Roses Are Red

Description

Jongin likes jazz and brandy and Chet Baker's songs. He meets Kyungsoo at a nearby cabaret one rainy November Sunday night, with his dark, round eyes, full lips, soothing voice and burgundy hair. But while they're tap-dancing to Benny Goodman, Jongin can feel himself running out of breath.

Foreword

 

This is a Hanahaki Disease ! AU.  Beware of ​​​​angst ! 

This has a lot of jazz references and jazz songs' titles in it, so I strongly advise you to look them up (listening to the songs while reading can also get you into the atmosphere). 

thanks for reading, subscribing, upvoting and commenting !

 

 

What is the Hanahaki Disease ?

It is a fictional illness caused by unrequited love, characterized by the blooming of a flower inside the person who's in love but not loved back's lungs. The flower grows until choking its carrier to death, but not before making them go through long and painful sessions of vomiting blood and flower petals. The only way to get rid of the disease is to remove the flower with medical surgery, but it also has the effect of erasing all memories of the previous love.

(The only other way to heal from Hanahaki is to finally have your feelings shared.)

Chapter 1: I am weak. I love hanahaki stories and this is the first time I've read a story where Jongin's the one with the flowers and is not loved back. Quite a refreshing change, but I feel miserably sad over their non thing. But heck, Ksoo was clear with what he wanted from Jongin BUT FEELINGS I really enjoyed reading this

Chapter 1: WOW /claps/
I never heard about hanahaki-disease before-----okay i heard but aint bother to do some research. A good way for bringing kaisoo on a story, much for a oneshot. Well, they escalated so quickly /sobs/ Good job there, keep going!

Chapter 1: Oh man, I hurt, and you did this to me. For the first time with a Hanahaki story, I'm really glad the cure is to forget. Kyungsoo was a coward and I don't want Jongin to remember that pain. I am happy to see Jongin surrounded by friends, flirting with a cute guy, and completely unaware that the dull stranger at the end of the bar caused him so much emotional and physical harm. But Kyungsoo, that almost invisible man... I guess that's what causes the lasting pain for me, it's the pity I feel for the coward who lost so much. Thanks so much for this lovely and devastating story! I loved it!
