Hi. I'm sure all of you heard the news by now.

First off, I am heartbroken. But even if my heart hurts, I also know that Lee Min Ho finding love is something that should be celebrated, even if it's not with Shin Hye. That man works so hard and he deserves to be happy. I'll continue to support him as an actor and as a person. I may have been a fan of Park Shin Hye first but I've grown to love Lee Min Ho, too. I wish both of them all the best in life and love!

I'm grateful to this ship for a lot of reasons. One, I met truly wonderful people who have played a significant role in my life. Two, Minshin gave me so much happiness even in the little things they did. Three, it inspired me to write. Because of Minshin, I rediscovered my love for creating stories. For someone who has always been insecure of her writing, to gain almost 2,000 readers is nothing short of a miracle. It still amazes me how people take the time to read what I've written and leave kind comments. Your continued support is what has driven me to write, along with my love for Minshin of course. So I'll NEVER regret being on this ship because it has given me so much.

That said, I'm going to continue Mission: Kill The Prince. I owe my readers that much, after you have poured so much of your time and emotions in the story. To discontinue it would be unfair to all of you who wish to see this story til its end. Also, I'm eager, personally, to finish what I started in this story because it's very close to my heart. Some of you may give up reading it altogether, and please know that I won't take that against you.

However, I don't think I'll be able to write any more Minshin stories after this.

This is not me being bitter. On the contrary, this is me respecting and supporting Lee Min Ho's newfound relationship. I know firsthand how powerful stories can be, so much so that the feelings can spill over to reality. Of course, fiction is still fiction. But you also have to understand the mindset the writer has to be in order to write. It was relatively easy for me to weave scenes  and stories about Minshin's love because some part of me has always believed it. But given the circumstances now, it'll be hard to draw inspiration from that anymore.

This may be bad news to a lot of you who still want to read Minshin stories, and I'm sure there are writers out there who will continue writing. But sadly, I do feel I'm no longer going to be one of those people.

Minshin will always have a special place in my heart. They have been a blessing to me all this time. You all have. I'll keep all my stories up here and you can revisit them anytime you want to relive the memories.

A million thanks for everything. The journey has been awesome. :)
