Chapter 24: An update yayyy \o~o/
I have noticed that all the edited chapters include more Ethereal kinda bonding moments?? I don't know how to explain it, but every edited chapter has more Ethereal interactions than the original versions did which is good because then, when they all get closer to Saeron we will see a bigger change. Saeron rarely talked with the four original members and the four members rarely also talked with her, both sides are uncomfortable with each other, which is realistic. Saeron was added out of the blue, Ethereal was meant to be a 4 membered girl group and she was supposed to debut as a solo artist, all of them didn't get what they were expecting.
WHAT JANGMI SAID TO DAJUNG THO WHILE SLEEPTALKING OMG, I'M DYING "Mind your own business" TBH SAME
Jangmi making fun of Meilin's clothes is my favorite part mostly because all she wants to do is to get Meilin to wear clothes similar to hers so she can say that they are matching, I ship it. Meilin's fashion sense might be disastrous but who cares when she got such a pretty face hahaha (I actually really like her fashion sense though, it's so casual and laidback)
So happy you decided to write about more stages instead of only the one Kyulbin got injured, it gave more insight into the girls debut.
I'm also glad you're giving all the girls individual activities instead of making for example, Saeron have everything /looks at gugudan/ Mentioning Gugudan I'm curious how you'll make Sejeong's and Saeron's relationship develop.

Thanks for updating authornim ^^

Chapter 23: Ooohh gooosh Xiao and Wooshin >.< the fans are so many though :0 I hope in the future the fans will come to the shows to see Ethereal as one, but as of now I appreciate the fans for coming, eventhough they each came with their own reason. Ethereal is just starting I guess so they still have far to go...but wow though on their debut day already so many surprises and extra performances >u< chants ETHEREAL ETHEREAL ETHEREAL!! ^^9
Wooshin and Xiao are so playful here my heart can't handle this. Aw Alaska smiled -- I repeat the Zhao Meilin smiled!! I wish I was there to witness it T^T aw Dajung's introduction is cute ♡♡ I love Mr Potter and Shooting Love <3 I feel dumb for asking but whats an oral tradition? :"D ahaa of course I enjoyed I dont know <3 man Ethereal is slaying
Ah Meilin got asked first ~ Meilin issokay dont be nervous you can do this!! I wonder what Meilin is thinking and feeling on the inside, there are many people in front of her :"
Jangmi please :"D aha wow awesome memorization Jangmi ~ Dajung aw if I were her I'd be more nervous tbh :') you can do this lets shake off the nervous feeling. Kyulbin wow there you surprised me :"D and Saeron ~ :3 produce 101 oh my i! am! screaming! So many performances i like i like <3 HER OMG OuO I LOVE HER (the song) aahh HER would be such a cool concept for girl groups to use / do
HOLY HECK thats a lot of hearts views and subscribers :0 food will be arriving soon xD and that part "as she grabbed one of the many fried chicken pieces" lel no one can stop Kyulbin when shes hungry aha
Pizza of course x"D ah Dajung :"( waeee...I hope she eats, no matter how little or how much. Ah family...I hope Meilin and Dajung are okay :" ahahaa Jangmi and cars..I wonder how that equation turns out like :"D
Meilin and Dajung's Chinese moment though -- i love <3
I LOVE BOTH SURPRISES YOU ARE SO EXTRA OMG ;_; thank you for updating ♡

Chapter 23: THIS WAS FAST OMG I WASN'T EXPECTING SUCH FAST UPDATE OH MY
I was really happy seeing that you altered the MCs to Wooshin and Xiao (they are so underrated and I feel so bad for Wooshin, I hope he recovers quickly, I really hate it how knetz have the tendency of twisting everything)
Oh man, Produce 101! That Growl performance was everything tbh, every single member of that group could be a main dancer, Call Me Baby was also such an underrated masterpiece, Eunwoo deserves so much more love as a vocalist and of course Turtle Ship which was one of the best rap performances alongside Rhythm Ta.
HER is my favorite Block B song (also loving it how it becomes kind of a lesbian love song when sung by female idols, how cute and the fact that it was Seojun that suggested it makes it even cuter hahaha)
I'm shipping 99 liners duo so hard right now it hurts authornim, I feel like I'm betraying my second favorite ship in Ethereal, the all mighty DaKyu.
Those Taeyeon gifs are so cute oh my god, she's so cute and I'm not over the fact she's turning 30 soon, sincerely shook
Rain 51DB mv is so aesthetically pleasing I love it ♡

Chapter 22: DAMN GIRL YOU GETTING ON TOP OF THOSE UPDATES AGAIN!
Xiao and Wooshin yessss - my boys underrated af man. LOL SASSY MAKNAE STRIKES AGAIN. I hope Saeron will be able to reach that level of comfort around her members soon.
ALKSMDKD SO MANY VIDEOS IM LIVING. Bro I almost forgot how much I loved Shooting Love ahh.
And there's the drama question - Meilin be hitting us with future-seeing abilities.
OMG PRODUCE 101 PERFORMANCES IM LIVING X2 I MISS MY GIRLS SO MUCH MAN.
Oh god don't trust Jangmi with a car please for everyone's safety haha.

