummy foods ☺️☺️☺️
aaa, i'll call you the question anon so i can keep track haha!! it's so okay~ take your time!! thank you so much for all the support and love always~~ my wrist is still meh, but i am dealing with it! I LOVED THE COMEBACK!! still monster, mortal, and orange flower can have my soul actually~~ loved jay's vocals throughout the album so much!! take care, anon!
Hiii. Please dont lose confidence in your writing. Your writing and way of telling a story is immaculate and i hope you post your work with no ounce of regret <3 patiently waiting for your new work :)
oh anon :((( this was so sweet wtf!! thank you so much for these kind words and for waiting!! i am looking at the doc again with a fresh mind today~
hii <3 i'm back after a month or so to ask you, how are you? are you having lots of fun and rest? i hope so! it's the 1am anon btw, just wanted to check in on you.
( also tell me about the new comeback and which songs are your faves !! )
OMG, hey, 1 am anon!! I'm not having much fun hhhh but I am trying to rest~ work is hectic, so I'm in deadline jail now lmao!! Thank you for checking in, anon ~ this is so sweet of you! How have you been??!!
AaAAA COMEBACK. I loved it!!! Obsessed with their vocals!! I loved everything!! But Still Monster and Orange Flower have been on loop since release!!! Jay's vocals especially in this album had me on the floor~
also what are your favorite pairings/dynamics from enha? :3 and why? :D
definitely jayhoon first and foremost. i find it adorable how they're so caring and how much it matters to them that the other person likes something they do. you can often catch them looking for the other person's reactions. it's the cutest thing ever! also, the "one and only" unit thing is forever gonna stick with me. also, black and white. they're so similar yet so different and they balance each other out so well. i also adore how happy they get for each other and the way they're always appreciating each other!
jayki and hoonki are super close to my heart too. jay who speaks in Japanese to ni-ki and makes him comfortable. jay who takes ni-ki home with him because otherwise he'll be alone at the dorms. ni-ki who thinks jay is the cutest, ni-ki who likes clinging to jay and knows jay will nag but that he loves him so much. MY WHOLE HEART FOR JAYKI. Also, hoonki are so first crush coded. ni-ki obv thinks the world about hoon, and hoon loves him like he'll give him the world. it's lovely how hoon always keeps an eye on ni-ki and treats him like the babie he is.
i love heewon a lot too! i think jungwon finds it easier to talk about leadership pressures and the burden of it with heeseung~ and the bond from i-land has definitely grown so much. they're subtler than some other ships maybe, but their bond is so precious!! also jaywon! i adore how jungwon brings up jay at every possible juncture. at this point, I am convinced that his first words were "jay hyung." and i love how affectionate they are~
And sunjay~~ sunoo is so appreciative of jay~ and jay takes care of sunoo so well. they have one of the sweetest dynamics in enha in my opinion. also, sunoo has mentioned that he doesn't like skinship, but whenever i find him initiating it, it's with jay~ and he also always seems super comfy with skinship when it's jay~ and jay has a lot of self-doubt thanks to horrible people in the world, but i think sunoo kind of reminds him that it's okay to trust what a person says because there are genuine people who care for him in the world too~~
i love all the enha dynamics because they're the best boys! and i am always one 3 seconds video away from fully losing it at an enha dynamic!!
WAAAAA TY FOR TAKING TIME TO RESPOND WITH SUCH A THOROUGH AND LOVELY REPLY!!! Not the carpal tunnel nooooooooo ;-;;;; I hope the painkillers are helping :’) u better be taking breaks and letting your wrists rest!! >:) /lh I wonder if you could use speech-to-text instead LOL?

I’m ready to do some thinking and feeling :))

Please don’t apologize haha my response is even longer than yours LOL! Thank you so much for taking time to respond u r the best!!!! Take care of yourself as wellllllll~~~~~
P.S. OOH and also how is jayhoonki?? Bc we love jayhoonki!!
