Hello all my amazing readers! This letter is belated at best and I apologize for that. I'm sure many of you have been wondering : What happened to me? Where am I? Why haven't I updated in so long?

The short answer is, life happened to me. I moved back across the country to live with my dad and stepmom, and while writing is something I will always have time for, writing fan fiction has faded out of importance for me.

July of last year I moved to another state with my mother and her on-and-off boyfriend, who was twenty years younger than her. I was was nineteen, and thought I was making a good choice. Looking back on it, I can not believe how stupid I was.

But, live and learn, and I have learned so much in the year I spent living with the two most toxic and incapable people in my life.

I will spare the details, but my living conditions, having to witness and clean up after explosive arguments between them, barter with them to make up, get threatened many times by my mom's boyfriend that he was going to kick us out. Those are just some of the things I dealt with during that time. My mental health was very bad, I was suicidal more often than not, and I had developed an eating disorder. 

 All that being said, I have made a pretty awesome recovery after getting back home and being around people who care for and support me in a helpful and constructive way. So don't worry about me, it is (very thankfully) in the past.

Writing and posting my fics was an outlet that I became very focused on in order to tune out the problems in my life. All the positive feedback and funny comments gave me a feeling of being appreciated, at least by someone, even if I didn't know all of you. And I can't thank you enough for reading and loving my work <3

I moved back this July, and now that I live with my dad, internet and cell service are not exactly a given for me, due to my stepmother's old fashioned preferences (we also live way out in the sticks).

I have been thinking for months now that I should really post an explanation for my disappearance, after receiving emails about you guys commenting. So I recently went on wattpad for the first time in a while to take a look and WOW! I can't believe BOUND has racked up 15k reads! And almost a thousand votes? You guys are amazing indeed. There were so many comments too, and I knew then that I had to write this.

To be honest, don't listen to Kpop very often anymore, while I'll probably always adore my favorite idols, my taste has changed, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't see myself focusing on writing fan fiction again anytime soon, with my jobs, and school starting next January (cosmetology) I have a lot less free time. The free time I do have, I spend on things that are more important to me, like my original works (I am still an aspiring author after all!)

However, I want to extend an invitation for anyone out there who may want to adopt one of my stories! I would be more than happy to see someone continue BOUND or any one of my fics for that matter, so don't be shy if that's something you are interested in <3

On that note, for you all, and anyone needing a little something to help them continue a story of mine, I am posting all unreleased content, including all my personal plotting and planning for BOUND and My best friend's boyfriend.

I hope it will be fun for you to see, even if it's not a proper end to the story.  If you read this whole letter, thanks, you're the best :)

Thank you all again for being there through the toughest part of my life so far, and with that, signing off.

With love as always,

Haneul
