Chapter Five

All right, I said I’d be exploring their past, but frankly, their future is coming up too fast and I don’t want to fall too far behind. Laura often asked me what I thought during the course of the writing, and naturally I’d romanticize EVERYTHING. The way I see it, this is ideal Hanchul. People who look and talk like them, it’s almost like you automatically want them to be happy. I always imagined them in this neat, narrow little townhouse, snug but with lots of nooks and crannies. You know a guy like Hankyung has precision and well-developed taste. Maybe not as muted lighting and soft pastels as some of these pictures suggest, but everything is still very Scandavian, clean and domestic. I mean, what does love look like? Except, you know, picturesque.
