I got this idea a while back after writing Moon Flower, so there are some parallels between them. The Japanese, as far as I know, is a word that implies change happens very suddenly and intensely, much like the life cycle of a cherry blossom or sakura tree. I wanted to leave some room for ambiguity as far as what happened to Chanyeol, but mainly the story is focused on Baekhyun's grief and unwillingness to accept that change.

Anyway, I hope you liked it^^ feedback is always appreciated, and follow me on twitter if you want to talk to me there too.
