We all grieve differently. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. All of your feelings are valid. There are fans who are choosing to try to not be sad and look to the happiness of welcoming them home. And there are those who can't get past the sadness of letting them go for 18 months. I'm still in the "can't let him/them go" phase. It appears that you are as well. That's fine. In order to deal with that sadness I'm choosing to start a JK journal once he enlists. I'm going to write my thoughts down each and every day he's gone. I think the best way to deal with grief is to acknowledge your hurt and express your emotions. It's not good to leave them bottled up inside you. I'm famous for doing that, and then I just wind up exploding. So for me, the best way to express those emotions is to write them down. Even if it's just one or two lines on a page, at least I'm expressing how I feel. I don't know if you keep a journal, but if not, maybe that is something that could help you deal with your sadness.

what you said here is so beautiful! I feel hugged by you. thank you so much. I think what you said is something so comforting to do and I'm going to try to do it. I feel like I'm better at getting my feelings out by talking about them than writing them down. but I will definitely try to do it. thank you. ♡

If you watch one episode of Run BTS a day, it's about six months. I'm playing a numbers game. There is so much content to watch. So if you watch one thing a day, by they time you're done it will June 2025! LOL That's what I'm doing anyway.

You have no idea how tempted I am. I have intentionally not watched things like the Bon Voyage and half the movies just so I can experience them for the first time while the boys are gone. So it still feels like new content for me. I haven’t seen half the Run BTS’s and while I thought I was missing out. I’m actually happy I’ve held off. This is a great suggestion too. Thank you!!!

Well damn that drabble was sad. But I'm glad we got to see JK's thoughts. You know, this story could easily be one of those stories where the main guy and girl don't wind up together. Those stories break my heart. The writer and reader spend so much time becoming emotionally invested in the characters, just for them to wind up not getting a happy ending. I know you've said it would be a happy ending. But from the position the two of them are in, especially him, neither one of them have any hope of getting back together. Each of them are thinking about how to move forward without the other. It's sad to read, because I really can't begin to think about what could possibly bring them back together. And if their reunion is years down the line, it's plausible that one of them would find someone else to love instead. You know those stories where they get reunited and one of them has a fiance. Those hurt the most.

erica, omg. hahahah. i'm sorry! we're still in our sad boy/sad girl era :') oof--ngl i have a love/hate relationship with those stories. like it hurts so good and you're rooting for the two mains, but life happens and one moves onto other things.

i know it seems like there's no hope for them to get back together (hehe that's my intention) but have no fear, there will be an opportunity to rekindle things :) will it be easy for them, though? probably not :')

and when TIU is done, i'll talk a little bit about what i originally wanted for the ending and it was something along the lines of one of them moving on w/o the other.

Found your blog on a recommendation for Whose Idea Was It, Though? It was so good. I kinda wish it was a longer one shot. I'm so curious to see all the annoying things he did to her that led up to her taking him as her plus one. For being super annoying, he sure is hot!!

Omggg hiiii darling! Thank you so much the feedback. It makes me really happy you enjoyed this fic. Actually, that would be so great! The brain is thinking things. I would gladly be writing more to this…maybe even their first date (;

[hisunshiine]

Oh damn that ending! I wonder what she's thinking now that he might actually bring another girl to the wedding. I hope there is going to be a conversation after everyone leaves. Is she really going to let him take another girl and not say anything to him? Is he going to bring it up after everyone leaves? I really hope he asks her to go with him. Someone has to make the first move. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Hi! Ahhhhhh I wish I could tell you what happens now! I’m always so bad with waiting and always want to give surprises and presents early 😭 but I’m going to practice restraint this time and hopefully 🤞🏽 you will enjoy the last 3 installments!!

Thank you so much for reading!!! It means a lot!

[sxtaep]

I am about to start Illicit Desires, because so many of your followers comment about it. I want to see what I'm missing! LOL I feel like it's gonna be a really good ride.

AHEKEHWH please 😭😭😭 don’t get your hopes up, it may be very poorly written and there’s just too much smut in it fr 😭😱

i hope you enjoy it though 🤭

I have dry eyes too, but it's from wearing contacts for 20+ years plus I look at a computer screen all day. I would suggest that you go for a eye exam. They can give you stronger eye drops than what you buy in the store. Dry eyes can be a sign of something worse. But if you look at a computer/cell phone all day, it could be from that. My eye doctor has told me many times that you blink less when you look at electronic devices, which dry your eyes out. I use Systane drops. That is the only brand my eye doctor has ever recommended. They are very good lubricating drops.

yeah, i use systane drops bc that's what my optometrist recommended (twice within 4 momths 😭). it's gotten so bad that my eyes can't go without it for even hours... i'll try another doc, too :( thank you, love 🤍

I really enjoyed the first chapter of Blame Me. I hope your inspiration for the story returns so you're able to put out more chapters. It's really well written and I'm enjoying all the characters so far. I already get the feeling that Jungkook has or has had feelings for OC. I'm looking forward to watching their story unfold.

