thanks for answering my question! i have another one hihi
among the sb fics you’ve written, which scene made you feel the most love while writing it? there are so many scenes in your fics that make me feel so in love while reading them, and it makes me wonder—while you were writing them, did you ever feel that same overwhelming love or emotion that your characters were feeling in that moment? feel free to mention as many as you like~ im really curious ♡
if i were to pick a fave as a reader, i think it would be the windowsill kiss in cicadas 🥺 the way it was built up, the rain in the background, a hand on seungkwan’s thigh, and “you look like someone i’ve loved for a long time”. seriously, that line is etched in my mind. it’s sooooo good 😭 and you’re so good at writing scenes and bringing them to life so vividly. I can see the characters, their expressions, and everything happening around them so clearly that it feels like I’m right there with them.
another one is the mountaintop kiss in cicadas as well 🥺 the heated exchange, and then the rain coming down so hard. it was perfect. The way all that tension, hurt, longing, and love finally surfaced in that moment felt so powerful.
i’m trying to recall a particular scene in yoonseul but it’s kinda difficult because the whole thing makes me feel in love just by thinking about it 🥹💗
hi hi omg! this is such a really lovely question, and one that's hard to answer! i think there tends to be a lot of love in everything i write, whether it's romantic love or platonic love. you gave a lot of really good examples, especially the windowsill kiss comes to mind, but i think a few others stand out for me
1) when seungkwan falls asleep in t3 and wakes up with his head in hansol's lap because hansol didn't want to wake him up
2) the breakup scene in cicadas
3) the scene in the camellia garden in want of apricity
i wouldn't say i necessary feel the exact emotion or love that are described in these scenes. the emotions i try to describe are a mosaic of different things i've felt, or emotions i've siphoned off from the people around me, mostly through empathy, but also through their own stories. part of building a character for me always involves pieces of myself (hence my username, jogak), but in the end, though fictional, they become their own people, and a lot of the time, those characters feel and navigate the world differently than i do. writing is a confluence of inspirations for me, and i work hard to make the result of those things coming together into something tangible, realistic, and palpable.
thanks for this beautiful question and your thoughts on my works, i'll put some snippets from those scenes in the replies.
