Wandering Lunacy

Description

After a three year disappearance, Jun runs into an old acquaintance who (more or less) doesn't seem that happy to see him; despite him being happy to see her. And now, he's forced his way into her life once again, which drives her mad. (And there's really nothing she can do. Except let the priersome boy in, and see what happens.)

WANDERING LUNACY

Halfway through her last year of schooling, Zhao Mei Fen disappears. Leaving behind her best friend, Wu Jing Hua, and a boy she swears she’d never meet again, Wen Jun HuiSpeculations ran amuck as the intensity of the situation sat in. Was she dead? Murdered? Kidnapped? No one was sure of anything as the days droned on and on.

Until that boy stumbled upon that girl, three years later in a different country. He was shocked, she was unnerved. The random occurrence, leads to a set of tribulations in both their lives, and the ones they love. All of it dating back to their past and why Mei left in the first place.

Chapter 2: If you ever log back in again, could you possibly think about changing the layout of this story so it's mobile friendly?

Chapter 30: Done reading this in one night, oh wow. This was a very well-crafted story. I never imagined that Mei's parents would be involved in that kind of thing.
1. I wanted to give credits towards Mei because of all the she's been through. But in all honesty, my favorite character is Minghao. He's like the "icebreaker" among all of the seriousness and emotional roller coaster. And then DUN DUN DUN... the truth has been revealed that he's actually the half brother! That made me like his character even more. He's just like Mei at some point. They kind of compliment each other's attitude and perspective towards their challenges in life.
2. Mei's parents. Nuff said!
3. My favorite scene would definitely be when Minghao shared his story to Mei. A different side of him was shown. Behind the thughao / savagehao attitude is actually a boy who's longing and hurting because of his real parents.

Chapter 30: It's unbelievable that it has come to an end but it's a happy end so I'm really happy here. And my wish came true, we met with the boys at the café, we got to know what happened to Jing Jing and Soonyoung, also Bella's family. You've ended this story really well and it leaves a pleasant feeling even thought there were a lot of hard and dark times. I liked the final thoughts of the story, that after fighting and suffering for so long, Mei found her happiness.
#1: I may be biased but my favourite is Mei. You said you were worried about her character but thoughtout the story I got to admire her for her mental and physical strength, she endured a lot and her character study was really detailed, the way she changed and faced with her fears instead of running away. She's really role model like but down-to-earth. I liked that about her very much. (But who doesn't like the boys and Jing Jing for supporting her no matter what?)
#2: There were a lot of enemies, a whole bunch of "evil" characters but they were shaped that way by their past. But I really don't like Mei's parents. They were terrible parents and there's no explanation that make their actions right.
#3: Oh, maybe it's the hardest to choose. I consider myself a romantic person so I ought to choose a heartwarming scene. I keep thinking about one but right now the last two chapters in all together are my favourites I think.
It's been quite a ride but I really loved this story. You should be proud of yourself. Thank you for Wandering Lunacy, it's been a pleasure to read it!

Chapters 29 & 30: Oh wow, I can't believe it's actually over! Everything wrapped up perfectly, Mei, Ming Hao, and Jun. The coffee shop boys. Jing Jing and Soon Young; even Bella and Lucca (and their son Alessandro). And even though I knew the answers to the questions on chapter 30, it's still nice that you laid it all out for some people who might skip it or get confused. (I feel bad for Min; not for General Roe though lol)

My favorite character is definitely Ming Hao, he was such a mean cutie; but, he showed he cared a lot and that's why I love him!
My least favorite character, is probably Mei's mother because she seemed to put Mei through more stress that her father did. With her always trying to get under peoples skin, and convincing Mei to do horrendous things.
My favorite scene was the where the boys went to the coffee shop, and watched Mei work all day to see if it was okay for her to work there. And then she had to drag them back to the apartment. It was soooo cute.

I'm so exicted for your new seventeen story, I already subscribed!! But, I'm still sad that WL has ended. It's definitely one of my favorite stories on AFF, and you should be proud for what you've done this story was beautifully written, it has strong characters (especially female characters), and you must've researched a lot for this because everything was so perfectly detailed!
Great job author-nim, can't wait for the new story!! ^^

Chapter 28: Thank you so much for this chapter! After all the horrible things that happened it was so light and kind of cheerful and it made me so happy so thank you! I've missed Jun and Minghao and everyone in the coffee shop (so I hope to see them in the next chapter) but especially the two boys. They are rays of sunshine, Mei needs them. With them she can have a normal life (hopefully). I was smiling all along from the moment Jun opened the door till the end. I love how he support Mei in everything and understand her so well. The coffee thing with Minghao was so funny, they are indeed best friends.
I'm a little sad that we're nearing the end but I'm glad that Mei's gonna have her happy end (I hope). I will miss this story for sure, it was so unique and really well-written. I'm glad I found this in the very beginning and I can be here till the end. <2

Chapter 27: I felt like this chapter was kind of like a tribute to Charlie. The stages of her grief was well-portrayed and it was painful to read. Though, it eased the pain a little that she wasn't alone, she had people around her who wanted to help even though they didn't know what to do but Min tried, it was nice of him and he really cares for her. And now, she's even braver than before. I'm so proud of her that she wrote that letter to the officer. She really needs this kind of closure. Also, Bella! Aw, I missed her so, so much. I almost forgot about her so it was so good and heartwarming to read about their relationship. In the middle of this drama, that scene really stood out for me. And finally, she's going home. I could only hope that Jun and Minghao are alright. I can't wait to read about them.
Thank you for this beautiful chapter!

Chapter 27: This chapter, it just, it broke my heart.
That scene where she sees Charlie's body, it got me so bad.
I could just feel her pain, like I actually am going through what she's going through.
I could feel her pain throughout the whole story, you did such an amazing job of making me feel immersed with the scenes.
And, I actually feel really bad for Min, I hope they meet in the future.
(Can't wait for the next chapter. Jun's going to be in it, right?! Please!!)

Chapter 26: Oh no, you said it would be sad but death? I should have seen it coming, it's North Korea after all but I really wished nothing would happen to them. The gala went surprisingly well, I was shocked and I knew that it's too good to be true, for agreeing to her decisiong this easily. It was dreamlike and things like this doesn't happen in real life. Li Xue's offer was pleasing but I'm glad Mei has a strong will and she doesn't choose the easier way. That part about her not being truly a child really got me in this chapter, that was so true. Also, it was brave of her to face any punishment because she thought they would target her, not her loved ones. Especially Charlie. I remember in the beginning I didn't really like him but now I'll miss him so much. He was there for Mei when Jun couldn't be. And now I'm so afraid for Mei. What if she does something stupid to get revenge? What if she gets hurt?

Chapter 26: I'm literally in a pool of tears right now!! How could u kill him??!! He's the only one who manages to comfort her out of the bunch; and Mei truly cares for him. And now he's dead, I just--I can't stop the tears! This chapter really got me. Like, they all make me cry; but, this one especially.
