when the ceiling of jinwoo’s american apartment caves in, he moves in with seungyoon, a failed musician who lives downstairs.

( If they were back on Imja-do, Mrs. Yu who raises chickens would probably tell Jinwoo that it was a harmonious arrangement, to have it happen right in the middle of the floor. )

omg i LOVE asian americans kpop AUs how did you know!! (edited: lmao i say this as if this was for me……) i wish i'd gotten to this during the exchange but i swear i saw the summary before reveals went up and was like OMG *__* & my initial omg reaction was correct, this is so qt!! I don't really think about jinwoo/seungyoon (sorry ;;) but you've really sold me on this dynamic here. your seungyoon is soooo dreamy - the easy way he offers his place to jinwoo, the way he's filtered through jinwoo's gaze hehe (i would have a crush on him too), apologizing a lot for not being there to unlock the door for jinwoo!! !__!, his light flirting, his backstory ;__; honestly fuk john park, laughing at jinwoo in the bar, THE REALLY CUTE FINAL SCENE >_< and your jinwoo is great too, i think you've characterized him really well :O to be fair i don't know jinwoo super well but you really made me Feel for him, and i especially appreciate the way you built in his awful sense of direction without caricaturizing it/making it his sole personality point… ALSO ( ... )

hehe i've been meaning to write an asian-american kpop au forever! i like jinwoo and ksy's canon moments/history a lot but it's harder to establish a relationship from scratch so i'm glad it worked for you here u__u the cameos were fun to write! unfortunately this means they will never ot5 unite but you never know... thank you for reading and i will try to write winner again u__u (to write again period... lol)

i wish i'd gotten to this before reveals but FINALLY THE ASIAN-AMERICAN AU I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FROM YOU!! (the first.. of many... ^^?) this was everything i've ever wanted. the setting feels so genuine down to every detail: jinwoo's superintendent / landlord, the decor of ksy's apartment and ksy's jobs, ksy saying he could've guessed jinwoo's last name, and jinwoo's english comprehension and speaking throughout - i loved to get a ksdjfhgh for the ceiling repair bc LOL it was a surprising way to deliver that but also rly effective ( ... )

thank you for this nice comment ;___; i didn't even mean to do it but it's funny how they all came out as different generations/types of asian american lol, as expected from different team a. and i'm especially glad jinwoo worked for you here! his personality is the type that's easy to turn into caricature so i'm relieved to hear that it felt balanced to you.

i'll trade you earnest liberal arts major seunghoon getting involved with ksy/jinwoo for a 2seung salarymen reunion ok ^^ and IT WAS NOT THAI EXPRESS, FUCK YOU! although ksy would
