SYNOPSIS

Jeon Jungkook and Lalisa Manobal were like diverging lines — never meant to cross paths again. But when he (re)appears in her life after years of radio silence and desperate for help, it's a new story altogether.

One that makes Lisa unsure of what he means to her, and what she means to him.

GENRES & WARNINGS

uni!au, estranged friends to ? , fluff, drama, considerable angst, crack/humour?

NOTES.

first and foremost, thank you giving this book a chance! this is the section where i give my readers a little backdrop on the inception of the plot & discuss some themes (this is a staple for most of my works) hence you may skip to the prologue if you don't want to bore yourself out, although there isn't much i'll be spoiling here so please proceed at your own risk :)

ok now where do i start? in all honesty, brainstorming for this storyline was all over the place. it stemmed from an innocent request made by a reader for my oneshot anthology for an enemies to lovers feat. miss goody two shoes & resident frat boy himbo scenario and although the person who suggested the imagine has deactivated their account, their idea has happened to grow in my archive and has accumulated quite a bunch of other similar wips. please don't mind the title, it was first meant to be published as seven mv inspired one shot but i'm just terrible at giving book titles and like i said, i have this tendency to pile up everything into a huge bubble so basically i collected everything together to turn this into a dumb mess :>

the major intention to write this fic mainly came after say yes blew up, which is something that astonishes me to this day cause that fic was my shy attempt at crappy humour & i was genuinely concerned that my humour may not appeal to everyone — not even me cause i spent like one evening cutting out all the puns i wrote for a couple scenes but that's a discussion for another day. so, to the readers who came from say yes, i must gladly add that this book goes a step further in the 'this shit is so not happening irl' realm 🙃

i must warn y'all that in no way i'm an expert in psychology & whatever discussions that you may come across in the book is just my perspective. i've referred this book called 'eight dates' (a book that i couldn't finish but did work as a loose inspiration for world building around this fic). i've been holding onto this idea for quite sometime now, so i guess i must give it a go before my brain short circuits itself over all the bs i've thought of so far :D

can i also just admit that i've been watching wayyy too many netflix movies and this just reflects in everything i've written recently? currently i'm on a friends marathon (my first time watching the show!) and one thing i can promise is that the book is deeply rooted in the atmosphere of kdramas i've watched so far & romcoms which i hope shouldn't be a bad thing... unless i might go down the friends route and just blunder up every main character relationship... i guess that should've gone as a fair warning but hey let's digress that 🫠

also chitra, bae this one's for you! (even if you would, like, barely appreciate my gratitude cause i firmly believe that 500 days of summer is a hidden gem of a film 🤌✨) still love you for being the best bud ever & let's pretend i didn't just admit that on gunpoint 🥹🫶

now that my not-so-little chat session is over, let's cheer to this! 🥂
happy reading!! 🤍
