Decency Denied

The Wish of Existence
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

It was the second period in the school. Chanyeol was absent today. Kyungsoo, knowing his habits, must have stayed up late with his clan on one of his games. He presumed that the taller boy would show up after lunch. Until then, he was alone.

With the seat beside him, set at the back of the class, empty, Kyungsoo entertained himself by gazing out of the celestial window. He started the day horribly, earning the hostility of both his sisters, and now, his best friend was absent. And since he doesn't classes with Luhan, he had no one to vent to. Nor that he knew if anyone would listen to him.

 

He planned to go to the computer room and charge the phone there for the entirety of break time.

Kyungsoo's eyes travelled from the view of the sky and the fields outside to the opposite side of the room; to the upper right corner, where a certain eye-catching boy sat, absorbed in the lesson.

He noted that Jongin did not notice him; from either roll call and the entirety of the first two lessons. As if nothing happened – he wasn't sure whether to be relieved by it, or be disappointed. He saw the golden grant button of the wish app glisten as he made his foolish, and dangerous wish. He just brushed it off, allowing the recollection to blow in the wind, as it seemed impossible either way. The hearts of people were stubborn; he knew that because of himself. There was no way the boy he idolised so much would suddenly centre his world around him, like true couples do.

 

Kyungsoo held his head in his hands and sighed. It all started weigh heavily upon him again.

“What can I do for them to forgive me?” he asked himself, his eyes travelling back up to the skies, “tell me, what can I do?” he asked to those above, the ones beyond the window, “heh” he laughed bitterly, “it's not like you helped me that much when you were alive.” He turned away from the window, growing increasingly upset with the idea of remembering and mourning.

 

At break time, he swept the books back into his backpack and proceeded to walk out of the classroom. Before he could cross the line to the corridor, a voice called out to him:

“Kyungsoo, wait!”

Chapter 29: Thanks for another great chapter! Kyungsoo is so lucky in his friendships. He doesn't have many friends, but the ones he has are so loyal and supportive and really only want the best for him. I'm glad he let Sehun into his life. And he actually seemed to listen, understand, and take what Sehun had to say to heart. I can't wait for their performance. They're going to show everyone!

Chapter 24: Kyungsoo keeps surprising, sometimes even shocking me. When he started shouting at Jongin, I actually had to step away from my computer for a moment. I knew the hallway was still filled with students on their way to class, and I didn't know what would happen next. And then Kyungsoo surprised me. Instead of curling into a ball of fear, he straightened his back and talked back to those that could hurt him. He's so brave in that moment. Great job, author-nim!

Chapter 19: T_T kyungsoo broke my heart when he ran from the library and broke down alone his walls are collapsing over him. I hope that something good happens to him...like finding a something he's passionate about again or a purpose for his life rather than wilting away for his sisters. Since his 2 best friends are gone, kyungsoo's time with jongin and kris is going to be more concentrated? can't wait to see how that goes!! at the end when you described him losing his wings .. I couldn't help but think of a fallen angel's image...will he change to the better/worse or will people change for him ? ahhh to many questions XDD

Chapter 17: I am so glad that Kyungsoo sat down and properly thought about how his actions and beliefs (trying to protect everyone, being their martyr) was affecting his friends and family. Actually he was a lot like Jongin in the last chapter not recognizing the power he has over others. I loved Kyungsoo's wishes for Chanyeol and Luhan. The one for Chanyeol was a little bossy but Luhan's was pure gold. I'm really glad they went through. :)

Chapter 15: *spoiler*

REALLY interested in seeing how things develop between Kyungsoo and kris! Because of YOU and your “Long before I was yours” XD they are becoming my second favorite after kaisoo XD
If ANYTHING, this fiction, specially the acting parts in the theater, makes me wish you would do an alternative universe/magic/ dark world! I also wrote that while commenting in another fiction of yours and here I say it again…your way of writing is very regal and majestic that suits the older periods ..

English is not my first language but I hoped I conveyed my feeling and thoughts the right way .. and as always LOVE your art .. UPDATE as soon as you can XD!!!

P.S. the tag said comedy? Soooo.. is that a typo or the comedy is still to come?

Chapter 15: *spoiler*

Nothing is for free in life...I’m afraid of that the rectangular mobile… "Lay" gave me the creeps and I'm afraid for Kyungsoo. It, in away, reminded me of death note... instead of the death you have a wish but at what cost? Does it really grant wishes or is it a mere coincidence? I hope that you focus more on abnormal part of the fiction… it gives it a different feel … but if that isn’t what you planned, that is okay too ^_^

I don't like the sisters... soojuung’s selfishness gets on my nerves...she is a huge reason why they are suffering… she can go to kyungsoo's school instead of that elite one but she chooses not to! She also knew Kyungsoo have the habit of skipping lunch for her and her sister and yet stayed quite. She also helps him get night shifts although the older sister specifically asked them not to.
The older sister is a non-factor to me in this story ..refusing soojung working in the 24/7 market but agreeing to let kyungsoo work is beyond me >.<'

how did luhan get kyungsoo's number? Maybe he is the one who bought it and gave it to lay to give it to Kyungsoo?

If jongin is going to fall in love with Kyungsoo, and he will XD, it is not going to be because of a wish.. he was taken the moment Kyungsoo lifted his gaze and acted! That is what shock and frightened him. I really don’t mind what he said to Kyungsoo ..everyone is entitle to their own opinion but shouldn’t act upon it to hurt anyone!

Chapter 14: I am so loving the bromance between the three boys. Luhan and Chanyeol accept Kyungsoo as he is, just as he accepts them. Which makes Jongin's narrow mindedness that much harder to stomach. My guts churned when he said it was wrong for boys to like each other and assumed Kyungsoo wasn't gay. Kyungsoo is so brave in that moment when he corrects him and admits that he is. His heart is breaking and he's still true to himself. :) Awesome.

Chapter 13: I am really enjoying this story! I love the combination of hyper emotional reality and magical realism. I always feel like I'm right inside of Kyungsoo as he experiences this world that's almost completely out of his control even with a wish-granting app. I am so glad he has his strong friendships with Chanyeol and Luhan. I am so confused by Jongin's almost dead reaction to Kyungsoo at the end of this chapter. Did the wish backfire and cause their emotional connection to self-destruct? I can't wait for the next chapter!

Chapter 11: It's such a shame this story doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This is such a great story..sorry for the lack of vocabulary, I ran out of words to say. You deserved an upvote from me :)
