sorry if you feel tricked, this is NOT an update lol... xD

 

Clarifications + Q&A

Before we proceed further, I want to thank all of you for staying till the end though most probably many are really angry with the ending. And truthfully, I've been prepared for the worst. Because my ending isn't how a fanfic ending's supposed to be. wait...how is a fanfic's ending supposed to be again? lol. Since I didn't get many questions...i'll just give some clarifications about the fic, first.   0. i forgot this important one. Seungah is actually spelled as SeungA. i'm just using the spelling everyone is more familiar with. xD   1. The original idea of this fic only has Hyungsik, Jihyun and Seungah as main characters (i'm a ZE:A fan, n Rainbow fan...lol), and was only supposed to be 2-3 chapters. So naturally if i had stayed with that idea, Hyungsik will be the only main guy although I didn't set whether he'd end with Seungah or not. I initially added Mir n JB in poster request to the designer to confuse people, but later after writing 2-5 chapters...i realized I could do so much more with them. and Hyungsik started to inspire me so much less than i thought he could from the show.   2. I didn't label/tag this fic as romance, so i don't think the ending needs to be of those standard romance fics happy ending, no? the more i write this fic, the more i wanted to bring it towards the 'reality' route, albeit, it's a dramatic reality.   3. The Wonbin reference in last chapter is NOT my original idea but one i got from reading my blog's comment that made me LOL so hard and nodded in agreement. haha. so, i take no credit. (need to clarify this, don't wanna be caught plagiarizing idea lol)   4. How long have i decided on this fic's ending? well...i think somewhere before chapter 10? when ppl started to be so sure she'd end with Hyungsik just after one date. i kept saying i'm confused but truth is...if i said the ending is already set in stone, some of you might be able to guess it already. xD...sorry. i did get swayed towards the end from reading the comments but in the end i stuck with original ending. I think you'd have gotten some clues when i keep repeating that my priority in determining the ending is Seungah.   5. Jihyun n JB aren't my fav people as you have been told too many times already. if anything...it's the readers' love for them that made me smoothen their characters. which in JB's case...i think i've made his character too nice in contrast to what i see of him in the show n probly led to huge support for him. my own fault for being too soft n indecisive. if we go to the real show, Mir is probly my personal fav for Seungah though i disliked him at first. in the show, he does seem like the one who's most concerned about her. not even bonus points for hyungsik/jun.k after close observation lol.   6. i tried to bring in as much reality aspect to this fic as possible...though some came from gossip/rumours. like Jihyun's ex rumour. and Rainbow-4minute relationship rumour(which doesn't involve Seungah-Jihyun to clarify), fangirls of certain boygroups*coughs* hate on Rainbow(as in international...just look at how many fanfics that made rainbow as biatches...don't even mention those nasty youtube comments) amongst others.   7. And I guess it's clear by now that this story is about the parts that were cut off from official broadcast...lol. of course, from fictional pov...but who knows?...imagination can bring you to unexpected places.   8. and Hyungsik-Jei might not be as random as you think. if you watch back the show with subs..in the early episode Jei already said she had fate with Hyungsik cuz they wash dishes together...lol. see? there are so many possibilities of what really happened in the show that we might not get to see. of course they'd only talk about having feelings for their partner blabla *imlookingatyouhyungsik* bcuz what else would they say for the sake of their show n image?   9. If you noticed, the final chapter is laden with so many possibilities of the future. because their reality does not stop there. why happy ending must come in ten days if they still have a long road ahead of them? if everything already neatly tied and alls wells ends wells...what reason would there be for any sequel possibility?   10. Umm, yes, a sequel is possible...but there's no request for it...xD...and even if there are...i will need collaborative ideas because i don't have the confidence to still have overflowing inspiration n surprises...and i figured...many are already traumatized n lose faith after the end of this fic...personally...i'm always scared of possibility of sequel ruining the core/beauty of fics...because we all know it's an unwritten fact that sequels tend to . lol.     ♥♥♥     Q & A? (none of you ask the questions directly, i think but i extracted the questions from your comments...so, sorry if i missed anything lol)     1. Why did Jihyun call Seungah by her full name? (shoutout to rion_01) - i like this question, because you noticed it... so i'm gonna answer...lol. well, it's like their term of endearment(well, more like the opposite)...Seungah n Jihyun doesn't like each other. Seungah should've call Jihyun sunbae...but she called her Miss Nam/Nam Jihyun. Jihyun could've called Seungah unnie...but she called fullname. i just want a name they can call each other that is somewhat badass/mean/biatchy sounding but still maintain their distance/respect to show what kind of relationship they have. and i figured, full name sounded pretty badass enough. lol. hope it's not a disappointing explanation.   2. How the hell did Hyungsik end up with Jei? (shoutout to meLOVEyou,airhead,penangrawk,did i missed anyone) - Well, don't forget when Hyungsik confessed to Seungah, he already had his heart beating fast with two other girls already. How would he choose between them when he couldn't figure out, after thinking he fell for three girls? Wouldn't choosing someone totally unrelated would be the safest choice for him? and most fair? It'd be hard for him to choose Jihyun or Hyejeong since he already got attracted to both and only with Jei he had not test his feelings. And Seungah already paved the way of making shocking decision with her video message when she chose none of the guys, and herself instead, and at least i didn't make Hyungsik fell in love with Jei. he just realized the ten days didn't manage to make him have any real feelings for the girls. and he realized, he's possibly a subconscious player. Hyungsik-Jei isn't a pairing i decided to go with at first...but towards the last chapter...i figured this would be the best for him, even without Jei...he already showed his indecisiveness with Jihyun/Hyejeong/Seungah. Jei is the confirmation that all his feelings had not been as real as he might thought. and I never said Seungah would be special to him, but really..it's about your own interpretations...don't limit yourselves. She can be special...she's the only one who knew Hyungsik's dilemma with himself and his feelings for all girls. She's his 'teacher'. lol. is that not special? i say it is. but it's up to your interpretations^^.   3. The ending is meant to surprise people, since it hasn't been mentioned/hinted at all? (shoutout to meLOVEyou) - Well, as i said above, the ending for Seungah had been set from early chapters. the plot and chapters were meant to confuse you guys (cuz i'm evil like that) but i won't deny that surprising people is one of my joys. maybe because i loved to be surprised myself lol. rest assured, it's not a last minute decision just to shock ppl for the sake of shocking people. lol.   4. Who the others' chose? (shoutout to krusty,elsamonica,and everyone else wh
