It's Not A Love Story | Yeonbin

0.5

"This is...Terrible" Soobin stayed quite bluntly as he read over the first few pages of what Yeonjun had written so far. The others in the room looked to the two and gasped everyone already headed out the door to find a quiet place to counite on their own works.

Yeonjun looked up to the taller who was standing over his desk and snatched his manuscript back. "Oh yeah, then what have you done?" He hissed not liking the response of the others to the pages he's been working on for the past few weeks.

"Well first of all your plot sucks and you have shitty charter designed" He snatched the page right back and wasn't able to finish his sentence as Yeonjun was quick to defend himself. "Uh~ who are you to talk? You're not the writer here I am!" He growled and Soobin crossed his arms leaning in. "Maybe not, but I did study literature for the past 4 years in college and worked at another book publishing company before this" Yeonjun rolled his eyes and sat back in his desk. "Then what would have you done 'Mr. literature graduate'?"

"First of all you never really went in-depth of how the characters developed feelings for each other, one moment they are enemies ' forced to work together due to a school project and now suddenly they claim they love each other? Where did that even come from?"

Yeonjun pouted and looked down fiddling with his fingers. "They grew close cause of the project" he mumbled but Soobin heard him loud and clear.

"Ok, but will your readers catch that? Or did you just think it up and not really explain that. I'm sorry to break the news to you but we can't read your mind so maybe you knew they liked each other from the begging but without hinting at that or putting detail into that early on, this sudden confession is going to confuse everyone reading, you need them to develop an actual romance, even if it's subtle, before they are kissing out of the blue"

Yeonjun sunk further into his seat knowing what the other was saying was true but didn't want to admit it. "I never told you they like each other from the begging where did that come from?"

Soobin felt his cheeks burning a little and bit his lip thinking fast before saying what he did "Because I'm your editor so I have to understand what my writer wants out of his story. My job is to help get that across clearly and so I have to dig deeper than the average person so I can see what you mean. But just because I get it doesn't mean everyone else will"

Yeonjun only sunk further and further hearing his sharp words slowly pricing his spirt. "Alright fine I'll redo it!" He gripped yanking the paper back erasing some of what he had and scribbling down something new. He thought Soobin would have left by now but the boy stood stiff reading over his shoulder.

"Can you not breathe over me like that?" He hissed looking back with only his eyes. Soobin, however, ignored his wishes and stood there still.

"Tsk~ I need a drink" Yeonjun tried getting up and walking away but Soobin pushed him right back down into his seat. "Not until this page is perfected" He demanded from the boy. "I'm thirsty," He said back to witch Soobin just shook his head. "Then you better hurry and get it right so that way you can take a break" Yeonjun grew so frustrated at this point and started writing faster than ever. "Fine be that way!" He yelled scribbling down on the paper, pushing his pencils so hard that he ended up breaking the led and ripping through the thin page a little.

"Argh! Look what you made me do!" He leaned back gripping his hair with his fingers.

Clearly, Soobin noticed how pissed he was and grabbed a fresh sheet of paper sliding it to him. He was standing behind Yeonjun as he leaned down over his shoulder. There was absolutely no personal space with this guy. "Well come back to the love scene then, there are plenty of times in this book where the charters get into pointless arguments, we'll write down your emotions and make it not pointless," Soobin told him and Yeonjun was more than ready to pour it out of him.

He started with their fight, he didn't know how it played a part in the story yet but he just poured out all his feelings into one of the characters, just making it a little more dramatic and changing some of the words until his hand couldn't keep up with the pace his brain was working at.

"Oh oh oh wait!" He quickly grabbed another sheet and started writing another thing down, taking notes of what was happening and what was going to happen after this fight. Every single idea that popped up into his mind he wrote down and then wrote different seniors of what would happen with each idea. He was now completely focused on his work he didn't notice Soobins warm body shift away from him.

He took a moment, everything went silent, his pencil wasn't clicking any more on the paper and his breath was slow as he read over everything. Soobin staying so silent behind him that he honestly forgot he was there. And after a few minutes without noise, he suddenly started writing again. It was a complete different scene of his last brains storm and took a time and place much later than that to where the charterers weren't even speaking to each other and the one he put his feelings into was out getting a drink at a cafe when the other happened to walk in and now they had a much gentler interaction.

Yeonjun set his dull pencil back down and looked back to Soobin handing him both sheets with a stern look on his face. Soobin took them from him reading over both. It being completely dead silent again as his eyes read intensely over each phrase written down.

Finally, Soobin handed the papers back to him and Yeonjun waited for a response. "Well?" He questioned only to feel his hair being ruffled by a big set of hands. "Good job! What kind of drink would you like?" He praised indicating he liked what he just read making Yeonjuns smile only grow as he stood up quickly. "Coffee! From the vending machine in the lobby" He ordered and so Soobin walked with him treating the boy his well deserved break.

Of crouse, he knew they were two different time frames in the story but he was excited to see how Yeonjun would connect them and how everything would play out into a perfect mold of a first draft.

Smiling the whole way, they finally got to the 1st floor where Soobin bought both him and Yeonjun a drink before sitting on the sofa next to him.

"You know, it's been a while since I've felt that feeling of when I write , where my hand moves so fast yet still can't keep up to my heart rate," He said taking in a slow breath as he was his mind was still running fast. Soobin actually let out a small smile and nodded "Glad I could piss you off enough to give you inspiration."

Yeonjun playful rolled his eyes "Oh trust me, it was definitely not you giving me the inspiration, I'm just a genius and it was there all along" He teased not wanting to admit that Soobin could possibly, maybe, slightly, have been the reason he felt that way again.

Soobin just kept that same sly smirk "Ok sure 'Mr. expert author who took hours to write two sheets' " Yeonjun gasped and quickly replied to his snarky remarks "I did not take hours to~" He stopped talking mid-sentence as he realized it was already dark and everyone else was gone. "Uh.." Soobin let out a deep chuckle and stood up. "We're gonna miss the last train" Yeonjun grew bright red and fallowed him out more embarrassed than ever before. "Damn you Soobin," he thought filled with rage as they walked out together. The nights air was cold and crips, and the two boys continued to tease each other trying to set each other off. Of course Yeonjun was always the first to break of the two as he would end up yelling and throwing himself around. It was acutely quite cute..