The painkillers help just for few hours so I’ve stopped taking them~~ I am taking a break from writing for a few days again because my work also requires a lot of typing and my hands can’t quite keep up with everything I want them to do lmaoo. Also, you’re the second person to suggest speech to text to me! Maybe I should try it out for real!! I think it would take a lot of stress off my back, so I think I’ll try it and see~ thank you for caring so much, anonnie~ you’re the sweetest and the most considerate~~
THE WEBTOON POWERS. Honestly, I did consider it, but then I ended up realizing I needed a stronger element of conflict from the powers they possessed~ I think you’ll get what I mean when I post the fic. This also reminds me. I have a lore jayhoon fic planned too based on the trailer!! It’ll be kinda vagueish and short like the demon fic, but it’ll happen once I am able to write without going oww oww every two minutes(laugh crying) heli and his cute temple~ he’s like everyone must know I am a telepath or that i have a headache!!
Jay is gonna be super insistent with hoon in the vamp fic haha! And then he successfully emotionally blackmails him because come on, hoon can’t stand to see his jongseong disappointed~~ The fangs. I can already tell you’ll love one scene lmaoooo (There will definitely be some biting by hoon. I mean. He’ll be biting One person. Park Jongseong~~)
“the horrors persist fr but like people u also do???” ANON, ARE YOU ON A MISSION TO MAKE ME BAWL!!! I WILL CRYYYYYYYY. Thank you so much!! Also, people like you exist too~~ Isn’t that something that makes the world beautiful despite all the pain? People like you who come into spaces like these just to shower love and admiration on someone without any conditions. Look at all the good karma you’re collecting! So many brownie points from the universe and a whole lot of love from me!
Thank you for recognizing the different takes! I love me some cliché aus~ but at the same time, I think it’s incredibly fun to explore slightly different angles. For example, the F1 AU and hunger games au~~ I used to watch moto gp every now and then around two years ago, but adulting has taken my attention away. So I know enough to gamble a little in the arena, but not much~~ The inspiration was basically twitter suggesting f1 stuff to me in the middle of the night when I was in my little emo, angsty gremlin zone lmao, so I thought why not PAIN. You don’t need to know a lot of technical stuff to understand the fic, I will add notes if I add anything particularly specific to the au~~ so don’t worry!
Unfortunately, I haven’t played or watched the last of us~~ but I have seen it on the tl and watched many edits of the iconic bill and frank scenes because of the twt algorithm! Are you a fan, anon? by fun scenes, I mean some bamf hoon and jay moments where they save each other and some nuanced scenes where their relationship grows~ also, these are spoilers, but I’ve got nothing to lose, so I’ll tell you one of them! Hoon’s an office worker who used to be an ice skater in the fic. Even if it’s the apocalypse, amidst all the essentials he carries with him is the last pair of skates he used before he retired. Jay nags him throughout the fic for carrying what is not an essential item, but in one of the scenes, they kinda get ambushed. And while escaping, they obv don’t have time to take everything. Hoon leaves the skates behind. Two days later, he wakes up to find jay gone. He goes on a mad dash to find him and sees him on the way, lugging a familiar bag. You can imagine how it goes. The boy you met randomly and felt divided on saving because you can trust no one in the apocalyptic world and yet you did and said boy nags you left and right, but he still puts his life on the line for your silly pair of skates even if he doesn’t know you used to skate or why it’s so important to you? That’s basically a love of a lifetime Hoon: HAND IN MARRIAGE PLEASE Jay: BRO GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU STINK. FIND A RIVER BEFORE YOU PROPOSE, YOU NEANDERTHAL! So it’ll be angst-ish but also there’s a lot of hope~ jay is hope in the fic. Hoon goes from ‘we’re all gonna die anyway, so I’ll do what I can to survive until I can’t’ to ‘No matter what happens, I want to spend my life with him. I wanna see him grow old. I wanna grow old with him, I wanna be there beside him for all the sunrises and sunsets he sees for as long as I can, and I’ll fight fate for it every step of the way!’
