#ron66

welcome back, sweet author! 🫶🏻 I just got home from Seoul the day before yesterday and jetlag has been relentless, but getting to read the delicious new chapter has softened the blow for sure.

It’s fun watching MC fill in the blanks for all of the questions she hasn’t allowed herself to linger on up until this point. Also watching her unwittingly unfurl like a new blossoming flower in the light of the idea of being their boys’ soulmate, resistant as she is for very real and understandable reasons.

I’m glad Hyunjin was the one that went after her. In her current mental state, nerves raw and exposed, I feel he has the most naturally gentle touch to soothe her without being too much. Like her own personal balm. While I’m sure the others also want to comfort her in any way they can, I feel their flavors of desperation might be too abrasive like rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, whereas Hyunjin’s brand of romanticism and sensitivity makes him more like aloe.

I’m looking forward to all of the ways the boys will express what they feel for MC and HOW they feel it, without this secret holding them back anymore.

I’m curious if we’ll get any side drabble of the boys POV when Hyunjin goes after MC? Or more specifically, when he shows back up after being gone so long smelling like her 😮‍💨 Of course as always you don’t have to answer, I’m more so (wishfully) thinking out loud.

I do hope you’re doing well. Not to pry for specifics, but I saw you mention in your notes that life has been difficult lately. I hope things start looking up 🫶🏻 If you need to take more time off to deal with things, the readers that care and support you will still be here waiting.

Sidebar, when I was in Seoul I stopped by Lotte Star Avenue to see the boys’ handprints! Comparing hand sizes with them was a bucket list item of mine. I’m glad I got the opportunity 💕

If you’re curious, for research purposes 🙂‍↕️, from biggest hands to smallest:

Hyunjin > Seungmin > I.N > Changbin > Bang Chan > Han > Lee Know > Felix

Hi hi! Omggg welcome homeeeee 🥰 I hope you had fun!

I didn't tag RON with "unreliable narrator" because I'm a little stubborn about the tag in general (I love an unreliable narrator! But in some ways are we not all unreliable... I end up tagging things like VNM, where the narrator lies to you, as unreliable, and things like RON, where the narrator just dodges and avoids, as not) BUT one thing I really love about this part of the story is the reveal that MC has in fact been thinking about the soulmate thing hahahaha. All those months of readers calling her dumb for not seeing the signs... And I bit my tongue.... 😭 I mean I guess she didn't commit to the idea! But if it was me in an 8 vs 1 "are we soulmates" situationship mental battle I would also gaslight myself I think 🧍

....I'm rambling! My point is I've also liked her filling in the blanks, so I'm relieved to hear it! It's fun that she's kind of given herself permission to think about it now hahahaha

I think the guilt and responsibility that MC feels for Hyunjin is helping him out a lot here 😆 What she says here -- "You’ve never wanted to break anyone’s heart — but certainly, you’ve never wanted to break Hyunjin’s" -- is a lot of it, to me! I agree that I think this would have gone very differently with literally any other boy

"when he shows back up after being gone so long smelling like her" I hadn't considered it before but this actually sounds really fun 👀

My best friend/anchor (they're like my Soohyun. or maybe I'm like their Soohyun, and they're like my MC...??? 😆) might be dying right now, so everything has been very week-by-week, to be honest! Once when I was a kid I got my leg tangled in kelp, and in that first moment before I looked down I thought it was just my board leash, before I remembered I'd stopped tying my board to my leg a few weeks ago because it kept hitting me in the head when I knocked out. Sometimes having fun doing anything feels like that moment all over again, hahahaha -- looking down and expecting to see what you always see, but you're drowning and you just don't know it yet

...Which is very dramatic! I haven't been talking about this a lot 🧍 What I wanted to say is I'm just going to take weeks off when I need to, and generally keep trying to do the best I can 🙆

Omggg you saw them!! Are these the ones they did when they were pretty young...? I wonder if they've changed at all 🤔

I've just caught up! I'm half glad/sad I didn't have to wait as long as others between chapters because man… Ch 65😭

We are hitting paydirt in the angst mines 😔 She's sad & mad, and the boys are stuck dealing the fallout. 😭 As usual, it's always so fun to read the differences in how each boy reacts to MC, from begging, to arguing, to borderline gaslighting (IN with the "It's fine we lied though?"). The way I felt everyone's desperation to try and get her to stay just a second longer… 😭😭 Both sides had very valid opinions and feelings, which makes the angst so good imo

Ok onto slightly happier times in the most recent chapter…

Hyunjin! I really like how you described the chapter as weird magnetism! I think that vibe has come across since he ran into MC at the cafe! But also a little bit more world building! Bond sickness?? 🥺 I'm ready for the messy, sexy (and probably angsty) in-between before the happy ever after 😝🫡

🖐️💙

Hellooooo!

