Prolog

To You, With Love

The door cracks open, the noise startles the young woman who has been waiting for her guest to finish up. But once she turns around her heart drops right into her stomach and a high-pitched shriek escapes her shock parted lips. This isn’t the same man she expected, or rather only some parts of him still seem to be the same. Like his nose, definitive the same narrow nostrils even though they flutter a little wider with every puff. His lips are firmly pressed together which made his upper lips appear smaller than they actually are, also maybe a little darker. It's also the same glare she has seen before, and his eyebrows still knit the same way. But here the similarities end because his brows weren’t bushy and black anymore, but rather a deep dark red, like a very old, long riped wine. His hair which has been bleached to a platinum blond, now almost glow in a rich vivid red. While his skins tone, well to put it nicely, it appeared as if he is blushing. Or rather someone who had fallen asleep in the open sun and wakes up to a very bad case of sunburn. Which she knows isn't the case because it's her fault. She does what every reasonable and smart young woman would do in her shoes, and sends him an apolitical small smile. To her dismay, it fails to please as she only meets resistant, and anger. He still seems to fiddle for words, obviously trying his best to not yell or scream at her. She appreciates his effort and has to admit that she probably wouldn't be half as calm.

Chapter 14: yahhhhhh I teared up. I am going to genuinely miss this story. It's such a nice and real play on the romantic idea of a lot of stories and I truly adore how you did this. You pulled it off beautifully and with a lot of comedic timing as well as a lot of depth to the characters, enough to make you laugh or cry with them.
The eggshell comment... gosh. That really was what made me tear up to be honest. Her imperfect blanket in her now imperfect but getting better life... I loved that addition a lot.
This was really fantastically done and a beautiful story my dear. Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it and letting me tag along in the journey, too. *tuggles* ♡

Chapter 13: HAHAHA okay that ending. But I rewind!!!

The scene at the beginning had me a little confused because I was like BUT WHY WOULD SHE STAY and then duh it clicked with the letter and that reveal. ANd of course with Jiyong pouting and drinking. I do kind of agree with Taeyang that he deserved it and honestly, I love that about this story. It's realiztic, it's kind of funny, it's tearful, it's heartwrenching, it's giggle-inducing... and it teaches a lesson.
The goodbye was actually really sad. Like it was kind of sweet in a very bitter way, but I absolutely love that she realized that she can't stay with a man who is not only physically abusive but also mentally abusive. But the thoughts abou why she fell for him and how it all started and if only it had been another time in life they met... those were very realitic and sad and just realy... well.... emotional. I don't know how else to say it! Ah! Impactful! thats what they were.
LOL about Sunmi and haha her and Seungri, that made me laugh. And OH what a reveal haha!

Chapter 12: Oh my goodness. You warned me it would be bad but I really didn't expect this. *wiping away tears!!!!* But let me start at the top.
Sohee's return home was really heartbreaking but at the same time I was like, cheering her on. She held together well even through all of his abuse and I loved that. The imagery of the ring rolling into its resting place... well, as usual, you are fantastic with imagery!!!
And then Kiko. Oh my gosh Kiko. T.T I genuinely cried when I read the line *goes to quote it* I might very likely cry for a while but not forever, and once my tears dried, you won't be worth a second blink of mine anymore." OH GOSH my heart *broken* But I also love how strong you wrote her in that. Even there, in admitting that she was broken hearted and will cry, she still was strong and firm adn like, yes I will cry because I loved you, but I now know you're not worth me and I can do better. So gosh it was beautiful and sad and ugh just really awesome.
And then the elevator scene too!!! How she waited to break until she could and then the meeting, too. Those were really touching *cries*

Chapter 12: I really hope Sohee ends up with Jiyoung, he treats her decently while Nickhun doesn't really... It's sad how she makes up excuses for her husband but he's the way he is.

Chapter 11: Honey~~~~ gosh this is good. You took me by surprise with the almost intimate feeling of the love scenes, it was really great! I teared up a little bit a couple of places: the party and his abuse in this last chapter, and the line you wrote "Because only he can fill up this missing piece. Fix her broken parts." I know I quoted it wrong but Oh the last bit, I swear, I was scrunching my nose and trying to keep from crying. I love the clear distance you've painted between how Nichkhun treats her and how Jiyong treats her, and it is so sad and realistic and just *sob*. I love this. Keep up with honey, you can do it!
