Yess, and imagine tlods jin in a full on serious ceo mode and all the employees are kinda intimidated by him but his demeanor completely brightens when oc and sena comes in 😍 he is super whipped for his wife and daughter 🥰

Business reviews and intense meetings go like, the directors asking you to get Sena to call her appa and then Jin picks up the phone (bc any call from his daughter is an emergency even if it’s just about her doll learning how to make mandu) and goes all soft and mushy and everyone is giggling and then he’s back to President mode trying to remain serious but can’t help but smile.

I miss them 🥹🥹

Ahh thank you mimi, you're literally the sweetest! Also, i love imagining about the tlods family cause it warmed my heart 🥹 seokjin and sena is literally the cutest dad and daughter duo 🥰 i can imagine how dramatic seokjin would get when sena called him appa for the first time 😂

Noooo thank you for giving me all these ideas pls 🥹🥹 every time I think or dramatic Jin irl I just end up imagining him as that fun parent who just wants to make his kid laugh and goes along with his kid’s antics. But he’s so soft every time hehe

[ahundredtimesover]

Somehow i think sena might have inherited jin's tendency to be dramatic too 😂 i think as a toddler sena is definitely very protective of her appa and wants his attention all the time! She would get reaally pouty if appa doesn't give her his attention right away 😂

P.s : i hope you don't mind me sending so much asks about tlods 😅 i just really missed my tlods family 🥰

Oh she definitely is! Sena and OC are so close in that they don’t argue, Sena obeys her and stuff… Jin is the dramatic and clingy one since he spends a lot of time being away and that’s why the little one asks for his attention a lot but in a fun, dramatic way 😂😂 Jin would make a fool of himself to get her attention, too, and she enjoys that, so there’s so much teasing and affection. OC is definitely the referee 😉

Oh and pls it’s ok! I miss them, too! And it’s nice to imagine their little family like this. 🥰🥰

Omg mimi thank you so much for making my ask into a drabble 🥹 it was really nice to see jin's adorable relationship with his princess 🥰 it was so sweet i might get a diabetes instead of oc 😭🤣

Wahhh thank you for the idea! It was too cute to pass up on 🥺 I can imagine him being dramatic with her and you bet she’d be that teenage daughter who’d call him out for it. 😂😂

[ahundredtimesover]

Hello mimi! I hope you don't mind me asking question, but who does our cutie baby sena look like more? Does she look like jin more or oc? Thank you mimi, I hope you had a good day! 🥰

A good mix of the two! Sena definitely got her appa’s more striking features like his bread cheeks and pillowy lips. Jin adores it when she constantly kisses him to get him to make her eat dessert before a meal 😂😂 but she’s got OC’s eyes (however those are like hehe) and Jin absolutely adores it! ☺️☺️

hi mimi!!! i never heard of the story dead stars before so i searched up a summary of it. however after reading about esperanza and julia i was still sort of confused on how this tlods is inspired by dead stars.

with the chapters that came out so far, what are the similarities between your story and the original story???

(sorry if the question doesn’t make sense 😭😭😭)

Hi, anon. What a nice question 😉

So Dead Stars (1925) was a required reading for high school which told the story of Alfredo, who was engaged to Esperanza, and during their long engagement, he met Julia, whom he had an emotional connection with, prompting him to question his relations with his fiancé and think how things would be if he’d been with Julia instead. At the end of it, he chose to stay with Esperanza, and this last part is what stuck to me the most and became my inspiration for the theme of the story:

The young moon had set, and from the uninviting cot he could see one half of a star-studded sky.

So that was all over.

Why had he obstinately clung to that dream?

So all these years--since when?--he had been seeing the light of dead stars, long extinguished, yet seemingly still in their appointed places in the heavens.

⚠️[spoilers below the cut]

First, I flipped it over its head by having Jin be caught between his wife and his girlfriend. You can look at OC and Seri as either Esperanza (the legal partner/the first woman) or Julia (the one who came after/the ‘other woman’); there’s that parallelism. But on another note, Alfredo questioned the “monotonies” in his relationship with Esperanza (akin to Jin questioning his relationship with Seri) and Julia came around to make him think of possibilities (akin to OC showing Jin what he’s missing). But also, Alfredo still stays with Esperanza (and we’ll see later on how the Jin-OC relationship is going to go) and lets Julia go.

But I wanted to focus on the dead stars aspect. When Alfredo saw Julia 8 years later, he was wondering if he’d still feel that connection, but he realized he was just seeing dead stars - long gone, but the light made him think there was still something there when there isn’t anymore. Much like Jin to Seri and OC to Namjoon. Jin and OC’s relationship is given more depth when we also look at their relationships with those they loved before each other. I wanted to capture that feeling of seeing something/someone and realizing that the beauty we see is in the past, yet they’re still there, shining and making us think it still exists.

