Because I'm a Tease

I suggest you click on the picture on the left and read, then get back to me. =)

No, I'm not permanently free from Real Life. 

But my heart has been terribly aching to write. 

And so I leave you with this small teaser. 

Please wait for the update, my dear reader. 

^_____^

Laters,
Baby.

Working on it!

I'ma keep this short.

Yes, I am a lazy bum... But not all the time. =)

KTC CH.24

... is up and posted at LU, Soompi and FF.net!

Although this chapter is short, I hope you guys still read it. I'm still trying to break out of writing-dormancy.
Summer has the tendency to empower the lazy bum in people, and I happen to be one. Hee.

Whatever parts I left out in Chapter 24 will be made up by Chapter 25! I promise! =)


regards,
Dia

Milestones

*takes a deep breath*

First off, I know I have been absent for so many weeks and it's only now that I've surfaced from the cave I've been hiding. (If you happen to follow me on Twitter, you'd probably read the gruesome details of my life.)

My online life has been suffering too much ever since I got shipped into law school. (Hey! It's not my fault I've got to bleed myself dry in meeting my demanding academic life!)

BUT!

I update whenever I can... Which is rarely, but still... (Please understand... *pouts*)

Anyways, the reason I blogged is to discuss the recent "milestone" in my SoEul Fanfiction Writing career.

In Chapter 23 of Keeping the Casanova, I've finally written a love scene for the SoEul couple. Admittedly, it wasn't the first love scene I've ever written because I've also written an NC-17 fanfic featuring them (Art of Lip-Locking).

Along the course of writing the love scene in KTC Chapter 23, I tried my best writing it in such a way that wouldn't seem to obscene but could properly describe the things I've wanted to portray.

And it was hecka hard!

I found myself writing parts that I later on decided to be too graphic, and so, were scratched before the final version was posted unto the sites where I post my fic.

I wouldn't say it's fun writing the love scene because I was sweating buckets and nose-bleeding the whole time. But it was definitely one of those experienced that I'd say, contributed to my growth as a writer.

On a side note!

ANOTHER MILESTONE IN MY WRITING CAREER!!!

Last February 26, 2012, I found out that a story of mine posted on Soompi under a different pen name happened to win Best Comedy Fiction Of the Year 2011 under the One-Shot/Short-Story Category!

Last year, I decided to create another account on Soompi using a different pen name. The pen name Shattered Teardrops has been too associated with SoEul fanfics that I decided to create a different persona and pseudonym for my original fiction stories. And so, DaniFire was born.

DaniFire became the author of "She Caught Me", a young adult short-story featuring Seth and Laika.

The nomination and voting for Soompi's FOTY Awards happened during the last quarter of 2011. I knew of this just February of 2012. I'm so happy because I won despite the fact that I didn't do anything to promote my story and didn't even do anything to solicit votes from Soompiers.

This really brought a huge smile to my face. =)

Thank you!


And so, this blog ends here. =)

Dia

Late Post but...

... Chapter 22 of Keeping the Casanova has been posted at Soompi, LU and Fanfiction.net~! (Just click on the links to go straight to the newest chapter!)

Oh, and I haven't sent any PMs to the readers on Soompi because of time-constraints... Cheongmal mianhaeyo!

Anyways, I'm very happy that some people stick stuck on to reading KTC even though I rarely update nowadays. Law school is a difficult playing field so I have to keep my studies up if I don't want to get kicked out of the school I go to. *sigh*

Well, I'd still like to thank everyone for their support!

Imagine, Boys Over Flowers (Korean Version) aired in the year 2009. And it's already 2012! It's been three years since I became a SoEulmate and up until now, I remain a true blue SoEulmate~!

My only wish this year is that some PD finally recognize that Kim Bum and Kim So Eun both has stable acting backgrounds under their belt, and finally acknowledge that their chemistry is still very powerful... *cough*Prettypleasepairthemupinadrama*cough*

I'm looking forward to spending another year being a SoEulmate! I hope you guys do, too! =)

Newly Wed

... Chapter 20 of Keeping the Casanova.

First things first!

I was supposed to post the whole update on Saturday evening after or Sunday morning if in case I wasn't able to finish all of it by the Saturday... I even planned to write a 5,000-worded chapter just to make the readers happy...

