PROLOGUE

prologue || before everything crashed
"no matter, all good things come to an end"

the were only a few days left of the wonderful thing that was summer vacation, and in a few days bed days with netflix would turn into all nighters with a huge pile of homework. In hope of stopping time from going forward, five teenagers had found themself at an indie café in hongdae in the seogyo distict. the walls of the café was stained such, it looked like as you stepped into a wooden cottage when you entered. many shelves in a uneven brown color filled some of the walls. with trinkets of all kind filling the shelves to the max. everything from weird necklaces to cups with a bunny smoking a cigarette to a polaroid picture from the owner's wedding a few years ago. the aroma of coffee beans and carrot cake lingered in the café that didn't have any more customers than the group of teenagers that sat by the windows in a corner. warm and cold drinks in hand. these five teenagers plus one other teen were regulars and came in almost everyday when they had free time. The owner even knew their names and they didn't have to say their orders anymore because of the owner always having them prepared. the owner an eldery man by the name of song hoseok glanced at the group at they sat there looking out the window and enjoying their drinks. they usually weren't this quiet, hoseok would always have to ask them to quiet down when they made so much noise that hoseok was sure that he would become deaf of it. but not today.
 
the truth is, they were scared. scared of what was going to happen in a few days. scared of all the things that will come. scared that they would no longer be able to sit here. by the windows eating carrot cake and laughing about life and it's problems. because they will be entering high school, and no one can stop that from happening.
 
tired of the silent depression that was hovering over the group. a boy abruptly stood up slamming his hand against the table. "why the hell are we all so depressed for?" a girl with dark brown hair rolled her eyes and sighed "heajin are you baceolus? "am i what? the boy sneered "b.a.c.e.o.l.u.s that's stupid in latin or are you too stupid to get that?" the girl answered back nonchalant. if stares could kill, then the girl would have had a hole on her forehead by now. "haejin, inna could you two just shut up?!" the girl with pigtails groaned. "yes, we are sad because we will all part ways in a few days, haejin" "yeah bu-" "let me finish, woori is at that stupid church camp and haven't been with us all summer. minah and inna are going to go to different schools than all of us. so yes we are sad. The only one lucky here is minah that's going to the same school as that minhyun guy!" Minah blushed at nabi's remark and let out a confused giggle. the black haired boy sitting by the window observing the public, woke up from his daydream when he heard she ruckus his friends made. he gently placed a hand on nabi's head and pushed her down in her chair again. "relax okay? we all got phones, so we can contact eachother on that. woori , i, heajin and nabi will go to the same school so atleast we have eachother." silence fell over the group. it was like everyone became mute for a few seconds until a happy voice was heard "i will miss you guys, a lot" minah's voice got caught in at the words. "you're like my second family" small tears fell down on her cheeks and inna gave her a side hug. 
 
life should be like this. you should not care about anything else. you can cry, smile and bicker with your friends and they would still stay by your side.
 
a loud ringtone destroyed the beautiful moment between the friends. nabi reached into her jacket pocket to pull out her phone and swiped right."this is your daughter speaking" she replied cheerfully. but that cheerfullness did quickly turn into worry. "what about brother? is he okay? yes, i will go right now" the girl with the pigtails quickly stood up, grabbed her backpack and climed over haejin that sat beside her. "something happened at home, i will go first" she gave them a salute and then ran out the café but not before junseo said with a smile "see you tomorrow"
 
but to no of the friends knowing.
there would be no meeting tomorrow or the day after that

Chapter 7: This was pretty good! It's great to see more development of Nabi's character through her personal struggle. As well as showing the effect of the exposure to her parent's environment and how much that's taken a toll on her as a person. You see just feel like life is hell. Even so far as to assume she's dead when she wakes up. It was an overall great chapter and the plot is obviously there. I can't wait to see the group dynamics especially after so much time has passed. But I also can't wait to see more character development not only individually but as a group. I also what to see the overall evolution they have as friends. To actually be happy past the bitterness and sadness that is life. To actually find something to live for and bind them together forever as friends. It was also great to see Tak appear. Tbh I didn't expect to see him as the first character introduced but it was a pleasant surprise.

