first, no. yung this time, i was writing it together when i was making paper marriage. whenever i get ideas, i put it in my drafts first. and i finished up the flow and story line before i decided to post it. but days after the end of red flags, i was really fixed on making a sequel. but it took me some time to do it kasi i'm never one to rush things kasi. i wanted to make it na hindi lang siya mere continuation (?) ng au. na may difference, both in the characters, the time, and my mindset as i write it. i wanted to write it with a more mature and more frustrated feel to it. na yung tagal ng pag gawa ng au, reflected sa waiting time na dinanas din ng characters. kaya ayon.

as to the canon events that contributed their story, i don't exactly remember. kasi if may yh moments, i just add them kung saan sila babagay sa story eh. i don't really push it in the au. hehe. but one thing sguro na i know that i affected the au is yung addition ni anton. i really really want to add hyungwon to the story after watching their content together. i was so keen to insert it. hahaha

third, what drove me to write this is my personal trauma. hahaha. it seems like a joke, pero totoong nagta-trauma dumping lang ako sa aus ko. hahaha. red flags is based on a true story, and it's my story. pero yung this time, it's a creation in my head na. there are parts of the story that are real tho. (e.g. jake who was in a car accident. i based that story to what happened to my sister. i have been in a car accident too just last year when i was writing it. there are others pa, but i can't recall everything.)

anw, thank you so much. i did try my best to make it as realistic as possible. altho we know it's not, but i used my own experiences or the people around me to make the feeling more genuine and hoping that i could properly convey it in the story.

thank you for this! :)
