update as of 08/2024!
my story, next to you hasn't been updated in over a year. I've lost significant interest in the story so that's why I stopped updating. There's still a chance I continue it in the future. If I do, I'll do a bit of rewriting  chapters because I've read back my work and I've realized there was quite a bit of bad writing😭, but at least I found my own story interesting! anyways that's it for now (:
