Chapter Text
Hey, so I’m not sure if anyone still remembers this fic since it’s been almost a year since I last updated, but I just wanted to give an update about what my plans are in case anyone did care.
So, I had to set it aside for a long time because yknow, life comes at you fast and shit happened that made it impossible to find the time to sit down and bang the rest of this fic out, even though I did have every intention of finishing it. I actually wrote out a ton of it in October and November, and I was so pumped to post the next few chapters once they were done.
But then December happened.
I thought about it for a long time, and I just don’t think I can continue writing a story that has Jonghyun or the other members of Shinee as characters anymore. They were pretty important side characters, especially Jonghyun, but to write about them like that now just made me feel uncomfortable and really fucking upset. As someone who has been a fan of Shinee since their debut days, what happened in December fucked me up really badly, so this is something I feel I have to do for the sake of my own mental health.
If you were waiting for an update on this, I’m really sorry. I considered editing out Shinee and replacing them with OCs or other idols but deleting Jonghyun’s name was equally triggering for me. I feel awful for just abandoning this, but I’m planning to re-write it from the beginning and post it as a new fic once I’m able to mentally do so. Until then, I’ll leave this one up.
Thanks for understanding, and once again I’m really sorry.
Stay safe, guys. Xoxo
