Hi author! I have a little idea I’d love to share for your story (feel free to use it or not). What if we explore another tragedy — this time about Dunk, who suffers from dementia?
Even though he has the illness, I imagine him still being his cheerful self (because I can’t bear to see him too sad). I picture Dunk as someone who accepts his condition with a pure heart — gentle and innocent — and then meets Joong, who’s lost his motivation after breaking his leg and having his dream of becoming a professional soccer player put on hold.
At first, Joong would act cold and distant when Dunk tries to approach and support him, but when Dunk isn’t around, Joong finds himself missing him. Later, we discover that Dunk sometimes collapses due to his critical condition.
I imagine how Dunk could become Joong’s source of strength — his reason to start standing back up again — turning Dunk into his emotional support system.
As for the ending, I’ll leave that to you. I’m open to either a happy or tragic ending — I’ll trust whatever you decide.
Thank you, author!