The vampire/vampire hunter! Jay is the vampire! Hoon is the hunter. They kinda have this very obvious rivalry, but also they have saved each other a few times. Classic enemies to lovers where neither of them are actual enemies, just mildly inconvenienced by the other’s presence. The fic picks up in the middle of things. As in, they’re both straddling an odd line when it comes to conversations but there’s some plot action, so they’ll have to figure a lot of stuff out~ the inspiration for this was the dark blood trailer scene where hoon is on the ground and he stabs ni-ki only to look up and see that it’s not ni-ki anymore, but jay~ this fic will have fledgling vampire ni-ki whose sire is jay btw. He loves hoon because he's pretty and nice, but also because he gets to nag jay about him and ruin his peace~~ important cute vampire menace duties~
It's hard to pick a favorite and there are a lot more ideas, but I’d say that for now, the favorite might be the vampire/vampire hunter au~ but ask me two minutes later and the answer will change~~ I am an indecisive person when it comes to fic ideas haha!!
You’re so sweet for all the kind words!! Thank you so much for real!! May your pillow always be warm, anon~
P.S. JAYHOONKI. JAYHOONKI. ANON, I LOVE THEM!! They’re literally my fave pairing right after jayhoon~~ I have an idea floating around my head for them set in the marvel universe. I don’t know if you’ve watched the movies. It’s an odd idea, and the premise is the Blip. So, the idea is that Hoon gets snapped when Jayhoon are together. (I’ve messed with the timeline a bit, the time heist happens five years after the Snap, but in the fic, it is three years) the fic begins with hoon coming back after getting erased for three years. When he gets back, he finds that jay is in a relationship with ni-ki. He grieved hoon for a long time and went to a support group where he met ni-ki and they fell in love. The fic is basically jay asking hoon to stay because what else can you tell the love of your life whom you still grieve and all of them tiptoeing around each other and having very complicated feelings about what has happened. Hoon rightly thinks that jay betrayed him but at the same time, he realizes that three years is a long time for jay when it felt like literal seconds for hoon because he was essentially wiped off the face of the earth. And jay didn’t know hoon was coming back either, so he can’t exactly claim that he cheated either. Ni-ki tries to get closer to hoon to make him understand that jay didn’t do anything wrong but hoon is still in love with jay. jay is obv still in love with hoon as well. it’s a whole mess lmao so we’ll get some polyamory negotiations and a lot of care and concern and angst! I think if I manage to nail this, it’ll be a good fic! If you have any poly ideas, please send them!! I am bad at coming up with plots for poly fics~ but jayhoonki ar
e for real the bestest!!
Omg i just read your really long reply about all the works in progress and i am so ready. Please take your time writing and take care of your arms and wrist!! Ill be waiting patiently for anything you’ll release. I cant wait to read more jayhoon and hopefully a jayhoonki too <3
aaa thank you so much, anon!! you'll definitely see jayhoon and jayhoonki from me~~ thank you for being so patient!! <33
AAAAAA IM SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL YOUR IDEAS but also nauurrrrrrr ur poor arms and wrists!! are you okay? I hope it isn’t a severe injury :(((( plz don’t push urself to write 🥹🥹🥹get better soon!! 🥰
OOOOH What is powered AU? 👀👀 is that where they have like powers? bc that’s so cute <33 I wonder what powers u gave them hehe
IM EXCITED FOR THE CANON VAMP VERSE!!! I saw some of your WIPwednesday snippets and they look fantastic (as always) hoon is so cute 😭😭😭I can’t wait to see what he does to hide his identity lololol ty for feeding us 🥺
BRO LAKDKKWKS THATS SO MANY AUS OMGGGG WOAHHH I will literally take anything u want to say about ur AUs I just don’t want to push u to spoil anything hehe (not sure how prevalent it is in this fandom, but Ik some people are wary of others stealing prompts too :/) but like 👀👀👀 RACERS? are they on rival teams? Is one of them on the Ferrari team? For the dystopia and apocalypse ones, what kind of dystopia and apocalypse settings are they? Like zombie, plague, technological, etc and what was your inspiration? Oooh and for the hunger games one, are they both competitors bc if so I CAN SMELL THE ANGST. 😁😁😁 I’m so excited for more fantasy ones too, what are the premises for those?? I really loved ur divination fic!!! I loved it so much I blabbed about it to my irl and they cooed over the scenes I was describing (like when hoon has the red webs and J tells him to look at him,,,,,,,, emotional fr) :D i can’t wait to reread it again and again and again!! anyways please don’t feel pressured to answer anything in case it’s too secret lololol but im happy to listen to whatever u want to disclose about ur writing <333
Please take care!!! Hope ur having a wonderful day/night wherever u r as well! I wish I could put into words how appreciative I am of your writing and the effort you put into it! I can’t believe I get this for free 😭😭😭 much love!!!
