Exits are Entrances, Says Time

Description

Exits are Entrances, Says Time
"One lives for tomorrow, one enjoys what's left of today, one lingers in the fading yesterday."

Life was like driving in a round-about, not knowing which was the right exist to take, which is the one that's blocked off, and which is the one that's a dead end. Of course, comparing life to asphalt wasn't really what Bang Chelyong did. He always thought that randomly choosing a road would be good enough. Every road eventually leads to another, doesn't it? For him, simplicity is the key to life, the one hack that works with everything. People tend to over look what's right in front of them, always blindly fumbling for something too far out of their grasp. Humanity was stupid, Bang Chelyong decided. How can they not see that worrying about tomorrow will only crush the dreams of today?

Tomorrow, I can finally be free tomorrow. Empty promises, Lee Changsun is really good at making empty promises. Tomorrow - it was always tomorrow, but when tomorrow came, it became today, and tomorrow will always be anticipated again. Tomorrow, tomorrow, goodbye tomorrow, you've became today, and I only look for tomorrow. He wasn't reckless - he was far from reckless. Plans, there should always be plans. Plans are made to be executed, and perfection is the perfect plan. The hardest way out is the easiest, it's a lot more clean, no feelings attached. Tommorows are Lee Changsun's sure proof plan, since he can't seem to rely and enjoy today.

Pain, conflicted pain. It wasn't hard to let go, no, it was hard. But he was never sure - Sanghyun can't be sure. When the memories haunt him, when it clings to him like a second skin. He can't let go - he can, but he won't. Yesterdays are always perfect, but they're not. He doesn't know - he never knows. He lives life in a blur, since today is never as good as yesterday, and what good would tomorrow be if it can't be as good as today, and today is never as good as yesterday - or was it? He still can't seem to decide. No, he could, but he wouldn't, because Thunder only lives in the past, tomorrow is nothing compared to the trials of today, and today won't ever be as good as yesterday.

 

Foreword

Time - everything is about time. Time is needed to maintain balance, it's needed for us to thrive, for us to survive, it's a measurement - always counting down 'til the day you die from your birth. In most aspects, time is cruel - what is time even about? Time is the years, the months, the weeks, the days, the hours, the minutes, the seconds - everything that measures - from day to night, from dawn to dusk, from morning to evenings. Everything in day, and every hour of night is time. Time, time, time, few people use it wisely, and end up dying with regret. Time, time, time, was the tick of a clock and a ring of an alarm. Time, time, time, most people don't know what time is. Time, time, time, time is living, time is life. Time, time, time - time is everything, because everything needed time.

Your existence is time, the tenth of a millisecond is time, when you breath in and out - that's time. Time isn't what keeps you alive, but rather it is a debt collector - the one counting downs the days until your death. Time is patient, time is cruel, time is long, time is short. Time is a figureless person, a death messenger and angel of heaven, a scorekeeper and a referee, judging, keeping, waiting, all ends when time runs out. Forever doesn't exist, because time is bound to end. Eternity is a pretty word that doesn't mean time. Time, time, time, time is running out. Ticking away with the seconds, time, time, time
.

Author's Note: I'll make this short and simple. This is a more vague and difficult story of mine's, and I decided not to publish it on my main account because of reasons. It's simple but at the same time difficult to understand. I recommend reading it over carefully, or else you might end up confused. I have half of the first chapter typed, I should get it up by tomorrow. As I mentioned, this isn't my main account, so I have other projects to work on. Updates won't be on a shedule, but whenever I can get time to type it up. This focuses more on friendship and social developments, rather than romance and drama. A bit of my own philospy is thrown in, and you will see how I think and adapt to my strange style for this. I don't usually type like this, my style is a lot more plain, but I decided to spice it up for this story. I wanted to make my readers think, what type of a person are you? For me personally, I live in all three of these realities. As I continue with the story, you'll find out which day I live in because I'm biased towards that one character. It's a bit difficult to understand with just the description and foreword, but it should clear up pretty soon. I hope I don't forget anything and please enjoy.

Chapter 6: This is beautiful!

I enjoyed reading. The feeling was so warminh. You portray time beautifully. Did you perhaps take philosophical major? I my self never understood about philosophy. They were all confusing.

Yours is quite confusing, too. But it's pretty and took my interest. For once, I found myself read a philosophical story without feeling forced.

Author-nim, thank you for writing this. That was quite an ending! Thank you thank you thank you. I learn something. Really thank you :)

Chapter 6: Omo! What a twist!!!! I mean, i guess you did drop the hint of angels and all, but i never thought that you would make Mir die again >< That was a brilliant move and i have to applaud you for that!!!
Seriously. The writing was as beautiful and magical as always. it never fails to draw me in and make me read it in one whole go! It's pure magic the way you write.
And then the bit about time and fate and love was just beautiful. Absolutely, absolutely beautiful. I ADORE the way you personify them and treat them like gamemasters playing chess. The way Mir is caught in the middle like a helpless, unfortunate pawn and the brilliant way in which somehow this is perfectly bittersweet, leaving Joon and Thunder together and Mir in a somewhat higher pedestal to them both.
Hrm, i have my theories on what you'll put for the epilogue, but regardless, i'm sure it'll be amazing. I totally look forwards to it and once again~ Siiiiiiigh i just absolutely LOVE your entire fic~
Will check out you other fics when i grab some time! Haha, super busy lately, but you~ I will always try to make time for you!

Chapter 5: Yes, yes~ Totally in love with this fic~~~
It is absolute magic~ I just can't get enough of your writing! Haha, you know what i think? In about a hundred years time when the future generation sit in literacy class or something, i'll bet they'll quote you in their essays XDD It's just pure brilliance what you write.
Ahhhh, nearly over? Well don't worry. I'll stick around till then and with whatever comes next~ Until then, i'll enjoy this fic to the max~
And as for that lil thunderxmirxjoon moment...just absolutely precious ><

Chapter 4: Wooo~~~~ Another brilliant two chapters!!!
Ahhhh and as always i LOVE your writing. Haha, trail mix, niiiice metaphors~
Hmmm i can totally not predict what you are going to do next. The whole story has a really nice pace and reflects real life so well. But i'm wondering if you're going to pair any of the three together. Sometimes i squeal and want JooMi and then JoonDoong, but then i feel perhaps its best with the three of them on equal footing and i wonder if that's what you set out to do.
Shrug.
Okay, i officially love you for these chapters tho. Thanks for writing them~

This is pure art. Really. It's so beautifully written. The contradictions within the text of past, present, and future make it all the more beautiful.

Your writing has a certain rhythm to it... Almost like one would hear in a song. Your pattern is soothing, not overly complex, almost relaxing, but poignant.

Beautiful.

{Now the inner fangirl inside of me is going to break out and demand JoonMir.}

Chapter 2: Wow. I stumbled upon this fic randomly and all i can say is that i have completely and utterly fallen in love with it.
The whole concept of time and living in the past, present or future is just beautiful. In addition your words...i would call them...lyrical, perhaps poetic. Seriously, they just ring in my mind like a bell and stay there.
It's so realistic that i can't not love it.
Brilliant job and looking forwards to more~
