Nam Gil's POV

----------------------------------------------------------------

While walking through the building's hall I passed by Sooyoung and her boyfriend. For a moment our eyes met, and just like the usual, we greeted each other, exchanging bows and smiles. I did the same to her boyfriend.

 

I and Sooyoung live in the same building, she's an acquaintance. We've met several times before but we never really had the chance to get to know each other well since her members were the ones I always talk to.

 

Still walking, I noticed something different about the two. I don't know what it was but it might be serious from what I saw earlier. I proceeded on walking because manager Zee is waiting.

Third Person's POV

----------------------------------------------------------------

After a week...

Sooyoung walked herself home, drunk.

Nam Gil was in his unit, rehearsing his script for his upcoming drama when the doorbell rang.

"Ding-dong...."

He was so in to his work that he didn't notice the first ring. The first was immediately followed by another one and this time he stood, pissed by the fact that someone was actually pestering him at this hour. He stayed in front of the door waiting for another sign. Trying to figure out if it's just someone playing a prank on him. Then there goes another annoying "Ding-dong..."

He opened his unit's door and saw a lady looking like she just came out. She was facing down, her hair blocking her mysterious face. He just stood there looking at the lady when she suddenly approached him, snaking her hands between his arms to his waist and burying her face in his chest. Taking him into a gentle embrace. He was surprised but kept his cool and let the lady. He felt the tightening of the lady's embrace together with small sobs and the trembling of her body. At this point, he knew she was crying. He gently raised his hands and reciprocated the hug while caressing the small of her back.

He waited for moments when he felt the steady breathing of the woman, he carefully leaned out to see what the woman's doing and to his utter surprise he found out it was Sooyoung, already in a deep slumber. He saw the stains left by the tears shed. Her eyes were all red and puffy.

Chapter 1: Well, here goes my novel sized review again hahaha! First it was a nice work, quite short, but still great. I'll tell what I already said on another review of mine to you, the story could be longer. The time passed too fast, there wasn't a clear past. Also, what happened to her girlfriend? I think I have an idea, but it could be wrong...

If, my idea is right, Sooyoung is in that spirits because she broke up with him... If that really happened, then why not detailing the fight for example? Keeping it "secret" leaves a lot of possibilities, also, the author writing how things happened give a different feel. A friend of mine expected some things on my fanfiction, some were right, and when he read what happened his reaction was amazing, even though he already knew. A reader likes to know he/she is right and also loves to see things he/she didn't imagine before ;).

Now, about the end, it felt powerful, it felt deep. I loved it. "Can't you see I'm in pain from seeing your tears?" - it is a powerful, yet sad sentence to end your story. You wouldn't find something better there IMO. Just like one of my favorite oneshots that had a very tragic ending and the last sentence held much feels, it wasn't part of the story like your, but a retype of part of the last words from a character.

I like to review some pieces comparing to my favorites. In the tragedy genre, it always feels great to end without really ending, my favorite oneshot (the one from above), had its story finished without a real conclusion, and you did the same here! It's an amazing way of doing it. Because it give the feels and make the reader THINK! He/she will keep wondering what will happen in the future, will have some ideas, it'd be pretty funny if someone actually did a fanfiction of a fanfiction someday hahaha!

Well, in the end it's about that. Congratulations for this amazing work! I really liked the perspective shift, made it very pleasant to read! Keep up the good job.
