Hi 🦊 , so this is for Flux. Wait how are you? I hope you’re good? I’ve been pushing this off because I’ve been so busy. However, I had a fight with a friend and since this blog is one of my happy places, I’m here.

So, yeah Flux. I don’t think they should be back together, honestly I’m with the hyungs on this one, especially Jimin (where he says JK is putting all their previous problems on her mental health issues). They might not have had the best approach (I’m looking at tough love Yoongi), but doing anything that’ll lead to JK feeling ambushed will honestly make him double down and want to prove a point. I’m not sure I’d react any differently than they did however tbh, they literally had to watch someone they love and feel responsible for, breakdown and fall apart, helpless to stop any of it. And they’re expected to just be accepting of him going back to what was essentially his trigger without any proper development or growth on his part, simply because he is an adult? No way. He legit could have died and they wouldnt have known, I’m referring to when he had that bad reaction to the drugs in his apartment and they all thought he was hooking up.

Honestly, I love them together, and I’m really loving Sasha’s progress and honesty. But tbh, JK never actually worked through their break up. He went from doing drugs and women, to almost oding and then pining after Sasha so fast, it was like whiplash.

Moving on, what Michele did was just not it at all. I loved Namjoon’s maturity in this book and the differences between his actions and Michele’s are very apparent. Michelle had no problem telling her best friend’s private business to a guy she just started hooking up with, while Namjoon remained mum about JK’s downward spiral. Also, the way he kept on referring to Michelle as just a fwb shows he would easily drop her to protect his group. Meanwhile, aunt Michelle is busy telling someone she betrayed “if it makes you feel better, we’re fighting now”. Da f*ck? Its the audacity for me 😂 . Anyway friends fuck up too but, this shit needs a serious apology to even begin to rebuild that trust.

I wish JK and Sasha the best, but all I see right now is a train wreck waiting to happen if things are not handled delicately. If it weren’t you writing this, I would have stopped reading because it started to feel like unhealthy relationship habits were being romanticized. But it’s you 🦊, and one thing I can trust is the realism in your stories and how you tackle important issues about building healthy relationships, love and trust.

I’m looking forward to the next chapters. Apologies for any typos, I’m a bit calmer now with my friend, but I’m not the best typist when I’m upset.

🥂

I appreciate the trust!! It's true --I HOPE-- that when something feels off or unhealthy or not quite right in one of my stories, it's intentional and something thes tory will be addressing in some way, whether that's a character calling it out, or the characters themselves need to grow past it, etc. I try not to be preachy with my writing, but I do want my characters to wind up in happy, healthy relationships, so if we aren't there yet, it's not the end!

I had expected some comments like this! And there are soem over on ao3 too, so you aren't alone with your reservations. I think there are some readers who are optimistic and some are pessimistic and some are skeptical and it's all good, I don't mean any reader is reading the "right" way or anything like that. I expected to get called out more than I did on how quickly JK went from "nearly ODing" to "staking out the coffee shop, ready to be a devote boyfriend to Sasha." But... yes, all intentional 😉

I'm so sorry to hear about your fight with your friend! I hope that's able to resolve the best way you need soon and it doesn't remain a sore spot for you for long!
