Hey everyone, it's been awhile. If we really want to count how long "awhile" has been, I would say around 5 years since I started this fan fiction. A LOT has changed! I'm in college now, I'm a legal adult, and I'm still learning who I am and doing my best to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I wrote this book during a time where I needed it most. bts became a large, majority of my life—and they helped me bloom and grow into a better person. even despite the cheesiness, repetition, and niche throughout the book, I had a good time writing it. And especially with people who wanted to read more and more. Never in my life did I expect this to get to 1 million reads.

I don't follow kpop as much as I used to anymore, but I enjoy discovering new music by new artists and old artists, instead of stanning—I also don't have much time on my plate to do so.

Thank you. Words can't explain how gracious I am to be able to reach something like this—and "gracious" is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who read it, loved it, hated it, commented, voted... etc.

Tina.
