END NOTES

We made it to the end!!! Wow, I can't believe it no matter how many times I finish writing a book. Thank you all so much for reading this book, it means a lot, with all these uncertain times, I hope that it can give you some entertainment or something comforting. As usual, I apologize for any mistakes I may have made in terms of grammar and punctuation.

I mentioned it in a chapter but I'll mention it again, when I researched the places that they were going to, I didn't do a full history lesson on all of it. I skimmed the info and went from there.

Another thing I wanted to mention is that this book in no way shape or form is meant to represent real life people and their real life behaviors. The names were used for the purpose of the story and are not meant to defame anyone at all.

Now onto something a little more different...

I want to explain the character personalities a bit.

Jungkook: Jungkook is probably the easier one of the four to explain. Jungkook dated Soorim in high school. They had a great relationship and then broke it off. However, upon seeing her again, he felt his old feelings resurface. Now some of you future readers may wonder why Soorim doesn't go for Jungkook instead. The reason behind this is because I wanted to demonstrate an aspect of real life called time. Time doesn't stop for anyone. Jungkook wanted his love life to be that of high school again, but Soorim had moved on and matured. That's just how life goes. Time moves on and so do you. Another thing I wanted to address was when Soorim was drunk and she tried to kiss him why he stopped and why he was still nice to her. It's simple. Jungkook is meant to be an understand friend in this. He knew she was hurting and he wanted to make her feel better. For a split second he thought accepting her drunk wishes was right, but he came to his senses and realized it wasn't. So yeah, that was Jungkook! Comment if you've got questions!

Sora: Alright she's pretty complex. So the original perception of her might be a very jealous, stuck up, priss, with an attitude larger than North America. But what I tried to hint at was that she had an obsession. A major problem. She was obsessed with the concept of her own success and being remembered for years. She was obsessed with pleasing the fans and making sure that she was talked about and appreciated. That drove her to do awful things like bully, belittle, harm. But what I wanted people to see is that sometimes, the surface nastiness of a person isn't all there is to the story. At first I was going to name her condition but I didn't want to wrongly brand her condition as something that I had surface level knowledge of. But when she apologized to Soorim and accepted her problems, she was able to loosen its hold on her. Like Soorim said, Sora is as much of a victim as the next.

Taehyung: So Tae might be a character you get annoyed with. He was very back and forth between the girls and had a hard time standing up for himself and others. Often times, Tae was caught in the middle, struggling between his first real love and his first real two-sided love. He couldn't choose one girl but wanted both of them to be there for him. That's why when Soorim tried to get him to break up with Sora he kinda flipped out. Tae is a confused and misguided character. He's trying to do what's right, but struggles against love's temptations. He wanted to make others happy but in the end kinda screwed himself over by constantly waiting. That being said, he still had a good heart and wasn't trying to cheat or hurt anyone.

Soorim: And now our lovely main character. She experienced a lot of bad things in her life, but despite that, she managed to keep her head held high for the most part. But instead of standing back up, she decided to go for a quieter career choice which led her down this crazy story. She hadn't been truly appreciated by anyone besides Lena her whole life so when Taehyung waltzed in at KCon and started caring for her with the burn and stuff, she was conflicted. At first she thought it was all friendly, but then she began to develop feelings for Taehyung who had treated her so well. Her obstacle was Sora though. I think the rest is self-explanatory. She herself is also confused. She doesn't know how to deal with all that's happening and finds herself awkwardly trying to put herself out there. The one thing I want to address is the "lying." She never lied technically. I believe lying and not revealing things are different concepts. However, I think her trying to get Tae to break up with Sora was strange but understandable.

I hope this gave you a bit more insight into the characters!

And to finish off my notes, my self-promos! But it's like midnight here and I wanna finish this so I'll just refer you to my table of contents where you can find all completed and on-going books!

Thank you again so much for reading.

And of course...

HAPPY READING 📖
