Author's Note: Regarding the differences between this and Hoya's real story

The Wonder Kid

Some of you know Hoya's true debut story by heart, as I do, and may feel a bit put off by my version of it. Not that you don't like it, but that you notice the difference. I don't feel the need to justify anything because it's all fiction in the end, but I did want to point out what started my writing this story. My original intention was to keep it very close to his real story but as I was shaping the OC and their relationship I realized that really wouldn't be possible. If I recall correctly he was a JYP trainee for a bit before he joined Woollim. I was aware of how his story actually plays out whith his parents and that he was younger when he actually left home and when he changed his name, but for the sake of the plot I changed it up without HORRIBLY altering it. Hoya's story is very touching and deserves more writing than I could possibly have the time to dedicate to him. If I really tried I could keep it to the exact detail of his journey (at least the details available to us fans), but if I did that I would need a lot of time and a lot of chapters. As it is now I'm a pre-med university student with test after test to study for and can't possibly do his story justice. Still I want to stay true to his struggle at least partially. I really hope you all are enjoying it :) I'm sorry I can't update more often but at least I have a few new chapters or you including chapters 8 and 9 :) maybe 10 if I don't have a lot of end-of-the-year company come over.

Chapter 7: The story gets more and more exciting! Can't wait to see what will happen next. What will happen to him and Sara? How will he meet the other members? What other circumstances will he meet?
Yes Hoya is talented but actually Hoya wasn't called for audition, he went to audition by himself and failed a lot of them and he also had to work part-time jobs before he was accepted as a trainee. His father was mad at him and according to his history he will drop out of school before graduating. His story was actually pretty sad , especially with his father. It wasn't really easy for him after he ran away from home. He also said that he won't return home before he succeeds. The reason why he is successful now is because Hoya is strong, confident and he won't give up until he gets what he wants and that's one of many reasons why I love him so much.
Anyways you don't have to write everything according to his real life story, because I love your story the way it is, I just wanna share this part because I think it's a really touching story. I'm pretty sure your story will be a little different or not and I will like it a lot. :)

Chapter 6: Yay another lovely chapter for this story. I feel kinda sad that they aren't as close as they used to be, even though they both found what they truly like and it's something different. I still feel happy for them that they found what they want to do in the future. Hoya finally changed his name, and I think he will meet the other members of Infinite soon, and I hope he will maintain his friendship with Sara. :)

Chapter 3: This story is cute. I really like it. But you made a mistake with Hoya's name. You explained that you used the name Lee Ho Gong, because it was his name before he changed it to Lee Howon, but it was actually Lee HoDong, and not HoGong. You wrote it correctly sometimes though, but then got back to HoGong. It's not a critic or anything, but I just wanted to point that out. But since you already started with the other name, I think it's fine to keep going with it. It's up to the writer anyways. :)
