HELLO!

So... I had originally wanted to make a post around the 3yr mark of the posting of the first chapter but I had some computer issues at the time so that didn't happen. But now, on this lazy, scorching hot Sunday, I happened to be searching Twitter for tweets about Be Loved and other fics (because I do that when I'm bored sometimes) and it just hit me that this fic was a lot more well-liked than I actually realized. I hesitate to say "popular" because it sounds narcissistic to me and I'm not remotely close that but to see all these positive comments and to see how emotionally involved many of you were, just as involved as I was writing it...well, it hits me in the feels man.

So I just wanted to say thank you. I seem to have a quota for one "popular" fic per pairing that I ship and I'm pretty sure that Be Loved is it for Hunhan. I will never have another Hunhan fic get this many votes or views or comments, just like Oppa is probably it on the Baekyeol front as well. But that's okay, you know. I didn't write these stories for the fame or popularity. I don't consider myself famous or popular anyways. I wrote it because I wanted to and it's nice that I was able to share it with people who received it well, who are still receiving it well, whether it be new readers or old ones who just can't get enough(-torment, you masochists). The Crying Game will always be my personal favourite (I just really like complex, angsty drama! :D) but it fills me with a special kind of warmth to have had this particularly baby, cuz all my stories are my children of course, blossom into a beautiful flower. Even if it took 2 and a half bloody years (and me being sick for a large part of it) for Luhan to get his together -_-

Anyway, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! And I'm sorry that I didn't reply to every single comment like I said I would. I did reply to a lot, though. There are just way too many of you...lol

BTW, although I would never even consider writing a sequel or spinoff, I have thought about at least writing how Jongin and Kyungsoo met since a lot of people requested that. I can't and won't commit to anything but It's not an impossibility, I will say that much. It's going to be painful getting into that head-space again, poor Jongin lying on the floor, crying his heart out with broken glass all around him symbolizing his shattered heart...

Chapter 38: Sehun deserves much better. And certainly Jongin and Luhan deserve each other . No matter what Luhan had gone through before, he had the choice even from the start. He wasn’t scared Or anything. He was selfish and too comfortable with his life with Jongin. Luhan knew from the start that Sehun was genuine with him. I don’t like Luhan at all. She took advantage of both of the guys. Many people go through hardships with somewhat close to his personality but when you have someone you already believe in and trust then what can your excuse be? Totally cunning and selfish.

Chapter 41: Wowww I happened to read this before going to university and I couldn't stay focus because I haven't finish it yet. I am glad that finally Jongin sets Luhan free and it ended up with Hunhan, my otp. However, I feel bad for Jongin. I mean, people do mistakes ofc. And they deserve to have an opportunity to be better. But let's just say, human's heart, mind and else are complicated. We have lust, we grow greedy and that's by nature I guess.. even I want to blame Jongin, I couldn't. I want blame Sehun for becoming the third wheel, I couldn't. I want to blame Luhan, I couldn't. I ended up blaming myself for becoming emotionally attached by your story. But, I guess it is a succeded in your point. You moved the readers' emotion. I am really impressed on how realistic your fic even though I, myself cannot divide the realistic world from my delutionation hahahahaha. My bad though. I just want to say, you write a masterpiece and I thank you for sharing this with us. I do feel a lil bit regret that I can not read it while progressing, but at least I read it afterwards. I am not interested on hunhan back then, my bad again. Anyway, see you on your another masterpiece.

Chapter 39: This was everything and more. I can't believe I've only read this now but you are basically amazing for writing such a wonderful story. Plot wise and character development, I am floored, thank you for writing in such a way that we were able to feel every emotions clearly and relate to the characters despite not having been in their shoes. It really is lovely how much we've seen the characters grow in their own way and there's not a second that I regret investing my time on reading this. Thank you for weaving such a beautiful fic and for inciting emotions within me as reader. All the best for you!
