So i didnt know that cinlok is the same term for "forced proximity". the first time i found this term, it was on tiktok and it was a person who commented like "forced proximity isnt real" to a content about someone finding her coworker cute. and i was like "hold on, what do you mean forced proximity? sounds very technical to me. then i did some research on tiktok, and it was about 2 people forced to be in a situation or place for a longer time, and it make them very close in physically and emotionally. then they're finally got bond together, in romantic or friendship way. ( dipseastories.com ) it can be being in a the same team, workplace, or school. being a roomates or contract marriage. and it can be going in a trip together. oh i almost forgot, a kidnapping trope... anyway i found it interesting because, almost all romance stories that i know used this kind of trope. even there was a story about friendship with this trope like LOTR . but forced proximit...
