"Instead, they remind her of herself; half torn from criticism and confidence yanked away from her struggling body."

notes:

I remember reading this some time ago, before TWICE came to be and SIXTEEN was still on. But before that, I remember gaping at my laptop screen in disbelief because Momo had been eliminated and I was literally biting back retorts and dirty comments for JYP because he could use a piece of my mind at that moment. Then a few days later, after that disappointing and obviously quite shocking elimination of one of the best contenders for his new gg, I was browsing through the sixteen tag and found this. 

It centers around momo's elimination, and how she coped up. It's written really well; very descriptive and very emotional. The words fit together, the sentences were structured perfectly. I enjoyed reading it, but at the same time, my heart was breaking into these tiny little pieces because duh, momo was gone. eliminated. not a candidate for debut anymore.

but then, YES, JYP made one of the best decisions by ignoring his own rules and the public's opinion to let Momo be back on the game and to let her debut in TWICE. Suddenly, I thought of this fic and when I looked at it the next day, sure enough, there was an update. This fic is now cannon
