A Fan's Heartbroken Confession + Update on Publication

Married To My Boss
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

The first time Wu Yifan broke my heart was in the year 2014.

I remember the pain I felt when I read the news – Yifan had left EXO in a very irresponsible way (left without telling anyone) and I cried out of disappointment for three days straight. Since then, I didn’t really follow his journey as a solo artist; even now, I don’t religiously follow his activities but he always has a place in my heart – maybe because he was my first EXO bias? I’m not sure.

And now this.

I read a post here and honestly I didn’t know what to feel. I know I’m not the only one disappointed right now, and some may even try to defend his actions. If you are defending him, please chant this over and over – “I am a woman first, then a viewer, then a fan.” I understand that until proven guilty, Yifan is innocent. Which is why I refused to pick sides.

But if it is true, if Yifan is proven guilty for all these accusations, then it’s time to say goodbye. As much as I love him, I will not condone nor defend him in any way. And before anyone comes at me for it, let me remind you that Wu Yifan (and any other public figures) created an image for themselves that may or may not be true, and we, as fans, are guilty of creating an even more perfect image of our biases which clouds our judgements most of the time. This isn’t a small matter and

Chapter 49: I came back on AFF just to reminisce those old days of stanning Kris Wu. God, I read so much of his fanfictions back then because I'll never get tired of him but the news broke me. I'm sure it's not only me crying while reading the threads on twitter and news outlet. It was heartbreaking and difficult to accept because in my heart, Kris Wu will always hold a special place. He was my first bias in EXO, he used to be on my calculator cover when I'm 15, almost everyone in my class knows my obsession with him. But at the end of the day, he was a human. And there are no perfect human in this world. He was bound to make mistakes. He was bound to be different from what we portrayed him to be. While it is normal to be imperfect, that does not excuse ual or predatory behavior. ual and r@pe allegations are not small matters, not measly problems that can be magically solved just because he had the money and looks for it. If he is guilty, may he be punished accordingly with the laws. Until then, my stance shall be he is guilty until proven innocent.

May each one of us are given the strength to handle the news and future development of the cases. Stay safe and get vaccinated. Thank you.

Chapter 49: "i'm not taking sides to be safe"? i'm so sorry you guys were raised in a world full of misogyny you'd think that a false ual allegation could ruin a millionaire man's life. rumors about kris' ual misconducts have been going around for years with multiple underaged girls for as long as i can remember. there's no smoke without fire. why would tens of girls come out and show fabricated texts of a man who has a decade of successful career? not siding with any of the parties involved in a ual assault allegation literally means you're siding with the predator. if it's ever proven that the victims were lying (highly doubt that. but let's just pretend for the sake of this argument), why would you feel bad about not trusting kris--he doesn't even ing know we exist lol? i'd rather side with a bunch of liars rather than an actual ual predator by not picking a side just because he was my bias. kris, in any way, shape, or form, will not be hurt by fans like us taking sides in a case like this. even the court of law might not hurt his reputation in a way that matters because again and again powerful men have returned to mainstream media even after cases where they were proven to be guilty has happened. think kevin spacey, think curtis lepore. and then think about marie adler. don't know them? google them.

god, i remember being 17 and thinking i'd have a chance with kris because news of his ex gfs came out and they were around my age. and he was ing 26 then. now when i look back, that should've been the first red flag.

dear author, you are doing the right thing by changing the surname of the character in your book. but i hope you reflect again on the reason why you wouldn't pick sides in a case as dire as involving of underaged girls. be a better person today.

Chapter 49: Ohh how much i remembered the time when he left exo. He was my UB. I cried for him every day and night. And now with this news, i dont even have any tears to let out. Im just hoping that the truth will come out fast.

Chapter 49: I was and am still a fan of him but as for now, I will just wait for the correct news. I'm staying neutral. I go 'Innocent until proven guilty' for now. Better safe than sorry. I don't want to regret it.

Chapter 49: Authornim, you're not alone in this. I also went through the exact same feelings as yours simce 2014. And then now this happened. It is really dissappointing and who knows which side is the truth.

But don't worry about changing the surnames of the characters and all because it's your right and you are the writer. I as a reader will give my full support to you. Hwaiting!😊

Chapter 49: Authornim, you wrote MTMB with Kris Wu as your main character but the story is yours. Regardless what the character name may be the story is still yours. I believe that in all things will come out.

Chapter 49: I don’t know what to say and even he not my bias it still horrify to hear the news, but until everything prove to be true I don’t take side… because we all have been see that kind of case a lot that can ruin someone’s life in just few seconds before the truth come out. I just hope everyone get what they deserve for their actions…please no offense I just speak what my opinion
