『The Red Strand』

Description

붉은 실

 

“Two souls bound by the red thread are fated lovers,

regardless of time, place or circumstances.

The strand may stretch or tangle, but shall never break… ”

-East Asian Legend

 

 

 

There was only one who could see them- those thin, red threads spread all over the streets, wrapped around lamps and trees, tangled up in one another, sometimes tearing in two, meaning one of the two lovers passed away before having the chance to meet the other...

Author's note: This story, alongside with  The Last Lullaby was placed on 17th place in a national writing contest, so I'm pretty happy to be able to share it with you guys. I sent it just as it is in here, with the same names and stuff, that's why it was a big surprise for me to get into top 20 and all. I mean I live in a small country with mostly conservative nation and yeah, I basically sent them a story about two men falling in love :D

Chapter 2: Thank you so much ! This story is beautiful.
I've read it about a month ago and that image of red strings is still very vivid and affecting in my head. Though I was carried away by Key's part a bit more, it was both complete in one way and incomplete in another.
Best wishes)

Chapter 3: ......for God's sake, I think we need a bit more than just 2 chapters! Your writing is so addicting. The words were chosen beautifully and I can't stop smiling throughout the story.

Chapter 3: Too bad this one has 2 chapters, it's a really good story. You Lind of left a pot open with this story and make people wonder how they will progress in the future. I think it's kind of SD that you don't decide to write a real ending chapter, but that is your decision.

Thanks for writing this, it was something of great quality.
