5 Notes: So I'm back! I've been struggling against writer's block, lack of time, lack of motivation and lack of talent for several months so I'm a bit nervous. I also half-assed the summary because that's the kind of thing I do.
- The fic is already completed, but I'm still editing. I hope to post one chapter every week starting from tomorrow, but we'll see.
- Read the tags carefully! I know they might seem a bit scary, but I really hope you can give a chance to this fic, because I kinda like it.
- I tried my best and I researched extensively about blindness and the life of blind people before I started writing this fic. However, feel free to point out any mistakes.
- I set this fic in Seoul, Korea, but please be aware that I'm obviously not Korean, nor I live in Korea (not anymore, at least... or not yet, it depends) so most of the setting is fruit of my imagination!
- I'm not a big fan of mixing Korean and English, but you'll sometimes find Korean suffixes in this fic and Korean words (mostly names of food) in italics.
- I'd like to thank everyone who said a word for this fic, I only got here thanks to you all. Ele, Cla and Ash for reading the fic. Meg for giving me her opinions and advice on healthy and unhealthy degrees of manipulation in a relationship. Poh and Cècile for being kind enough to edit the worse mistakes out of this big mess. Silvia for being my most loyal minion, for her beautiful words of encouragement and her beautiful fanarts (you can see the one in this post) and for being a beautiful person. Stan Silvia for quality chanbaek fanarts @/yaori94 on Twitter. Make her shine, she deserves it.
- Title comes from the song Behind Blue Eyes by The Who (though I like the Limp Bizkit cover more).
- Mostly, remember that this is just a work of fiction. Take it lightly, be polite and enjoy <3
