Description

After awakening from a month-long coma, Kibum is overwhelmed by a barrage of synaesthesia-like input from his five senses. Colours are extra bright, he can hear people talking from several floors away, and strangest of all is his sense of smell–he's overwhelmed by bizarre and seemingly random scents that appear to be linked to people's emotions. Scared and struggling to cope as SHINee return to promotional activities, Kibum's new extended senses soon alert him to a hidden danger that threatens the souls of his closest friends.

Foreword

Author's note, April 2020:

I was writing this story in 2017 when Jonghyun passed away. I couldn't bear to leave it online, and for a couple of years I couldn't write fanfiction or listen to SHINee or Jonghyun, it just made me too sad. Recently I began to think of this story again and finally decided to complete it. It's been quite a healing process, and has enabled me to start writing fanfiction again. I'm very happy to be finally sharing this story with you all.

I mean no disrespect to Jonghyun by portraying him in this story and will always love and miss him.

Story notes: This story is set approximately two years after SHINee's debut. Onew and Jonghyun are 21, Minho and Key are 19, Taemin is 17 and in his last year of high school. None of the members have made a solo debut yet.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction and does not represent real people, events, or relationships.

Chapter 22: I just finished this and want to express how impressed I am that you tied an amazing story together with a potent message about depression and suicidal thoughts. I enjoyed sensory descriptions which Kibum experienced. You have quite the imagination.

I wish for all people struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide, that they could find the love and understanding they need to fight their demons. I know how you felt about finishing this story after Jonghyun’s devastating death, but I’m glad you did. Your author’s note at the end is one of the best I’ve ever read too.

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful stories. Take care and stay well. <3

Chapter 22: This is beautifully written and a great metaphor for depression. I enjoyed reading this and appreciate the creativity of the story. One of the best stories on here by far; you deserve more readers. Dealing with chronic depression is an uphill battle and I wish that everyone that is struggling with it finds the strength to push forward. I wish there was more of an open dialogue so that people/idols know there is help and support for them, even when they feel that they're at their worst. Thank you!

Chapter 22: wow your story.. the characterization, plot, concepts-auras and scents, humor, the scenes. (I really like the chapter names too lol)
Overall, this is well written, engaging, and emotional.

I appreciate your author's note and thanks for sharing your story here!

Chapter 13: I'm really enjoying the story, just wow! the scenes and the characters are written well.
Using math as a shield/web is interesting, the character sees it as a helpful yet unexpected development.
The characters' scents are of course distinct and specific, like the roses, olive, snow, violets, yet are still interesting. The idea of auras being wounded or infected is saddening, yet it kind of parallels having a constant aura.

Chapter 22: Just wanted to say that this is an absolutely breathtaking story and I love how you visualized one of the most hardest things to talk about. I honestly cried reading this and I just feel that this story really helped me process a lot of internal things. Thank you for creating this fanfic.
