okay, i'm going to answer in parts. *rolls up sleeves*
first of all, i somehow knew when i decided to write you kaiyeol that things would get out of hand. one, because i adore you, and two, because you like kaiyeol so much and i never knew anyone who liked it as much as i do ;; and so i kept thinking i would finish it by your birthday and then things kept on spiraling out of control, as they do.
youthought it was body switch?!?!? omg!! i though for sure you'd sussed me out :P but I'm happy you got a tiny surprise in the end! i knew it was a totally crack prompt, but yeah! i just wanted it to be magic, and i didn't want 'discovering magic exists' to be part of the plot at all, so i made it institutionalized soul bonding ;) so totally crack, in a story that's not really crack at all? haha, i'm not sure how you forgive me for these things, nav.
i wanted it to be hard on your heart! chanyeol is my 5ever bias and i have so many complicated feelings about him and i just... want to make him happy, but you know how we always have to make our favorites suffer the most. and i always wanted to write about a chanyeol who had more insecurities, but also still knew his good points, because even people who like themselves aren't always completely confident, no matter how good looking they are. :P and the first time chanyeol said "i'll always smile" i knew I had picked the perfect favorite because that's such a dangerous mindset, but one that says so much about the kind of image he wants to give.
jongin... i'm going to have to admit to myself soon that he's near the top of my bias list, with his complicated everything. i wanted him to have always liked chanyeol, but not like how much he wanted his attention? and i wanted him to hate chanyeol's egalitarian approach to friendship-- how chanyeol is so opposite to him, and never really has exclusive favorites, the way jongin does. i wanted to jongin to resent that although chanyeol wanted his attention, it was because chanyeol wants everyone's attention, not because it's jongin he wants. which isn't true, but jongin doesn't know that. kkk.
