discussion: ours for the moment

[hwarium]

“What is it like, not knowing what comes next?”

hello! this is a place to talk about my fic ours for the moment. Thank you to everyone who has shown so much love and enthusiasm. Hearing your ideas make the story more alive for me as well <3

A lot of readers have mentioned that they would love to talk to someone, to share theories or just to yell and have someone yell back haha. So I want to use this space to connect people to people and spark conversations.

I won’t be taking part in this, and I’m muting notifications so feel free to go wild!!!

polite reminder

1. stay respectful, even if you disagree I find that you can have juicier chats when you ask someone why they think a particular way, rather than rejecting an idea outright.
2. please don’t quote what I’ve said in DMs, you can mention the ideas if you link back to the story, but I don’t want “hwa said XYZ” to be used as law. Comment replies are fine!
3. I trust you <3 I’ve heard some brilliant ideas and theories and I want other people to be as excited about it as I was.

Re: hello this is klav's theory

“You still see him,” Jihoon finally states, “After all these years?”

This part threw me off too. I was kind of unsure of the time they'd spent together and if that meant that the Japan trip already happened and if not, how far into the future it happens. Also Jihoon not /knowing/ how deep SC/JH relationship went despite Jihoon being so close to Han threw me off too. Why do you think Han told Jihoon to stay away? Was it to try and ease the pain of knowing he was about to lose him? Do you think Han tried to save him?

Honestly I was puzzling over why he told Jihoon to stay away too. If I knew someone I was close to was going to die, wouldn't I want to do something to stop it even if I knew nothing can/should be done? I think it was to stop himself from interfering with the future in a way? Jeonghan doesn't want to take away free will, but knowing that your friend will die and the day's coming closer- that has to be very distressing because on one hand, his friend's going to die and he knows, on the other he cannot do anything about it and even if he wants to try, --> him not wanting to force other people. When I put myself in Jeonghan's shoes (or try to- I'm never able to see from a character's perspective without taking myself out of it so it's coloured by how I would have felt instead of how the character would have) him pushing Jihoon away makes sense from an emotional point of view. It's a lot to deal with.
“That it’s dangerous to know too much about the future,"
I also see this as a way to lessen his guilt. What if something he told Jihoon would be the very thing that gets him killed? He's going to die and Jeonghan cannot change that, but what if he's the cause of it, even though he doesn't mean to? So he asks Jihoon to not come back, lest one of his 'predictions' be the one piece of information that leads him to his death.
