2. All prompts are open to interpretation. Do remember to write a paragraph explaining how your story relates to the prompt.

Chapter 11: Awww thank you for that review!! ^^

About the title? Well, it meant that Jongup couldn't "discover" himself... and all his life, he'd been doing what everyone else had forced him to do. So he just wanted to become someone whom he could "understand". Lol does that make sense? It sounded better in my head >< But yeahh, it's kind of a hidden meaning that people probably wouldn't catch... so I understand why ^^"

And my grammatical errors.... lol I must be really blur to miss those >.<

I never really specified what really happened on the 26th to make it special... though I thought that readers might be able to guess when I put in the flashback part while Jongup was dancing. So, the 26th was actually the date Hae Rin and Jongup first met :)

Yeahh.... I need to stop rushing my stories >< I'm terrible at sticking to one pace, cos I get too excited to move on to the next part xD

Really? You like my writing style? Wow, that's a first >.< But I agree with my sentences being very repetitive.... I just don't know how to vary them...

And AWWWW.... I'm glad you actually picked out your favourite sentences ^^ It's nice to know that someone actually took note of them :)

Thank you, again.... For hosting this contest and writing this review and EVERYTHING<3

Chapter 12: Thank you so much for the review! I'm actually surprised that I got as high of a score as I did. I was expecting worse. I'm glad you liked the story since when I wrote it, I felt like it was kind of cliched. I was surprised by how many people liked it. It's one of my most popular oneshots to date, and my oneshots usually get neglected compared to my longer works.

Regarding the word "would," it's not always used as part of a conditional statement (with "if"). The way I was using it was simply as the past tense of "will."

I agree about Sungyeol's characterization. He had a voice in the story, but it wasn't strong and distinct enough. Part of the reason there was a disparity between how Jihyun saw him and his actual character is simply because she didn't fully understand him. The other part of it is because I personally view Sungyeol in this way: on the outside, he has that "choding" image that everyone associates with him, but in fact, he's not particularly innocent or immature. Being a prankster does require some wiles, after all, and he does have the capacity to think deeply. Extroverts don't have to be childish or shallow by default.

I also get what you mean about the beginning. There were parts of the narration that sounded oddly formal, and that's because in general, my writing takes a more formal tone. Since I was writing in first person, I had to remember that the narration needed to sound like my character and not like me, and it took me a while to find the characters' inner voices, I guess.

Thank you again, and I know how you feel about the autosave thing since I've lost many a blog post because of it. I think Jason's probably working on that feature. My recommendation is that you type these kinds of things in a word processor first (and save it) to avoid losing things.

Chapter 9: Wow, this is an honor. First time I've ever won first place in a contest. :O Thank you so much for hosting this contest!
Congratulations to the other winners as well! :D

Wait, when she accepted Sungyeol the first time they met or when they saw each other again in the future? But you're definitely justified in questioning that...I won't brick you. xD