I even announced it on Twitter.

But then, a blackout happened for more than 10 hours so I wasn't able to complete the chapter on time. Hence, I only posted it now... Truthfully, I apologize. *sigh*

I know you guys have been waiting so long for this. I'm sorry...

Anyways...

REPLIES:

babypillow - I know, right? =) Thanks for the comment.

leighannechan - You're welcome! Han Byul was really meant to drop unto Ji Hoo because he's the only F4 without so much conflict to handle.. so yeah. =)

great.am - Ahahaha I'm glad your heart is now appeased!

dee:) - Yep, I'm crazy by putting twists like that. Hee.

rawrritsgracex3 - Yep, Philippines!!! XD

Ahr3um - You're welcome! haha Everything at school is... Well, I'm not even gonna touch on that topic because it's tough. haha

alasdair_vahn - Well, I'd like to call it motherly instincts. All of them are at the age of marrying, anyways, right? =)

sapphirever - To answer your question, YES, I can and will write a Rated Chapter when it all comes down to that. =)

teresaa- - Ooohhh... I love surprising twists! Don't you? haha

Trixie9394 - The Baby is actually Ji Hoo's sister but the Mom is not Ji Hoo's Mom because baby Han Byul is the product of a scientific insemination. I hope that cleared things up!

kly8 - ahaha Yeah, I agree! XD

deep.dreamer - WHUUTTT??? Ahahaha That, I would like to see!!! But then, not really. XD

jaequeen - Ahahaha It's alright... They will have time together... soon. *winks*

isdupt15 - Yeah... I do think they should consummate their marriage in the Philippines, though! XD

xBeckkii - Uh oh... Why do you think something bad will happen???

iLuvBlackCoffee - I promise never to abandon this fic! I swear! It's going to take long to post updates but I will not stop! =) Actually, there's going to be a twist with Woo Bin's condition as well. XD Oh, and I was also planning for something to happen in the Philippines!

The Queen and the Joker

A Jun Hyung and Hyun Ah one-shot fanfic... 

(just because I'm impulsive and I felt like writing it)

 Link for fanfic on Soompi.

There were many reasons why I wrote this certain fanfic.

But then, I recommend you read this: FuckYeahJunAh

They're like the JunAh counterpart of the Applers. Hee.

HEY, I'm not saying I'm against the relationship of Goo Hara and Jun Hyung, I'm just saying I like the JunAh pairing more. Besides, it's waaaaaaay obvious from the way they interacted that they were attracted to each other. I dunno what happened though...

Hence, my attempt to justify their story and hence why the above one-shot was born.

So yeah, no bashing please. 

That's it!

Healthy Jealousy

... Chapter 19 of Keeping the Casanova.

.............. I'M BACK, WITCHES!!! (I've always wanted to say that. LOL.)

So, law school has been draining my energy for the last few weeks. GAWD. My most freakin' favorite place in the world now is... the Law Library. T_T

No kidding!!! 

My class starts at 5:30 in the afternoon most weekdays, but I spend time in the library from 2:00 PM, not because I want to, but because I have to read, read and read more.

In law school, going to class is like going to war - you have to prepared with weapons - in this case, knowledge of the lesson and the cases involved - because if you're not prepared, you're gonna look pathetic.

That has been the main reason why I barely have time to actually sit down to write and type my heart out. *sigh* Also, I have classes six days a week, so yeah...

My life right now in a collage of pictures. Coffee & fries included. =)

REPLIES:

dee:) - TUHMAAAA!!! Different people have different perspective of the same thing.

Trixie9394 - Oh, of course, there is a solution to every problem.. *winks* I'm the master mind behind this fic so everything will be okay.

leighannechan - LQs are normal, right? Even for married couples.

yeongweonhi02stary - Ahahaha Everyone shocked with Ji Hoo, right? *grin*

paradoxist - Ehehehe Not really. XDDD

babypillow - Wahahaha What??? Ji Hoo is a grown man after all. Come on! You give him so little credit! XD

alasdair_vahn - I must mention that I adore your avatar. I like it! =) Well, they're still newlyweds right? It's normal to bicker and quarrel at times. I'm trying to portray that side of marriage because contrary to what most people believe, marriages don't necessarily mean happy endings.