Anyway I apologize for not commenting/reviewing earlier it's just I ended up going overseas for my birthday for quite awhile. But anyway you did great on this chapter. I honestly can't wait to see more. Whether it be introductions, development or plot because you got something in your writing and it's great.

Chapter 7: Nabi! Poor girl, I just want to give her a huge hug. I really loved the chapter and the ending. I can't wait to read the next ones!

If you were to ask Minah who her favourite fairytale character used to be, Minah would have said Wendy. She dosen't fully remeber the story if Peter Pan but she always wanted someone who could show her a beautiful life , someone who could take her away and make her forget all the hassles of life and make her feel extremely happy. But if you were to ask her now, she would probably just ignore you and say something about how fairytale are meant for little kids so why would she like them?

As for my favourite fairytale character... it's too hard to pick one. I always really loved Beauty and the Beast growing up so probably Chip!

Chapter 7: all while reading this chapter, i kept praying for nabi. she seemed so weak and frail, and it's very dangerous to be in a big city like seoul on her own ㅠㅠ like, people are bound to take advantage on her.

I REALLY LIKE THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH ON WHERE NABI STARTED SHOUTING. ok, idk, she was wishing on her death but that part really gets to me. ;;; AND OMG HAHA KWAK INNA + COFFEE = TRUE. i laughed so hard and then felt like crying bc.. the current inna probably won't write that stuffs up again.

anyways!! this chapter is AWESOME as hell, and i really like the way you write and haejin, many thanks for finding our nabi. ;;

inna's favorite fairytale?? i think it would be the pied piper of hamelin???? the pied piper was betrayed, right?? of the villagers, so he ended up leading their kids somewhere else. in a way, he's like inna. she was betrayed, and so she leads everyone astray with their false impression of her.

mine? i like robin hood. i have 0 idea why i like fairytales with male as the lead, but hmm. robin hood is a cool guy -- he steals, but for a good reason. haha. aaa i guess that's that? ♡♡

this update was awesome ok rip

Chapter 7: Oh no poor Nabi D: I really feel for her, man this fic is gonna hurt me so much why did I do this to myself? (because I'm a er for emotional hurt, that's why). It's a good thing she found Haejin, he should help. I feel like he's the one who's got his together the most out of all of them, and considering he's homeless that's really quite telling.

Oh no you're gonna make us think xD As he is right now I think Junseo's favourite fairytale would be the Little Mermaid because it has a sense of escaping, but also the original fairytale doesn't end happy either and Junseo is in such a bad place right now that he would identify with that as well.

As for me, when I was little I really used to love the princess and the pea, though for the life of me I don't remember why xD

Chapter 6: can you hear hysterical screaming noises??

that's me. oh my god, i'm so happy to see inna being on the charas' page! i spent a lot of time on her app and she's a portrayal of me, so i'm really.. protective over her. ♡ thank you for choosing her, really!

also, the other characters seemed really awesome too. especially woori, like, she's intriguing! her description it a+. also! oh, my god.

the prologue is so cool! first of all, your writing style really suits this genre. aaa and you wrote inna perfectly well, don't worry about that and also, don't worry about not updating. i'm pretty busy, too, exams are coming up. (also, i love inna's interactions i could tell that you really pay attention to the way i wrote the interactions in my app!!)

: conclusion? i love this. so, so much. ㅠㅠ this gives me a k-drama feel, you know.

Chapter 6: I loved the way you wrote Minah and her reaction to Minhyun. I liked the way all of the characters seemed to bounce off each other like real friends ;; ;; I can't wait for the rest of the story! But please don't rush. School should come first! I wish you all the best with your school stuff!

Chapter 6: I love it! ;¬; Can't say much about how you portrayed Woori considering she wasn't there (;P) but I love how Nabi referred to it as a "stupid church camp", that's definitely how I figured most of the group would view her devotion~ I really like all the characters though, it's so sad they're not going to see each other again for such a long time ;; This has definitely got me even more hype for the story though, I love your writing voice!
