Deciphering

Description


“I know your secret.” A male voice echoed into Hyukjae’s ears, and he chuckled, clapping his hands together and putting them on his lap.

“Good for you”, he said, never removing his stare from the dirty, black floor. “Now it’s not a secret anymore, apparently.”

“How do you know?”

He smiled, although his next words came more as a rather bothered statement, “Because you have no idea if I just made this up or not.”

“Neither do you know if I did.”

The other’s voice was almost persuasive; it had appeared as if the unknown man wanted to prove something, using naïve ways to get to Hyukjae’s mind.

He turned his head to the side, a brow rising until it disappeared behind the layer of bangs, and noticed a brunette with lake-blue eyes, locking their gazes in just a way peculiar enough to slightly unhinge him.

Chapter 3: This is actually the best, well constructed story *cough* that doesn't contain *cough* that i have ever read!. Honestly it was great, i love everything philosophical and things that have a deep and mysterious meaning behind it, and this story seems perfect to me, seriously i can't get over how awesome this is...to think that i can love a story here that doesn't revolve around heh heh. But hey can't blame me some of the best stories are rated m (>_>)
anywho i loved the way you fused the mystery, psychological, philosophical and supernatural aspects into your story. I understand most of what went on but i was confused at some points, like if kyuhyun was a sprit or not because he was able to go with hyuk everyday to his work place but then jongwoon accused kyu of stalking him so i assumed he was human though i'm still ...iffy..about the subject, and when hae arrived i was dammned sure he was a sprit who would annoy hyuk and would eventually end up with the two falling in love which would have made things even more complicated, i realised at some point that he was in fact human but when it was revealed that he was plagued by demons/misguided sprits and needed hyuk's help to get rid of them i thought 'damn how is this going to play out i wonder'. Since this story is psyhological there are multiple ends that i think might be the ending but i'm just not sure, i may be overthinking it but i just do that when it comes to meaningful stories like this. It frustrates me to think i can't grasp this completely but i can't deny that i completely adore this story! Please help me with figuring out some of this if you can! (^-^)/

Chapter 3: Okay, so I just finished reading this story and... It was great!
I loved the atmosphere, the mood of the story, the way you made it incredibly mysterious and mystic, and yet realistic!
The characters are awesome, Hyukjae was hot, cool, rude, grumpy, yet sweet and loyal, I loved how his personnality wasnt superficial. Donghae was just DAEBAK! I loved him the most, rambling and questionning everything, so damn mysterious and cute like a button at the same time! Srsly, he's just awesome <3 we don't see the other characters so much, but it's okay because the story flows perfectly with just the two of them!
The story itself was very interesting. I liked this version of spirits and demons, how the living and the dead's worlds collide. You made it realistic and natural, that's not always easy! Well done!
The beginning was intriguing, because I had no clue about what was going on it took me a while to understand who was Kyu (and what he was) but then you made it perfectly clear with the scene at the park and I think you brought the bases of the story in a very interesting way.
Then, when Donghae appeared I wondered who he was, what he was and what he wanted from Hyukjae and it confused me until I understood he was human too.
The plot was well handled because I didn't see things coming or predicted what was going on, and I loved it! The general idea of Hae searching help from Hyuk was very nice, I enjoyed the storyline a lot!
The only "bad" thing is that I'm not sure I understood the end D: The ending is a bit confusing, I need to read it again. I'm a bit disappointed with myself that I couldn't get it, it was too psychological for me... but I'll try again, just the end, the very last part of the story. I won't admit defeat yet! ;D
I also wished there was more romance, but okay I like it this way :)
I'll end this comment now and I'll just say : It was brilliant. Cool, emotional, deep, constructed and mysterious. Great story! I wish you good luck for the contest! :D