inday_yu - TRUE. But I guess she's trying not to look small compared to her husband, 'cause it's well-established that he's "up there" and she's not quite "there" yet, in terms of socio-economic status.

great.am - Who doesn't love the Jae Kyung & Woo Bin pairing?? Come on!

swtxlilqt95 - LOL. You're the only one seeing the positive thing in this chapter! I love you already!!! Well, in a non-lesbian sort of way, of course. haha

kly8 - Wahahaha the story behind Han Byul is revealed in Chapter 19. It's not a really big story anyways. Just a sort of misunderstanding. =)

iaimeyouS2 - I love dropping nukes every now and then. =)

Ahr3um - Well, let's just say that Yi Jung and Ga Eul's relationship isn't that stable yet because they're still newly weds. *winks*

suzy_me - Muahahaha Coz I'm evil like that, yo! =)

pinkfairyfloss - You have been added to the PM List! Thank you for reading! =)

zealous - New reader? haha Welcome to KTC!!! =)

teresaa- - LOL! Yi Jung PMS-ing!!! I LOVE THAT!!! XD You just made me crack a smile! =)

shar0nsaurus - haha Let's just say that Ji Hoo is for the side story. *winks*

deep.dreamer - There is an explanation in Chapter 19! You actually read my mind while I was writing Chapter 19, didn't you???

sylvia_psf - Like I said, I was dropping nukes on Chapter 18. I keep my promises. =)

xBeckkii - You've been added to the PM List! Welcome to KTC! Thank you for reading! =)

xloserr - You're welcome! Glad you like it! Thank you for reading! =)

jaequeen - LOL. You have a very active imagination. haha

Everyone, thank you so much for the patience. 

It's really difficult to post updates regularly because of school. 

But I hope you still continue to watch out for my updates! =) 

Hope you enjoy reading!

The Quiescent Kind

... a one-shot.

Just to clarify any questions...

YES, I AM DaniFire

I made two versions: one for Soompi, the non-gasoo version, and the Wattpad & FictionPress version. I cater to different readers so I decided to make two versions.

The Quiescent Kind

Teaser/Preview

Dear May,

Let me start by quoting the eternal words of our favorite ol’ William… "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind..." You made a mistake because you were in love with him but I still do think that it was better that you knew everything before it was too late.

Then, let me add my own quote because I know ol’ William and I share the same passion for poetry… “It is better to lose a lover… Than to love a loser.”

I know that no truer words have ever been spoken. And I know you’re probably rolling your eyes out because of sheer exultation for the showcase of my poetic prowess.

Ah, well, if you must know, I am honor-bound to act like a dork and sound completely idiotic just to make you feel better. But seriously, Baby Girl, this is the moment of truth. I’m completely being serious here… No sh*t!

-oOo-

POSTERS AND CHARACTER CHARTS:

In light of the two versions, I also made two posters & character charts.

The Original Fiction Version poster & character chart (For Wattpad).

The Soompi Non-Gasoo Version poster and character chart. (For Soompi Forums)

 

NOTE:

The Original version will be uploaded on FictionPress under DaniFire and on Wattpad under shatteredteardrops.

The Soompi version will be posted on Soompi Forums under DaniFire because it's been so long since I've used that account. =)

LINKS:

The Original Fiction Version - Wattpad & FictionPress.

The Soompi Non-Gasoo Version - Soompi Forums

What a shocking development in my writing career, isn't it? =)

A Shock

Chapter 18 of Keeping the Casanova...

Nukes are in this chapter. Muahahahaha *cough* *cough* I gotta practice my evil laugh more. XD


REPLIES:

teresaa- - Chapter 18 will somehow answer Han Byul's connection to the F4. That's all I'm giving away. =) As for Eun Hye & Shin Hye, well, right from the start, I was already intending to put them into the story. haha It was all planned up.

inday_yu - Ji Hoo's story is a sort of side story so I won't elaborate on that unless it's needed. But I do love me some Ji Hoo so maybe I can write about it more. =) As for Jae Kyung and Woo Bin, I always have fun writing about this couple. XD

Trixie9394 - Is Woo Bin making Jae Kyung jealous? Well... Hmmm... Maybe. But I have bigger plans for them. Muahahaha

dee:) - I also love the two of them! XD Muahahaha

deep.dreamer - Thank you! I hope you like Chapter 18 then. =)

