Comment Replies Lots of Love and Gratitude as Always : ) ~

BrownishBookwormSyah Yeah I agree!! I loved writing the Date : ) It was so much fun and sort of sad at times too.

Imnothing LOL. I had to research seme/uke because I couldn’t remember which was which…xD Also I was a bit miffed that there were people out there confusing Japanese culture and Korean culture so I thought I would make it clear in that chapter haha

Dongwoon/Mir/Taemin is VERY confusing. : ( They make me sad but it’s so much fun writing their angst and I suppose you readers are also enjoying it? Hopefully? Hmm…

But don’t worry!! ^^ I know what’s going to happen…sort of. I can promise that the three of them will be resolved by the end of the story! (That’s not a great promise I know…lol)

Aaah, Minho and Sungmin!! And Kyuwook yes!!! : DD

Thank you, you’re so sweet! <3 ^^

dasgljknfd!! Thank you again xDD I’m happy that you can see this as a live action drama lol. I thought I was the only one who could hear the music and see all of this happening as a movie strip.

Kironstree True dat yo. I dunno what’s going on with Mir >.> Sigh…lol, well I guess I sort of know what’s going on but really, he is very frustrating. When he started crying about Dongwoon all I could think was “Why are you doing this to Taemin??”

Yoonaismywifey Don’t let the battle in your head blow you up D: That would be unfortunate and you wouldn’t be able to find out how it all ends!

hahahani I agree to an extent. You could think about Joon’s theory ^^ Dongwoon is better for Mir because he’s everything Mir isn’t, meaning he could save Mir from all of the sadness of his past.

Or you could think about how much Mir loves Taemin :P Lol, I’ll stop now, promise!!

neonmoose Really?? I’m so glad that you liked the side couples!! I feel like I branch away from Kyuwook a lot but as you read about the other couples, you get a feel for the story beyond Kyuwook and I’m always happy when readers can feel love for Mir/Dongwoon/Taemin and Sungmin/Minho.

It may just be my opinion but it feels like Strong Heart wouldn’t be nearly as good if I just focused on KyuWook. Of course they’re important and the story is going to end focusing on them, but everything would be repetitive or boring or just…too fast if I didn’t talk about Ryeowook’s friends. Maybe I’m just too attached to all of these characters though! Haha ^^;;;

Awh, I’m sorry Kyuwook, MirXDongwoon, SungminXMinho aren’t together. I totally understand where you’re coming from though. It’s very frustrating to know that they keep dancing around one another (something that has dragged on for three stories…. ^^;;;; <3)

deeclemmy Sorry I didn’t update fast!!! I was so busy!! I didn’t even realize I didn’t update for so long! I hope you enjoy it : ) It’s not a long chapter but hopefully you’ll get a better feel for the characters

demonic_angel0711 Lol. I’m happy that you enjoy the story! Your comments make me smile too! Also, I totally forgot to tell you that I'm working on the JooMir  scene :) Sorry it's taking a while to post but it'll be done!! I promise!!

janghyunseungfreak8D I suppose this new chapter answered whether or not Ryeowook told Sungmin…lol. xD

Mir is rather adorbs, huh? : ) I really like how he is!

yuri_yoona I updated!

bubbleroses Minho is just becoming a pitiful character huh? : ( I starting to notice that as I read through more and more comments..lol. Poor guy. Don’t worry though, he’ll get some luck in the near future !

Wow, I’m so surprised by how many people loved Mir’s letter! Lol! It’s a good thing though!

I wonder if Sungmin will find out the truth about that night…lol, if it happens in the future that would be so cool! I wonder what the scene would be like :DD So exciting (I know I’m the author…lololol)

yuesan I hope Sungmin doesn’t hurt Ryeowook. But we’ll have to see because I really didn’t expect to right the scene as I did…^^;;;

Elfsomnia Aaah, I totally understand what you’re talking about. I went back a day or so ago and reread Mir and Dongwoon’s first meeting. Sometimes I consider revising it because Dongwoon and Mir were so not supposed to end up like this. In the beginning they were supposed to have a totally different relationship but it just…changed. Sigh.

