Finding Home

Since everyone is so confused about the last chapter, and it's distracting me from writing the next one because I'm now paranoid about how well I'm actually writing this, I figured I should clarify and hope that it clears things up. 

 

1. Jonghyun is not unstable because he's being comforted too much. He's unstable because his mother died and left him completely alone at the age of 13 and he had to find a way to survive on his own for 3 years, and now he's being thrown in with a huge group of people he's never met, and he doesn't know what to do.

2. The conversation between Jinki and Key - Everyone called Jinki "Onew" except the ones in that room. He sort of took on the father role for them a long time prior to this point, and had been planning to adopt them for a while. What's going on with Key in specific is that, while he is a diva, and he does thrive on the social scene, he still wants some privacy that he can't get where he is now. Taemin was going to be the first one he adopted, and he's giving up that spot to Jonghyun because Jonghyun needs more individualized attention. 

3. I don't know why I picked that specific time frame for them all to be adopted in. I just did. 

4. I want more Jongho at this point, but if I push it too much further right now, the story will start looking sloppy. Or, more sloppy. Be patient!

I just noticed an inconsistency between this story and Holding On, so...I'm going to be editing Ch 23.

Chapter 24: Kekekeke! This is so sweet, I need an insulin shot now. XD
I freaking love the thing with Hoho sending random pics; it sounds like something I would do, and probably will start doing. I'm so anxious to start the sequel!

Chapter 18: Omg, this is so addictive. I should be sleeping right meow. I keep dozing off and I have a busy day tomorrow. I'm very tired, and I want to sleep... but I *need* to keep reading. XD

Chapter 3: I'm back in my wonderful, fangirl heaven. I remember when I was able to spend hours reading fics. If I didn't have Sofia today, I'd stay in bed and cuddle up with your stories. I'm going to FL the day after tomorrow, and I wish I had your works in book form. Better yet, on an mp3, in your voice. :3

Chapter 1: I haven't looked at this one in far too long. I've forgotten what I read, so I'm starting over. :)

Chapter 14: Chugging right along. ^^

I'm having quite a bit of mixed emotions as the story progresses, from pain to understanding to, most recently, fear... Jonghyun is going to a mental hospital. It sounds so harsh when I say it that way, I'm sure, but that's essentially what it is. I'm not sure what else to feel, having been institutionalized several times before. I shall brace myself and continue!