Ahr3um - The Chapter was a bit short because it was a filler. =)

great.am - I know, right? I mean, the first time I saw Mi Nam in You're Beautiful, I was totally thinking of Eun Hye in Coffee Prince! XD

yeongweonhi02stary - That's what I was trying to portray Woo Bin as. Someone who can be good for a night or lust, but not for love. Awwww. =(

carylmeasblue - True that! I believe some people are just hormonally-driven. LOL.

starzz24 - I know exactly what you mean. =)

akemi_cho - Wow... I guess welcome back? haha Good luck on your studies, too! Hope you do well! =)

alasdair_vahn - There is a bigger reason why Woo Bin brought Jae Kyung to that restaurant. I write everything for a purpose, sometimes, the answer is just not that obvious. *winks*

paradoxist - It's alright! Studies first! =) I'm glad you still come back to read my story though. That really makes me feel nice. Muahahaha. Kidding! XD Good luck on your studies, too! Hope you do well! =) Don't worry. I'm going to continue sending PMs!

isdupt15 - Oh, sure... Surprises are my specialty. =)

leighannechan - Ditto! You can totally read my mind! =)

kly8 - He surely is! XD Come on, it's Jae Kyung we're talking about here. haha

sylvia_psf - Thank you! XD

shar0nsaurus - The possibilities are endless if you just think about it. XD Muahahaha~!

Everyone, thank you so much for the continued support!

Opening of classes are nearing again so I might have a bit of hang up in updating 

but I promise to finish this story no matter what! =)

Love and Lust

...Chapter 17 of Keeping the Casanova

Before I post the replies, I hope you guys don't mind if I rant a little bit.

Today isn't a very good day for me. My Dad left to work overseas, and I don't know when I'll be able to see him again. It was an abrupt departure and we weren't really expecting it. All of a sudden, he just received a call from his agency at 10 in the morning and by mid-day, he had to go to the airport and leave.

I was still asleep when he left. He didn't say good-bye. And I actually prefer it that he didn't.

Okay.

REPLIES:

swtxlilqt95 - Secret!!! wahahaha

inday_yu - Han Byul's appearance in the lives of the F4 definitely rocked their world. They're now thinking of their own futures! =)

natashaz - You have been added to the PM List!

yeongweonhi02stary - Well, I am trying my best to juggle out the three pairings I have going on in this fic. haha

alasdair_vahn - Correct! Han Byul is that influential! LOL.

Trixie9394 - I don't think Ga Eul is the one Kristofer Valfrid is looking for. =)

dee:) - Yeah, well, I kind of still don't know what to write about them at the moment so I'm diverting some attention towards the other pairs. LOL. I'm abnormal.

leighannechan - Me, too! I can't wait! XD

Ahr3um - Why do I get the feeling that you read minds? Especially mine? Wahahaha

deep.dreamer - LOL. Possibly. haha

teresaa- - Ji Eun's identity is finally revealed in Chapter 17, plus the introduction of another character! XD

kly8 - Kristofer Valfrid's story shal be unveiled in the near future. *winks* Oh, if Ji Hoo pancakes are sold somehwere, I'd buy at least a dozen! Along with Ji Hoo! Bwahahahaha (lunatic  fan-girl mode)

carylmeasblue - I think so, too! LOL.

aliceex - Thank you! It's alright! =)

iaimeyouS2 - Haha Not really. XD

jaequeen - Whoah... What do you think will happen?! Tell me!!! I'm just curious... haha

sylvia_psf - Thank you! And your welcome! =)

isdupt15 - There is a reason why I'm still not writing about SoEul. *winks*

-oOo-

IMPORTANT NOTES:

For Chapter 17, the highlights are:

• Ji Eun's real identity is revealed.
• A new character is introduced.
• More on Jae Kyung & Woo Bin. 