Hello!! 💜

Thank you so much for reading Blame Me!! The fact that you find it entertaining and well-written means so so much to me because I had to really put a lot of effort into getting it out of my head and onto the page, and I had some real doubts about posting it!

I'm so glad you're enjoying the characters- they are my favorite thing about this fic. They all have so much life and shape in my mind, and I'm trying my best to do them justice!

I'm getting a lot more time to write and think about writing lately, so there will definitely be another update on the horizon after I tend to a couple of other projects.

Thank you so much for the feedback, it means everything to me and gives me so much motivation to move forward with this story and these characters!! 💕💕💕

Just finished the new installment of TD&HK. They were doing so well together through the whole chapter, and then that ending happened. I'm so sad now. I felt really bad for him. He thinks that she doesn't want him and has completely withdrawn. She's gonna be so hurt thinking that she doesn't mean anything to him. I guess the next chapter is gonna have some angst. Is it the last chapter?

hello, dearest reader! 🥺 yes, that is absolutely true, she's gonna be really hurt :( and the next chapter will contain that hurt in BULK, so it will def be very angst-heavy :(

i am not fully certain if it'll be the last chapter, tbh. i do plan to make it the final one, but i have quite a few things in mind that i'd like to do with these characters, including exploring things separately w their povs. so if all of that clutters the next part, i will extend the series to a sixth chapter! :D

thank you so much for reading and leaving me your very valuable feedback! sending you love! 🥺❤

I was just able to read Unfinished Business, and I was nervous about reading it based on the asks you've been getting. My heart was kinda sad at the end. I was hoping JK and Lia would be solid now and live happily ever after, but I guess angst is coming. It has to be a member's girlfriend, and if so he lied to her when he told her he hasn't seen her for years. I think she's gonna be upset when she finds out it's someone close to her. Plus, how uncomfortable is she going to be having to see the woman that JK loved (still has feelings for?) quite frequently. Lia is gonna be constantly questioning whether he's looking at the other woman when they're in the same room instead of Lia, or if he's talking to her, what they're saying. There is going to be a constant sense of jealously and distrust for Lia. And I'm sure whatever member it is doesn't know about JK's feelings for his girlfriend, so that's gonna put a strain on their friendship when he finds out. I feel very anxious for what is to come for them.

Aww, I get it. It was definitely an uncomfortable ending with a lot of open questions. I’ll let readers infer what Lia (and Jungkook) might be feeling at the moment. As to whether there will be trust issues in their future, it depends on how Lia finds out and whether Jungkook is open with her. Who the girl is, what their situation is now - that will be revealed in time. As for the member… I won’t reveal too much, but he probably does suspect Jungkook’s feelings to some extent.

All will make sense in time! Thank you for reading and reviewing <3

I think we all needed Hours after JK felt the need to come out of the woodwork and ruin us for the last couple of days! Also, if that's you being rusty at smut, please feel free to stay rusty for a while, because it was smokin' hot! I mean, that was some smutty goodness!

Listen, I totally agree. I felt obligated to write that drabble lol. And aww, thank you! I've been hating my writing a lot lately which made me so unmotivated but I have to say that while I was writing I was like "okay girl, you might not be so bad" lol. I'm so glad you liked it. 🥹💞🥰

[jung-koook]

They're gonna keep us so busy with content, we won't have time to miss them! LOL I figured it out, and if you watch one episode of Run BTS a day, it will take you about 6 months to finish. So all you need to do is watch all episodes of Run BTS three times, and that will be 18 months!

omg you're amazing lkaslkaslkas run bts is such a comforting show that I think it is a good choice for us to watch when we are missing them and even when we are not feeling down and sad. also watch their docu and some other old content. 🥹😭

[orchidyoonkook]

Aww, chapter 5 was a bit painful. I feel so bad for both of them. I think if I were OC, I would have had a bit more to say to JK about Adaline. I think I would have said something along the lines of he'll come to regret the decision of dating her. I probably would have also said that it might be the end of the road for her and JK's friendship. There is no way Adaline is going to let JK hang out with OC now that she has her claws in him. So JK will lose OC. I think maybe that would have gotten his attention if OC said that to him. So much angst. My heart hurts for both of them. I think the best thing that OC can do for herself is to distance herself from him. How can you watch someone you care about date someone who is a leach? I certainly couldn't.

I wonder what will happen once Nell arrives. Is their relationship going to still be good? If not, and they break up, I wonder how that will affect JK's decision now that the girl he wants is suddenly single. I'm really looking forward to Chapter 6.

Omg Erica *SOBBSSSS* look at your beautiful commentary. I'm gunna talk a lot so:

Aww, chapter 5 was a bit painful. I feel so bad for both of them.

