●A/N, we're at 100 parts! Yay! This story still has between 10 - 30 Chapters left, but then it will be ending. I hope I am doing it justice. I know that some had hoped for more Felix or Changbin, it's just been very difficult to do each character justice at the same time, and I really wanted the ending to feel like Juno's book.
●I've been on Wattpad for almost a year now. It was my goal to dedicate myself to being an author for a year, and it's been really exciting and I'm honestly shocked that anyone reads my stories.
●Also, I might write again in the future after this book finishes, but it would be random and sporadic updates to this story. Basically, come June at the absolute latest, I won't be active on Wattpad.
●Anyway, love you all! Enjoy the chapter. 🥰

Late June, 2040
"Dad, please!" Juno begged.
"No."
"Why can't I?! I'm not that young?" Juno whined.
"Oh, really? Do you know how to take care of yourself without my help?"
"Well, mostly." Juno said.
Hyunjin shook his head. "I don't mean when I'm at work. I mean that you have yet to learn how to survive on your own, and therefore, you are not ready to take care of another human being. So, no. You will not be allowed to date until you are an adult."
"Well, I don't have to take care of her! It's literally just like going out and maybe kissing. It's not a big deal!" Juno explained.
"No. Because dating isn't a game. It is serious, and it IS a big deal. It's a step toward marriage, and you are certainly too young. What you should be focusing on is developing yourself. Work on yourself so that you're your own person. And once you're an adult, if you like this girl and you want to be more than friends, then you'll be ready to take that on." Hyunjin explained.
Juno groaned.
"And I know it seems like the end of the world right now, but Juno, trust me... It's because you're hormonal. When you're young, you tend to make decisions based on emotions. But that's not the wise thing to do. I know it's tempting. I know what you feel. I remember. But just think, if you start dating and start taking further steps like kissing and making out, it won't be long until you try to take it a step further. And you most CERTAINLY are not ready for sex."
Juno huffed. "But dad.... It's just so hard!" He said sadly.
Hyunjin tilted Juno's chin up. "Listen to me, buddy. It's hard. You're right. It's very difficult. Everyone wants to be in a relationship when they're young. But if there's one thing that horny young guys need to learn, it's self-control. You can control yourself. You can be patient. You can become best friends with Zoey without putting any moves on her yet. And it'll be worth it. If you guys do date in the future, it'll be something you both waited for and earned, which will make it feel that much more special. You'll be closer emotionally, and then you can get closer romantically. Does that make sense?"
