Helloooooo!
          	
          	I hope you guys are enjoying Memento Vivere as much as I am enjoying writing it. Oh, it's such a wonderful experience to write a whole ass fic about their well-deserved happy ending.
          	
          	With that being said, there are—I'm estimating here—two chapters left before it ends. So I really hope the current readers, as well as the ones who supported the first two Carpe novels, can be with our star-crossed lovers until the end.
          	
          	Aaahhh... It's raining where I am. I wish you are all dry and warm, tucked snugly in your beds tonight.
          	
          	Stay safe!

@evren_rogue thank you dear for the masterpiece. Can't count how many times I felt kilig, broken to the point of being dysfunctional (HAHA, affected much), and happy (with happy tears) because of the entire trilogy. 
          	  
          	  With everything that is happening in life, I'm glad to have found solace in your stories (together with my other fave authors) and be able to connect with you, chat with you about the characters, about your feelings as author and about my opinions as reader. I will be able to sleep peacefully each night and whenever I remember this trilogy, that somewhere out there, after almost two decades, two lost souls found each other again with their happy beginning! Thank you uli ❤️❤️❤️

Hello everyone,
          
          I hope you all had a blast last week. Aaaahhh... Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are finally married. Can you believe it? Now, the crumbs we have to watch out for are those from the wedding—as well as their future adventures as a married couple. There will be drought for sure, given how firm Hyun Bin's stand is on privacy. Although at least, we can sleep soundly knowing that they too are sleeping soundly in each other's arms.
          
          For life.
          
          This is real, guys; there is no need for us to imagine anymore. ❤️
          
          
          Having said that, I am putting all my stories on hold. (For the nth time, I know. Feel free to ignore me and my intermittent, spur-of-the-moment breaks.)
          
          To be honest, I was contemplating whether to go on or not when there is no point in making believe anymore. Fiction was our coping mechanism once upon a time. And now, we don't have to. Then again, my gut tells me that I will continue—in next month, the months after that, or even longer—and there will still be people who will lurk on WP and AO3 like me. Not because we have to wonder again, but because we want to always be reminded of the magical time that was.
          
          (To be continued...)

            So to those who have been waiting for updates, I sincerely apologize. It wasn't my intention to keep you hanging. I will pick up where I left off as soon as I am able to (When I regain the skills to complete paragraphs, that is).
            
            
            Going back...
            
            Congratulations to us who held on since 2017! Wow, it's been one remarkable ride. For now, I'll wait for more videos from the wedding with you. And fingers crossed, someone will show us some mercy and post the one with Hyun Bin dancing to Uptown Funk. 
            
            I might not be around for some time. But friends know where to find me if anyone needs me.
            
            Until then, take care!
            
            
            Signing off,

            [Disclaimer: Personal ramblings ahead. Nothing significant.]
            
            Also, if you must know (I think I owe some of you this.), real life beckons. There are personal matters I have to attend to, and writing and BinJin isn't enough escape anymore. Sometimes, you just have to confront them, get things over and done with once and for all. Come to think of it, I have been keeping them at bay for a long while now—two years, at that. I guess it's high time I wake up from this fever dream and recalibrate my priorities.
            
            When I started writing, I have developed unhealthy sleeping patterns. I normally spent my weekends working on an update, awake for more than 48 hours to push a chapter out of my head. And god, my mood swings were in utter chaos—even hours after I closed GDocs. It's insane! And it seems that the only way to recover was to take a hiatus and stick to it. No more cheating.
            
            Ahhh... I wish someone told me beforehand that it would be better to take a sabbatical (Of course, I can't. I have limited privileges in life.) and lock myself up in a room somewhere far, then go cold turkey once the story is finished instead of caving in to the siren's call of another potential plot. That would have been more ideal for my well-being.
            
            Oh well... My bad. Hehehe.

I have never seen so many comments of frustration in my life. 
          
          Thank you all. Tbh, until now, I can't imagine that works of mine can elicit such emotions from readers.
          
          With that, let me just also make a request:
          
          That when you read the chapters of Carpe Diem, you remember that these all happened in the past, prior to their fateful reunion in the fall of 2023. That like us, Jeong Hyeok is someone who just tries to do the right thing, live a normal life, make relationships work after the end of Carpe Noctem. That if they are in pain now, well... it takes two to tango because Se Ri also chose that afternoon in 2013 to set him free. That I hope you see through the multitude of layers and the superficial logic to empathize with the complexities life subjects all of us to.
          
          But...
          
          Yes, Se Ri's fine. It's been ten years. I can assure you that, at least.  Her recovery began in Prima Luce. And in the next chapter, we'll see how fate treated her after Zürich.
          
          No, I will not butcher Carpe. It has been the most complex piece of work I have ever worked on because it is very "human". I thought Finding You was the toughest to write because of the plot, but I was wrong.
          
          Thank you all again for making my weekend fun and interesting. To be able to reach your viewers, make them feel as though they are in the same room when it happens—that's my goal as a writer. So, I am very, very humbled that you allow me to accomplish just that.
          
          Stay safe. Take care. Be kind. ❤️

So this is really you!!! Omg! There was this sense of familiarity when I first read your story but I did not think much about it because I was so consumed by your story and the intricacies of your words. I’m so elated to add yet another one of your masterpieces to my U.F. Collection

Velvetcreamlatte

I’m gonna have to reread both stories to recall which part it was.   But I think it had to do with their views on happiness / relationships? 
            
            I don’t know how to describe it clearly but if there’s one thing I can recall, when I read the convo I had this thought like how nice it feels to find someone you can have a serious conversation with, at intellectual and emotional level. And immediately my mind went straight to TP. 
            
            But it’s probably just me. I tend to make weird personal connections with stories that I read.

@Glow_wing which convo? I'm curious. :)
            
            Yes. Will continue writing under this pseudo and Raven Mague as well. ❤️

How did I not know this???? But then again I missed a lot of your updates too. 
            Now that I think about it, there was this one particular chapter where Seri and Jeong Hyeok had a conversation that reminded me of Turning Point. 
            
            Will you continue writing as Evren Rogue?
