Looking Through A Window - Markyong

Author's Note

I started writing for Wattpad in the summer of 2019. I was 11. I had just gotten into k-pop that previous winter.

I spent every waking moment reading and writing. Coming up with stories. Seeing what worked.

I kept this up for 2 years. But you can see in real time through my previous works that I was beginning to burn out. Writing was my passion. Or at least I thought it was. But now, at 13, I just couldn't do it anymore.

I stopped writing. I would look at my work and cringe. I ended up taking all my stuff down.

I drifted away from k-pop, and got more and more into pop-punk. I donated all my albums, my posters, my photocards, everything. Out with Neo Zone and in with Infinity On High.

In late 2024, I was starting to miss NCT. I missed them a lot. So I decided to check in.

Almost immediately, I was reverted back to my younger self. These were the same boys I had known and loved. God, I'd missed everything.

I'm not 100% caught up on everything. But every day I watch their content, older and newer. I've fallen for their new music. I'm an NCTzen at heart, what can I say?

I've reuploaded some of my stories, attempting to correct my mistakes. Some I've still left in the vault because I don't know how to continue them yet.

I had a dream about Markyong last night, and I thought to myself, "I should write a fic about them". No. What was I thinking? I haven't written anything in almost 5 years. Since I was 13. I turn 18 next month. That was such a stupid idea. I went back to sleep.

I caved.

At 01:45, I ended up writing something about them.

It's not very good. I've always been a pretty shitty writer. But I hope you'll still enjoy it.

I don't really know where it's going yet. I'm only hoping to just try and get into writing again. Writing is my passion. Or at least, I think it is.
