Description

Athazagoraphobia, the fear of being forgotten. And forgotten I am. Just like our story, written on an empty notebook.

I don't want to give away the character's traits since I want their traits to be exposed throughout the story.

AUTHOR '  S   NOTE

This is a one shot contest entry for Beyond Infinity Writing Contest. The prizes were just so damn tempting so I made this story. 

I'm going for a change by writing this in the guy's (Myungsoo) point of view. I've always been so used to writing all the sad angst stories from the girl's so now attempting for a change in emotions. Challenge is good once in a while right?

Infinite's Voice of My Heart is such a good song and the story was inspired from it. Subscribe if you want to cry and comment to tell me if you did. Let's stick with each other until the end okay? ^^

Foreword

Athazagoraphobia. The fear of being forgotten..Being ignored. Going through my days being just a "somebody" in other's lives. 

What am I doing wrong? What's wrong with me? Those thoughts invade my mind day by day. Just what am I doing wrong?

Maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with taking pictures. Scared of the day when I wake up and no one will know who I am. The pictures are there to tell me that I actually do exist, to keep me from going insane. To prove that  I was there during at least one part of their life.

And the day I feared the most came. You've left me. Forgotten about this person, forgotten that I had once existed in your life.

Trying my best to erase any traces of you in my heart, you always seem to find your way back in. 

All I can do is call out your name,  hold onto our memories, and wait for the day I will run into you again.

Chapter 1: Woah wait!!! So all this was just myungsoo's imagination? Is that why people look at him like his mental when he's with sanghee( in his mind??)?
Okay I don't quite get the story but I still love it. It just so different and just nice! I don't really like one shots cause they are just too short to tell a full story( my opinion) but yours was great. It didn't feel short, in fact I felt that this short is just the right length! Short and sweet! Love it!

Chapter 1: And now also I use athazagoraphobia as part of my everyday vocabulary along with a few other long phobia names.

Chapter 1: This is possibly one of the best stories I've read on AFF, even though it was just a oneshot.

What I feel happened? I feel as if either she had amnesia and somebody lied to her and said that they were her boyfriend when she already had Myungsoo.
Or, the other thought I had, was that she had died and Myungsoo was just seeing her spirit or something along the lines of that.

Chapter 1: This story was very amazing.

I really hbe no clue what's going on but maybe it's because she has a disease? She forgot Myungsoo maybe..
Or he was reincarinated? She asks Myungsoo if they will ever forget each other but what happens is what Myungsoo fears most
Asdkdkdjshaksks. Idk.

Chapter 1: I've never felt so many emotions at once while reading a fanfic. I love how detailed you were in every scene it just made everything so vivid.

I feel like Myungsoo just built her up in his imagination. Maybe at some point in his life there was someone in his life who was very precious, and they might have moved or passed away. He probably had forced himself to believe that he would be forgotten because this person had moved on. However in the end he realized that even without this person around he could still live happily.

It could also be that he fabricated this person in writing...

Thanks for sharing such amazing one shot~

Chapter 1: It was beautiful,yeobo~♥ it made me have mixed emotions. Pity,Sorrow, Confused. All those feelings made up to a wonderful story. The details you used gave me a clear picture in my head. The plot was very unique, by far your best. :D

What I thought had happened?(had to write it down on paper XD)
I felt like Myungsoo was imagining her. Maybe in his past he had loved her, but she had died. He didn't want to admit her death and wants her to be around.So he imagines.Maybe he imagined the bad possibilities of her leaving instead of death. Maybe she had a twin sister that he didn't know about. Or perhaps she was reincarnated and looked like the past self. And at the end, he realized that their love was strong. That nothing could break their red thread. :)

The more I think about it, the more I do feel that Sanghee is a reincarnation. Myungsoo has illusions from his past life, and in his past life, there was a girl who looks like Sanghee, and they loved each other and promised that they'll never forget each other, but in their next life, Sanghee doesn't recognize Myungsoo as her lover in her past life. ^o^ I really loved the story~!!!

Chapter 1: OKAY! I shall bravely comment down here XD

Your story title captivates me. But somehow, I think it links to the female lead. She's real; not an illusion. I'm guessing that she suffers from a disease whereby she has memory loss or something. She truly loves him during the time of their moments, but because she forgets him inevitably due to her disease!

I think this is a story that leaves many questions for the readers. A mystery! I like it ^_^
