prologue

the grandfather paradox

"a beautiful woman sat by a river.
a witch approached her, and told her she was to have a child.
the woman began to cry with joy, but joy turned to fear, and she could not stop crying.
fear turned to sadness, the woman continued to cry.
she cried for months, hardly sleeping, until the child was born.
but the crying had aged the woman, and she was no longer beautiful.
when he was old enough, her son climbed the mountain to find the home of the witch.
he asked the witch if she could make his mother beautiful again.
the witch asked the boy many questions, after which, the witch told the boy
that she had lied to his mother about the child.

the boy disappeared,
and the mother was beautiful again."

Chapter 11: I am sad for yugyeom...how could you...sobs....
At first I read..I was thinking..dont tell me this yugyeom is yugyeom from the future trying to mend things...but what to be mend when they are exceptionally perfect family...then the accident happened..I just cant believe it..I was like hoping that yugyeom just cry and throw tantrum like crazy to prevent papa to retrieve the car that night...but then....when things were constant then the fate wouldnt change...to change their fate, sonething need to change...thus the change of reality...
Tq for the great story though..I was kinda hoping that jaebum would recognize his son....later...thus..I really...will be glad if there's sequel to this.....??

It's been quite a while since this was finished but I'll still always come back to it. Time travel has always ways interested me and the beautifully written story was just an added bonus in this story!! Keep up the great work ^-^

Chapter 11: I love this, I really love this. no wonder this story always been put in jjp recommendation fic list.
at first I was a little bit reluctant to read this bcs I thought it's just an ordinary fluffy domestic fic. good thing I didn't skip it for too long and decided to give it a try.

I still hope after the accident it went back to normal not change to another reality, yugyeom deserved better, I wanna cryyyy.
but yeah this is for the best, this story won't be this good if you write different ending. as much it hurts, this is the best ending to wrap up this story, in my honest opinion.
good job! keep writing!

My heart is hurting for Yugyeom. I just cant~

Thank you for this well written fic. Although this left me sad for Yugyeom and happy for JJP, still I love how well written this is.

Please make more Yugyeom fics where he can be happy, please~

Chapter 11: Hi, I'm usually a silent reader too and I was desperate for got7 fic until I ran across this. (like I was reading all these short fic on different ships and some were good but not enough for me to be satisfied). This was so good. I kinda guessed in the beginning too. I was like "Ha, it would be hilarious if this Yugeom was the future version of Gyeomie" Of course it was right, and no, it was not hilarious it was sad. I actually really love your ending, ( not talking about the epilogue, that was very good too but like the chapter 9 ending) it was sad more bittersweet which I really like. I also really enjoyed your writing style (which I'm going to go check out some of your other works), because the pace was just perfect. You weren't so descriptive or wordy , like it was enough to keep the plot moving but not so little that it felt like the reader is thrown into a mess. I just want to say you did a really good job and keep up the good work.

Chapter 11: Okay I never cried, breathe for air, hold my chest like im having a heart attack, while reading a fic. I know in the back of my head that this will be tragic, but still I went on because I wanted to see and feel how would you tell the story and make us weep like we're the Niagara Falls. Please continue to write beautiful, explicit, and heartfelt (heart wrenching) masterpieces. Thank you for depicting JJP, Yugyeom and GOT7 beautifully. I love you Authornim!
