Old Habits Die Hard

Fireflies: The Man From Nowhere Sequel

Old Habits Die Hard


 

She was making a habit out of this.

He knew it. But he didn’t have the heart to stop her.

Besides, he enjoyed her company.

There were no one else who would want to stay near him, anyways.

So, every now and then, she would make an excuse to sleep over.

The rain gave her good excuses.

So, did working late on her assignments.

At times, she would turn up late at the apartment, citing field assignments as the reason.

And she would spend the night, after calling her parents to ensure her safety.

And he would let her.
 

 

 

 

Author's Note

 

First up, thank you so much for subscribing and reading Fireflies thus far.

Thank you too for those you have left me comments, PMed me and even tweeted about Fireflies - with queries, words of encouragement and/or to share thoughts on the story and the movie it is based on in general.

I apologise if the story can be somewhat confusing, different from the normal genre you are used to, have subject matters that do not appeal to the masses, have a myriad of characters that can boggle the mind and so full of angst.

But that's the beauty of live fanfiction.

You can help me truly decide on where this fic should go.

For instance, till now I haven't really decide on whom So-Mi should eventually end up with (tho to sooth my own Minsul heart, I do promise you a happy ending) - whether with someone much older than her but very much loved, or someone who is closer to own age.

So, do continue to drop me lines of your thoughts, rave and rants, and I hope to deliver a story that will hopefully remain long in your hearts and minds.

Thank you and much love always, foxi :)

Chapter 81: Wow. I decided to watch The Man From Nowhere after years of hearing about it. After I finished that, I decided to look for fanfics on it and I'm elated that I found yours. You perfectly captured the chemistry between SoMi and her Ahjussi and wrote it in such a beautiful way. I was at first surprised by the short chapters, but then noticed how they were like scenes within a movie. Thank you so much for finishing this story. It was an incredible read!

Chapter 81: Wow! I don’t think I have any words to tell you how awesome this story was. I also fell in love with the movie when it first came out and I thought they should have put a scene of them together in the future. This story just healed my heart! Thank you for this.
I have read so many fanfics from many different fandoms but this one is the best. Why, because you are an exceptional writer! The way you incorporated Korean words into the story made it feel real. Your words were so smoothly written, each word flowing into the next without any hesitation. It felt like I was watching a movie...an exceptionally well made movie. With great actors, director, script writers. This felt like a full fledged big budget movie to be honest. I don’t know how you did it but I am in awe.

Thank you for sharing this story with us. Ps I’m forever your fan now. :)

Chapter 81: Just finish re-reading and still am in awe of your writing skills..

The ending is perfect..nor am I hinting for an update ...
Somtimes i wonder if they had a child... I hope so ahjussi would make a cool dad and would at last replace what was taken away from him.

Much love and God bless ...
