hi. anna. my beloved. first off — happy new years!!!! i hope you spend your first day of 2025 well, with minimal keyboards in sight. unless you did spend your 2025 writing, in which case i might gently take your laptop (or pc? i don’t discriminate) from your hands and suggest you take a minute to appreciate…. the…. weather? or something equally non-ao3 related. but seriously, jokes aside, the last thing i expected after trust i seek was another fic! you’re kinda my stephan curry of enhypen rpf…. my goat…. Greatest Of All Time…. when i think you’re done giving you somehow give us more ㅠㅠㅠ BUT! i wanted to include some kind words about your new hjk hehe
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
- starting this story off with a blurb of heeseung informing us of his inability to tell stories…. and then leading into the story anyways. how profound. how chic. this is INCREDIBLY lizzy mcguire-esque and i love itttt
-this entire fic being a love letter to heesunjake if you squint and tilt your head at a 90 degree angle… i love it. heeseung holding jake to a pedestal who holds sunoo to an even higher regard like THIS IS ART ANNA
-i think sunjay in this universe would be the best of friends (4 years post heesun break up. i fear junior year sunoo and freshly graduated jay would fight over their opinions of heeseung lol)
- on a more serious note, this is such a beautiful story on self perception and the misunderstandings that can arise from the varying ideas one has of oneself AND others. the scene where heeseung calls jake an angel and he just softly asks for him not to call him that broke my heart…. to doubt your own goodness over a crush you’ve harbored for so long is so tragic and SUNOO. THE /sunoo/ OF IT ALL. oh how i love flawed characters and their depressing musings. thank you for this wonderful story anna banana fo fana.
me reading this knowing i spent all two days of 2025 so far writing in every spare moment i had: 🤓
HEHE HIII pls do take my laptop away honestly it's so bad sjhfketkjrjtk thank u for recognizing that i have a problem 🙏 AND I'M SO HONOURED TO BE UR GOAT. I LAUGHED OUT LOUDHFHWHFBDUFB i don't know what i've done to deserve the title but truly humbled honoured etc...
LOOOLLL it is very lizzy mcguire esque like. i wanted to have a little "i bet you're wondering how i got here" moment can u blame me !!!!!
and thank u for recognizing my life's purpose aka writing love letters to the messy heesunjake dynamic i could genuinely go On And On about them. and that was very much my intention with this fic like there's just so much going on there i'm obsessed...
AND YES OMG there was originally going to be a scene written where sunjay were going to interact but unfortunately it didn't survive the chopping block and i didn't end up writing it BUT they absolutely are friends now that jay is willing to reluctantly admit that heeseung has one or two flaws. maybe.
and thank u so much omg i really love the concept of misunderstandings and miscommunication, it just feels so quintessentially human to me like. no one's Ideas of each other and of themselves ever truly align with reality and i love thinking about the disconnect between the person u think u are and the person u actually are i think there's so much to Say there. love it. we never truly know ourselves or the people around us because there's Always a version of ourselves we won't know exists until a situation presents itself and forces it out of us. but it's in there and what if u don't like that version?? does that make u a bad person even though it might only be situational and it might not Always be you??? (no) (in my opinion) FASCINATING RIGHT. idk i'm definitely nonsensically rambling i'm just so pleased u get my vision hehe i too love my precious flawed tragic characters and i'm so glad u do as well thank u so much for sending this <3
