do u think it’ll make sense for me to read the prequel story first and thennnn the other one u wrote first?? or no? I like doing that with books for some reason whenever there’s prequels but idk if it works like that or if I need something from the actual first one first ——— I've never had this asked before but actually, no. The prequels main characters are side characters in the OG story and its more of a coming of age. The OG story explains lore enough and has brief touches of what happened between Hyunjin and Minho sprinkled in. The prequel has very little involvement with the original BUT reading the prequel first won't ruin the OG story. It's preference. There is a little bit in the very beginning and very end that go to a time after the OG story but I don't think it's hard to follow. Both can be read as standalone, really.
