After 4 years, finally I'm committing myself to writing a fresh fic and not just trying to pick up something I left off years ago. 

It's going to be a BTS Magic AU fic. Been loving their sound since 2014. Don't really know when they actually debuted, oops. I didn't really care for who they were actually, just loved their music. Friend of mine let me listen to War of Hormones on a bus ride home and it was love at first note. Listened to all of their available music without even knowing their names or how they looked liked for a whole year. Because I know how addicted/distracted I can get by being a fan in general from my past experience with SHINee. Those were dark days, dark because too many sleepless nights just binging on stuff related to them. 

Anyways, now (since 2015) I know them and paid attention to them, to the extent of a lazy international fan, their stories are inspiring and it gives me hope. Hope that I can make something of myself and it's not too late for me. I feel so grateful that a band that I've been supporting is getting the recognition that they deserve. They put in so much effort, have tip-top work ethic and are incredibly talented. Amazing individuals. 

I was born in 1995 (you do the math), the last of the millenials. I worked in finance, climbed the ladder pretty quickly, was the youngest to make assistant finance manager (still holding onto that title till now :p) in an MNC. Earned good money, highest income earner in the family even though I'm the baby. But I wasn't happy. I wasn't doing something that I actually wanted to do. I was just going through the motions; wake up, work, sleep, repeat. I want to do something that drives me something that fuels my passion, something that is me. Not just do something just because I can do it, or because I need to survive in this world. I want to start living. 

So I quit my job. And enrolled myself in a private institution to prepare for A levels (made a mistake of not taking them when I was still in the education system). Then I'm going to study medicine. Where I come from, and at my age, what I'm doing is almost unheard of. I'm leaving a stable career with good prospects to pursue something insanely challenging. But I'm going to do it anyway, I want to do something that makes me happy. It's going to be one hell off a journey, but I won't feel like I'm wasting my life away.

So that's why I'm writing this fic. Reading, writing, music, BTS, etc. The small pleasures that I allow myself are the ones that really go a long way. That's what I've come to realise.

I can do this! Here's to a new chapter in my life. 

Let's start living.
