Downpour | Kim Taehyung

➴ notes, explanations, etc.

Here is a page of things you might (or might not) want to know about Downpour ✧ like maybe a trivia, random info and the like.

1. There wasn't supposed to be a baby in this book (*cue in the gasps*) Aeri wasn't supposed to be here, but instead, on the sequel of my other book which I unpublished.

2. In addition to 1, the story was supposed to be set in college. Following the same plot where Taehyung had left Kyungmin. But things happened...and I guess that was a good thing.

3. On a different plot, which I didn't pursue on writing, I planned Aeri to have a disease of some sort, but I couldn't just you know... *whispers* kill her off. I mean, how could you even? I know, for the angst, that would be great. But no. I'm sorry. Besides, that would be too much for Kyungmin. I don't know if she'd be able to keep herself sane after that. But yeah, imagine Aeri dead and everyone devastated. I'd probably be sulking in a corner that I won't be able to write after that.

4. All members of Bangtan had their own roles, and although Yoongi is here, not once had I mentioned his name. Did you notice? (hehehe) bet some of you did not even notice Yoongi was here until the epilogue (or not at all) hmmm...

5. I plotted this book twice with the college setting, then completely revamped it to the current concept. After so, I practically revised it like four times—in two different versions, Aeri died. I also had to stop myself—a lot—from making this angst.

6. I didn't make Taehyung leave or make them have some sort of fight for them to separate ways because I doubt Kyungmin would ever trust Taetae anymore if he does. He left for a long time, and Kyungmin went through a lot. That would bring so much back to her. Again, let Kyungmin be at peace, please. So yeah, I'm sorry if there wasn't much drama as you had expected. I love my characters and treat them my babies, I'm sorry for spoiling them.

7. Chuwon wasn't supposed to be that bad omg I don't even know what happened to him ;-; (lol as if I was not the one who materialized his character, but let's pretend hehehehe)

No one ever reads notes at the end of a book, so if you're here, I congratulate and thank you! Thank you sooooo much! ♡

You guys are one of the greatest blessings God has given me.

Your author is just really fond of talking to her readers and is such a fan of notes (which you probably all know by now), and barely anyone cares, but that doesn't stop me (ha ha ha)

I hadn't been on this site for a long time, and recently, I came back wanting to write again. But no matter what I start with, I always ended up deleting them. I felt unsatisfied even with my completed works I had here before and unpublished them. I lost confidence in writing, I felt like everything I write was crap.

But this book gave me a new perspective in writing again. I enjoyed writing it, and felt satisfied seeing people appreciate it as well. Hence, this book is very dear to me ♡

And I owe most of it to my readers especially those who kept on encouraging me and left their comments along the way. Even at some point on this book, I felt like I hit on a wall again, but y'all keep on surprising me with your feedback. Especially how this book kept climbing up the rankings! WOW.

It started to dawn on me that it didn't matter if there are those who wouldn't want to read it; what is important is that, somehow, I am able to make someone smile with my work. While at the same time, I also love what I am doing.

Am I still even making sense? Hahaha. The thing is, I'm just so grateful to everyone who supported me along the way.

I did not even expect that I'd have a lot of readers that I'd run out of spots for dedications. I really want to dedicate a chapter to everyone of you, I'm sorry if you hadn't been dedicated a chapter, but do know that I treasure you a lot ♡

There are a lot of books out there, but you gave your time to read this and for that I am beyond thankful ♡

Special mention to notaeday taeyangtears & taespresso ♡ they gave me a very positive head start, and that meant a lot lot lot lot to me.

It's finally over, and I'm just so happy and sad at the same time omg

I'm gonna end this crappy note right now before I bore you out (I mean, I know I already have haha)

If you wish to stick with me on my next book, I'm currently working on Paper Cranes which is a Park Jimin fanfic, and I'd be glad to see you there. Plus, Yoongi will have more exposure there. (What a shameless self promo but oh wells hehehe).

Again, thank you so much! If you need any help with your book, writing or anything, feel free to comment on this line or message me ♡

Have a great day ahead, everyone! Take care and stay safe always. Stay hydrated and eat your meals on time, arasseo?

See you around! ♡

PS. I've written three bonus chapters which I will be posting soon, so you could expect that! *wink wink*
