This is All That I Can Say

Description

A story about Hoya and Dongwoo's struggle for significance in the blank unmoveable face of irrelevance.

Novella length. This is a story about a friendship, so there's no or romance.

Foreword

About 2 years ago my little sister showed me INFINITE'S BTD video and it sent me straight down the KPOP rabbit hole. Like most Kpop fangirls, I discovered a scarily obsessive part of myself and my days and thoughts were filled with INFINITE.

At around the same time I was trying to start writing again. High school had completely crushed my work ethic and time management under the weight of coursework, and now that I was on my way out and into college I had begun to pick up the pieces. That process inevitably also involved me considering the dark terrifying beast called the future and my urge to write came back, more urgently than ever. It was something that needed to become a real part of my life again, now and for the future.

So somehow these forces combined to form this fic, the first thing I've written in years.  I started and completed it last summer, then I went off to college and basically had very little to no time to write fiction during the school year.  Then, the next summer, I came back and began the rounds of editing and wrote the epilogue.. 

I initially intended to send this story to only my closest friends and leave it at that. There are days when I'm extremely self-conscious about it. It is nowhere near where I'd like to be, of course, partially because it is the product of atrophied muscles finally getting their first experimental flexes. But there are times when I'm like it, I've spent a year on this, let's get it out there.

This must be one of those days.

You've probably already figured this out, but this story is already completed.  I think I'll post a good chunk now and then post chapters daily (or something near that) until I've gotten the whole thing up.  I hope you enjoy the ride.

Of course, all feedback is appreciated~

Chapter 25: Whenever I read a great story; I get a feeling of thanking the authour. But this was so REAL. I can say I felt every words and sentences. I wondered while reading "Has this authour experienced such a situation? This is so REAL." I don't know how to thank you but I will really be greatful if you continue writing and share the reasult of your skillful writng with us. Should I read it again? And again? I wish I could write as you. I think I've forgotten how to write. Thank you and hope you and all the talented authours don't hesitate to share their emotions with us.

I'm very grateful you decided to share your story with us. I am very picky with fanfics and style, so when I found yours I was very very happy to get such a good story from my favourite pairing. I loved everything about it, from -obviously- how you portrayed Hoya and Dongwoo's friendship, to its progression, the narration, the metaphors and your writing style in general. It was very novelesque and, even though it has quite a good number of chapters, I wish it were longer. That's the feeling when you deeply enjoy what you're reading, right? You want more. So thank you again, and I hope this beautiful story may wake up your writing senses again and you will give us more Yadong in the future. Best of luck for your remaining years at college. It's a tiring experience but worth it, try to enjoy your time there as much as possible! :)

Chapter 25: I've never cried for a story before, but I actually had to take breaks halfway through the last two chapter just so I could see straight. This story is amazing and so very well written. Even though I knew how it was going to end, it still hurt. You were able to bring me in to the story and that is a very hard thing to do. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for writing this. It is by far one of my favorite stories I have read in the past few years.

Chapter 24: Okay, I can't believe this, I wrote two comments in a day on the same story. Author-nim, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for making me tear up in the morning. I actually stumble upon this story last night and straight up reading half way through it. I don't even know what to write anymore since I'm still emotional over this story, but one thing for sure, you wrap it up pretty nicely.

Thank you

I'm blown away! Too many emotions to comprehend. I seriously love this kind of real life situation story but the fact that it's so sad really conflicts with my excitement on reading this. This is beautifully made, I can't wait for future updates. >w<

I really like your writing style. The way you describe everything makes me picture it and I feel as if I'm watching it rather than reading it. I really hope you write more stories and/or go in to writing professionally. This story is amazing so far.
