Facts

• There’s a total of 12 cameos in this fic. Both original characters and non-original characters, aka other stars aka FANDOM COLLISION!!1!!1!. Ehem :D

• Mrs Jung is one of them, though she was originally supposed to be a Mr Jung. After reading over it a few times, I felt that it came off as a little too…pedobear-ish. HAHAHA. Dongwoo’s chapter, where Mr/Mrs Jung appeared was written on October 11. Do you know who this person is? LOL.

• I was pleasantly surprised when I found out green was one of Dongwoo’s favourite colours when I initially stuck him with a green door. Then I gave Sunggyu and Woohyun red and white, which is a switch of their favourites. Woogyu? LOLOLOL. Ignore me.

• Sungyeol’s chapter was the hardest chapter to write, then it became Hoya’s, then Woohyun’s and by the time I finished writing Myungsoo’s chapter, I hated Infinite LOLL. Okay, the last part isn’t true. I love my eternal five year olds.

• Myungsoo has a power…just because I wanted him to have one. Unprofessionalism ftw. There’s also a million loopholes in the story, all of which I take the blame for OTL

• Hyeri and Byunghun’s scene should be read with 2PM’s Like A Movie playing in the background.

• Did anybody catch the connection between Mija and the sea? Hohohoho.

• And since a lot of people are asking (clearly because of my failed writing lol), Woohyun DID NOT disappear, Hyeri exchanged a normal ticket, the one that would send her to Heaven, instead of using the one Myungsoo gave her. So all the Guardians are still intact. No worries. Sorry if I confused anyone o.o

Acknowledgements

Thank you to staticdream for her help in killing off Hyeri. We had fun brainstorming about the various ways she could die. She also helped beta the first three chapters of Paradise, which is why it’s so flawless while the rest of the chapters are just…yeah. Thank you <3

Thank you to Chareeex and dearkoala for being my guinea pigs aka me forcing them to read Paradise and their never ending accusations and bickering of my biasness and fangirling. Chareeex, especially since she had no idea who Infinite were when she began reading but despite that she finished it in the end and grew to like them. Weeeeeee.

Thank you to Infinite for existing and being the eternal five year olds that they are. Without them and Paradise, this fic wouldn’t even exist in the first place.

And of course, last and most definitely not least, thank you to my lovely subscribers and readers, both silent and not (But hey, this is the very last chapter, don't you want to leave one last comment to commemorate it? No? Fine. I can deal with that /sobbing). But a special shoutout to all those that did comment! You guys are so nice and I squealed everytime there was a new one. Comments are my fuel hahaha! Thank you so much for sticking with me until the very end despite my amateur writing. This is my first completed piece of work and I put a lot of effort into writing it, typing away in the wee hours of the morning and slaving through even when I had exams the next day hahaha. I’m feeling so emotional lol ;A;

I had a lot of fun writing Paradise. I actually wanted Myungsoo’s and Hyeri’s relationship to become something a little more but decided against it. The very first chapter I wrote was his chapter which was simply much too…fangirly. I shall go burn that initial draft in Hell now. I’m sorry if you were expecting a love story, an epic romance where the guys fight over that one girl. Paradise isn’t that type of story, despite my initial fangirly-ness, I never planned it to be a story like that. It is a story about love but a different kind of love. Maybe you’re wondering, why didn’t she try to change her fate on the last day? She knew going back to that pedestrian crossing would lead to her death but she did it anyways. I guess what I’m trying to say is, no matter how much we try to fight against it, fate will always have the last laugh.

Enough of my rambling (that even I can’t make sense of at certain parts) hahaha. Thank you once again to everybody who read Paradise and showered it with so much love. It’s thanks to you guys that I managed to make it this far. I want to thank everyone of you personally but I’m supposed to be on hiatus (I have MAJOR EXAMS LOL.) but I knew I couldn’t just leave you guys hanging so I made time to post a new chapter everyday :D

Thank you again and I love you! TAKE ALL OF WOOHYUN’S GREASY HEARTS. TAKE IT ALLLLLLLL!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

Ehem.

And uh, if you haven’t been scared away by my writing yet lol, I have another Infinite fic I’m working on, link hereeeeee. I’ll only be updating this after I’m done with my exams. And because I'm hopeless, here's a little something to satisfy the romance that you were expecting in this fic. It's completely unrelated to Paradise (storyline-wise anyway) by the way.

This is really the end. I’m so emotional DDDDD:

See you soon! Hopefully! Feel free to talk to me and throw me any questions that you’re curious about. I’ll try to answer them as best as I can (when I get back, hopefully you still remember me by then lol.) :D