Chapter 22: ALKSMDASJN IM HERE OK
Tbh even though Jangmi puts up a strong front, we all know she's actually quite insecure so her getting cautious about Saeron is quite understandable. It can be daunting to think that a new girl is becoming close to not only your boyfriend, but best friend as well (even if Meilin doesn't think so).
DAJUNG STILL USES "SSI" OMG HOW CUTE
Despite being my own character, Jangmi is really starting to annoy me. She's too sensitive and her line between personal live vs. career is way too blurred. LIKE GIRL FORGET TAEYONG AND WORRY ABOUT THE GROUP YOU'RE MEANT TO BE LEADING.
CHICKS BEFORE FAM
Lol true that - lets try to avoid jail Taeyong-ah.
WITH FISHCAKES FOR SHO MAN. Ah I'm hungry now...
I really do love how subtle you are with Dajung's eating habits. Shut up Jangmi no one asked your fat lmao.

I chocked - 5 am?! gURL GET SOME SLEEP OMG. Ffs ofc it's about TY Track. Can you go 5 minutes without mentioning your beloved boyfriend Jangmi.
Everytime I see Taipei I think of Guanlin's "swaggy rapper" intro jesus christ. I'm sure that while they are a bit jealous of the individual attention that Meilin will get, they know deep down that it'll help the group too. Netizens need to stop with their unnecessary articles tbh.
OMG THATS SUCHA CUTE PHOTO OF ROSE - I MEAN DAJUNG. Pftttt and y'all say Ethereal are flops - FIGHT ME. Dajung is very strong and mentally-matured character despite her age. Having left such a politically-strict nation full of oppression just to chase her dreams omg.
It's natural to be worried about an aspect that you aren't comfortable in Kyulbin, don't worry too much. YAAL PRACTICE YOU HAVE TO! NO PIZZA TO BE LEFT BEHIND!!! Lol you mean painted Ong's face haha.
Saeron is the maknae of the group yet has been through so much of the negatives in the entertainment industry that I can understand why her addition to the group is neccessary. I SHIP DAJUNG AND SAERON OH MY. I agree with your opinion on Jangmi Saeron.
Another great chapter my fellow 00 liner x

Chapter 22: i really like how most of the editing done to the chapters is to include moments between the members tbh, the girls interacting with each other is one of my favorite things
the titles and the pictures that you used for the pov's are all so beautiful i think i'm in love (jisoo and that purple hair omg and rosé is so cute ;;)
i'm shipping dajung and saeron, they need a couple name asap
thanks so much for updating authornim also, you don't have to feel the need that you have to update Ethereal fast, do it how you like authornim ^^

Chapter 22: ahh that picture of yebin though --- i dont know if its intentional or not but yebin's blonde hair is somehow a mirror of the blonde hair kyulbin's supposed to have (like joy). like coincidentally kyulbin's face claim also has blonde hair. im shook. whatever it is, i like it! <3
lel calculating the stage -- kyulbin you know you are hopeless with numbers, put your faith on the stage instead of your calculations xD bahahaa meilin and kyulbin's interactions are one of the reasons im breathing. i live for the two of them (interactions). i think kyulbin and meilin is my 2nd otp? fudge that all of my otps are number one in my hearteu equally. kyulbin + food = true love (ps i would die to hear meilin laugh. seriously)
okay i lost it in saeron's pov. her pov made cry inside. *mentally reaches out to saeron* dont you cry ;_; (okay but aside from that am i the only one who's going crazy because yay LostHeaven's characters interacted with each other. i spot another ship about to sail). that kiss though -- a perfect kill, like the cherry on top of the cherry thats already on top (like super extra, in other words).
regarding you author's note ;
ahahaa tis fine, dont worry a kyulbin in her natural self balances out the sad vibe of the other girls' pov :"D it would be fun to see kyulbin not being herself one day, but as of now, im okay with whatever way you choose to portray her ^^ dont apologize its finee, you can do it later on. you did great! *mentally hugs you*
its okay, your updates always brightens my day. so update whenever you can. take it easy, dont pressurize or force yourself to write okay? and yaaas kill me already i cant wait for the next chapter
ps : i apologize for my behaviour today. i dont know what got to me