I didn't write an update on SoEul because in all honesty, Chapter 17 is a filler chapter which will only fill space for a bit of development dedicated to the minor characters. Next Chapter, I'm going to drop nukes and bombs regarding SoEul as well as the real Father of Han Byul. Watch out for it! =)

Thank you so much for your continued support! =)

Mending What's Broken

 Chapter Sixteen of Keeping the Casanova

Author's Note: 
For the last Chapter, you guys mentioned Kristofer Valfrid was an ass for saying that the F4 were gay. I'd like to clarify that I tried to see an outsider's perspective who might learn about the F4 for the first time, hence, it was that way. I meant no disrespect, okies? =)


REPLIES:


alasdair_vahn - True. There are still a lot of things that the F4 hasn't experienced so I try my best to write about them gaining experiences for character growth. Also, Ji Hoo is a heart surgeon, his specialty is operating on heart patients so even though he's a doctor, technically speaking, his field of expertise is different. Thanks for reading!

darkrainbowday-x - Aah.. Of course. Babies are the one of the hardest things to handle for a handsome gangster. haha

xloserr - I like Woo Bin and Jae Kyung, too, but since this is mainly a SoEul story, I try to focus more on Yi Jung and Ga Eul's relationship. *winks*

inday_yu - Ahahaha Incompetent child handlers! I love that line! XD

Trixie9394 - And thank you for reading! I try my best to inject humor as much as I could.. =)

dee:) - I couldn't stop myself from adding a little snippet of Woo Bin's inner turmoil at the end.. I think it balances the whole cheerful atmosphere. =)

kly8 - I know, right? XD

krazydaisy96 - And you are absolutely right. There is no way I'm going to leave Woo Bin hanging! =) I'm updating more frequently because it's summer here in the Philippines!

emkail - That's a possibility. *winks*

babypillow - Yeah! The F4 are so manly, they make everyone else pale in comparison! =)

iaimeyouS2 - I know! That's why I wrote that! Finally! Someone who understands the logic behind why Mr. Valfrid called the F4 gay! =)

sylvia_psf - Thank you! And thanks for reading! =)

carylmeasblue - Aww.. All of us want some happy ending for Prince Song. =)

teresaa- - Woo Bin's impotence is a sort of twist I didn't plan on putting but was very glad I put it in anyways.. Thanks for reading!

shar0nsaurus - Han Byul's father? Keke It's going to be a little shocker. XD

deep.dreamer - Actually, impotence may mean can have sex but not be able to fertilize the egg cells of the female. =)

Ahr3um - The real father will be revealed... soon. XD

leighannechan - Ga Eul PAWNED another guy! XD

yeongweonhi02stary - Agree! Low sperm count doesn't mean no sperm! LOL.

jaequeen - Please wait! haha Even if you can't! =)

Everyone, thank you very much for the support! =) 

See you on the next chapter!

Future Plans

I've always been open about my plans to enter law school this coming June. And that's fixed as a tee, completely permanent and non-negotiable.

Aside from that, recently, I've been thinking about what to do about my writing. What are my future plans? What do I am to accomplish in the future? What else am I going to write about?

Well, to start off, I plan to graduate from writing SoEul stories. That's after I finish writing KTC, of course. I feel like it really is time for me to move on. I'm not giving up my hope for the Bumsso couple to reunite but I'm giving up writing about SoEul.

I would like to thank the fans of SoEul as well as Bumsso for serving as the readers of my stories for the last two years. To the readers at LU, Soompi, AF, and FF.net, thank you so much for the love. You have been my biggest motivation and for that, I really owe a lot to all of you.

I'm still going to finish KTC so you guys still have something to watch out for.. =)

Currently, aside from KTC, I'm beginning to concentrate more on working on original fiction stories (non-gasoo). Recently, I've registered on Wattpad.com and has posted one short story. I'm planning to write more original stuffs so I hope that you still continue to show support to me by reading my works.

As for my other stories on Soompi (TCI and Ignominy), well, I'm still thinking really hard about what to do to them... My head says I should just close their threads since it's been so long since I updated but my heart just couldn't simply give them up...

Well, that's it for now. =)

Hot, Cold and Lukewarm

Ladies and Gentlemen, Chapter 13 of Keeping the Casanova has been posted on LU, Ff.net, AF and Soompi!

Let's keep our fingers crossed now, shall we?

Edit and Fix

Today, starting 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I edited the messed up code tags of Ignominy on Soompi Forums... I briefly stopped for dinner and continued editing again. Currently, it's 11:18 in the evening and I've finally finished fixing the messed up tags of all 26 Chapters.

I also have to fix the messed up tags of my other stories on Soompi. Don't ask my why I trouble so much... I'm OCD like that...