I cannot lie, I love a manipulative (fictional) man, and RON!Innie has his moments... Someone actually said that last chapter was kind of toxic and it made me laugh, LOL. Here is your regular reminder that fiction is not real life and none of you should take relationship tips from RON 😆😆

I did really like writing all of them with MC in ch65 though! I think I've mentioned this before so sorry if I'm repeating myself, but it's hard juggling everyone in group scenes -- but also satisfying, I think, when it works out 😊 I can look back on it and go woahhh my charts and lists were worth it... good job past Inso... you worked hard...

"I think that vibe has come across since he ran into MC at the cafe" This is nice to hear 💛 I love when relationships have a distinct through-line

Chapter 66?? With my bias??? Diabolical.

I wonder if the other members can feel anything through the bond while MC and Jinnie… Mhmm Mhmm? I hope they do. Them sitting devastated thinking it’s over and then suddenly get that feeling of hope… And get hard 🤣 I image them being all over Hyunjin when he gets back, haha.

I KNEW IT. I FUCKIN KNEW IT. Jeongin’s playground.

As much as I love seeing pretty men beg… The way you write smut is so delicious.

Hell, how am I going to survive until next Monday?? 😭 I have RON sickness.

Posting Hyunjin things is very rewarding because Hyunjin biases are so sweet to me most of the time hahahaha 🫶

The bond connection is really erratic without a proper bonding bite, sooo it's possible, but probably unlikely? 🤔 It's fun to picture though, I agree LOL

i’ve been so busy recently and haven’t had a chance to chat about the last few chapters but they have all been so good 😭 seungmin saying he would quit in the last chapter was so emotional. honestly, the whole of last chapter was so emotional. between jisung and felix trying to get her to stay and the others not being able to say anything to her and her giving back the key card. it was just so emotional. then cut to this week and it’s still emotional but they start making out so it’s getting better in my mind 🥹🫣

anyway, thank you so much for continuing to share your story! as a longtime fanfiction reader (and writer never to see the light of day) putting your work out like this takes so much courage. i saw that there were people being rude to you, and i’m so sorry you are dealing with that! they are just jealous because they know they couldn’t write something a fraction as good and want to put you down because of that. just remember, there are so many people who love your writing and wish nothing but the best for you! 💜💜

until next time 💜

There's never any pressure!! But I'm glad to hear you liked it regardless 🥰

"cut to this week and it’s still emotional but they start making out so it’s getting better in my mind" This made me laugh hahahaha 💛 When I was first talking about the angst mines I actually considered last chapter to be the end of it exactly because this chapter feels a little less suffocatingly sad, I think! But as I kept writing I was like hm... let's not be hasty.... 🧍

I think when people are rude to me here it probably isn't about me most of the time 😅 Not that that makes it feel better, but...! But it's sweet of you to say, thank you 😊 I hope, if you ever want to, that you can find courage to share your fic as well

New chapter dropped. I realised it was RON day when it started but I fully forget until i got the notif

Sweet loving amazing writer Inso

What a banger of a chapter!(pun...slightly intended i guess?)

I love Hyunjin and Y/N's bond a LOT. He's very intense, such a romantic but also the most..hmm yearning out of the bunch I'd say? So they fact that he went after her, got her to agree to a ride home..and then the bond just took over

Bond sickness?! Poor Jin...i bet thats what our MC went through as well..even if she cant say it yet..can she be bonded without a bondmark???? Anyways!

I love how you wrote that natural attraction and curiosity they both have for each other. Lil skittish bunny meets very eager to please hare hyunjin! Thats the mental image my brain gave. Hyunijin doing a thumper impression and if he had a paw it would be thumping happily away on that floorboard of the car.

The romance, the fluff. Yes she's still hesistant..but SHES NOT RUNNING. She is having so much character progression these past few chapters, im proud of our lil traumatised MC(as someone who also doesnt trust men easily anymore...its healing...like really really healing so thank you Inso)

And its a TWO PARTER? I'm calling it now..they'll both be scent drunk after this and neither will be able to move. So either

A: MC misses her move day and Yuri gets pissed and finds her at the pack house

Or

B: Big scary pack alpha Chan has to pick up his lost lil ducklings and get them both home. Yn to her apartment and Hyunjin to the pack house

Both fun options..both have complication OOH im excited

Hope you had a lovely lil week hiatus and have had a good weekend inspiring, heal inducing writer Inso ^^

I will talk to you again after next chapter. Byeee

P.S: hope youre still enjoying the process of writing RON, dont let the haters get you down. You got this!

Hellooooo! I'm glad you like their bond 🥰 All of them yearn a lot but Hyunjin wears his very openly, and I also think MC thinks of him as someone to be fragile with, which means she goes along with things more with him than with some of the others (Hyunjin probably knows this)

There's more talk about the bond sickness/pseudo-bond soulmate stuff later! 🙆

Hahaha fun and complications go together! Sometimes the best thing that can happen in a story is also the worst thing 💛 Though obviously I won't comment on your guesses for now

It's honestly been a little difficult to keep up and have fun with all the things I want to right now (not strictly because of haters LOL. though I guess that doesn't help), but I'm planning to take more breaks and generally take my time with things for the next little while, which I'm hoping will make it easier 😊