In fact, you were right. Dongwoon was supposed to be just an obstacle. But….lol. Also, your comment has me wondering now what Dongwoon’s past is. That’s a good question…

MirXTaemin will be very prominent in Strong Heart so you can enjoy the shipper love xDD Taemin has such a sad story so I understand why you wouldn’t want him to be hurt by Mir.

gingerstockton Mmmhmm!! : ) Speaking the words of Joon the Matchmaker ^^ <3 Mir and Taemin just…hah. Can you tell I’m a DongwoonXMir shipper? LOL. Authors are allowed to ship their characters right? XD

It’s totally okay lolol, I was hoping someone would laugh when they heard Minho slept in a closet xDD

Nikkijade17 Minho is sucha beast!!! I absolutely fell in love with him when he did that for Sungmin : ) He’s just…sigh <3

I believe Sungmin just wanted a convenient escape so he wouldn’t have to admit that he cheated on Ryeowook. But that’s definitely not an excuse for using Minho’s kindness like that. He should’ve doubted him : (

Lost_feather We should tag team and take down Jonghyun DD:<  haha

Oh goodness, I feel like I should tear Kyuwook and MinMin apart now cuz everyone wants them together…kidding kidding (sort of :P ) We’ll see what happens from now on but I’m not really positive anymore since Strong Heart is really taking on a mind of its own.

Shalis_Darkhunter I really wanted to make this complicated love story so that’s definitely the reason why love is so difficult haha ^^

But really, when I consider if I’m being too unrealistic I think about human emotions and remember that the characters aren’t being too stubborn. In reality, if you think about each of their relationships, it’s understandable why they’re so resistant of one another. After all, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun have such a long, messy history. Sungmin and Minho were never on good footing yet they can’t stay away from one another. All the while, Sungmin and Ryeowook are falling love and trying to make a normal relationship work when it’s obvious that they’re being pulled in opposite direction by opposing forces.

Sorry, I started rambling!

Also (sorry again) it’s totally cool that you were a silent reader : ) I understand that this series is super long lol. ^^ Wow, I can’t believe you read so fast though!! Soft Heart was really long :O

LunettaRaine For an impatient person you’re very…patient lol XD I’m glad this fic makes you so emotional. That’s what I was hoping for when I wrote it : ) I want the readers to feel what the characters are feeling.

huykhae LAWL. <3 <3 Your comment made me laugh xDDD Jjong and Sungmin hooking up for some steamy nights? Haha, that would be pretty…that would piss Minho off to no end. Aww, yeah you’re right though!! Sungmin has like no life…even Ryeowook had a life xDD How sad is that?

Maybe Sungmin should’ve actually slept with Jonghyun…sigh. Too late now :O

No worries about MinWook getting all hot and heavy ;PP If and When they have it probably won’t be thoroughly written out. LOL. I totally agree that MinWook just isn’t a y couple. They should just stay all cute and huggable xD

almightymaget I wanna know how Ryeowook reacts to finding out about Sungmin cheating too!! That would be so intense!!

allison9087 I hope you like the updates!! : )And yes!! Ryeowook slapped Zhoumi and I was like “fdakjgbndjk!! YUS!! WOOKIE FTW!”

cloudy91 Hmm…I wonder too what Kyuhyun wanted to show Ryeowook. Is it sweet? :3 Probably. He has a soft spot for the little guy lol ;D

MUSHDIN0-x It’s ALLLLL Zhoumi’s fault D:< He’s sucha jerk…sigh. I was getting so upset with him as I wrote his character in The Date. 

Peperpy23 I agree!! If Zhoumi hadn’t been around, nothing bad would’ve happened on the KyuWook Date : (

x cashewlover_14 I meant to see if you were still confused about the Zhoumi, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun thing. If you are the basic idea is this:

Kyuhyun is still hurt by what Zhoumi did to him (breaking up, cheating, etc.). He acts like it doesn’t bother him and channels all of the sadness into anger.

When Kyuhyun sees Zhoumi all happy, he can’t help but get angry and want to hurt Zhoumi. So he uses Ryeowook as a way to sort of get back at Zhoumi.

The reason Kyuhyun eventually starts to act civil with Zhoumi is because he sincerely misses Zhoumi and as they spend more time together, the anger turns back into sadness which then turns into denial. Kyuhyun wanted to be with Zhoumi like they used to be.

Ryeowook got upset because he knew Zhoumi hurt Kyuhyun badly. When he saw Zhoumi acting all friendly and flirty with Kyuhyun, he lost it and let all of his anger out.

