I asked you guys if you had questions about this book, the characters, or me. I got a few questions so this is a Q&A to clear things up. If you still have questions you want to ask please don't hesitate and I'll answer them in the comments💕

1.How did you come up with the idea for this book?

Well, it's kind of funny because I don't know. I was watching some Tiktok and there was this audio of the song Confident by Justin Bieber but slowed and reverb. A guy was trying to be sexy (hahaha it was cringe btw) and I was thinking: how hot would it be if Jungkook did a cover to this song since he loves Justin Bieber so much. And yeah the image of it didn't leave my mind until I got ideas of a karaoke bar kind of story. I wasn't even planning to write a book, I just had images and scenes in my head so I decided to write like why not?

2. Did you plan everything from the beginning?

I wasn't planning to write the book in the first place but more and more scenes popped up in my head. I had some of the chapters in my mind before I started writing and everything else just appeared afterward or are simply filler chapters. Images I had in my mind were, of course, the karaoke scene, chapter 5,8,16,26,32,36, and yeah that was it I think. I wanted the fire to happen but I didn't know why his father would do it. The reason for it came also a few chapters before the fire happened. Don't judge me for it but I feel like it's easier to write a book if I have its smut chapters ready beforehand. I know, I'm weird lol.

3. How did you prepare for this book?

I just started writing lol and that wasn't smart if I think about it now. But I know that if I hadn't started then, I probably never would have.

Did you guys know that I had published this book back in February last year? Funny right. I unpublished it because I was so insecure about it and I had found mistakes in the storyline (like Jungkook's birthday. I wasn't planning to make it that way but I realized I had already written about his birthday and it was still April in the storyline so I had to come up with something that would correct the mistake and why not make his father crueler than he is right? I hope it wasn't too absurd). The title was 'Confident' back then and I'm curious if someone was here before I unpublished it?

However, I thought 'hmm maybe writing is not the right thing for me' and the book wasn't doing well anyway. But my mind was always on this book that sat in my drafts for so long. And finally, I found the courage to publish it again (with a friend's help and motivation, I love you hihi) and I couldn't be any happier.

4. Who is your favorite character?

I love every character in this book to be honest (except Jk's father of course) because every main character has a special place in my heart. I cut a piece of myself and put them into Elaine and Jungkook. I wrote about things I couldn't speak about in real life, I let them speak for me. Some events in the book are even based on real-life experiences. That's also why this book will always be my fav even if I'm excited about the other ones as well. But to be honest I think I like Jungkook's mom Aera the most because she reminds me of my mom.

5. Your favorite chapter?

Oh, this is a difficult one lol. I think it's chapter 32 where Jungkook and Elaine fight, Jungkook finally confesses why he was behaving a certain way and they make up in the end. It's full of different emotions and it was also one of the chapters I had in mind before I even started writing. I was thinking about that chapter and listening to the song I put as the soundtrack and I'm proud of myself for how it turned out.

6. Your favorite Jungkook x Elaine moment?

Every moment! But maybe the last karaoke scene where they sing together?
I just love how pure their love is. They are loving and gentle. Always considerate. They know each other like they are an open book. You can call me childish or delusional but that's how I imagine true love. I know that no relationship is perfect but even if they fight they are still respectful and they apologize.

Note: Know your worth and settle for someone who knows it too. Don't let anyone make you feel like you aren't someone who deserves to be loved. Don't let anyone belittle you. It may take some time to find the right person and I know society forces us to do certain things but please love yourself first and find out how to become happy with only yourself. Show patience and the person who deserves you will come to you eventually💕

7. Who is Elaine? How did you create her?

One thing I regret is not fully thinking about my characters. That's why you may see some changes in their personality throughout the book. Every time I read the first chapters of my book I want to punch myself for making Elaine kind of annoying? Lol. Especially the first two chapters ugh I hate them. But Elaine was angry and confused at the beginning. She went through a toxic relationship and that's why she was a little passive at the beginning. She didn't talk much and wasn't a 'no risk no fun' person like Nora. After she met Jungkook she started to change. She removed the walls she had built over the years and let him come near her. Jungkook was the person who helped her discover new sides of herself she didn't know she had. She became more confident and expanded her heart to a point where she was able to save their love from crumbling. If it wasn't for her love and patience maybe Jungkook and Elaine would have broken up.

