hi jules ! i absolutely ADORE your fics so much, i wish i had the guts to interact with you on twitter but im always trying my best to leave comments on ao3 hehe, this being said i adore your writing SO dearly, the story the worldbuilding the way you write is absolutely beautiful.

one thing id have to say bothers (?) me for a lack of better wording, or u can say feels like a pet peeve haha, as a korean person i admire your knowledge about the culture so much its just one tiny thing id like you to know is when the characters refer to each other in third person, they dont say hanbin-ah. for example in pearl heart (my favourite from you), when ricky talks to eumpappa, he says "Take care of Gyuvin-ah for me, will you?" in this case it will more so either be Take care of Gyuvin or Take care of Gyuvinie. you usually use the suffix -ie instead of -ah when referring to someone in third person. you only say -ah or -yah when you are calling out to them in first person. so ricky would only say gyuvin-ah when he is directly saying something to gyuvin. not when he is talking about him. thats all haha. i hope this doesnt come off as rude or anything :((( , im a big fan of your work and just wanted to let you know. have a great day jules! <333

ah thank you for pointing it out for me, friend! it is something i sometimes still struggle with~ i will make sure to remember your tips when i write from now on! and feel free to call me out again when i do something else wrong ^^ your knowledge is invaluable to me, since korean is not my mothertongue :) and thank you for your kind words about my fics :)) feel free to interact with me on twitter too, i don’t bite •ᴗ•
