Obsession - Extended Authors Notes

[jaaycakes]

So here's a rundown about the story, how it was written, and.. stuff.

The writing style (POV)

• The shifting view points was basically between Jinki and Minho. Jinki was narrating through Jonghyun's journal entries (which is why the third person pov was jonghyun-centric), while Minho replied to each journal entry to help him get over the death of Jonghyun.
• The journal entries came from when Jonghyun continued visiting Jinki to get help to get over Minho, basically he was writing down the events leading up to the break up, and then how he dealt with it after. It was supposed to be some sort of therapy, to let everything out so that it wasn't kept bottled up inside until he basically.. 'exploded'. 
• So basically, when Minho was replying, he was going through psychotherapy as well, because he had gone crazy/overly-depressed upon the death of Jonghyun. And Jinki offered free therapy meetings to prevent Minho from suicide as well. 
• This is why I said the alternate doesn't make sense, because it's not like Minho would have needed psychotherapy since he and Jonghyun ended up happily ever after, lmfao. But oh well, it's all goood. 

Writing style continued (Italics/lists) 

• This happened in two chapters, chapter 2 and chapter 8 
• If you don't know what I'm talking about, in chapter two, it's when I wrote "His smile" and then followed like a memory of his smile or something like that. And in chapter 8, it was when I listed "The bed" and then followed a memory in the bed. 
• In chapter two, this was to show that there was reason for Jonghyun to truly believe Minho was in love with him. And it was also to show the dynamics of their relationship, basically, and that they actually had a relationship that was continuously progressing. 
• In chapter eight, it was to show why Jonghyun was so upset, because there were really no past events that I wrote that would have shown "oh these two were really in love". So I just listed those simple memories to show their relationship during those months that they were living happily before Minho dropped the bomb. So again, it was to show how they truly had a relationship for Jonghyun to be depressed over. 

And.. I guess that's all I really felt like I needed to explain. Well, there's more, but I'll leave that for you guys to figure out on your own, if you didn't already. Besides, those are really just little details. It would probably help you understand the story better, but I'm pretty sure you guys are already all TL;DR!~ xD

But yeah, thanks for reading this if you even did. And thanks for reading the story in the first place <3