Here's a small preview of how the newly fixed Ignominy thread on Soompi Forums look like...

Anyways, just to get some points across, I would like to clarify that I'm not abandoning my unfinished stories. Everything is just so crazy right now because I'm graduating from College on March 25.

Although it has crossed my mind to just abandon my stories when my flashdisk got lost, I realized that my stories are my children. They're the offspring of my love for writing and my late-night typing, so if I abandon them, it's just like abandoning my children... And I just can't take that...

So, hopefully, within the next few weeks, I finally conjure an update for you guys.

Again, I apologize for the long wait. Please bear with me...

ANNOUNCEMENT: INDEFINITE HIATUS

To My Readers,

I regret to inform you that I will be going in an indefinite hiatus from writing my current unfinished stories. I have been struggling since last year to post updates and I'm really sorry to inform you that my schedule really isn't being very helpful right now.

Like I've said over and over again, I am a Senior in College and I'm still struggling to graduate this year. Hopefully. I have an on-the-job training to take care of, plus a Thesis to complete (I haven't even started it yet.). That and the usual school load including projects, exams and stuff like that.

Also, I have a lot of extra-curricular activities lined up. I'm part of our University's Debating Team and I've got a series of Debates lined up where I'm supposed to travel to far places. We just won the Regional Competition in Oxford-Oregon Format for the Philippine Association of Universities and State Colleges yesterday. That means, I and my team mates are going to have to proceed to the National Level of the Competition on February 20-21, 2011. I don't exactly know where we're going for the National Level. I'm not sure if it's going to be in Isabela or in Vigan but surely, we're going to have to travel.

Aside from that, I'm also going to compete in a Debate Competition among Political Science students all over the Philippines on January 28-30, 2011 using the Australasian Format of Debate, and that will be in Iligan. That's pretty far from where I am so that means travel as well.

So, yeah, I have no choice but to announce an indefinite hiatus from writing, and practically my online life as Shattered Teardrops. I apologize for this but I hope you understand that I have other priorities to settle aside from writing.

Forgiveness and Developments

Chapter 12 of Keeping the Casanova

Yoreubun, cheongmal choisong hamnida!!!

I know I've been MIA for more than a month and I deeply apologize. Senior year in College is just... damn hectic. I will be graduating in a few months so there are a lot of things I have to take care of. And after College, law school is waiting. So yeah... Everything is just so... crazy for me.

Again, I apologize for the lack of update for the last several weeks.

I just want you guys to know that I have no plans of abandoning this fanfic. I'm going to finish it up until the last chapter. It's just that life has been throwing tedious stuff at me and those affect my writing a lot.

I hope you, guys, understand and don't get tired of waiting for my updates. =)

REPLIES:

TO EVERYONE - The mystery regarding Woo Bin's impotence will be revealed in a small twist within the future chapters. Don't you guys worry for our Prince Song! I'll take care of him! I promise! =)

__syalovee - Aww... Honestly, writing about Woo Bin's impotence made me feel bad, too... He affects me that much. *sob*

__babsy10 - Not first, but you're second! keke

__alasdair_vahn - Yep, this Chapter was a sort of transition for Woo Bin and Jae Kyung. Can't write anything much for Ga Eul and Yi Jung because they're having an LQ. keke

__inday_yu - Aaahhh... The whole 'impotence' thing will be given light in the future chapters, don't worry. *winks* I've always thought that Ji Hoo's personification in the drama was a bit lacking (no offense to Kim Hyun Joong. I'm not against him. It's his character in the drama that I'm disatisfied with.). Okay, so he's the strong and silent type, Jan Di's soulmate, then what? So, in this fic, since I'm literally playing 'God' with the characters, I wanted to portray a different kind of Ji Hoo - the kind that stays true to his character but adds more color to it. You know what I mean? keke The mystery in the baby's birth would be revealed in the future chapters, too. =) Ahhh... Woo Bin is another character I would like to the take liberty to provide depth in this fanfic. He's not just some randomly-spouting-English-ebonics gangster. He's waaay more than that. =)

__starzz24 - Thank you for reading for the comment!

__lildragongurl - What can I say? I write with a certain degree of unpredictability that baffles most of my readers. Unpredictability is in my blood so if I say Woo Bin is impotent, he is. Muahahahaha! Yeah, I love conflicts, too! They make stories a lot interesting! haha

