I think I owe everyone a little explanation for why I've been gone for so long.
For the past few weeks, I've been on and off with writing. Part of it was because I got distracted by other things, especially gaming. What started as me casually playing a game somehow turned into a whole experience that took up more of my time and attention than I expected. At the same time, I've also been on and off with K-pop lately, so I found myself drifting away from the things that usually inspired me to write.
To be honest, I also went through a small personal chapter that left me emotionally distracted for a while. Nothing dramatic—just one of those experiences that teaches you a little more about yourself than you were expecting. Because of that, writing became harder, and I kept putting chapters off while trying to sort out my thoughts.
Thankfully, I'm doing much better now. Looking back, I'm actually grateful for everything that happened because it taught me a lot about myself, even if it temporarily pulled me away from writing. Thank you to everyone who stayed patient, continued supporting my stories, and waited for updates despite my random disappearances.
I don't know if I am still able to continue the story since school is starting in a few days and I won't have much time doing so, but I assure you that I will finish the novel as much as I could by this year.
