Hi, this is Kittyzen.
I’ve been putting this off for a while, but I think it’s time to be honest with both myself and the readers who’ve supported Unknowingly Married from the beginning.
This fic will be discontinued.
Not long after I graduated, my life became significantly busier than I ever anticipated. I was accepted into both a Juris Doctor and a Master of Laws program, and alongside that, I’ve been working as well. Juggling school, work, and real-life responsibilities has left me with very little mental and emotional space to write the way this story deserves. Writing has always been something I do with care and intention, and lately, I haven’t been able to give this fic that.
On a more personal note, the news of Danielle’s removal from the group genuinely crushed me. This story was born out of my love for NewJeans, not just as idols, but as a source of comfort and inspiration during a very specific period of my life.
That change made it difficult for me to emotionally reconnect with the fic, and forcing myself to continue began to feel unfair, to the characters, the readers, and myself.
I don’t want to rush an ending or continue half-heartedly. Unknowingly Married deserves better than that.
Thank you, truly, to everyone who read, commented, voted, or even just quietly followed along. Your support meant more than I can properly express, and I’m incredibly grateful for the time you spent with this story.
I won’t say “never,” but for now, this is goodbye to Unknowingly Married.
With love and gratitude,
— Kittyzen.