Chapter 22: darn i think im gonna spam --dont mind me just a reader in her usual hyped mode-- [apologies for overcommenting. if you dont like it please tell me so i'll stop ;_;]
i know that jangmi is kai's younger sister, but i never felt that she rode on her brother's fame? how can people say that *shakes my head furiously*. it would be awesome if there are future interactions between jangmi and kai or kai can randomly appear out of thin air in ethereal's dorm -
oh gosh. your writing has this deepness into it that keeps me on my toes. there's this subtle sad vibe in jangmi's pov and i just wanna reach out to jangmi T_T its new to see jangmi not in her loud and usual self. sad jangmi = sad me. taeyeong being suspicious af hmm i wonder whats going on? ohohohoho cant wait for the next chapter >u<
meilin's pov are always beautiful, puzzlingly beautiful. its sad that her family cannot come to her debut, i'd bawls my eyes out or personally drag my family (in a non violent way) all the way to korea if i were meilin. oohh meilin is still a mysterious character to mee ~ i wonder (part 2) about her background and family, what shaped her to the way she is? zhao meilin should be the world's 8th mystery. there's nothing wrong really if you have a rbf or a cold expression i mean people cannot always control it. meilin musn't always put a giant packman smile on her face everytime, i mean alright she has to smile once in a while as to not seem rude but really idols dont have smiles permanently etched on their faces. i would be more glad if meilin smiled genuinely tbh rather than smiling because people forced her to ;_; and yeees! kyulbin will be your knight in shining armour meilin, she'd gladly rescue you from anything that dares to hurt you! be yourself meilin, under your flaws i know that you are a genuine and good person
that picture of rose though -- so cutee :3-- ok
woaah i wonder when she'll tell ethereal that shes a north korean citizen? nonetheless im sure ethereal will have her back. "Maybe she was in love with Mark" ok that is enough i will hold on to this :") but if its not meant to be then so be it. im happy as long as dajung's happy, whether she has or does not have feelings for mark. i agree, two difficult positions of a group are the visual and the face of the group. if you are fotg, if you mess up, then people will mess up your group. the impact will effect the group. as for the visual, she must constantly put herself within korea's/people's beauty standards, battles with diets and not over eating, making sure that she herself looks pretty 24/7.

Chapter 22: its here its hereee *turns myself into an ambulance siren*
oohh it would be cool if dajung was reading the book with meilin's round harry potter glasses (if she has one). man fruit ninja was one of the highlights of my childhood (and it still is). Ohooo i spot jealous jangmi ~ seriously i love how jangmi considers meilin as her wife..legit goals!
OMG you made all of the members pov here and the group as a whole im touched ;-;
woaah meilin's icy aura made me shudder. it would be interesting if you can expand and add more moments of meilin and her out of the ordinary (yet still extraordinary) personality. have a situation where there are lots of people around her or a stranger manages to get near to her? (omg i sound so evil im so sorry). i read somewhere in her app that when it was meilin's birthday once people surprised her and she passed out? poor girl ;_; let me catch you meilin. i also read in past chapters how the girls of ethereal take in consideration about each girl's personality (like when meilin is having a birthday but they did not surprise her, minding the fact of how meilin reacts towards surprises) and it genuinely truly makes me happy. but then again im always happy with whatever you write so hehe <3 wow meilin's reply to saeron though..im shoooked. ahaa meilin told saeron to refrain herself from complimenting her in the future, but her blush says otherwise ;D what happens if a member continuously compliments meilin not only on her beauty but her talent, her personality no matter how flawed? i have not read all members apps yet (will soon do because im at the peak of my curiosity) but if meilin really dislikes compliments then waah im so sorry T_T
jangmi here making me confused. first she wants dajung to call her unnie but fights back kyulbin who called her madam xD lel. woaah im fascinated with dajung's stuttering ~ is it a habit or something? its cutee ^^ the second you mention tteokbokki i kid you not my stomach rumbled hungrily.
"its just a couple name, anything is fine"
take my heart meilin
take it, break it. its yours to break anyways (this is cheesier than a cheesy factory)(but aye im in my natural habitat which is ethereal)(lemme show my love for ethereal)

