Hello, beautiful reader!
Thank you so much for reading and supporting Infamy. ❤❤
I genuinely hope you enjoyed the story. Do let me know your thoughts here.
There is a bit of a backstory to this book as well.

The idea of Infamy came up in my mind around the end of May 2022. An age gap story that wouldn't feel weird to read, and one that showed Taehyung as a musician with a tainted reputation is what I wanted to write.
The age gap was slightly worrying me before I started writing, and as I mentioned in the introduction, I discussed with a couple of dear ones, and based on their inputs, I adjusted Taehyung's age as 43, and Yi-Seo's as 26. They had an age gap of 17 years.
Wait, but that's not how old they are here, right?
Right!
Wait a bit. 🤩
So, I started writing the first draft of Infamy with these ages, and initially the story was also set to happen fifteen years post Taehyung's blacklisting. But when I reached the part with the statute of limitations, I did my research as usual, and found out that civil litigations have an expiry period of only ten years.
And then I had to go back and change it to ten years everywhere, and also change Taehyung's age to 37. That made them only 11 years apart, and so I reduced Yi-Seo to 23 years and gave them an age gap of 14 years. It seemed acceptable to me.
Listen, there's something about an age gap between the leads that makes me feel things. And I just had to write one with Taehyung in it because, honestly, I can't wait to see him reach his late thirties in real life with a beautiful family and all. This age is such a hot concept, according to me. 🥵🥵
