IRIS! The new BTS album dropped! How are you feeling about it?! Tell me when you’re free :)

today. was. such. a. good. day.
          
          AHHH!!!
          
          a few days ago, i had brought up the sibling guessing incident with my advisor during a chat. remember, we have never met in person—only voicemails and messages. he is the one who helps me keep my studies on track. anyway, he got curious and asked me to guess his sibling role. for me, the stakes felt so high because my perfect 5/5 streak was on the line and of course i did not want to mess it up.  TvT
          
          plus, we have never met face-to-face. all i had were his voice notes—no body language, no live reactions—so i had to rely purely on his tone, his words, and the stereotypical dynamics of each sibling role. [ i did not like doing so, i rather analyse someone according to their human behaviour over generalised behaviour, but i had no choice :( and i made that clear to him! ] it felt impossible compared to my peers, where i had actual one-on-one interactions to analyse. however, i went for it. i laid out every option: only child, youngest, middle, oldest. i even guessed the gender. i explained everything i noticed from his voicemails—how he advised, his tone, little expressions i imagined, why i thought each role might fit or not fit him. my final guess: 1) only child, 2) youngest, 3) middle, 4) oldest. plus, i even guessed the gender.
          
          and… i cannot even. he said i was so close. he is the youngest—ahhh! the reason i had not picked youngest completely was because he didn’t have the typical dramatic flair of a youngest—he is too calm—but he told me i’d gotten him 98%—his personality, family dynamics, life, relationships—somehow i was 98% correct!!!

today was such a wild little day for me. i was studying with some new peers i had just talked with. we were five girls excluding me, and everyone somehow ended up talking about siblings. i asked the most talkative girl how many siblings she had, and she smirked and told me to guess. i said two. her jaw — and the other girls’ — just dropped because i was right. i couldn’t help but chuckle. then i asked another girl how many she had, and she told me to guess too. i hummed for a second and told her she looked like an only child to me; their jaws dropped again because i somehow got it right. my eyes went wide. a third one asked me to guess how many she had, and i guessed correctly again, and then went on with the remaining girls *crying emoji* at this point we were all wheezing and completely shocked that i had gotten every single one right. they asked me how and honestly… it was intuition + body language *crying emoji* i don’t even know how to explain it properly — they just gave me certain vibes *skull emoji*
          
          it ended up being such a lovely study session, though :)

hello, everyone. is it just me or wattpad is not responding properly to me? i cannot seem to access the books i want to resume reading nor can i edit my work :((

i have been going through ai-generated stories and human-written stories, and i have to say... the gap is so big. this might sound like an unpopular opinion, but i would rather read a story with grammatical errors than one with perfect grammar but no emotion. the difference between ai-written and human-written stories is huge. i had a talk with a friend about this before, but i didn’t really understand it back then—i lacked the knowledge about ai. but now after so much research... wow. the difference is significant, and i totally get why so many authors say ai can not replace human writers. it makes so much sense now.

          [ side note, sorry, i realized i had deleted the announcement. TvT ]

okay~ thanks to a lovely friend’s advice, i was finally able to get over my reading block (yay!) and i am open for reads now! (｡•ᴗ•｡)♡
          
          if you have any books or one-shots you would like me to check out, feel free to drop them below! i am okay with any ships [ romantic or platonic! , groups,  and any genre too~ ♡
          
          [ side note: i do not guarantee a read if there are certain content elements in your book—no worries though, i will check those out myself! if you happen to spot me in your reads, then hiiii in advance! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡ ]

it’s been a while since i lingered around here, huh? (´･ᴗ･ ` )
          
          a gentle, very belated happy new year to everyone. i hope the year has started kindly for you — softer than the last, maybe with a few warm surprises sprinkled in. i have been away, lost in the haze of travel, study, catching up with people, and finding rhythm in my own quiet routines again. sorry for vanishing  ><
          
          writing has been on pause lately [ i know, i should get back to it... but my mind has been asking for stillness ]. i have also been meaning to slip back into reading... slowly, but nothing seems to satisfy my niche taste :< (if there is anyone out there who can help, pls do!! )
          
          i will be a little quiet again for a while. not gone, just... recharging ♡ don’t worry, i have not disappeared for good. i never do.
          
          also... i may or may not have successfully flustered someone into spilling some rather interesting things. (ᗜ⩊ᗜ)
          
          with affection,
          iris ♡

today was such a lovely day. ( ◡‿◡ ♡)
          
          a little update: i logged into my wattpad account and saw all the kind notifications. i have not replied to any just yet, but i truly appreciate every single one. i am so sorry for not responding — i am still on a hiatus. this pause might last a while, as my family and another family suddenly planned a long trip. so far, i have visited five countries, and there are still three or four more to go. (・・；)
          
          since the travel plans were so sudden, i did not get the chance to prepare anything — whether it was for my ongoing stories or reconnecting with my friends here. i have been so occupied that i have not found a quiet moment to sit down and rearrange everything. but once i do, you will know. ♡
          
          thank you for all the love and patience. stay happy, stay blessed. your girl had a quietly magical day today with someone very special. ♡ ～(’▽^人)

Time doesn't go back, and Yeonjun only has three days left. Three days, and he'll be gone - or that's what he believes.
          
          "HE KNOWS" is back on the road, and you won't want to miss what's about to happen. See you there!
