          More editing to be done later (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

Hey, my sweetest! ❤️
          
          First of all, I'm extremely sorry for reading the chapters this late (╥﹏╥). I finally caught up with the recent chapters of Enemy S2, and of course, I left my comments as always! Hehe (≧◡≦)♡
          
          Honestly, the chapters were so interesting! They were filled with so many different emotions, and you portrayed every single one of them beautifully.
          
          When Koo was thinking about the past and wondering how different everything could have been, my heart genuinely ached for him (T_T). He has been through so much, and seeing him carry all that pain was heartbreaking.
          
          I'm really grateful that Koo has a brother like Hobi. Seriously, Hobi is the best brother anyone could ever ask for. He's always there for Koo, and their bond warms my heart so much (╥﹏╥)♡
          
          That chapter was so emotional, and then the next chapter completely changed the mood. It was such a feel-good chapter! Seeing them pack to return to Korea, watching Koo joke around with Hobi and finally smile again... it honestly made me so happy. Baby looked so lively and excited after such a long time, and he absolutely deserved those happy moments (｡•́︿•̀｡)♡
          
          But... General Kim... hmmm... something feels really fishy (¬‿¬). I don't know what it is, but I'm so curious to know more about that.
          
          AND WHERE IS TAEHYUNG?! (╥﹏╥) Baby Koo has suffered enough already. I seriously can't wait for his entry. I miss him so much, and I'm desperately hoping he'll finally appear in the next chapter. Please let me see him soon (〒﹏〒).
          
          And what about Eunwoo? You left me with so many questions! The story is becoming more and more interesting with every chapter, and I'm completely hooked now.
          
          I'm eagerly waiting for the next chapter already! ♡
          
          Also... not trying to pressure you at all 
          (´• ω •`) but... when can we expect the next update, my sweetest? I'm already counting the days (≧▽≦)♡
          
          Yours,
          @Twilight_Traveler ✨️

          PS : this app is testing my patience (⁠╯⁠ರ⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠ರ⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

"I've got my casual leaves stacked up for days like this." Hoseok said with a wink, which made Jungkook giggle. 
          
          "And what if he still doesn't allow you?" The younger asked, his voice airy with laughter. 
          
          "Then I'll seduce him into giving me leaves with my handsome face. " Hoseok said, making a Flynn rider smolder face, which made the younger become a giggling mess, clapping his hands like a seal.

As much as I want to move on to the next topic, aka the justification of cheating, I don’t wanna bore y’all with too many messages (⁠*⁠_⁠*⁠)
          
          Otherwise, this really will start feeling like a history class lecture.
          
          So let’s talk about it tonight (if y’all are willing) or tomorrow morning :⁠^⁠)
          
          
          And yes, do tell me your thoughts about everything I said. 
          
          It’s a discussion, remember?!

So please, if you’re writing about such topics, at least don’t present them as something admirable or romantic. Show them for what they truly are: harmful, morally wrong, and in many cases, criminal.
          
          
          And please don’t come at me with “but there were warnings saying it’s for adults only.” 
          
          We all know that many readers, especially younger ones, skip those warnings and dive straight into the story.
          
          
          
          So now it’s on us to think more responsibly about the kind of messages we’re putting out there.

Dark romance doesn’t only revolve around non-consensual acts or stalking. There are many other themes to explore, from gore to cannibalism to supernatural entities.
          
          
          And romanticising any harmful act is dangerous, especially when a major audience consuming these books is teenagers. Most of them are still emotionally immature and may not fully distinguish between what is morally right and wrong when such behaviour is constantly presented in a desirable or attractive light.
          
          
          Eve teasing, stalking, non-consensual touching, violent behaviour, and many other harmful acts are increasingly being perceived as “hot” because of how they are portrayed in books and movies.
          
          
          And the fact that this mindset is becoming normalised is genuinely concerning. It can contribute to harmful attitudes and behaviours in real life, including harassment, abuse, and sexual violence. And no, this isn’t something people are just making up. Investigations into certain criminals have shown that the media they consumed did influence their perception of relationships, violence, and consent.

The first one is the romanticisation of non-consensual touching and stalking in the name of dark romance.
          
          
          Like... are those writers even reading what they themselves are writing? Have they ever truly put themselves in their character’s shoes?
          
          
          I don’t think so. Cause if they had, then they wouldn’t be romanticising it the way they do.
          
          Like how tf can someone fall in love with a person who touched them without consent? How??
          .
          And I’m not saying “don’t write about it.” If the plot demands it, then write it. What I’m against is the way it gets romanticised. The way characters doing such things are seen as “hot” just because they’re attractive.
          
          
          I’ve seen comments like “it’s so hot”, “I wish someone would do this to me”, “if only it were me in that situation”, and so on. Like please... this isn’t something people should wish for.
          
          
          Can we please stop glorifying and romanticising such acts under the name of dark romance?