Does that make sense or is it confusing?  

rayleigh97 Oh yay! I Ship Kyuwook too!! lololol

SCANDALICIOUS Zhou Mi is so a Kyuwook blocker ;PP LOLOL. Aawh, thanks for loving the story (and me lol) xD <3

kuranyuuki I love KyuWook too!! I always mean to write other couples in my other stories…but it’s always about KyuWook DD: I dunno why!! LOL.

aegigongju15 <3 back to you ^^

confuzion OH MY GOODNESS. You read all of the stories that fast?? You should’ve slept more than three hours ^^;;;;; <3  But thank you for the compliment haha

Aaaw, I don’t know what to say now :’ ) You’re very sweet for saying all of that. It always means a lot when someone tells me that my writing has made them want to cry or well, feel emotion in general, as you put it.

Whenever I’m writing this, I think about all of these things that have to do with language and it feels good to see that people are noticing it lol ^^

meijih03 aww? Thank you!! Lol, I’m pretty sure your “aww” had to do with something adorable in the story <3

4ever_kpop_love It’s true : ( Poor Kyuhyun just never got over Zhoumi. I really wish he could’ve gotten closure. That’s the most important thing.

Also, Minho and Dongwoon are just so sad when they write those love letters. It’s really unfair that they can’t be with the ones they love.

SHINeeLover97 Oh no don’t worry about commenting!! I really didn’t put that Author’s note there for comments. I just really wanted to thank all of you. Every reader means a lot to me and I know for a fact that I rarely comment on stories that I read : )

CathyHuntres Don’t worry about commenting! Really, I don’t put up those author notes for more comments. I’m just trying to show my thanks because I don’t want to be one of those authors that takes every reader for granted. No matter what, I know that all of these readers are validating my writing and it means a lot : )

M3IQ1heartSUJU Haha thank you! : ) I really love writing this story and sadly my updates are slowing down. They should pick up again next month…or maybe not. I’m not positive yet.

I’m glad that you like that everything isn’t set in stone for the story. It just didn’t feel realistic to keep all of them in love with just one person because in reality, people just aren’t that devoted. They get wishy-washy and nervous and make mistakes. I was hoping to portray that uncertainty in this story : )

pandaxpikachu Hahaha I love when Kyuhyun is jealous too!! He’s just adorable :33 <3 <3 It’s probably because he’s always so mean so when you see him getting all possessive and stuff it ends up reading like a child who wants his toy back xDD

LOL. Don’t cry and cry and cry if Kyuwook doesn’t end up together ^^;;; They’re soulmates so maybe they’ll be together on that altar? I’m not sure : ) You’ll find out though! Not soon, but at some point in the future ^^ <3

The reason Sungmin chose “tall, dark and handsome” is because that really is his type haha xD Ryeowook is the exception to the rule though :’ )
 

It’s okay lol ^^;; I’ve been getting “I love you” thrown at me every which way from my other readers. Don’t worry about being creepy lolol

I have a feeling that Taemin's going to be alone unless another character comes in for him. I ship Dongwoon and Mir now. No questions asked. They're like my other Kyuwook.

You really ship Dongwoon and Mir as much as Kyuwook??? *o* I’m so HAPPY. Lol <3 That’s so sweet of you!!

Hmm…I guess Dongwoon and Mir would make MiWoon or DongMir? Something like that?

Illiora I’m not going to break up MinWook ^^

Note to You All!! <3

Aaaaah finally the Valentine's Arc is DONE. Goodness ^^ <3

Can anyone else tell that Strong Heart is going to be pretty long? Haha

Thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!! Oh my goodness, i don't even know what to say!! 60 Subscribers??? That's so insane!! : DD <3 And I hit 200 Subs btw LOL. I was just excited about it all and I wanted to thank you new readers for liking my story :) It really means a lot to know that you're reading and enjoying it.

I don't relaly have much more to say....well, I suppose I should say that udpates will definitely slow down in the coming week because I'm going to be CRAZY busy. After that, I'm probably still going to be busy ^^;;; (don't kill me!!) After February, things should start easing up but for now everything is just so hectic, that's why I hope you all forgive me for slow updates.

Furthermore, I'm really excited to show all of you what's going to happen ; ) I'm really excited!! There's going to be some intense stuff to come~

Sincerely,

Pandorasv13