__Trixie9394 - The DNA testing will come in another chapter. Let's just enjoy a few sweet moments for Chapter 12, shall we? hehe

__iHEARTTyooh - The other thing I enjoy writing in this story aside from SoEul is Woo Bin and Jae Kyung. I will not deny that. =)

__xxSanityx - I guess you forgot to comeback? haha

__deep.dreamer - Er... The last time I checked this was a SoEul fic? haha But don't worry... You're not the only one confused about which pair to write about. It's hard when Jae Kyung and Woo Bin are pulling me to write about them but I need to remind myself that this is in fact, a SoEul fic. *sigh* What a dilemma. haha

__yeongweonhi02stary - I also believe that none of the F4 fathered the baby. But that's just me. haha

__dee:) - WHOAH? ahaha I love SoEul and WooBinXJaeKyung equally, too... It's just that sometimes, I'm a bit confused which pair should I write about. Ultimately, I still remind myself that this is a SoEul fic. LOL.

__Ahr3um - Woo Bin and Jae Kyung rock my socks! XD

__suzy_me - Okay. Here's a little clue why I included Impotence and LSC in one sentence - the average person (ex. Woo Bin) who is not involved in a medical profession, or is not in any way interested in the medical field, will generally define impotence as a male's inability to fertilize a female and bear offsprings. Technical definitions will come later. keke It's all part of the misunderstanding so don't worry, we'll get to that later. =)

__teresaa- I got you wondering, didn't I? keke My last year in College is hellish. I don't want to even think about it. Ugh. Thanks for reading, anyways!

__iaimeyouS2 - Thank you!

__paradoxist - I want mini-Woo Bins! ahaha

__flywithmee16 - You have been added to the PM List! Welcome to the family! Thanks for reading! =)

__jaequeen - So many questions... haha But I'm not going to reveal any answer. Muahahaha! Those will be answered in the future chapters!

__SwtAznStar18 - Putting advance technology aside, to think about it, if Woo Bin really wants to have a child, he should first look for a wife. *winks*

__kimjica - You've been added to the PM List! Thank you for reading!

__krazydaisy96 - agree! The plot thickens! ahaha

__belle6022 - Jae Kyung and Woo Bin will get there. Patience, dear reader, patience. ahaha

__kly8 - Thank you for reading and for the comment!

__shar0nsaurus - This chapter (Chapter 11) was especially written for Woo Bin and Jae Kyung. hehe Glad you liked it!

__leighannechan - Kinda makes you wish you have a Woo Bin of your own, doesn't it? haha

__miss_vicky - Thank you for actually informing me that the XLR8 Forum disappeared. Must be the work of antis. Anyways, thanks for catching up and reading!

__KIM--ONEE - Don't be so devastated. Everything will be alright eventually. hehe Btw, I know this is random but I sooooo LOLed at your avatar! ahaha I would like to leave my Mom a letter just like that!

__sylvia_psf - Those will be answered in the future chapters. =)

__Mizz_Ana_cutez - No worries. I don't really mind even if readers are late at commenting. hehe Know this, if Yi Jung and Ga Eul are SoEulmates, Jae Kyung and Woo Bin are made for reach other. ahaha

__miquah - I know, right? Aaahhh... The honeymoon will come... er... when I decide to have it. ROFL. I'm so evil like that, 'yo! XD

__*Lolo*Is*Loco* - You are now part of the PM List! Thank you for reading!

__aliceex - And thank you for reading and for the comment! hehe I don't really mind even if you're late at commenting. =)

__virtuosorosiny - Now that you mention it, the next generation would definitely be hilarious bunch! ahaha Yeah... I can only imagine a group of the richest kids with such unique parents. haha Oh, there is definitely a spark of attraction between Woo Bin and Jae Kyung... I write it to be so! Ain't I ever so powerful? ahaha Kidding! It's alright... Better late than never! haha Thanks for reading!

It's Bloody 3AM

And I'm dead tired of editing all the pages of my posted stories on Soompi just because of the messed-up image links courtesy of my banned account at Tinypic.

