    Working-Class Mr. Ahnโ€™s Unscheduled Visits to Dr. Yeonโ€™s Clinic (Suho’s Post-Coma)

    โš ๏ธ Just a casual warning โ€“ if youโ€™re following along with Asuka and Jenโ€™s fictional arc and delusion interior series, consider yourself warned. Everything under my fanfiction tab is totally fictional. Thereโ€™s no need to get overly serious about any of it.


    Overview

    This post contains discussions between Asuka and Jennie about Weak Hero Class 1 fanfiction, character analysis, and their collaborative “deluluverse” stories regarding Suho’s post-coma.

    “Oh my god… I missed this detail… I missed this directing detail… You’re right sob the scene where Si-eun looks at Su-ho in a coma (sleeping beauty prince…) comes after he got admitted to the same hospital from the car accident…

    Right after, Su-ho suddenly got critical!! When Seong-je tailed Si-eun and barged into the hospital (?), looking back, Si-eun was texting outside Su-ho’s room,

    But I briefly wondered why he wasn’t going inside and just sitting in the hallway… but after seeing your comment, I get it now… he didn’t dare to look at Su-ho’s face… hah…”