wow ur brain is fr so big ur so creative and imaginative and amazing at writing 😍😍😍
Aaaaa!!! THIS IS SO SWEET!! I hope it isn’t anything severe too, I went to the doc a few times for a proper diagnosis, but they kept giving me pain killers hhh, so now I’m going to a doc who has ordered some tests. Once I get my blood results back, he said he’ll let me know if I need more tests or if he can find out what’s wrong. He thinks it’s carpal tunnel, but he also wanted to see if something else is wrong since I have a few other symptoms too~~ thank you for being so sweet, anon~
POWERED AU!!! Yeah, they have powers~ It’s not a "superheroes save the world" kind of fic. It’s kind of an emotional angst/hurt-comfort kind of thing. Very domestic. Sunghoon is a touch empath and jay can persuade people into stuff using his voice. It’s basically friends to lovers, oblivious idiots in love, mutual pining, “I’ll never be enough for him but I can’t live without him” kind of fic hhhh. It’s around 65k now, but I have to edit it a bit before I post it~~
I am so so excited for the canon vamp au too!!! Hoon does a lot of things to hide the truth lmaoooo and jay is so stressed but he is onto him and finally finds out! It’s a fun little au with mutual pining!! AGAIN! (BECAUSE JAYHOON LMAOOO) Thank you for all the kind words, I AM EMOTIONAL!!!
Aaaa, stealing prompts thing, I don’t know either, but I love talking about fics, so it’s okay~~~
The F1 AU… they were on rival teams, but they’re also together. It’s not an enemies to lovers fic. Jay gets into a crash on the racetrack and the fic deals with the aftermath set after a year or so. It’s a domestic au too obv with some flashbacks and stuff. I love writing jayhoon and their domestic life~~ lots of angst and pain and the lingering agony of something you loved putting you on the verge of death etc etc…
The dystopian fic has a cyberpunk-ish setting?? Jayhoon fight for the bad guys because they have no way out. They were taken as hostages when they were teens and had to either join the government or watch each other die. It’s kind of a morally grey fic, but they also help people on the side and everything, so it’s not all bad but still very “I will erase everything I am to keep you alive” kind of thing? Right now I only have a oneshot planned, but I might expand it into a series of oneshots~~~~ I love dystopian fics, and I was looking at the tag for it one day, but I couldn’t find many, so I thought I’d add to the tag and diversify it a bit, so that was the inspo!
The apocalypse au is a zombie apocalypse fic. Sunghoon finds jay and takes him along with him to look for a sanctuary yadda yadda the usual apocalypse tropes~~ I have some fun scene ideas planned for it~~ this was honestly motivated by me randomly listening to apocalypse by cigarettes after sex and wanting a fic where jayhoon met each other in an apocalyptic universe!
