Landing in Your Inbox Special: Memory

It all started with piano, and a lot of time.

October 19, 2020 was a Monday. People were farming hearts for the chocheolgang voting app and people were getting frustrated because the idols were running over the actors for some awards. The CLOYtober fan event was running on Twitter and "piano" was the prompt of the day. I was looking at the entries and sort of hoping there were more.

I can't pinpoint how and when exactly "imagine Seri and Jeong-hyeok chatting on reddit" happened but I think I was looking back to how Seri remembered those few notes in the drama and how she searched high and low for the source. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary if she tried to have it identified in a public forum and reddit was immediately the first in my mind. What if someone responds? So I thought of reimagining those scenes with Sang-woo and Jeong-hyeok in a thread format. The lines would mostly be the same and I'm just going to layout them so it follows the sequence of a discussion and I was just going to give them user pics. For that, I just looked for their best 1x1 photos, and for our mysterious pianist, he wouldn't bother with one naturally.

I worked on it for about an afternoon, looking around reddit then cutting and pasting in a horrendous frankenstein fashion but managed to finish 2 screenshots. It's okay, I don't have to work with them again anyway, etc etc. I thought if they made people smile, then I've done my job. What I didn't expect was a clamor for a sequel and I thought I was in trouble lol.
