Hey, girlie. What's up?

Hello, Dalgis!! This is long overdue but—OMG. I had the night of my life at the Enhypen concert three weeks ago (crazy to think it's already been that long!). To be honest, the main reason why I haven't really talked about it yet (on here, anyway) is because PCD has been hitting me so hard this time around.
I got my very first floor seat experience, and the entire night was truly magical. My seat was right by the extended stage, so it was so surreal seeing all the members up close—especially when Jake invited us over to the barricade. LA was the only stop with seated floor, so I didn't think I'd get any closer, but he invited us up for the encore set and I will never forget that night. (I also don't know how I'll hold up at TXT's concert next week with it also being at BMO Stadium. I might cry a little just being reminded of Enhypen, but that's a story for another time.)
I posted some of my favorite pics and videos on my Instagram page if any of y'all wanted to see! My IG username is the same as my Wattapd (@/strawberheecake). It's also linked in my bio ^.^
Moving forward, I definitely got some good motivation to continue writing the OT7 x reader fic I've been drafting up. It's a slow progress as I'm still working full-time and back on the study grind for my big career-specific license. So, if I'm being honest, it's taking me quite a while to even get through chapter 1. But I'm slowly chipping away at it, and hopefully, I can share the first part of it with you all soon ❤️

@Zahraaaaaaaaaa11 Ahhh thank you!! I honestly thank my lucky stars each time I win the ticketing war. I really hope all Engenes get to experience Enhypen's concert at least once in their lifetime ❤️
strawberheecake
@jung_04_won Ah yes! It was the best concert I've ever been to and I can't wait to see them again in the future ❤️I'm hoping all Engenes will get to experience Enhypen's concert at least once in their life—it's truly unforgettable! Hehe I can't wait to share it with you! I just finished drafting Chapter 2 today and am working on brainstorming Chapter 3. I think this fic will be on the shorter side—definitely not as long as my Fate Bound series. But, hopefully, that means I can publish it sooner. I actually started developing another idea for another OT7 fic yesterday so I'm eager to get started on that one too, hehe.

Surprise, Dalgis! I'm officially back with a new fic. It's the Sungwon fic that I've been promising for a while now!
It ended up being a lot longer than I had anticipated, so I published it as its own short story. You can find it in the 'EN-' reading list on my profile. It's titled "you belong to the flowers (but my heart belongs to you".
It's my first historical fic, so hopefully I did the time period some justice. Can't wait for y'all to read it! Lmk what you think.
I love you all so much! ❤️

Hey, boo. What's up?

@strawberheecake Osaka is such a great city lol. Were you ever approached by any cult recruiters? It's not exactly a rare occurrence in SK and Japan. Well, let's drink a Jacob's Creek to you passing this time uwu. Yep, and that's exactly why on job training works far better. Damn, sounds like you were very close. Jake inviting the fans to the front is something I saw on YouTube as well. I bet your 'boyfriend' looked amazing. Yep, I always prefer seated floor because it's far more convenient. Your healthcare system isn't going to let one be introduced in the market, either lmao (hi, BIg Pharma).

@Chatayer Very true! I only know of summer. We visited three of the major cities in Japan—Kyoto, Osaka, & Tokyo. I'd love to go back and explore more of the country in the future! Unfortunately, I haven't passed the exams yet. I'm still working in public accounting, though! I'll just need to get this license if I want to hold a manager position or higher. In fact, it's quite common for most individuals to start out without their license. I think our experiences working help us understand the topics that are tested much better. Haha, it was definitely one of my favorite concert outfits. The concert itself was AMAZING! Truly one of the best nights of my life. My friend and I were 5 seats away from the extended stage, so we got really close-up views of each member when they came over. And although LA had seated floor, Jake ended up inviting us all to barricade for the encore set, so it literally felt like we were partying with Enhypen for the last set. Jay and Jake came over to my section the most and Jay even threw his water on us so I don't think I'll ever forget that lol. (Tbh, I think Jake favored my side of the stage most because 90% of my concert videos & pics are of Jake haha.) I got to see a lot of Jungwon and Heeseung too! Sunghoon and Sunoo were pretty good about floating around, but Ni-Ki definitely preferred the other side of the stage more. I fear that this concert experience has forever spoiled my preference for seats. And now, so long as seated floor is available, I'll be praying to my lucky stars that I get those seats each time. Oh, a vaccine for a common cold would be amazing! It would help so many people stay healthier. But I definitely agree it'll take some time. There are just so many variations out there, so finding the vaccine that works best might take a while.
Chatayer
@strawberheecake Lol I get that. California only ever has one weather lmao. What placed did you visit? I see. I thought you'd passed and were finally working in that field. I bet you looked *slurps*. How'd the concert go? Yeah well, nothing we can do about common colds. I'd heard something about scientists working on a vaccine for it, but i guess it's going to take a bit before we see it hit the market (hopefully in our lifetime lmao).