The hunger games au is angsty, but they’re not competitors. Jay doesn’t go for the games. I can’t write the games because I am a very wordy writer and it’ll take me 300k to describe everything. This fic is the aftermath of the games. Sunghoon and jay are from a career district and hoon joins the games. They’re together and everything btw. anyway hoon wins and comes back. The fic picks up from right after he gets back home. It’ll be angsty, tackling themes such as self-doubt, survivor’s guilt, and so much ptsd. Also goes on to describe the way even being a victor is hell~
The fantasy fics!!!! There are so MANY. There’s obviously the sequel of divination whispers~~ it will be shorter than the main fic, but it has some scenes I couldn’t add to the main fic and will have more Sunoo~ (OMGGGG YOU SHOWED YOUR IRL THE FIC??? THAT’S SO SWEET!! BUT ALSO YOU’RE SO BRAVE!!) the other ideas… there’s one with mage jay and sunghoon who gets kinda struck with magic?? It’s hard to explain lol. I had two ways divination fic could go, with jay being cursed or hoon being cursed, and I went with jay, but I couldn’t let the other idea go, so this one’s like a more magical, more intense cousin of divination?? With a lot more of the magical world lore coming into action. It has a magical government, another dimension and everything. Also, there is a demon jay/prince hoon fic set in the medieval era.. and a demon hoon/human jay set in the modern era.. (JAYHOON FIT EVERYTHING. So I usually get forced into crafting similar ideas but with different premises~~) there is also a vampire/vampire hunter fic!! That’s something I am super excited for!! And I don’t know if you know the mortal instruments universe, but I’ve been thinking of writing them as parabatai~~ so these are just the top runners right now!
This answer got so long!!! So sorry!! Thank you for all the super sweet words, sending so much love to you!!! Take care of yourself, anon~~ and do let me know if you have any favorites among these ideas~~ have a great day/night!! You made my day with your message! <333333
may I ask what u r currently working on or thinking about working on? I’m really excited to read whatever you have in store!! :3
aaaa!! anon, i have so many ideas it isn't even funny anymore. i have a finished powered au for jayhoon sitting in my drafts. i was thinking of posting it after i finish my Halloween au(low-key trying to emotionally blackmail myself into finishing Halloween au by using this fic as leverage lmaooo), but Halloween au is still in the process of being written. I've been having issues with my wrists and arms in general, so writing has been slow. the Halloween au is a vampire au set in the canon universe~ i'm 26k into it, and it'll be around 35k, i think??
as for ideas i'm thinking of working on, there are so many. i have an f1 racers oneshot, dystopian au oneshot, hunger games au, apocalypse au and a bunch of fantasy/modern magic aus almost fully plotted out or in development. if my hands didn't kick up a fuss, I would have finished posting at least three more fics hhh!! i am so glad you're excited. it gives me so much strength! please feel free to ask me anything about my wips! i hope you're having a good day/night wherever you are!
ty for answering about ur favorite things in regards to enha! im a relatively new fan of them so it’s really nice to hear your insight on them! They’re so precious, I’m excited about this new come back! Do u have any theories or thoughts on the upcoming cb? ☺️☺️☺️
omgg, anon!! i am so glad to hear that!! new fans make me so happy! the enha lore is something i feel i don't have enough knowledge about to talk about honestly, mostly because it draws on dark moon(Webtoon) as its base and i haven't read a single page lmaooo. that said, i believe they're focusing on sunoo this time and it'll probably be a song with a pleasant sound but with a lot of depth and intensity in terms of the lyrics. in fact, i feel like the whole album will be like that! i am super excited! there are a lot of theories about the lore on the tl but everything makes sense to me. so i was just nodding along to everything lmao. what i do believe we're seeing as per the concept trailer is that enha are no longer vampires, they're all human now and have lost their powers. and it'll be interesting how they go about that in the album! I'm sorry this was basically a useless response jfghufhgfdgh
ur hoon characterization is the best 🥹🥹🥹he is both dork and intense in the best ratio possible. I love how u write him fr TYSM 😭😭😭
omggg this is so sweet!!! it's how i perceive him, so that's probably why it bleeds through~ thank you for liking it!!! <33333
absolutely OBSESSED with the way u write hoon he is just so…. broody and powerful and so so cool and pretty and gorgeous and AHHHHH it’s wonderful to see him thru J’s eyes :3
omggggg!!!! all those adjectives for hoon, YESSS!! the funniest thing is that i always intend on writing him like a funny dork but he always ends up as someone with a lot of intensity HFSUGHUFSHG. i am glad you like it though! thank you so much for sending this lovely message!
