↳Author’s Note | A long time has passed since I wrote this story, and after a lot of requests, I’m finally cross-posting this story here. But after a lot of requests and consideration, this story has been crossposted on other platforms, such as Wattpad and AO3. I have also re-edited/revamped the story for adjustments. Since I have a lot of readers finding this story through Inkitt, I figured it would only be fair to update the book here too so everyone can enjoy the upgraded version as well. I hope you’ll enjoy this story as much as you’ve enjoyed my other stories.

Please leave kudos and comments if you enjoy reading this one! Have fun reading <3
