Cherry Blossom // Alt Title: What Comes Around

Description

Lee Jinki is a struggling artist and single-parent, life consumed by the modern conventions of the prematurely widowed: pay bills, learn to live, and, most invasively, feel alone. Alongside his son, he believes himself to have overcome these perils without causing too much of a rupture in his life - that is, until, a chance encounter with a man boasting hair the colour of cherry blossom fractures the walls his world is confined to. Trapped within the rigid constraints of a conservative society and an even more conservative mind, Jinki has to fight to cope with the feelings that are tearing his world apart.

He loves a man, and that is, simply, wrong.

Foreword

A novel designed not only to entertain fans, but to test how far we can really go in searching these issues.

CURRENTLY BEING EDITED - there is horrendous writing in the earlier chapters, basically, and I'm currently rewriting them, so hopefully soon that won't be as big an issue e.e hopefully x.x

Warning: expect long as hell chapters, and trigger for mental health issues (i.e depression, anorexia, suicide), alcoholism and suggested .

Chapter 27: I need the next chapter of this. I really hope you can continue soon. Too many amazing stories are discontinued by amazing authors. I believe that you'll write this when you're ready so I'll just keep waiting. :)

Chapter 27: I... Well... Idk what to say, I feel so empty knowing there are no more chapters rn, my God ㅠㅠ but like, idk what to do, my mind is so weird rn idek what I'm supposed to be saying. Like, Jinki's more of an , I still think that (I'm an unsympathetic so sue me) but omg after Jjong and Minho's encounter, I'm ing dying to know what happened to his wife. I was like, maybe she died giving birth to Yoogeun and Jinki just had a problem blaming the people closest to him, but then Minho goes "it's his own fault" like, NOW YOU HAVE TO TELL ME I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER YOU SADISTIC ㅠㅠ also, Minho going to Jjong for Jinki's and Tae's sake (even tho it's probably still for his own sanity bc obviously, everyone is a selfish prick in CB) is just so, gahhh, I can't, the brotherly love is too much. Which, omg, Minkey, I'm crying, I can't. Y'know, lately, I've been starting to realize how perfect Minkey really is, like, in general, and then then this and you can't, my heart is bluh, just bluh, poor, fragile heart ㅠㅠ and the last sentence killed me. Just shot me down, look, I'm dead, I am not going to live on, I refuse. Why. WHY. It's not fair. It's so ing unfair. Life is too cruel. I won't live im this world anymore ㅠㅠ
On a side note, bc I decided I wouldn't talk about what your writing does to me since you're probably already rolling your eyes at my last comment, but it's so, so, so beautiful and it triggers something in my mind and I'm probably gonna die so hard when I read The Lifetime Kids (which is entirely too long to spell so now I'm officially abbreviating it TLK e.e) so yeah. Have fun watching me wallow in misery

Chapter 26: Oh my...

I can't, my mind is on high alert now and my nerves are standing on end.

This chapter was so ing intense, I swear. At first, you start out with a slow interrogation, simple mind play with Minho which is no big deal, considering your usual level of angst, but then snap, you just assault me with Minho breaking down in there and I just couldn't handle that.
As if that wasn't enough, you continue on with Kibum where everything comes crashing one after another so fast I barely manage yo catch my breath before you're choking me with yet another guilt aspect. The boy's mind can't function as it is, and then you rip all grasps of sanity from him and forces him out into the vast ocean of conflicted emotions and I'm pretty much crying. And I can't even express how much I ing love the fact that he's craving Minho so bad, not bc of romantic involvement, as he points out himself, but bc Minho's the closest thing to love Kibum's ever experienced, and that is so ing heart breaking, I'm surprised I managed to even pull myself through to the next part.

Chapter 25: Omfg, look, I started reading it again, be proud of me, I'm back with long as hell comments x.x okay, not really, bc I still got two or three chapters to go, so I'm gonna leave my real thoughts for that, especially bc your A/N said wouldbe going down in the next chapter, which, omg, I'm so ing pumped for. Like, just rereading last chapter and reading this bow makes me wonder what took me so long bc clearly, my mind has found what it's been missing all this while, you don't even understand. And when I'm done with these, I'm gonna be all over the oneshots I've been neglecting and The Lifetime Kids, don't even get me started on how much I'm anticipating that.
Anyway, on to the real stuff. Your talent is impeccable as always, and your writing is mesmerizing, I couldn't even let this go as soon as I picked it up again. Like, my heart is breaking bc I need to go showerbut all I wanna do is read and read and /read/ till my eyes turn to mush and pop out of my skull from exhaustion bc aahsfah amazing ㅠㅠ so yeah, I'll be going and then I will be back, you won't even notice e.e
