Description

P R E C I O U S

What does the word mean to you?

What comes to mind when you hear this word?

Friends?

Family?

Your beloved k-pop idols?

So many things and so many people are precious to us, yet sometimes we overlook these things and these people, without even realising it.

Thus, through this writing contest, I hope to deliver this message :

Cherish all that/who are precious to you, for you never miss the water till the well runs dry.

Chapter 4: Oh my... I never thought I would see my own name in the list... And such a honorable spot makes me feel overwhelmed...

I am utterly happy to know you enjoyed the fanfic so much, and that you really felt what I wanted to convey. It was not the most spectacular story, that I am sure of, but that it still touched you, I am very very happy :')

I am speechless. The others did such a great job too :D This was so much fun! :D
