"Don't let her shed another tear over you."
Jongup's strained voice whispered through the receiver, nearly inaudible.
But Jongin heard every word.
--
It has always been three - the two of them and her.
But when hearts begin to beat at the same rhythm,
only two can tread the path ahead together -
one must step aside and be left behind.
macchiato-'s note:
When I first read the description, I had thought that the story was going to be another cliche love triangle between three best friends and Jongin would eventually be with Krystal and Jongup would be the one to be left behind. But no, no. Don't let the description fool you. Sacrificial Destiny is a lot more than that. It tells you about the beauty of sacrificing; the art of letting go of what you beloved for what you equally loved.
(+): I like how falliblefantasy juxtaposed Jongin and Jongup as brothers, it gave off an effect toward the story itself. Vivid descriptions, beautifully written, contains of logical reasons in regard to the characters' actions. Love the message, too.
(-): I personally think it would've been better if Jongin's illness was revealed and discussed more, somehow, but that might just break the entire plotline. Besides, it gave you the space to conclude and imagine it yourself, so it's nothing that would irk or annoy you. Sacrificial Destiny may seem like a simple story but the author managed to dig it into its core.
hey, just updated the list with a mark-centric one. will add more soon, stay tuned!
