Oh man oh man, it's so nice to have a second of peace and I hope she believes them.
I'm the poster on ao3 who thought I knew how manager Park got his info - don't all the boys have things on their phones to track them and what they say? That was my theory! But then maybe not! I still wonder how he knew so much.
As always thank you for writing everyone so well! I'm saving my next reread for when we're out of the angst mines...
Oh, and a question just because!
Did you ever consider other scents for the main cast? If so, what were they?
I've been kind of dodging how Uhyeok knew what he knew, but honestly other than the baseline info that Chan gave the company I think the unfortunate truth is that he didn't really know anything! He made a lot of assumptions ("of course she's slept with them, and of course she's mooching off of them, so of course she'd be at the house Right Now if I checked" etc, lots of bias based on gender/designation) and generally bs'ed his way into things. Confidence does a lot for con men! I actually think this might not come up in the story proper unless I edit it in 🤔 I don't totally remember! Maybe I'll stick it in an extra somewhere
You might be waiting a while, then! But it's okay, the story will still be here 😊
Honestly I think I settled on their scents pretty quick! I started off with what we know of the colognes/shampoos they wear but it was pretty obvious pretty quick that wasn't going to work; too many florals! Sooo many florals. Not that I can talk given my own fragrances but you know
I used to have notes when I was figuring this stuff out but I think I edited it into my current scent notes 🤔 Not very helpful in this case. But yeah! I think once I settled into going in a more figurative than literal direction, they came together pretty quick to be honest. No major pivots!
Thanks for the ask! I'm glad you liked the chapter!!
