yes, I swear I'll make a proper, detailed wip intro soon! this is more for my immediate gratification and seeing myself spiraling lmao, reactions to look back on.
wip general notes (to be updated):
A fake dating ya romance set in Seoul, Korea where a teen tries to escape the blind dates her chaotic family sets her up on for her aunt's wedding.
One of the few members in her family unable to connect with Korean culture-starting from grasping the language to understanding the mannerisms-the only reason Hyeri Kang comes every summer is to visit her beloved grandfather... who has cancer. This year, though, is more chaotic than ever. Caught up in blind date shenanigans to her aunt's wedding, she employs Taeyoung Kim, who is as infuriating as he is straightforward, as her fake boyfriend to escape awful men who propose to her on the spot. Surely it wouldn't be hard to not fall in love with someone who's connected to a culture she's been resistant towards...

I WANT TO GET BACK TO THIS DRAFT BUT I GOT ACADEMICS
brain's so blank I don't even know what to think
It’s complicated.
You’d think I’d be more excited, coming to Korea over summer break. But this is a mandatory family meeting in the guise of a meeting. Trying not to topple over while dragging the luggage bag from the taxi’s trunk, I glance up at the 11-story apartment. It’s quiet. No hands sticking out through the nets, no voice shrieking our names.
I don’t know whether to be worried or relieved.

ahhh !! honestly i don't care i'm so proud of myself because I haven't worked on this wip in like 2 weeks and I wrote SOMETHING, even if it was a "in the moment" thing
literally wrote a cute fluffy rain date scene and then jumped ahead to write this emotional one and now my feelings are all over the place
also like hyeri is so bad with feelings and words ?? i feel so bad that she can't express herself the way everyone else around her can, her pride is too big and she's scared of ruining every and any dynamic my heart )):
My biggest nightmare is my Grandpa giving up. I researched it once. They said that cancer is so painful, that being treated like a baby again is so degrading, that they can’t deal with it. But I can’t have him give up. I can’t have him disappear from my life. He’s fought all this time—what’s one more day? That’s what I think, but at the same time, I know how selfish it is to ask him that. I could never ask him to do that, to suffer an extra day, when he can have peace. I’ve imagined the scenario at least a million times in my head. And I still don’t know what I’d say if he asked me—quietly, in Korean—no. It’s stupid, really, having thoughts like these. But I’m spiraling. I can’t stop spiraling. I’m spiraling.