Me too. Being put between a rock and a hard place sucks so much, but it happens :/

I think if I were OC, I would have had a bit more to say to JK about Adaline. I think I would have said something along the lines of he'll come to regret the decision of dating her. I probably would have also said that it might be the end of the road for her and JK's friendship.

This is seeming to be the common reaction from this chapter in regards to how OC reacts to the news. A lot of wonderful folks such as yourself would've said something instead of keeping quiet and honestly, I love that for you guys. I love that we're setting boundaries for ourselves in OC's place. Way to kick ass.

Unfortunately, OC and certain types of boundaries aren't great friends yet, and it's starting to show.

There is no way Adaline is going to let JK hang out with OC now that she has her claws in him. So JK will lose OC. I think maybe that would have gotten his attention if OC said that to him.

Will she even find out though? Wasn't OC's only rule that no one know? Wonder how JK will deal with that little road bump in his new relationship.

But I will agree that it definitely would get his attention if OC said that.

So much angst. My heart hurts for both of them. I think the best thing that OC can do for herself is to distance herself from him.

Literally so much, my heart hurts too. Writing it hurt. And I guess we'll have to see how OC copes with this change.

How can you watch someone you care about date someone who is a leach? I certainly couldn't.

I agree, but I also think that OC realises, while they are very close, they've still only known each other for a short while, and doesn't really think she can have a say in something like this without thinking she's crossing a line she hasn't earned yet.

I wonder what will happen once Nell arrives. Is their relationship going to still be good? If not, and they break up, I wonder how that will affect JK's decision now that the girl he wants is suddenly single.

Only chapter six will tell ;)

I'm really looking forward to Chapter 6.

THANK YOU. omg this made me squeal when I got it. Thank you for reading and always providing commentary. It makes this whole writing thing so much more fun. I hope chapter six lives up to your expectations!

I adore you.

50% of me feels bad for OC, and the other 50% of me wants to slap her upside the head. On one hand, I understand why she's so upset. He broke her trust plain and simple, and that's a huge no no for her. But trust can be rebuilt. And she didn't even give him a chance to rebuild it. She just cut her losses and ran for the hills! And now she's all mopey and hittin' the bottle. What the hell did she expect?? She didn't leave him because she fell out of love with him. She still has the same exact romantic feelings that she had for him before she found out what happened with Alex. And that is what makes me want to slap her upside the head. She did this to herself and now she's wallowing in self pity. She makes me feel very frustrated, among other emotions. But when characters make you feel many different emotions, it's the sign of a fully fleshed out character. So I certainly appreciate how well you've written her. At least this chapter has the happy baby event! It wasn't all doom and gloom. So the next chapter is 6 months in advance right? Are there going to be any chapters from JK's point of view in LA? I really want to know his thoughts and how he's doing from his perspective, not just what his friends and family are saying about him. They don't really know his inner thoughts. If not, maybe you could do it as a drabble after the story is over.

Erica, can I just say I always look forward to your comments? 😅

Also, I'm very happy I can make you frustrated with OC. 🤣 She's never been good with dealing with and confronting her emotions, not one bit! She thinks no one will understand the depth of who she is, or somehow that she'll be misinterpreted if she were to show her true self. She'd rather run, bury everything than have to rebuild that trust. All I can say is that her bestie will grow tired of her wallowing in self-pity and give her the wake-up call she needs 👀

And yes, baby Indie is here 🥹🥹 she'll be a fun addition to Yuna and Namjoon's story.

The next update will be six months later. We'll see how she's doing (probably not good 👀 she loves to self deprecate) YES!! I added a JK drabble to my list and we'll get see how he's doing (hint: he's better at picking himself back up).

Again, thank you for reading!! I really appreciate your thoughts. 💖

Hi there! I found your stories recently. Are you still planning on doing a second part to A Date With Destiny?

Hi!

I don't think I will be writing that second part in the near future, sorry about that :)

[hisunshiine]

Aww, I loved the final chapter! My heart kind of broke when JK came in to the ceremony with So Hee. I felt so bad for OC, but I knew there had to be more to the story. Her speech to him on the dance floor was heartbreaking too. She was willing to put aside her own feelings so he could be happy with So Hee, not realizing the full story. And I loved the scene in the bridal suite. It was sweet and romantic and hot all at the same time. So Hee turned into such a bitch at the end. I'm glad OC whacked her, even if she ended up with a broken hand. I think it might have been worth it! I'm so sad this story is over! I loved every minute of it. I hope you decide to do some drabbles in the future about them!

I am so happy that you enjoyed the ending! I wanted it to definitely still have that angst, but with some good surprises mixed in. hopefully it wasn't too confusing with the POV switches to explain what happened!! Thank you for reading, i truly appreciate you! have an amazing weekend!
