PENS, PLANS, AND THE GREAT PERHAPS || Writing Contest - main story image

Our prompt number is 10!

~~~~~~

They were only supposed to be friends.  Everyone knew that blind dates never worked out.  Stupid, luck of the draw gambles...  For some reason though, theirs did.

It began with hanging out.  Nothing more than that.  But one became two and then three and then it was too late.  Friendship became admiration which became love.

They had never fallen so hard before and together, they were invincible.  But nothing lasts forever...

Chapter 3: This is so sad! I'm glad that his family honored Junhong's decision to be cremated, and I can only imagine the pain that Daehyun was feeling at his loss. Youngjae was a wonderful friend, as were the other, and they will help him through the coming years. This story made me so sad, and my heart was hurting, but it was still a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Chapter 2: Gah! This chapter was a heartbreaker, and it was hard to contain my emotions. Junhong is strong, and Daehyun's anger was understandable, too. It's sad that they won't have more time together, and also that Daehyun won't be able to be there at the end. This is a beautiful story, but one of the saddest ones I have read this year♡.

Chapter 1: This was a great start, and their first meeting and the interaction between Daehyun and Junhong was easy and smooth, making it very believable. I loved this first chapter, though now I am very curious about Junhong's condition. I have a sad feeling this this might not end well:(. Great chapter, though!

Chapter 3: Ohoho one of my favourite pairings! Let's get started then!

First chapter, ah yes I liked how you made Daehyun seemed more reluctant about the meeting than all hyper to meet someone new after breaking up with his girlfriend. I could imagine the look of disbelief on his face to see a tall baby faced kid xD

The little pep talk scene, that was good. It didn't feel rushed like some fics where the characters fall in love after one line of talking lol. The following events were extremely cute ^^

Second chapter, I totally did not expect Junhong to have a disease and I didn't expect him to have such limited time to live, and that's a good thing. But the part where Daehyun overheard them, Junhong's confession was a little rushed and Daehyun was acting a little bratty? But Younjae balanced it out by forcing Daehyun to meet up at Junhong's place. But the making up part was a little rushed too but that's what it is.

The parts where Junhong was constantly in and out of hospital, it's so sad how they're trying to be so cheerful despite the situation T_T


I was suspecting that the next chapter wpuld be a funeral and you pulled it off extremely well. Daehyun's denial added onto the gloomy atmosphere and when he finally broke down I was screaming at my phone but I can't really remember why lol. WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME? T_T the following events, ugh I can't. And the pouring off ashes into the stream, how do you make it beautiful yet depressing at the same time gee. That final line, whoa it just sent a whole gush of feelings. Like ouch, my heart can't take it anymore!

So to finish off, it was a well written story overall and I hope you do well for the competition. Hwaiting! ╮(╯▽╰)╭

And then I am here in the corner thinking, 'Now DaeJae has a chance YAY' LMAO >.<
This story will win... unless some crazy amazing thing comes along, this is a shoo-in.
