Hey! I know I haven't updated my stories in a while, and I'm really sorry about that, but I just wanted to update you guys really quickly. I've actually been working on two stories for the time I haven't been on. I'm still working on them and they probably won't be posted until they're complete and I'm somehow confident with them, but it's been time consuming. I work on the stories more than anything else (my grades are even starting to fall T_T) I know a few people might not be happy because I haven't updated Luhan's Bratty Acts and instead am working on other stories, but I promise I will update Luhan's Bratty Acts as soon as I can. I haven't really found any inspiration for that story. I guess I have the beginning and I have the reason why Luhan is like that, but I'm still not completely sure what to add to chapter 1. Now about the two upcoming stories, looking back at Stupid Deer and Stupid Dancing Machine, my writing skills weren't the best, but I'll try my best to perfect the two I'm working on. I guess I'll tell you the plot for both:

Story #1 or "Ivory": I found this in a folder while searching for a school file and actually became interested in finishing it. It's not complete, but I've finished most of it so it will probably be the first to be posted on aff out of the two. Plot: Luhan wears ivory colored straps around his wrist. They hurt him, but the history behind them hurts him more.

Preview:   The thin ivory colored straps wrapped around his slender wrists making the blood uppercut into his arm. His pale as snow skin would then turn into a beautiful but visually painful shade of crimson. And Luhan wouldn’t complain because he says it helps circulate blood better.

In reality, the reason why he still wears the ivory straps is a mystery to everyone around him. “Take them off,” Yixing would murmur as they ate lunch during work. “I can’t.” Luhan would reply sternly with a small but forced smile. And it was true he couldn’t take them off as they were stuck on him forever from both a well tied knot and an endearing memory he didn’t and did want to remember.

Before the ivory colored straps, there was a boy. He wore ivory colored everything. Luhan met him while getting lost in a small antique store in Seoul. Then and there, the boy’s arms carried ivory tusks from an elephant. Luhan, being the shy guy he was, stood out of eyesight, watching the boy’s hand smoothly glide against the tusks. They were dazzling, really they were, but the person holding them was much more.           

“Beautiful, right?” Luhan jumped at the deep voice that bellowed upon him. The boy’s gaze shifted from the tusks to him. “You can come closer you know,” Although Luhan declined with the shake of his head, the deep voice possessed his body making his feet take slow steps near the tusks no matter how much he tried to resist. For the rest of his afternoon, Luhan listened to the boy ramble on about ivory. And not just polite listening, but actually, truly listening.

*     *     *

The next day, Luhan went to same antique store to look for the boy. And he was there, holding another set of ivory tusks.

“There’s nothing more beautiful than ivory,” he started. “Most people don’t appreciate how much ivory provides for us.” He continued. And he continued on and on. As Luhan listened to him, he eyed the boy’s chocolate orbs as they lit up each time the word ‘ivory’ came up in his speech. Ivory was really no interest to Luhan, but as he listened to the boy say more, he couldn’t help but give a second thought.

“My name’s Jongin by the way.”

“Oh.” Luhan replied. He cleared his throat. “My name’s Luhan.”

And with that, Jongin continued to speak out his thoughts about ivory.   

-Preview End-

Story #2: I don't have a title and the story is in bits and pieces (I'm still trying to put them all together) So all I can give you is a plot ^^;

Plot: Luhan is a friendly author with the worst case of writers' block. Jongin is an unsocial Junior gifted with writing talents. The two help each other and do just a little more.   

This is probably long, but I just wanted to update readers with what I've been doing because they deserve to know. Thank you for your patience with me, and again, I'm sorry for not updating my stories. Please wait for my two upcoming stories and other stories! ^^;
