Labelling it as 'author's note' seems weird but I couldn't think of anything better.
Anyways, here's a few things I'd like to say.
• I had this story in mind for as long as I can remember. Some may think of it as stupid, I myself do too sometimes but everyone have a different taste.
• This story isn't entirely a BTS fanfic. The mc is an army, no doubt in that but don't mistake it as something else.
• The story highlights high school events such as bullying. I don't support such students in any way but make sure to speak up even if you witness such incidents.
• I purposely didn't elaborate much about SooMin in the last chapter. As I stated, she suffers from ADHD which stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a mental health disorder that can cause above-normal levels of hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. Both adults and children can have ADHD.
• There isn't much happening between Aria and InHo. They're just friends who have been through similar incidents unlike the others.
• And lastly, writing Korean culture in English was hard which is why I used a combo of both.

• When I wrote the first chapter of this story, it was really really bad. I'm not even exaggerating, it was bad. I had no experience of writing whatsoever and I can surely say, I learned a lot.
• A huge thanks to my best friends who helped me edit it for a few chapters and for suggesting the sub-plots.
• For everyone that read this story, you guys are awesome. I know these are merely words but I wish to express my gratitude in some other way. Till date, I don't know most of my readers but I really really hope you guys would comment in this very last part. Thank you for reading 'Winter Bloom' and I hope you learned a bit from it and it made you feel good about yourself.
Hopefully, catch you in another story :)
(Not edited as I wanted to express my feelings in simple yet pure words)
