This story was first posted on 13th November 2023 and l end this story on 21 February 2024. An exact 100 days! Wow, thank you so much for being with me these past 100 days. It's been a whole journey with all of you.

When I first made this story, I wanted to make a story that had so many flavors. Fluff, sure I can write some. Angst, my friends always say that I'm good with it. Tragedy, that is also one of my virtues. The problem is the smut part, i want to insert spicy things in this story but I have never wrote smut before. This was really my first smut hahahaha how was it? I hope it isn't disappointing. But yeah at the end, i can finish this story the way i want it to be.

One of my goals when I first wrote this is I want my reader to say that this story is.. painfully beautiful. Even though so many painful things happened, it still has its own beauty, it is still worth it in the end. So do I really achieve my goal? Only you can answer me hehe

I hope that you will remember this story even though it's ended already. I hope that this story can bring a lot of happiness to the people who read it, it was my sincere hope. Since this story has ended, can i know what do you think about this story as a whole? You can give me some feedback on it, what I'm good at and what I'm lacking at. I will try to write better in the next story I will write.

I want to say thank you to all of you who read this story, as per i released this long ass author's note, this story has over 28k readers/hits in wattpad and AO3 combined. I'm so happy, I never thought I would get this many readers. Thank you to everyone who gives me kudos and likes, the one who always comments on my story, i feel so thankful. The one who follows me on my twitter accounts and always says encouraging words to me. Everyone, thank you so much! Sorry if I didn't reply to your comments one by one, but I read it every time with a very grateful heart.

I also want to say sorry if this story is too long hahaha and for the bad grammar and typos. English is not my mother's tongue so I apologize if I ever did something wrong in my writing.

See you when I see you again, my dear readers.