What I did not realize when I edited the first few pages of my story The Crimson Insignia, is that the lay-out codes were all messed up courtesy of Soompi's previous lay-out changing... So then, not only did I have to edit the image-links, I had to re-do the format of more than thirty chapters of TCI.

I have a feeling I have to re-do the formats of my other stories as well (Ignominy, Three Ripped Photographs, Capturing the Casanova, etc.)...

I want to sit down and write but then, I have to fix these things within the next few days while I struggle with my enrollment for the second semester at the University... Hopefully, I finish all these tasks ASAP so I can finally sit down and write.

I haven't updated in more than a month and I just hate that.

TCI Chapter 28 + Author Spazz~

TCI Chapter 28: "Closure"

The title signifies a closure for Ryou and Miharu. After writing this Chapter, I just don't know what to do about the tangled love triangle anymore. I mean, I'm a bit confused. I think I just made everything a lot more confusing than it already is. haha Silly me, right?

REPLIES:

cahaya - As usual, thank you for such a detailed description of everything you liked in the chapter! Thank you for reading! =)

reddynamitez - A lot more mysteries left unsolved, right? keke Everything will fall into place at the end. I'm just building things quite slowly.

1shinhwa - Which part is confusing? If you've got questions or clarifications, I don't mind answering them. =)

lilmisssmartey - Miharu and Ryou's past will be expounded in this Chapter. I hope it answered some of your questions. hehe

simpleangel - Taiki is up to something? Hmm... Maybe? haha But I honestly kind of treat him as a baby because he's the comic relief.

dyang4 - And likewise, thank you for reading and the comment!

Princess_Wincyy - Congratulations for owning the page! XD It's easy to say let her go already but I think, if you begin to understand why Ryou was acting that way, you'd see that he's in no position to just let go. =)

pkv - "and that guy with the computer that's the guy that shin is after right?" Maybe. Maybe not. =) You'll find out soon enough. hehe

nalouche -Thank you! Glad you liked it!

JJKA - Thank you. You know, as a reader, I'm just like you. More often than not, I'm a silent reader. But as an Author, that's an entirely different story. I try my best to give something of quality to the readers because as a reader myself, I know how hard it is to find a good read. Thank you for reading and for the comment. I hope you didn't fail your midterms!

__cherry-apple-wine - Scheming is a big part of this story, so yeah. haha Thank you for so much for taking time to write such detailed comment. Your comments really hype me up and bring a smile to my face. Not many readers comment like you, so yeah. They often just say, 'Great Chapter! Update soon!' And I'm like 'Meh'. I want to know what you guys feel about everything so I love detailed comments. =) "I think Akira's the one. Not Azrael kind of 'the one' though, just the computer expert dude whose name I totally forgot." - THIS. We'll see in a few more chapters. keke "Hey it's summer holidays in the Philippines right? That means you'll have more time to update right??" Yep, it is summer here. I was stressing about how to update since we were supposed to have our on-the-job-training this summer, but it got cancelled and postponed for next semester, so now, I'm free! =)

miss_dolly - Thank you for reading and for the comment!

teresaa- - Thank you! You've been added to the PM List already! Thanks for reading! Btw, I remember, you're also a reader of my other story, right? The SoEul fanfic I was writing?

sprinklez_123 - It's been a long time since I started this and I don't update quite often so it's understandable to forget a few things from the past chapters. hehe You could ask questions to clarify some things if you like. It's actually "Taiga" but the truth is, it means "Tiger". In the Japanese pronunciation, they say it as "Taiga". Clear enough? =)

check; JULIET - That's another angle to the heritage of Miharu. Her brother will surface anytime soon. Er... Well, actually, he has already surfaced but it's still not known that he is in fact, Miharu's brother.

whiteyin - Thank you for reading! I love reading stories that make you think too! Although sometimes, it's a bit confusing. hehe But then, I think, in the end, everything will fall into place.

betty_7_30 - You've been added to the PM List! Thanks for reading!

Author's Spazz!

I've always been very vocal about how shallow I can be when it comes to things that make me happy. Simple things can lift up my mood in a matter of seconds. And I confess that one of my dreams as an Author would be, for one of my stories to grace the Recommendations Thread on Soompi Forums.

=)

I got two recommendations for my story "in a Heartbeat"! This really made my day so I sped up my update for TCI. Thank you so much!
