Hi, Kurdoodle!

How are you? I hope this super random comment finds you well. I don’t know if you’re still actively writing fics or if you’re on any other platforms. I haven’t been active anywhere lately, so I really can’t tell. 🥹 Anyway, I just wanted to drop by to express how much your story has meant to me over the years—almost a decade already! Jesus Christ, why do I suddenly feel so old? I was just a first-year college student when I first read this nine years ago, and as I reminisce and look back on it, I’m honestly surprised at how it continues to be so close to my heart. It will always be KaiStal through and through. I’m such a nostalgic person, I know.

Your narrations has a timeless quality that causes waves of nostalgia every time I read it. Even nine years after I first read it on LiveJournal (oh, how I enjoyed reading fics there back then), your words continue to evoke those same feelings of fluff and coziness that drew me in. I never intended to re-open my AFF account after (n) years, but as I was going through my Notes app, I came across all of the quotes and comments I had written for this specific story. I knew I had to look up your story again, and that’s how I discovered that you also posted it here! College student me, who’s a hopeless romantic, really did enjoy reading this the first time before.

I wanted to express how much this story has impacted me. I once prayed to meet someone like Jongin from your story, and miraculously, life granted my wish. Although our journey together has recently come to an end, I find comfort in the memories and the lessons learned along the way. I’ll always come running to this when I need some fluff in my life. Aside from this being well-written, I really did enjoy reading through Jongin’s and Krystal’s tooth-aching conversations, or should I say rhetorical questions and mails?

This is probably long overdue, but still, thank you so so much for writing such a beautiful story that resonates with people on a deeper level. Your words really have brought me immense comfort, inspiration, and a sense of belongingness during both the highs and lows of life.

Thank you again, Kurdoodle! I really hope you are fine and that life’s been treating you well 🩷
