it's been exactly one year since i published this book...

Wow.

It's been a year already.

I really can't believe it.

When I first published this book on May 5, 2018, I didn't have high hopes for it. I did have another fic out at the time, but it was amateurish writing, didn't have a great plot, it wasn't well organized, and was a dumb crossover that literally no one asked for (only ITZY-YEJI is allowed to comment about this). I wasn't at all popular on Wattpad and never expected anyone would even consider giving "Chong Jae Hwa" a chance.

I was wrong. Oh so wrong.

Within the first two days, I had around 250 reads and only about five parts to the book, which had me shook at the time. I was so surprised that I got so many reads within a short amount of time. My first fanfiction had been published for months with so many chapters to it, and it only had around 200 reads.

And the rest is history.

And because of this book, I met ITZY-YEJI, who inspired me to write this in the first place. Almost a year and a half later, she is now the bestest friend I could ask for and I hope we can meet each other in real life one day.

I just want to thank you all so so so much for reading and liking "Chong Jae Hwa" and sticking with it, even though the long periods with no updates. With this book, I have become more confident as a writer knowing that you all like my writing. It really means so much to me, and I have no idea how else to say it. Just thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and 1,000 more thank yous to all of my beautiful and amazing readers! I love you all!

p.s. If you're wondering about the old fanfic, I deleted not long after I published this book.