I hope this makes sense! Might make more sense at the end though 😊😊

[ahundredtimesover]

Mimi I hope you are doing wonderful ☺️☺️💖💖!… I’m just passing by to share something, why this line from the How’s of Us reminds me a bit of Jin’s not so good decisions in relationships? When he lied to Y/N about Seri’s resignation I’m like face palming myself. That man’s brain cells gets all messed up when Y/N is around.

Hiii I’m loving the feedback and reaction to chapter 7 so far so I’m doing great! Although I’m at the tail end of my recovery from Covid yet I feel worse?? Huhu anyway, I hope you’re faring better ☺️

And ahhhh I love this movie! I cried so hard here but love sometimes makes smart people do stupid shit… and for Jin, while his intentions are good - not wanting to burden OC - he’s kinda dumb 🤣🤣 thanks so much for stopping by 🥰🥰

[ahundredtimesover]

My heart breaks for Seri. She reminds me of "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift. The secrecy and how she accepted that the relationship will end at some point really apply to Seri. And also these lines "He's so tall and handsome as well, he's so bad but he does it so well." That's Jin right there!!

Mine, too. I didn’t want to dwell too much on her part and instead tried to show through her screen time that she knew what she was getting herself into. She “knew” her place, in the world and in his life, and we sometimes forget that she has agency, too, in terms of how the relationship would go. They were on-off, and while she hoped he’d make it official, he never promised her anything. And like she said, she hasn’t been fair to herself, too, the same way Jin hasn’t been to her. But it’s so sad, I agree *cue Taylor’s singing*

That tall and handsome man went ahead and hurt her 😢😢

mimi i am so sorry i am so late, but i just started reading the light of dead stars and im so!!!

i always let things i'm interested in marinate for a while because i am so soo overwhelmed when they first drop... i saw you blog about being a little disappointed in not getting as much feedback on tlds as you wished a while ago and i felt So bad :((

but now i'm here!!

idk how to sign off as i'm not a regular anon, but i will definitely write again to !!!!! and <3333 some more!

Hiii helloooo I hope you’re well hehe and I hope this (!!!) is a good sign! And no worries at all; please take your time 🥰

Writing TLODS brought me so much excitement bc I was so nervous to write Jin and that was actually a very dramatic story for me and I kinda marathoned writing it haha. But then again, I can’t rly do much about the feedback and interaction but all those who reached out have been amazing! No need to feel bad at all. Just thank you for dropping by 💕💕

[ahundredtimesover]

Is it chapter 9 day today?? 😅

(asks the girl who declared she is not excited for chapter 9)😂😂😂😂

Are you sure you want it already 😅😅😅 but I truly hope you enjoy it 🥹🥹

[ahundredtimesover]

Mimi my love I hope you are having fun in your vacations!!!!

I was wondering if maybe we would have a spin off of TLODS???? About Joonie???? Because I feel there's more of him I want to see, his side of the story and his own story after OC. I want my man happy 🥹 and I don't want TLODS go just yet I already miss my babies 😭

Hiii I’m sorry this is late. I was missing things in my inbox ☹️ but yeah, I’ve got some ideas about a TLODS spinoff about Joon (possible x ER nurse reader!) but I’ll see when I can get to that. I miss them, too; Joon can drop by in drabbles as well 😉

[ahundredtimesover]

Hi mimi! How have you been? I'm in seokjin missing hour so i'm gonna re read tlods again 🥰 how are our tlods couple doing?

Seokjin missing hours 24/7 😢 his alcohol making show and photo folio are so beautiful. I can imagine tlods couple exploring their love for food and extending it to alcohol, going to the countryside with little Sena and enjoying the views and delicacies. Safe to say they’re extremely happy and living the life 😏 thank you for the reread. I appreciate you! 💕💕

[ahundredtimesover]

I saved THAT brat tamer Seokjin thread so fast lmao my fav is him screming Taehyung... like... I AM SAT SIR. My man is so hot for that ufff I can just imagine OC face if he pull the brat tamer card on her (this better be a drabble, Mimi PLEASE)

Brat tamer Jin out to make us suffer indeed. 🥵🥵 haha yes yes! Imagine OC teasing him relentlessly, being bold during a charity ball where he has to give a speech and he pulls her aside and gives her that look bc mans is MAD and wants her woman to stop and go not at the same time. Sheeesh ok noted

[ahundredtimesover]

I was re reading Inevitable for the 1000 time when I got the notification of the new TLODS chapter!!!!!! Poor Jinnie 😭 his parents are so unfair, I don't like them already 😑

I hope everything solves soon, cause they need to be happy! They deserve it 😭💜

P. S.: I miss Inevitable family so much too 😭😭😭

Ahh thank you for loving Inevitable; I miss them so much, too! 💕💕 we’ll hear about them soon, don’t worry!

Also, this 12.2 is another favorite. You might like it, too 😉 hihi

[ahundredtimesover]

I know you won't give us a spoiler of chapter 11, but at least can you tell me if I'll suffer? Please I need to be mentally prepared :')

It’s gonna be emotional, that’s all I’ll say 😉 looking forward to later hehe 💕
