Hi, everyone.
It’s been a long time since Chapter 58, and I know many of you have been patiently waiting for the last two chapters of Ruined. I also know some of you have seen me writing another book and may have wondered if I abandoned this story.
I didn’t.
The truth is, I already know exactly how Ruined ends. Chapter 59 is almost finished, and I’ve had the ending planned for a long time. The hardest part wasn’t coming up with the story—it was finding the words to write it.
Some of you may know that Ruined is an ENHYPEN fan fiction. When everything surrounding Heeseung happened, I found myself unexpectedly affected creatively. It wasn’t about taking sides or being deeply involved; it simply made it difficult for me to return to the same headspace where I wrote this book. Along the way, I also lost a bit of the passion and momentum I once had.
But one thing has never changed:
I will finish Ruined.
This story deserves an ending, and so do all of you who stayed with it until the very end. Thank you for your patience and for never giving up on this book.
Lastly, if you’ve enjoyed Ruined, I hope you’ll also give my new story, You Were Always Coming, a chance. It’s actually the very first story I created when I was sixteen, and it has grown with me over the years. It holds a very special place in my heart, and I’d love for you to experience this new journey with me as well.
Thank you for staying, and thank you for waiting just a little longer.
