She stares at me for what feels like an eternity. My cheeks burn from the heat of the moment. I can see her taking a few tentative steps outside the cover of the bus stop. It's as if my energy is drawing her in like a moth to a flame, and I realize now that I have finally caught her attention. I just need to get her close enough to feel the burn in my passion.

On a relatively short (three hour) car road trip today, I constructed an entire plot to a whole new story I like and managed to write it down so I don’t forget… inspiration really comes out of nowhere.?!
          
          Also, this past week has made me immensely proud to be Rosé’s fan. I’ll just start calling her Roseanne Park MBE from here on out.

@Roses_et_Wines me too, and I’m honestly more proud of Rosie these days than ever before! I just know even greater things are headed her way and I’m so grateful to be part of her journey. She inspires me so much <3

@chaelaurent This week really is a huge blessing for the Pinks, especially for Rosie. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw pictures and clips of them in Buckingham Palace. They were so regal like they really belonged there. I'm so proud of the Pinks for receiving honorary MBEs and Rosie for receiving the full honor (since she has NZ citizenship). Not even the jealous rats can ruin my mood. I was so happy and proud of the girls.

‘Something In The Rain’ is being rewritten and turning into something better than the original short story Jennie x Reader. My apologies if you wanted it to be Jennie but I’ve realized I only like writing Blackpink fanfiction when Rosé is the love interest. In any case, hi! I came back sooner than expected but that’s because I was recently inspired :)

Hey everyone, I’ve finally made a decision about my next plans. With BP’s contract expiry, and how busy I will be next month with moving to a new town and a new job, I have decided to take a break on writing until mid-November to December. It’ll most likely be December by the time you hear from me again.
          
          I do intend on continuing to write fanfiction — whether that be finishing one of my short stories or beginning a new novel — I’m not sure. I have multiple drafts/ideas in my notes all waiting to be worked on.
          
          You’ll be happy to hear: I do have it in me to write another novel for Rosé, I really want to do better than the previous! But this time I’d like to be prepared before beginning to post the chapters. I want to plan as much as possible beforehand, that way I can post the chapters on a regular schedule and have you all look forward to it. Much like a T.V show where you wait for the new episode each week. You can look forward to that for 2024.
          
          I’ll see you soon, please stay healthy <3

nothing feels more satisfying than cleaned up drafts! the clutter in my brain is all sorted out and thrown up onto the pages of my story.
          
          I’ll be checking again later on today for last minute grammar and if there’s anything I forgot to do or add, but for now… this seems to be it for ‘The Bodyguard’ and for me. within 12 hours I will mark this story as Completed.
          
          everything I’ve wanted to tell you guys is in my final letter/author’s note inside the story. There is one thing I have yet to confirm because I am not sure about my decision yet. I am thinking of taking an indefinite break from writing and posting my work on Wattpad, this is because I am quite unsure what my next move will be or which direction I want to take. I have many ideas. All of which require me to continue growing, and life changes for me too.
          
          Besides, after spending three years writing a book I think I deserve a little vacation. Don’t you? Hahaha

Watty Awards is not accepting fanfiction this year…
          
          Crazy when it’s the most popular genre around here! Anyways, I’ll be trying my luck elsewhere. I hear another awards is going to happen. Honestly, if Wattpad wants to act like ff doesn’t exist then maybe I should be making a full transition to AO3 sometime soon. I feel like most BP ff writers aren’t active on Wattpad anymore anyways…
          
          HEY BY THE WAY, you should see an update for The Bodyguard by the end of this week ;)

@lalalalani_babbyyy it might be my fault for taking too long, but oh well. What can you do lol thank you though

@tatliegilim there are some there if you search up the xreader tags, provided the stories have not been deleted or taken down by the author… but yeah it’s tougher to find them because most BP writers write ship stories like Chaelisa & Jenlisa rather than Reader. I hear AO3 is the most popular fanfiction site these days

@chaelaurent yeah I'm also wondering how to find bp ff on ao3

Hi readers, just a side note that I felt something was missing from Chapter 63 of The Bodyguard so I added a bit (during the after-party part). It’s not much, a few paragraphs at most but if you want to read it, go right ahead.
          
          Honestly, aside from being busy with life these days — I’ve been re-reading the book and trying to imagine reading it from other perspectives. I’ve re-read each chapter like a hundred times. This makes me appreciate my writing so much more. 
          Also, I wonder if you guys know this feeling: wishing I was the reader who discovers this book and falls in love with it instead of being the author who knows every single piece of thought that went into the roughness behind the published work. It’s a bittersweet feeling. More so when I know I have to let go soon.
          
          I’m writing all this to say that I want our final epilogue to be PERFECT so bare with me on the waiting time. I have so many things still left to say. And hey, perhaps this can be the year I submit my work to the Watty awards.

TheHazelEyed

@chaelaurent Thank you again for starting this story. I hope one day I'll be able to write something meaningful and inspiring like you did! I'll always be your fan, whatever you decide to do next. And you should definitely submit your work! Take care, dear author!

@TheHazelEyed I’ve always wished for messages like this. It means so much. 
            
            Personally, I didn’t think the story would turn out this way either! Especially when I was just starting out. I was going to stop at earlier parts, but I kept thinking about how hard I worked on it and the story was constantly on my mind. I kept thinking of ways to make the story powerful, realistic, inspirational and truly satisfying for everyone, so it transformed into something much bigger than I thought I was capable of. Despite its obvious flaws, I’m really proud of it. My writing ability developed a lot from beginning to the end. 
            
            Thank you so so so much <3 
            Yes, I’ve already thought about the future stories I could potentially write about. If only you could see all my drafts hahaha it’s a mess. The question now is which direction I want to go in! One thing is for sure, my passion is in this little writing hobby of mine and I want to continuously work on it. It’ll pay off in the future for sure. Thank you again, seriously <3

Psst… if anybody is currently active, I’m going to drop the second part of The Bodyguard’s epilogue soon. Please don’t be too mad with me for the long wait.
