you are altogether beautiful.
Description
A kaistal drabble collection; some of which will be inspired by songs I've heard, books I've read, or made out of general spontaniety.
Foreword
1. “worthwhile” ... there were no other alternatives; and she doubts there ever could be.
2. “a couple's quarrel” ... it's a matter of pride and vanity.
3. “formidable” ... when three against one isn't enough.
4. “in plain sight” ... he fell, deeper and deeper until finally, he knew.
5. “twenty questions” ... there's a lot you can learn about a person if you ask the right questions.
6. “one moment” ... one second can hold a forever.
7. “special” ... inspired by Radiohead's “Creep.”
8. “hide-and-seek” ... of stormy days, house games, and sweet, sweet kisses.
9. “common, but rare” ... isn't it true that rare things are the most valuable?
10. “off the record” ... in a moment of vulnerability, the truth begs to be heard.
11. “less is more” ... when looks speak more volumes than words.
12. “okay” ... life isn't perfect, but they're far from broken.
13. “love is free” ... It is a gift. It can't be bought, only given.
14. “chemistry” ... more than just a lab-partnership, less than what he has in mind.
15-16. “to be brave” ... inspired by the Divergent trilogy written by Veronica Roth—prologue, final.
17. “red” ... in which stop signs are indeed attractive.
18. “spontaneity at its best” ... when certain impusles entail certain consequences.
19. “the princess, her piano, and the not-so-meager-looking peasant” ... “if music be the food of love, play on!”—Shakespeare
20. “a bump in the road” ... “Where would I be without you, Jung Soojung?”
21. “chasing shadows” ... the more she knows, the less she seems to know.
22. “five more minutes” ... He knew he would spend the rest of eternity here if he could.
23. “we're on top of the world” ... So can I call you mine now, darling, for a whole lifetime?
24. “piece by piece” ... in which no one is too far broken, too far lost, to be found again.
25. “when she saw his face” ... playful conversation starts / counter all your quick remarks / like passing notes in secrecy
26. “rest stop” ... home is where the heart is, and her heart lies with him.
27. “unlovable” ... You're a heartbreaker, Jung Sooojung.
28. “irreparable” ... she broke him before he even had a chance to save her.
29. “like real people do” ... so I will not ask you / why you were creeping / in some sad way, I already know
30. “you think you're so funny” ... her hair might be different, but she's the same as ever.
31. “game over” ... there's a time for work, and there's a time for play.
32. “enjoy the ride” ... there's a lot neither of them have seen, but with each passing day, she knows better than to lose her head.
33. “first fires” ... an event from Nightshade Academy.
34. “fight or flight” ... Running away was never the right answer; but it was the easier thing to do.
