* Author's Note *

   (This is not an upload, as you guys can see from the title. This is just a word of gratitude for my readers).

   On May 2, 2020, I published the Introduction chapter of this book and then the Kpop Profiles chapter of Leela. This is really late but it's been a year since this story came to life!

   At first, I really struggled. I didn't know what to write and I wasn't getting that many reads or votes. Not even comments I was getting. I was always insecure of my writing and still am a bit. So when I first published this story, I was upset because I knew this story wasn't as good as many other people's stories. Everytime I uploaded, I would think I'm uploading for nothing. I always address my readers so I thought I was addressing nobody.

   I couldn't give up though no matter what I thought. I knew there might be someone out there reading and would be disappointed if I discontinued this. Eventually, I got reads and votes and soon enough, comments. More than ever, this story has been put in many people's reading lists. I got many requests from people who loved my story! Just recently, someone sent me a PM saying how much they love this story and that it was better than any Stray Kids story they've ever read. You know who you are. Thank you so much for brightening up my day with that PM.

   It's now a year later. This story has 26.4K reads. That is the most reads I've ever gotten. I really don't deserve this at all. Thank you all so much for all the love you've given this book. I know I have missed uploads and I apologize for that. I run out of ideas sometimes so I am so sorry about that.

   I've come so far with this story and I am so happy I am taking you all with me on this journey. You guys are just incredible. To celebrate this story making a year, I have officially come up with a fandom name for all my readers.

Rosalies!

   That's right! Rosalies! The name Rosalie means "flower of life." You guys give me and this story life. My story could not have been brought to life without you guys. You guys make everything complete. Thank you so much everyone. I love you all.
