hi, so i am re-reading your seventeen’s “but it’s the way it is” series for i-don’t-know-how-many-but-its-a-lot-of-times, and tomorrow is monday and i am crying because your writing is so beautiful, and i feel so bad for asking this of you, but if you could perhaps continue the series, that would be very very much appreciated….

i’m sorry for asking….. i guess i’m kinda desperate and emotional…… but i’m not lying when i say i have read the series a lot…… i am looking forward to see what jihoon and soonyoung’s other friends reactions are… and how soonyoung is going to pass the continual struggle of having a failed attempt…. i hope they’re okay

thank you

hello! <3 you are so sweet. please don't feel bad! believe it or not i actually have not abandoned that series, and it's the fic i've been working on most slowly and consistently over the last couple of months. the good news is the next installment is open in a tab right now and it's almost 12k so far. the less good news is that it's a prequel and goes in depth into seungcheol's story and his experiences in university. (i've also started a jihoon pov story that follows up the most recent installment! but that one is a lot shorter and less close to being done)

i was actually just recently talking to my gf about how this series feels personal and this seungcheol-focused installment even more so, and it's been hard to finish it because i've really enjoyed just spending time with these characters and his story. but i've been working on it and will keep working on it, i promise.

i'm also in the middle of moving right now though so forgive me that it's still going to take a bit of time. for your kind patience <a href="https://poppyseedheart.dreamwidth.org/20797.html">i've posted an excerpt on dreamwidth</a> to hopefully give you something to look forward to! <33
