Midautumn Words for Departure

Description

          Meeting Woohyun was a fate. He as a human reminds me of several matters. If he was a bird, he might be a raggiana. The bird of paradise that only feed on fruits or drink on morning dews and smells heavenly. Its beauty celebrated with envy and eternalised in countless poesy. If he was a plant, he might be a pine tree that is tall and sturdy. Deep rooted in the ground with its canopy kissing the sun light during the day and reaching for the rouge stars in the skies of night. If he was a book, he might be a paperback of fictions. Where realities and fantasies are knitted together transcending the plain and white paper just to reach the heart of readers.

           Woohyun as a person however is a living paradox. Thus I conclude if he was a raggiana, he will make his first and final stop on the earth just to die as an exaggerated myth. If he was a pine tree, his long years of existing might be dull and very lonely. If he was a book, he might be full of lies although the ending ought to be read as happy. Woohyun leaving me was a fate too. Upon his departure I realised, there was one more substance that he could also be. If he was a colour --if he was a colour I thought, he might be that dye of darkest black. The one that will coat all the vibrant with bereavement looms and make other shades perish. He made me perished.

i'm in no intention of glorifying death for some of them are not worth of celebration.

for the people i left behind and are dearly missed, for the people i have yet to meet but in my life therein they are contained; i would like to frame my words and transfigure them to wind lyres.

Chapter 1: Okay, one question that you have to answer me before you read on:
Do you ever imagine me as the lyrical I when you read my one shots for example? I mean, do you ever unconsciously think of me as the voice, as if I were in the story?


Now to my actual comment:
I don't know, I think it's just with your stories, and because we know each other so well, but I always imagine you as the protagonist in the story. Funny, huh?

Let's be honest. In the first paragraphs, it was difficult for me to make sense of the story because you were using so many words that I've never heard of, and sometimes it can stop the flow of the story. But that's just me because I don't know the meaning of so many words, so it's not your fault that I'm not sophisticated.

I think when they started talking, it became easier. For me to understand and follow the story. I especially like the part in which she says that everyone feels a certain pain differently. I can agree with that. It makes sense to me. And I liked how you explained and showed it to us.

I'll be honest, I have no sympathy for this Woohyun in the story, while I totally love Hoya in here. He seems really considerate and understanding. A keeper, I tell you. And Woohyun... Well, I once told my mom that there are two reasons why I would leave a man for good and never, I mean it, really never come back to him. The first being, he uses violence on me. And the second, when he cheats on me. So you get the idea. You get how I would feel about Woohyun.

Anyways, I hope you win this round. I'll be cheering for you. And I'm proud that you have managed to finish this. :33
