I Could Use Another Cigarette

Description

You just need something to take the edge off. Something that will make your head light and your thoughts clearer. It doesn't matter how many you're going to use, as long as you relax. Gotta take the edge off.

Your names are Hakyeon, Sanghyuk, Hongbin, Wonshik, Jaehwan, and Taekwoon, and you sometimes wish you could catch a break in life. Parents, looks, perfection, attention, being different, feeling useless, having feelings for people you shouldn't . . . Being alive. Sometimes, you just need a cigarette.

The nonlinear tellings from the lives of six teenage boys from different backgrounds.

Cha Hakyeon, a talented dancer and the son of a well-to-do business man; he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps despite his parents' pressure.

Jung Taekwoon, a boy with an extremely perfectionist personality; nothing he ever does is good enough for his standards. He's often left alone because his parents are on business trips and his sisters have their own lives.

Lee Jaehwan, someone who thrives completely and totally off other people's attention; he has many insecurities and is scared of being left alone. More often than not, he feels unlucky when it comes to having a crush on someone.

Kim Wonshik, a rambunctious punk whose only real goal in life is to completely protect his sister. He'll go to any lengths necessary to keep her out of harm's way. To distract from his daily life, he completely throws himself into dancing.

Lee Hongbin, a young model and slightly aspiring musician who both absolutely despises and desperately clings to his unusual good looks. Most of the time, he often has trouble seeing his own worth and feels completely useless.

Han Sanghyuk, the youngest who always feels like he's messing up and is incapable of ever doing anything right. He's scared of his father and fears losing his mother or his mother turning against him.

They're together through thick and thin, but when the going gets to be too much, can they all pull through?

Chapter 12: I've gone through all your work and somehow missed this one but I finally read it and wow I'm so lost for words. Everything about your writing is so beautiful. It all feels so real reading about the insecurities and issues each one of them is going through. The way you write just makes me /feel/ so much. It's relatable and tragic and I applaud in your ability to convey emotions so well in your writing. Thank you so much for this piece, you're a real gem in the fandom.

Chapter 12: You really do these so damn accurately. Like... I hope you're okay, as you're understanding of all this only makes me worry that you've been there. Like, okay, so many of us have been there, but still. Thank you, for putting into words what so many of us feel. Honestly, I'm just so impressed by how deep your understanding goes with all of the characters in this story. It's so touching, how you handle then all, and how eloquently you express their pain. Bless you, honestly.

I reread this just because. But this time I'm leaving a question that I wanted to ask since the first time I read this piece.






He(Ravi) didn't get caught, did he?

Chapter 12: This chapter is so beautiful. I have always loved your style of writing. You are incredible at tapping into those honest emotions that pull at the reader's heartstrings. I could honestly identify with Taekwoon so much in this chapter. I had tears in my eyes - it was so amazing. I am a silent reader most of the time, but I wanted to commend you for this lovely chapter
