A Cracked Reflection

Description

Youngjae was used to the bright, fake smile he flashed to everyone. So much of his time was spent putting off an ever growing unhappiness for another time, that perhaps, if he continued this delay long enough the desision might be taken out of his own hands. For the time being, he decided, fate would continue its cruel game of cat and mouse.

 

Rating: PG-15 [For language and adult situations, although, who am I kidding with this, there are 10 year olds on this site reading word ]

Pairing: DaeJae [Main]

                Minor BangZelo [if you squint your eyes and turn your head to the side while standing on your left hand.]

Genre: Drama, Angst, Romance, Fluff and Adventure in between.

Disclaimer: This is based off of what I gathered from the One Shot MV [and the album in general]. I know everyone is writing these, and I’m actually reading a few of them, but… Not of them [no matter how good they all are, seriously, they are all really good] are what I was looking for after watching the MV, so, here is my take. Any similarities between this story and any other… well, just remember we are watching the same MV, kay?

The Russian translation can be found here. I want to thank my wonderful friend, CrazyDreamer and her friend for doing it~ I still feel extremely honored that they would take the time to translate my fic! Thank you once again!

The lovely poster was made by the equally lovely and super amazing  Love Sprouts PosterShop . Definitely worth it, keke. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good quality unique poster for their fanfiction.

Foreword

“I’m not sure, hyung… I like it being just the five of us…”

“Zelo, we need someone to replace Yoseob. It’s not safe for us to be an uneven number, you always need someone to watch your back in this business.”

“Himchan is right.”

Zelo looked up at the deep voiced man as he stood in the doorway to the room that he and Himchan were in, and sighed with a nod, “I know, but…” He let his voice trail off, thinking of how in a recent draw down against a local rival, they had lost one of the oldest members in the small gang. It was a hurt that Zelo didn’t want to feel again. He looked up as YongGuk put a large hand on his shoulder.

“I know, Zelo. How about you help us screen out all of the rejects?” He asked with a grin as he let a stack of folders hit the table in front of Zelo and Himchan.

“What about Dae hyung and Jongup hyung?” He asked.

YongGuk looked up at Himchan as the second in command got up to go get them, “Okay, Zelo, we’ll decide together.” He said, happy to see a smile cross Zelo’s face.

Chapter 61: First off, I'm really glad I read this story after it was completed, or it would've messed me up and hurt me way more because I wouldn't've known if there was a happy ending. Secondly, the fact that I KNEW there was going to be a happy ending and things were okay in the end but was still affected so much by the things that happened was crazy. Like, I knew things ended up well because I skimmed chapter 60 beforehand because I didn't want to end up reading such a long story just to be wrecked at the end because there wasn't a happy ending. But this story was just so greatly written, everything made sense, and at no point did I have the thought of anything being unnecessary. I felt what the characters were feeling, and every time good things were happening, I would just say to myself, "It's gonna hurt when the betrayal comes" (given that it was based off the One Shot MV).

I also like to think that at the marriage scene, it's just this weird conglomerate of gang members (like Nu'est and Infinite) and cops from Youngjae's old job that have set aside grudges for the happy day.
