"My precious readers,
I don’t even know where to begin. You’ve been my greatest supporters, my inspiration, and my strength, and yet I know I’ve let you down by being away for so long. It wasn’t my choice, and it certainly wasn’t what I wanted, but life has a way of demanding everything from us sometimes.
Right now, I’m drowning in the pressure of preparing for my entrance exams—a huge milestone in my life. It’s been exhausting and overwhelming, and though I’ve tried to find time to write, I simply haven’t been able to give my stories the love and care they deserve.
Please know that not a day goes by where I don’t think of you and feel the weight of your expectations. Your love for my stories means the world to me, and the fact that you’re still here, waiting, brings tears to my eyes.
I’m so sorry for making you wait, for leaving you without updates, and for making you feel neglected. I miss writing. I miss connecting with all of you. And I promise, from the bottom of my heart, that I’ll return as soon as I can—with stories that make the wait worthwhile.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for believing in me even when I’ve struggled to believe in myself. I’ll make it up to you—I swear I will.
With all the love in my heart,
Your Author-nim
