These days I’ve been wondering whether updating To You Angel right now is the right decision. From the beginning, the story was never meant to be a cliché romance. At its core, it’s about someone who deliberately creates distance between two very close brothers because he believes it’s the only way to help one of them (his best friend) and, in a way, free the other (his love interest).
The difficulty is that this intention ends up complicating everything. The taboo element is what drives the story forward, but I sometimes worry that it might take up too much space in the narrative. At the same time, I cannot simply remove it, because the relationship between the brothers is really the backbone of the entire plot.
What makes me hesitate is the balance. I’m afraid that by focusing so much on that dynamic, I might end up pushing the main couple too far into the background, even though their relationship is still meant to remain central to the story.
I suppose I’m still trying to find the right equilibrium between those two narrative threads.