Dalgis!! How are we feeling now that D:U is out?! I've been streaming the album non-stop and I swear, I'm finding a new favorite line for each song every day. I'd say my top two favorite tracks on the album so far are Too Close and Outside. But I just know Helium is gonna hit so hard when they sing it live this summer!!
On another note, and not to spoil too much... but the entire concept of D:U and especially the MV for Bad Desire matches a little too perfectly for my next OT7 x reader fic. Sometimes, when I'm really delusional enough, I think the team that creates Enhypen's lore is on the same brain wavelength as me LOL.
It might still be a little while before I'm ready to publish even the first chapter of this new fic, but I'm already so excited for it! As a little teaser, here's the Spotify playlist I created and have been curating for about 2 years now: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3HfWfwEqTnST6BSz7OB0nM?si=8f8a0d99771f462a
Give it a listen and lmk what you think! I'm curious to see what y'all think the new story will be about. Hint: we're gonna step away from their normal vampire lore ;)
For the most part, I think the songs I have in the playlist are my final choices. As you'll see, some songs I added as early as December 2023. I wasn't kidding when I said I've had this idea in the works for a while now. But it's finally at a point where I'm 99% satisfied with this playlist and you'll be able to get a good vibe of the colors of this next fic.
I'm also working on creating a Pinterest board, so I'll share that with you guys as a little teaser soon too!

@clicheap Aweeee tysm!! I'm so excited to share it with you hehe. Omg yes!! Bad Desire is so good! I know it'll hit so hard when I hear it live next weekend. And stop I cannot get over how cute Too Close is (┬┬﹏┬┬)
strawberheecake
@jung_04_won OMG YES!! So sorry for how long it's taken me to respond--BUT YES! I absolutely love D:U. All the songs are still on heavy repeat in my current rotation, but especially Outside!! I'm really hoping they play it as encore for LA but we'll see...

Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I’ve been trying to find your AO3 username and haven’t been able to. Would you mind telling me, please?
strawberheecake
@annakpoparmy Hi! Sorry for the confusion! I think people can only search me up by my first AO3 username since there's actually no way of changing it. Try searching up 'dalgi_jungoo'! And if you still can't find me, I have my AO3 profile linked in my bio here on Wattpad.

hi!! long time no see. i was busy with my finals and my laptop just came today so...
anyways i read sacrifice and i LOVED IT!! im yet to read en-magine though. i wanna ask u something.. um if u dont mind can u give me some writing tips cause im soing to post a fanfic in ao3 so... if u dont mind that is
well have a good day!!
byeee!!
strawberheecake
@saikripa123 Hmm well, my biggest tip is to plan ahead and give yourself more time than you think you'll need. My best stories were never the ones I thought of straight away. I find myself, more often than not, drafting up something I think I want as my story, but then I'll read it and revise it a few times before I completely scrap the whole thing. It's really scary at first, because sometimes I'll wonder what if I deleted something that I did want to keep. But I never find myself looking back. I think of my first draft, almost as an exercise or a warm up. And the other thing that comes to mind, at the moment, is reading more! I really love it when I find an author whose writing style I really enjoy. It gives me an idea of how I want to pace and paint my stories as well. I hope this helps and I'll let you know if I think of any more tips along the way!
strawberheecake
@saikripa123 Omg hello!! Long time no chat. I hope your finals went well, and I'm so excited to hear that you got a new laptop! I'm also beyond relieved to hear that you loved the ending of Sacrifice! ❤️❤️❤️ I'd be more than happy to share some writing tips! Do you have any questions in mind? Or would you like me to share what comes off the top of my head?
strawberheecake
Surprise Dalgis! Just as I promised: two updates in one day!
I just posted the latest update to "En-Magine" titled "there's still glitter on my hands (from loving you)". Fair warning, it deals with heavy grief and has a past character death. But hopefully, that doesn't deter too many of you from reading it.
Truthfully speaking, it's a very special oneshot that I hold dearly in my heart. Writing it has helped me deal with all the emotions I've been experiencing lately. Hopefully, for everyone who reads it, you can find a way to resonate with it as well ❤️❤️
strawberheecake
Hi, Dalgis! Sorry, I'm a day late, but I finally posted the epilogue of "Sacrifice"! Can't believe this officially brings our Fate Bound series to an end, but I hope you all enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️
See you later today for another surprise update ;)
Zahraaaaaaaaaa11
@strawberheecake this epilogue was amazing I'm definitely going back to read it again!!
strawberheecake
@reibel_hearts Awee no need to be scared! I def should've clarified this, but this update actually won't be related to the Fate Bound series. I'll just be updating my other book, En-Magine
strawberheecake
Hi Dalgis! I'm so excited to announce that the epilogue of "Sacrifice" is finally coming Saturday, 05/03!
I just finished drafting it, and will be using Friday afternoon, after I come home from work, to finish revising everything. I'm so excited and I can't wait to share it all with you! ❤️❤️
strawberheecake
@vio542 Ahh omg happy belated birthday! I hope you had a fun day full of smiles and that you got to celebrate with everything you love ❤️❤️❤️