8. Did Jungkook feel that soulmate bond or was it sexual attraction at the beginning?

Well, this is a good question. Both I think. Jungkook confessed during his proposal that he felt something so strong when he first saw Elaine in the bar. Not many people believe in it but love at first sight exists. Of course, Jungkook is a man with crazy hormones so it wasn't purely innocent what he was thinking about her BUT he really wanted to get to know her first before anything else. He had many one-night stands but Elaine was much more than that to him.

9. What happened to characters like Alex&Nora, Ashley, and Jungkook's father?

Jungkook's father is probably still rotting in jail lol. That's where he belongs after doing such cruel things to his family and other people. If you are not genuine and honest and if you value material things more than people around you, you will lose everything eventually.

Alex and Nora are together now. Elaine showed Nora that some people deserve a second chance. I know some of you don't like Alex and you are still not trusting him but yeah sometimes we need to forgive even if we don't forget. And I think Alex proved himself.

Ashley lol. I don't know why I created a character like her in the first place but I guess I wanted someone to make Elaine jealous (just like Eunji) and of course to spice things up. She wasn't that important.

10. Where do you get your inspiration from?

Music. Songs I listen to help me think about my life and everything around me. My mind starts wandering and new scenes and images pop up in my head. That's why my books are named after song titles or lyrics. According to the mood of the song I'm listening to, I can create certain scenes in my head. So you can imagine what kind of music I'm listening to most of the time (especially for the 'fun' part hehe)

11. Do you come up with the metaphors and similes by yourself?

Yes, I do. But don't ask me how though because I don't know myself. I like to compare things in real life too. My family and friends hate me for this though:(
It was difficult sometimes since English isn't my first language and some phrases don't even exist or don't sound as effective so I had to google a lot to express what I wanted to say.

12. Are you satisfied with your book?

Yes and no.

Yes, because it turned out better than I had imagined. I'm glad I republished it because the amount of love I have received is indescribable. I met so many new people, I had fun while interacting and I know now that I can write decently (hopefully?). Thank you guys again for supporting me in any way, it means a lot to me. I know everyone says that but I really mean it. You guys made me smile and laugh even if I was feeling down and that's what really matters to me.

No, because there are still chapters I hate!! Oh gosh, I cringe every time I read one of the chapters at the beginning. Those are the chapters I had in my drafts before republishing (until chapter 8). I definitely need to go back and edit them. And the first smut chapter, wtf is that hahaha. Also, I was thinking if things were a little rushed at the end. I can't help but think that my readers wanted a little more drama or just other things to happen. Maybe I disappointed someone with the ending? I thought about bringing back one of their exes or letting Jungkook's father do something to add more drama but I decided against it. Should I have done that? I don't know. And sometimes I forced myself to write therefore I published chapters even if I was satisfied 100%.

This is me when I read some of the old chapters:

Me: ohh someone new is commenting, HIII WHO ARE YOU 🥰

Me: omg when did I write this??

Me: wait this is kinda cute 🙈

Me: eww this is so cringe🤢  *skips chapter*

Me: I wrote ankles instead of knuckles???  *done*

Me: the punctuation is a disaster

Me: I lowkey want to delete this chapter...

13. Is there going to be a sequel to this book?

I'm really happy that people are asking this type of question because that just shows how much you guys liked this book. But unfortunately, I don't think it would make sense to make a book 2 for this since I simply wouldn't know what to write :') Also, I have other upcoming books that I will be working on so as of right now, there won't be anything more than maybe a surprise epilogue.
I think Jungkook and Elaine's journey is ending here unless I can come up with a plot for a sequel. I don't know what the future holds so let's get surprised together?

So, for the end of this Q&A I would like to ask you guys a few questions:

1. How did you find this book? How many chapters were uploaded when you joined?

2. Who is your favorite character?

3. Your favorite chapter?

4. What is one thing you would like to change about this book?

5. What is your opinion about this book in general?

Thank you guys for taking your precious time to check out my work, I love you all!
