I'd started reading your BinJin fanfic in 2020 and lo and behold! It came true. I think a lot of it may have played out the way you visualized. I can't wait to get more chapters. In your timeline jumping style, I do feel, we need a few chapters about how life changed when they got "together". I mean we have the kiss and meeting parents in Daegu. But what happened between then and them starting CLOY?

Awww thank you! 
            
            The period in between Daegu and starting CLOY had several chapters - in particular the LA arc and the Maldives trip. 
            
            Other actual highlights IRL included SYJ attending HB’s movie premiere in Oct 2018, a cosmetic event they both went for in April and script reading. I think these “milestones” have been covered by other fan fic writers so I’m pulling out others which I find more interesting. And can help build my narrative. .

Hey, I’ve been thinking... would you consider writing a story about gay HB and lesbian SYJ? I mean to explore the emotional but platonic relationship they might have? I’m obsessed with them too, but I’m starting to get more and more gay vibes from HB and am curious to read a story in that direction. Even though it is speculated that SYJ is also gay, I don’t get that much of a gay vibe from her. But again according to a guy friend, guys get girls’ lesbian vibes better than girls.

Nah, not going to happen especially in K ent. And agree, K-ent is pretty unhealthy. Look at the suicide issues. It’s such a shame. 
            
            The Night of Hate Comments I referred to in the Maldives chapter had Sulli as a host who would talk abt all the insults and haters she got. Very sad. 
            
            I think we just need a healthy amount of perspective as shippers. We just want them to be happy right? Just that it’s much much better if they were together. Hahah.

I feel your friend about SYJ. Her reasoning seems right.
            How I wish celebs were and could be more honest about sexual orientations. The amount of delusion they put us into by hiding them, and the amount of pressure they might feel themselves by hiding this important part of themselves...It’s really unhealthy to work in the entertainment industry, especially in industries like K-ent where your success depends hugely on your fan base. I honesty like to be in the know about someone’s sexuality when I’m fantasizing about them.  I can fantasize abut a gay man, but I like to know beforehand that he’s gay. I guess when society prefers to be lied to, all it gets is lie. I’m more comfortable with uneasy truths though.
            Looking forward to more of your writing. Meanwhile I hope more writers come up with this idea. Everyone seems to be immersed in man-woman love though.

Wow, I’m flattered @NoctoberN that you think I can pull it off. I don’t think I can do gay HB and gay SYJ justice as a straight writer. It’s a complicated terrain dealing with sexuality as it is, and to add on the fact that they are celebs in a difficult environment is definitely too much. 
            
            My lesbian friend thinks SYJ is bi curious because she has so many female friends and is way too comfortable with guys (all her male co-stars she has chemistry with) for a female from a conservative society. 
            
            So I might do a chapter based on this notion. Like the 2 of them discussing hiding relationships and sexuality in general in the industry. Thanks for the idea too!

Hey I am not sure if you are already aware of Bin Jin soompi forum but in case you haven’t! It’s a great shelter for us and always makes me feel better hehe, people mostly share a lot of wonderful insights <3

Hellos! Yes I am! I look at it pretty frequently to get a sense of timelines and insights. And yes, there are some very good rational explanations that came up today. Very comforted by that.