Chapter 15: woaah -- Jangmi's last line hit me right in the heart. I hope Jangmi will believe in Saeron.
The changes were fine! It blended with the current story and gave me better insight on Saeron's background so no worries! This chapter was lengthy but gold, both quality and quantity. Thank you so much for updating! ^^ <3 gooood luck on your finals, I hope you pass with flying colours roseus! Dont forget to take care of yourself and dont be stressed when exam season rolls in okay? No noo you are not being biased here, I understand why Meilin was chosen, and its fine! I agree with @ LostHeaven, Meilin and Saeron collabing could be a step towards a better relationship in the both of them (ps i lowkey ship the two of them so...*coughs* yep). last but not least, i love loona. have you seen the latest loona girl? i have, and i am dead asdfghjkl

Chapter 15: Ahaaa Jangmi and Taeyong's conversation :") reminds me of the first time I read this chapter before it was edited, the two of them are so cute I just wanna squish the two of them together >u< (right now i sound weird). In my perspective, if I were to face a CEO I would've peed in my pants and ran away, or vibrate/shake and stutter the entire time. But man Jangmi came in there and literally did a face to face with the CEO. Its good to see Jangmi slowly trying to embrace her position as a leader, frankly my heart lit up when Jangmi said I am Ethereal's leader. Its touching and honestly thoughtful of Jangmi thinking about her members, about Meilin and Dajung's social problems. I am still curious on Meilin and strangers, also Dajung and her stuttering. I wonder how Dajung was like when she stuttered also how Meilin would react when she meet strangers or in a large group of people. I hope the two of them are okay. You have a brilliant way of rising the curious peaks of readers and captivate them and throw them off-guard with details. Good job roseus!! <3 ps : I live for Jangmi's I miss you(s), its like a new side of her I am not used to seeing. Also blackhole belly, is that Jangmi or Kyulbin? xD rip slap me if I got the answers wrong

Saeron and Meilin are awkward with each other, but I suddenly get hyped and swooned when Meilin stopped Saeron from picking up the broken glasses to prevent herself from getting hurt. Tsundere, I tell you. I wanna get myself a Meilin :") (ignore me ignore me ignore me). I am happy that Kyulbin is trying to befriend Saeron, Saeron's just too precious T_T. Man ShinCom should stop making Saeron do many activities, she probably breathes and sneezes in money. Andwaee why is Saeron loosing her spark T_T bring back smiling angelic Saeron, again she's too precious
Saeron's thoughtful way of thinking about Ethereal's members, its touching. I am here on behalf Kyulbin and she would like to say thank you to Saeron for thinking of her ajhsdahfhjjkfkj ok i lost my mind. But seriously though if Kyulbin heard what Saeron did, she'd bow down to her and reward her with a lifetime of free lunch :"). Waahh Meilin oppa, I never knew she was called this :"D
YAASS REUNION taeyong seems so natural (in a big brother kind of way) with saeron, it gave me goosebumps. again it seems all of ethereal's members have some sort of connection with taeyong (?) except kyulbin xD but dats okay. TAEYONG BLUSHED WHAT IS THIS SORCERY at first i though taeyong seems so cold he could cut diamonds with that sharp jawline of his..but here he seems so fun loving and free and a softie (?) i am melting. Chances of Saeron being decapitated..ohkay...but idk why but Meilin's way of saying it got me slightly laughing? nooo jangmi dont misunderstand T_T taeyong loves you more than you love pizza ok

Chapter 15: i am hereee im so sorry T_T
oh wow now there's finally a clearer insight on saeron's past experience in produce 101. that means yeonjung did not make the cut right? and holy - 1 million votes. 1. million. thats a lot..but wae must she leave ioi ;_; *sobs* saeron is an angel..how can she still stay strong and not break down? she was just about to start the journey with ioi yet she ended the journey before she even began. my heart mourns along with ioi T_T
When Somi cried I cried along on the inside.
Okay but that scene where Somi approached Sejeong -- my mind immediately visualize the two in a korean drama way (dont blame me, idk why either :"D). Like, Sejeong is so real, the way you portray her, I can actually imagine Sejeong doing it. What are you doing to me roseus why is my hearteu beating fast? I SHIP SAERON SEJEONG YAS what do we call this couple? SaeSe? 2Se / 2Sae (since their names both start with sae/se)? Saeron and Sejeong's conversation is so drama-like I wannacry T_T oh man you just had to put downpour -- now I am in a downpour :") #lamepun #ignoreitpls and to kill off the scene with a bang, Saeron's drama-like lines. This gotta be one of my fave parts so far -- no wait, everything is my fave part
oh my now its back to the present -- i like the way you jump between timelines, aju niceu! *two thumbs up* its so silent there are probably crickets there in the background :"D

