The protector

I want more (M)

My apologize and a warning: this one turned to be a little longer than expected (but I hope some of you will appreciate), and the final part sounds pretty confused. It is because JH is, and because we're going to face another step of the story, and I don't want for it to be too obvious since the beginning, even if the most attentive readers can imagine what is going on.

A few words before starting: last chapter had generated a certain number of comments - not so much to be honest - to which I participated with my replies too, regarding the character of In-ah. During the following days, a couple of readers had sent me DM (we're talking about wattpad), reporting how they had felt aggrieved by those comments and, specifically, by the fact that the readers had focused their attention on the relationship of the character rather than on the story about her past which was described in the last part of the chapter.

My personal opinion is that people doesn't have the duty to show their commitment 24/7, and that anyone has the right to read a story just to relax. Knowing from other platforms some of the readers who had commented, I feel pretty sure about their sensibility. At the same time, putting myself in the shoes of the readers who had DMed me, I can understand how the fact could be perceived.

More specifically, what they had complained about the most, was the comment which quoted a HB interview, lamenting that the reader had shown attention and sensibility for the opinion of the actor, completely ignoring, instead, a delicate topic. Even about it, I doubt that the intention of the reader was the one to show how a subject was more important than another, though I can understand how, from someone who read the story and the comments together, the thing could appear a little strident.

As an author, I want for all the readers to feel at ease. Because of it, for whoever still has doubts about the character of In-ah and, more in general, the presence of two women, I have decided to post again, at the end of this one, the note which was at the end of the chapter "Letter" plus some explanation more, you can even read it before or instead of this chapter as there are no spoiler.

If you still feel uncomfortable, please: stop reading and focus your attention on more pleasurable FF, luckily we have a lot of them!

At the same time, for those who will stay, I warn you since now that sensitive topics will be touched even in the future. I don't write about them because of entertainment, yet because I think that some situations need as much representation as possible, taking advantage by the fact that the original character of YSR offers the possibility to talk about specific topics, and being firmly convinced that the more a platform is pop, the more the awareness is wide and effective.

Every position is valid and deserves respect, but in the choice between preserving the sensitiveness of those who simply feel disturbed by a love story, and those who, instead, are living a difficult situation, the focus must inevitably go to a better protection of these latter, and I'm sure that all of you think the same. I ask you, so, at least in the chapters which include sensitive topics, to refrain from commenting about the relationship, or doing it being careful to not hurt the sensitivity of the other readers.

Thank you.

Since he had been chosen to be a pianist in the National Orchestra, Jeong Hyeok had instantly started to use his talent, his manners, and of course his father's name, to work not only as a musician – solo, mostly, yet supporting the orchestra when required – though even as a teacher. And his purpose had come true pretty quickly.

He was usually grateful for it. Together with his knowledge of German and his contacts with his alma mater, this had put him in a unique position when it had come the time to spread the rumours about a certain scholarship: his country giving a massive consideration to any opportunity to gain respect on the international stage, reaching Se-ri in Swiss had turned to be a long process, yet easier than expected. And of course, he was grateful for it too.
