The One


 

Hello this omonachu! Thank you for clicking the link posted on the story. It really means a lot! Now that you are here. The purpose why I created this blog and linked it to the story is because I want to apologize and explain. I am truly sorry that I did not warn you that I would edit The One from the start. For those who felt that they had wasted their time reading it I am sorry.

And to those who have the heart to read on why I decided to edit it.

Here it is.

First off, I have created The One when I was in my second year of high school.

I know is that even a reason? To me, it is. When I was in high school I have never even thought of publishing a story on a site nor have I thought that I would even write one. Do you know the feeling of wanting to write whatever you had dreamt/thought of?

In my case, that was the reason for writing it. There was no plot just pure imagination. I would just write whatever I had in mind. You might ask "What's the problem about it?"  The problem is, my thoughts were disarray. I would write whatever I want, I would not care if it does not fit the character or the story. As long as I felt contended with it I would post it without thinking about the characters.

As the story gets more subscriber which I really did not expect because everything was made out of nothingness. It felt like I had this burden to make all of you like what I wrote. It ended up leading to a much bigger problem.

The burden of writing made me forget about my purpose.

As the story gets thousands of views there would always be requests filling in. It is actually fine with me as long as I could think of what to write. But that made me forget my purpose. As I was writing the following chapters, it made me think "Why am I writing this?" I looked at the draft that I had made and re-read it. I felt dissatisfied. "Since when do I write for something that I did not originally thought of?" At the end, I stopped writing. I would update once in a while but if you were one of the readers who had been reading it since the first version. You would know something is wrong. I did not update for the following weeks then months followed. Years followed and I still haven't found the answers I want. 

That then made me think "Why don't I just finish this for me to have less of a burden? It would make the reader's happy and the agony of waiting would stop." As some of you know, during the last chapters of the first version, I made you vote who you would like Nayoung to end up with. I got the answers and it prompted me to write the ending. After reading the draft, I asked myself "Why does Xiumin have more votes than Sehun?" If I were to ask the previous readers, they would probably answer "Because they, Nayoung and Xiumin, looks cute together" or "Because Sehun lost his chance to be with her." That's when I realized that I haven't explained nor gave Sehun the chance to explain himself. I did not give out scenarios where Sehun could be seen suffering from the heart break. I made him into someone who's a jerk to which I did not have any intention of doing so. I focused too much on Xiumin and Nayoung that I forgot there was also another boy getting his heart crushed.

I deleted the story's final chapter to explain Sehun's case. But to no avail, I got writer's block every time I think of something to prove his love for her. I really did try my best not to revise the story by reading everything from the start. But I could not think of a way to save Sehun's reputation. "How can I save him if I made him look like a bad person in the first place?" The readers would probably be too engrossed in thinking that Sehun is just another character wherein he does not have any heart because he toyed with the main character's heart. But that is not something I want.

I want to prove that this story is not the typical story that could be read in every site. That's why I revised it. I deleted everything except for the first chapter. I have included Sehun's appearance in the chapters and made it more realistic than the first version. Although, the following chapter has yet to be posted I promise that it would be more realistic compared to the first. By editing the story, I wish to show how sorry I am by improving the second version. I want to let the readers know Sehun's cause and not just Nayoung's and Xiumin's.

Some of you might ask "Then what happens to the votes that we voted?" Actually, I don't really know. I would probably make you vote again once it's the time to conclude the story. I want to give Sehun a chance first then ask for your opinion. With proper writing, there might be changes in the voting.  But if there is none, then I would happily write the ending that I think would fit best. At least then I have already explained everything.

On the positive side, I will include bonus chapters in the story. There would also be a time where you and the characters will have time to interact with each other. I hope that you guys would enjoy it more. See you guys in the future. Also, thank you for reading this till the end.

 

love,

omonachu