Chapter 15: I dont its possible to stress how much I adore this chapter like everything about is amazing?!!!
The dialogue between Donghyun and Saeron
The interactions between I.O.I and Saeron
THAT ADORABLE MOMENT BETWEEN SAERON AND SEJEONG YES I SHIP IT! "See that, right there? Your complete obliviousness of how amazing and lovable you are is one of the 101,000 things I love about you." That has to be one of the cutest things in this chapter for sure, man Sejeong and Saeron really do suit each other, the black hearted child and the white hearted baby, individually they can make other colors lighter or darker and together they are grey omg I have to stop with the theories, this isn't a bts or monsta x mv
No but legit, Saeron probably breaths money with all the activities she has done xd, she's probably as rich as YoonA or Siwon is and she hasn't even made her official debut lol
TAEMI I SHIP (DURING ETHEREAL PRE-DEBUT DAYS THAT IS) That phone call was actually so cute and is actually relationship goals tbh, I want to have conversations like that with a boyfriend (that i'll never have)
ALSO, OMG THAT MINWOO AND JANGMI ARGUMENT! I loved how you presented all the members' problems with Saeron's addition, Meilin being scared of strangers must be very tiring considering she will have to meet fans and other idols while she's promoting...
Saeron is just too nice tbh, like she made it a point to state that she had nothing against Meilin participating in her single several times but wanted Kyulbin to participate in it because she knew it would be a popularity boost but Minwoo didn't bother to listen to her.
First of all, omg LOONA is amazing, I recently got to know them cause of JREKML they are all so talented and ViVi is such a queen I can't even.
"I know what the truth is, and the truth is that I don't like that boyfriend of yours and I'll never will." I can see that being said in korean drama tbh

PS. My heart broke as I imagined Somi saying 'They can't just take you away'
Saeron saying goodbye to the building really hurt as well! "I'll take the best of you with me and lead by your example wherever I go, I won't let you down"
Thanks for the amazing update authornim, and it was indeed a very long chapter but you talked about important things and you even described the before and after relationship of Ethereal before Jangmi found out about Saeron's friendship with Taeyong.

I never really thought you were biased towards your character tho? It is easy to see in the color coded lyrics of the albums that you do the exact opposite??? Meilin is a lead vocalist give her more parts authornim! She's the visual and like you said was the most popular member before Saeron joining so it makes sense her being the female lead for 'Would U' and rapping in 'Everyday I Love You'.

Chapter 14: bahahaa barefoot kyulbin makes an appearance :"D oh my seojun should stop exposing her ahahaa. About the last chapter, its true Seojun should not interfere too much, even if he is ethereal's manager. But come to think of it, Seojun is also having his own problems. He has newborn kids to feed, not to mention taking care of his second children aka ethereal who are basically young teens going through puberty and all :")
Voice crack xD ahaa Kyulbin would definitely record that and set is as her alarm :") maaan i have many ships in ethereal but my #KyulDa / #KyulJung #DaBin #DaKyul feels here are the strongest. This line got me screaming my head off ;;;
"I refuse to sign a divorce, go ahead and sue me"
uhmm damn. that one line. dajung's a certified tsundere alright :'D and i spot tsundere number 2 *coughs**side eyes meilin**cough*
its funny how ethereal were easygoing and suddenly its all silence, ahaa these girls are still getting used to it but i see improvement so im happy <3
i screamed my head off part 2 when i see the songs mentioned. coincidentally i also love miracle by wjsn, street by gugudan and rain 51 db by loona :") and you mentioned my wjsn bias in the previous chapter :"D i was shook literally
Again great chapter, you've always outdo yourself roseus, thank you for updating, it makes me happy <3 ^^

Chapter 13: There's so many good hella deep drama lines here -
"What feelings could you have possibly hurt when I don't have any?"
"She's breathtakingly stunning, but then again there's nothing more to her. She's just a pretty face"
"You really dont have any compassion for other human beings, no wonder they eventually get tired of you and leave you"
"We aren't a book, you dont need to know every single page by heart in order to decipher us"
"I dont want to hear insincere apologies"
"And you're much more than just a pretty face"
Last but not least, my favourite line :
"Throwing shade?"
"Its one of my favourite leisure pursuits"

I like how you portray the girlgroup life realistically. Behind picture perfect idols, there's always a hidden story. It makes Ethereal seem much more real, and it scares me (in a good way), it also makes me fear ethereal breaking up and it drives me alive / slightly crazy? Lel that does not make sense at all
Its a good chapter, well done ♡ I am glad that In the end Jangmi and Meilin are on good terms with each other again

Chapter 9: After all this time I am still wondering who each girl are xD is the one in silver hair Jangmi? And I am guessing the one with purple hair is...Dajung?
