Can I hold you?

Description

It was well-known that Jonghyun was not always together, but it was almost as if he preferred himself that way. . . Things consumed him.  

Foreword

Can I hold you?
When I can see it all?

 

As Jonghyun lies in bed, he can feel the ripples of wind ride through the window.  They wrap him up in tender swirls, embracing all in the room with the soft, setting sun, and whisper how lucky idle time could be.

Chapter 1: Your writing never ceases to amaze me. Seriously. In such a short fic, you manage to convey so much emotion and beauty to the reader. You have truly powerful writing.

When I started reading, I thought it was just going to be a sweet piece about jjong's love for taemin but it turned into so much more. Your prose is absolutely gorgeous and you leave the reader with a sense of wondering that I love.

I'm utterly in love with the way you write. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful, bittersweet masterpiece with us! <3

Chapter 1: This was, wow. I surely didn't come here for this genre, but this, this, I can never claim to regret reading at all. This is, yeah. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how I can properly express my feelings right now, because this was absolutely gorgeous. First of all, I like your style, how you describe what Jonghyun's feeling through imageries in a way that I can practically feel it in my own body. And though I didn't notice the alternation in tenses, I must say that it's a brilliant thought, very intriguing. more than that, I'm in love with the concept of the story, especially how short it is because I myself feel like you can accomplish a lot of thing with a very few lines, and the more is not always the merrier, amd this story is an exceptional example of just that. And the way the start and end is similar (I can't remember the term >.<) but you can clearly see the development, love it, absolutely love it. Also, even though, as so many others probably, intially imagined Taemin to be dead in the present, I like to toy with the idea that there could be alternate reasons for him to no longer be with Jjong, and those are the interesting ones, the ones that really spurs my imagination. So to sum up this long ramble, this was, in one heartfelt word, mesmerizing. I will definitely be looking more into your works, so do me a favor and don't stop typing ^-^

ssigghhhhh, once again, I'm completely and utterly blown the away. You're writing has this brilliant subtlety and gentleness that is so enthralling, and I'm in love with it. Seriously, you have so much talent and skill, it's unbelievable. I love how even though this isn't a long fic, it perfectly captures Jjong and Tae, and they as characters are very interesting. The story itself surprised me with its depth too; at first I thought it was just a sweet, wholesome story with 0 trace of anything sad. But, after thinking of how Taemin could possibly be dead or just a figure Jonghyun made up, it has an almost ominously somber or melancholy feeling.
It's pretty late at night and I at vocalizing my thoughts anyways, so I'm really not doing your writing justice but ??? I'm just so ???? amazed ???? you need to write a book, I'll be the first one to pre order it <33
(and, I would upvote your stories, but I have yet to confirm my account and I doubt I will soon, so I can't lmfao. But ! the thought is there, I do genuinely love your work !)

Chapter 1: Because this could go so many ways I would choose to interpret this as Taemin being a fantasy since it is stated that Jonghyun isn't all together and spent his time dreaming about things that made his heart heavy, which Taemin does to him. Heart heavy with admiration that is. I think this open interpretation was a good way to close this story and you did a marvelous job!!!!!!!

Chapter 1: It was beautiful, but I'm a little confused. Is Taemin dead, imaginary, have they broken up, is it Jong's fantasy of an unrequited love, or is it specifically meant to be open to interpretation?
