Consolidating them as to not spam dashes! Under the cut!
**SPOILERS from 15 are mentioned in here so please do not read if you haven’t read Chapter 15. Thanks!

Yes, he did! It was about time right? And yay! I’m glad it had the same effect for you. While rereading it, I was so happy. His character progression was slow but he’s finally doing it. <3
Anonymous said to enaasteria: September 17th 2016, 2:27:00 am · 7 hours ago I've been a silet reader but I really want to commend you for your writing. Because updates aren't frequent (not that it's a bad thing!) I'll re-read right before a chapter is posted to refresh, and every time, it still feels like the very first time I read. All of your plot twists and revelations never feel old, and they still make me feel a wide range of emotions, from happiness to shock to sadness, as strongly each time. Btw, all of the revelations in Ch. 15 nearly killed me omgah xD
I will definitely apologize for my slow writing! It’s so hard for me to convey all of my thoughts into words and this chapter was one of the more difficult ones. The pace of the chapter was bothering me a lot and I couldn’t help but make it longer than the previous ones. I really tried to condense but the more I edited, the longer it became. orz. Thank you so much for reading and for rereading. It means so much that you hold this story so close to your heart. So eternally grateful <3
hobihell said to enaasteria: September 17th 2016, 2:47:00 am · 7 hours ago Oh my goodness. Chapter 15 was amazing. I love these two so much. I missed them. This chapter was worth the wait. When he actually called her by her first name? I cried. Can't wait to see how he shows his love. You're such an amazing writer. Until next time. 💕
Thank you so much for reading! Can I say I dearly love Ahri and Sehun as well? They’re just so fdsdfjalfflkjfs. I really can’t even describe it into words. I wish they were real so I can be friends with them. hahaha Is that quite pathetic of me? LOL But thank you so much for your patience. I’m so sorry it took forever and please don’t cry! Oh no! I hope they were tears of joy! Honestly---I know what he’s gunna do for 16 but I don’t know what else to put in it. It will be another struggle for sure.
Anonymous said to enaasteria: September 17th 2016, 3:35:00 am · 6 hours ago i love chap 15😭😭😭 tysm for writing this, 17k words is perfect don't worry💓 is chap 16 gg to be the last chapter?
You are so welcome! I enjoyed and slightly hated writing this chapter haha. And I’m so glad you guys didn’t mind the 17k. When I saw it---I was like. OH NO. And tried so hard to cut things down but it just felt important enough to leave them in so that’s what I was left with haha. I’m not sure yet. It might be---it might now. It’s definitely under 18 chapters though. I really think 16 might be the last though. Depends on what my brain comes up with.
Anonymous said to enaasteria: September 17th 2016, 4:41:00 am · 5 hours ago To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should read chapter 15. It's not that I don't like it because it's definetly my favorite story, and I died every day waiting for an update. I was afraid to be hurt as during these last months I experienced it. (1) I don't want to spam you but this is the first time I tell someone about it. I was forced to move away from someone I knew for years to be able to live my life because this one person already has a someone. It's cool for him, really. (2) But not when he confessed. Not when every friend of him told him he should have wait and not take an other girl. It's my fault right ? Being to slow to act. Anyway, I read chapter 15. Is it necessary for me to say that now we have 15 masterpiece (3) I always loved your writing and it's not going to stop now. It was really worth the waiting. And I want to thank you so much for everything you have done to put 17000 together. You're an inspiration and because of you we can learn from it. (4) Ahri is the person I don't have the bravery to be. She is the woman, that strong woman that helps me go away. So thank you so much. But the truth is I'm not Ahri. I'm to weak to be her and now I suffer because I can let a second chance happened. End.
Oh anon. You are breaking my heart. First off, thank you for reading this story and being so patient with the slow chapters. I know it’s a bit torturous but glad it was worth the wait for you. I’m so sorry you went through such a difficult time and that you had to leave someone you love. And no. It is not your fault at all. He may have found someone else but to me---it feels like maybe he wasn’t the person you were meant to be with. That moving away is part of your journey to the right one. You are very much similar to Ahri and you can definitely aspire to have her determination. For one, you realize there are weaknesses you want to address and you are trying to become a better person. That’s a start, right? And you definitely don’t have to give anyone a second chance if you believe they don’t deserve one. It’s what I was trying to convey for 15. Ahri would’ve never given the old Sehun another chance. She wouldn’t unless she sees change. Unless she sees him grow out of his old ways. Please don’t put yourself down. Everyone’s life story is different. Just keep your head up and fight for what you want <3

Yes, he did! Are you happy he did? I am finally relieved he did. When I wrote the sentence, even I was like, FINALLY. haha. I’m so pleased to hear you like this chapter and thank you so much for your patience. I hope it was worth the wait!
Anonymous said to enaasteria: September 17th 2016, 6:07:00 am · 3 hours ago Apartment 5108 is honestly one the best written fics out there! Your writing is the best; im jealous😋 im sad you posted chapter 15 yesterday it means i have to wait a couple months for the next chapter but its okay. I cant imagine how long it takes to come up and actually write it the whole thing. So do you have any tips for writing? Im still quite young and i suck at it😓
This is such a nice message! I don’t even know what to say. Thank you so much for liking my writing. I’ve always been self-conscious about it. orz. I was a bit nerve wrecked over this chapter and was afraid how readers would react to it. But reading all of these heart warming messages really gave me confidence and thank you again for reading. I’m so sorry I’m terribly slow at writing but hope it was worth the long wait. I will do my best to complete 16 to the best of my abilities! This chapter took 5 months-ish. It was on and off because I would write something and it wouldn’t to be my liking and I would erase it all. I’m the type of person if---I write it and don’t like, I can’t stand to see it. Like it will bother me til’ no end so I just delete it out of mind, out of sight haha. And yes! I have a link for resources here: http://enaasteria.tumblr.com/writingguides and there are also these links:

But most of all---practice! Keep writing. Writing something everyday. I didn’t always write like this. My older works were really bad compared to how I write now but it’s really a learning process. You have to read more, gauge how your favorite writer’s write. How do they go into detail, what’s the significance of what they put in their paragraphs and dialogue. Everything should have a purpose and to gain awareness and expand your knowledge on writing is to keep writing. No matter how small, write it out. Leave it to the side. Go back to it the next day with fresh eyes and edit what you’ve written. Editing is really important to writing because you can refine or add important details. Significant details you want the reader to see. Hope this makes sense! <3
