Bad Religion

Description

She worshipped the pair of eyes that stared right at her, this feeling that they effortlessly galvanized inside of her, the endless possibilities that it teased, the empty wishful what ifs for as long as she could remember. Over time it was just a bad religion. She gambled with the universe, standing under the heavens alone. She begged for mercy but was handed truth that even under a sea of stars, she couldn't make her love her.

Foreword

a foreword is a misnomer; the following is more of an obscure prelude, a ninety-nine-word preamble and my unsatisfying reasons in broad

inspired by a frank ocean song or four,

i just wanted to share this story with you

more accurately, i just needed to give this story its chance to breathe

it unexpectedly force me to think and grow as a human being

so i hate to label the collection as this or that

i hate to attach an addendum or a disclaimer here or there

i just wanted to give this story another place to visit outside of my own heart

if it lands, it lands

if not, trust me, i already got what i needed from it

cheers,

Z

Chapter 7: I can understand both sides. Jeongyeon only sees Nayeon and that's the problem. She's selfish because she doesn't care about anything else; selfless because she's willing to risk everything for Nayeon. Jeongyeon avoiding Nayeon because it hurts too much. Nayeon doing things that make her look selfish but in actual they should've had a conversation instead of waiting until they explode. I would be Nayeon if I were I that situation because really there's so many people and things to consider apart from just 2 people in love.

Chapter 6: I still have 2 chapters to read but I already cried like 2 times and my heart ached in so many moments. I'm not good at explaining my emotions but god, your writing style is so beautiful. All the interactions seems so real. I started reading this book because the title instantly reminded me of Frank's song and then I saw that you actually were inspired from it.(love how you used Taxi-driver and when you mention Jeongyeon's struggle with her "self-control", it reminds me of Frank's song with the same title) I wish it was longer but it's okay. Some things are maybe meant to be short but the impact it leaves last longer than anything. Lmao idk if I'm even making sense anymore, even though I still haven't read the ending, I want to say Thank you Author-nim for this exceptional story. All the best wishes for you. :")

Chapter 8: I hate how I guessed every song used in this masterpiece. I love how I felt Jeongyeon's pain, Nayeon's too. This is indeed a masterpiece!

I think this is the first open-ended fic I've read. And the best one yet! ?

Chapter 8: This one right here, it's a masterpiece, really. there's so many fics out there with much more dramas going on, and more painful to read, but somehow the simpleness and a sense of "reality" in this fic are the one that makes this fic have a special place in me.

Jeongyeon's way through this fic is just, so emotional. I wish I had more words in my head to explain this but, like how she's trying to go through this "relationship" with Nayeon, trying to make it happen, but then realizing how the world would never accept this idea of two girls from the same group fall in love. and then going through this anger phase with Nayeon, the depression came in, until finally she got her way to accepting herself and the world. I really love this idea and you can feel it's so well-thought by reading through the fic.

also I like how you put it into an open ending to us, like I personally don't really like an open ending I'll choose to get the ending even if it's a sad one. But for this one even if it's an open ending, we got one thing for sure, that both of them finally into their acceptance, and opening any ways to their relationships. and it's good enough in this fic. Kudos to you for making this good ending!!

and thank you for sharing this masterpiece to us! I really hope someday you'll comeback with another new fics about this pairing, or maybe other pairings I don't really care tho if I know I'm going to read that one! once again thank you!!

Chapter 7: I made the mistake of reading this at work and now I'm bawling my eyes out TT. But this is a work of art. The concept was well-thought of and the story was well-written. I have been looking for a 2yeon story with this kind of concept for a reaaaalllyyy long time and now that I found it, I guess you deserve some love :) I loved the way how you portrayed the characters. I think that you've put a realness om the characters that I can also see and observe from their real-life interactions. I always thought that the concept of "someone from 2yeon is leading the other party on" would make a beautiful story concept and could actually have a tinge of reality in it. I found those in your story and I just want to say again that you did well with this one. You earned yourself a fan, cheers!
