You Have Never Left (Part One) (BL)

By a lucky coincidence, thanks to Ming San and Ji Xun, I had the good fortune to meet all the lovely people on the forum.

Otherwise, I might never have been swept up in the forum's feverish creative energy during that golden holiday. ^ ^

I, who hated writing essays more than anything, never imagined I'd one day start writing of my own accord, willingly and happily.

This was my first story, written ten months ago. It was also my first time encountering danmei and learning about fanfiction.

There was nothing contrived or self-indulgent about it. To me, it was simply a lovely little addition to life,

a beautiful feeling as light and carefree as drifting clouds.

I began typing because of those lovely people. I stubbornly wanted to finish the story because I wanted to cherish it.

I wanted to cherish the person who had been cheering me on from the very beginning, sitting right there in the front-row seat, and who still laughs and jokes with me every day.

Although

we've never met,

and our two cities lie far apart, one in the south and one in the north, just as she once said, the distance between us isn't so great.

+++

In any case, this is still Ji Xun's story.

As for Lin Lixiang, that's just my own selfish preference.

And no matter how slow I am, I will definitely finish it.

I abandoned it for half a year after the frantic overtime during busy season, and the forum will never return to the golden days I remember.

Even so, I know no one will keep pestering me for the ending anymore. I'm carrying on simply because “I want to.”

+++

I remember her once telling everyone with a smile, “Writing should be something that makes you happy.”

So whether anyone reads this or not, I want to give myself a “perfect” ending. Imagining what that person will look like when they read it makes me happy.

Just imagining it is enough.

Happiness

really is that simple.
