《What Am I {J.J.K. FF}(#wattys2018)》MESSED UP

'Then, should i write goodbye letters or just leave them unalarmed? I think i should. But they will ask too many questions.'
I think to myself like that for 5 minutes until now. I really can't decide things on my own.
Hyesung is asking Jungkook to go back with her, which means, they will date again.
I really love him but, if Hyesung is the one who could make him smile, why not?
I can't force my love to him, neither he can't be forced to love me.
If leaving him is the best choice, then i don't have any reasons to stay with him.
I think i'll risk it all just to see him smiling happily, without a frown, or covering his true self, or faking his expressions.
Maybe i fell for him too hard until the point where i want to see him smile because of me, showering kisses on my face, starting and ending my day with seeing his face, massaging him when he's tired, taking care of him when he's sick, cuddling with him, watch movies with him.
Walking down the aisle seeing him in a black tuxedo, waiting for me with the bunny smile carved on his face.
But i know that wasn't meant for me and for him.
Even though the whole world support us, we can't.
There's no point in marrying the boy you've dreamed to be with for the rest of your life but he doesn't want the same thing to happen with you.
There's no point in pretending to be extremely happy but on the inside you feel empty.
There's no fairness in it.
I split my heart into two pieces, for me and for him.
But he split it again into thousands of pieces, for his side chicks and his special one.

Before all of that happens, we know that one of us has to stop it.
Before it's all too late.
So, i decided to step up and end all of this.
Before we end up hurting ourselves.
A knock from the door wake me up from my day dreaming.
"Baram? May i come in?" Hyesung asked from outside.
"Of course." i answered.
She opens the door while smiling happily and suddenly changes to a frown.
"Why are you crying?" she asked.
"Wha-" i touched my cheeks and i realized some of my tears fall.
"I also don't know." i said confusedly.
"Baram. If there's something bothering you, just tell me. I'm always here."
"I really don't know. I was just day dreaming thinking about whether to write some letters to my friends or not." i answer.
"Really? Nothing else?"
"I swear." There is something else.
"There's something suspicious going on here. I saw your weird smile. What's happening right now? Tell me." i changed the topic.
"Well, guess what?"
"What?"
"Jungkook and i are going back together again!" she cheered happily.
"Really?! Congrats gurl!" i smiled.
"May i come in?" i heard a familiar voice.
"H-huh? Who's there?" i asked.
"Euhh, it's Jungkook. Earlier when we talked, he said that he wants to apologize." Hyesung said.
I froze. I really can't see him right now. This wrecked side of me can't be seen by him.
"P-please tell him just to talk there outside. I heard him. Please i just don't want to see his-"
"Sshhhh. Okay, okay. I heard you. Just let me talk to him for a sec." Hyesung cut me off.
"T-thanks." i whispered.
My head started to hurt again but i shrugged it off, trying to heard what he want to say.

"Baram. I know that you liked me. I know that you're not a bad person. I'm just a very stubborn person because i don't listen to your explanation first and just jumping to conclusions without knowing the truth.
Then i start to hurt you without know how it really feels. I'm sorry that i've hurt you too many times. I'm sorry that can't give back your feelings. I'm really sorry that i don't feel the same to you. I'm sorry-"
I already sobbed like a crazy, mad person.
"P-please s-stop already. I-i can't take it a-anymore. J-just go home. IF YOU'RE JUST PLAYING WITH MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW, JUST GO! DON'T THINK THAT I'M FRAGILE JUST BECAUSE I'M SICK RIGHT NOW! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT?! I'M HEALTHY RIGHT NOW! DON'T MAKE ME BECOME YOUR LAUGHING TOY!" I bursted out crying.
I can't believe that i just cut all of my ties with him. Am i ready to let him go? Am i ready to have other guy in the future hold my hand?
"B-baram." Hyesung's cracked voice make my attention's all on her.
"Why? Why do you shout at him? All he ever want is to apologize to you! Not your shouting! Not an argument!" she walked out and stopped at the door.
"Two more thing. If you think you messed up big time, you are. Work your temper. Don't be an emotional person. No one likes seeing your true self." she said and left.
"What?! Wait no!"
I cried and cried. How easy for them to left me just like that. How hard for me to open up to them and give my heart to them, just to be shattered into a million pieces.
Again.
"AAARRGHHHH! IS THIS EVEN FAIR?! THEN GO! GO AWAY FROM MY LIFE ALL OF YOU! F**K THIS INFUS! JUST LET ME DIE ALREADY!" I screamed on top of my lungs and pull the infus away from my hand.
"Aishh!" i hissed at the pain.
Then my head starting to pound again like crazy and i started to lose my vision.
Just in time, the nurses rushed in.
"F. U. C. K. O. F. F.!" I screamed and pushed them away so they won't be able to put the infus into my hand again.
I use all of my strength until my body started to hurt everywhere.
"Please. Don't. Save. Me." i managed to say these words before i blacked out.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
