Make Me Warm
Eunsook was sitting with her head against the windows of the train. Her ride wasn’t too long, but the cold, rainy night was an apt mood for some angsting, as her best friend Kibum liked to tell her she was constantly guilty of.

She was twenty-three, single, and underpaid; like any other university student in this age. But Eunsook had

[A/N]: Finally, though a bit late, my August masterpiece. I pretty much wrote it all in August and did some last minute editing today. It started a small oneshot about unexpected love, but somehow, I just couldn't leave it alone and here we are. I have some misgivings here and there, especially with the characterizations. But I can't help but proud of this. So much of me went into this that I feel like I grew up with Eunsook as I wrote it. I'd absolutely love if you'd take a moment and let me know how you feel!

Notes on the Text:

- Probably my longest oneshot at 10,043 words (23 pages in MS word)

-Osam Bulgogi is pork cooked with squid in spicy sauce. It also happens to by SJ Shindong's favorite dish.

-Since I've never heard Kyuhyun's mother's name, I gave her name Chul Hei which when I researched it, translates to justice and grace.

-Dongseo is sister-in-law (hopefully). I assumed that Korean family dynamics are similar to Indian in that cousins' spouses are also called sister/brother-in-law

oh my God. this is so wonderful and its gonna be on my favourite..
^^

I wanted to quote what I found interesting.. unfortunately for me and you, I'd end up quoting more than half of the fic. rofl!!!

Kibum's role as best friend is just win.

the role of Minjung as the girl who understands tops that.

and Jonghyun's quiet affection just takes the cream~

Oh thank you! ♥ I'm so glad that you enjoyed it.

I don't know if that's unfortunate for you and me or it's unfortunate for LJ. Somehow, I think the site just might explode. It nearly did when I first tried to post to Replay.

I'm really glad you liked the characterizations. I kept freaking out that Minjung was just a little too bubbly and what not.

Again, thank you! ♥

I like your Kibum! :9 He always makes for a great bff character. And forward Jjong is quite forward sometimes. ㅋㅋ

By the way, I think the word you're looking for is 처형 (cheohyung). It means wife's older sister. The term you used, 동서 (dongseo), is actually co-sister-in-law or co-brother-in-law (aka husband's brother's wife or wife's sister's husband) -- what Kyu and Jjong would be if Eunsook marries Jjong. x)

♥ I'm glad that you enjoyed Kibum. Who else would yell and drag Eunsook/Onew out of their funk? I know, Jjong was really forward! I was really antsy to make him like that, but he's the king of skinship. I couldn't help myself!

Oh thank you so much for clearing that up! I was really confused when I was reading up on it myself, so I'm glad you caught that.

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment! ♥

I love you just for the LOTR mention

[childishgrin]

among other things. XD

This was an absolutely lovely story to read.
