Fade to black

Description

The first thing he noticed was his hair: a dark shade of auburn – his dyed hair, smooth on the corners of his face, a perfect frame that covered his profile. Then, a quick gesture of his hand to tuck some locks behind his ear and a glimpse of his dark eyes and his nose.

(KangNam, AU) 

Foreword

I started this fic in July, I hope to finish it soon. The update could be sporadic, but the story will only have prologue + three chapters, so the wait won't be long. The title is taken from EYES NOSE LIPS by Tablo X Taeyang. 

 

This fic has been translated in Russian here. ♥

Chapter 5: I've read this story just now... And Gosh, i was already crying in the middle of the chapter two... Don't ask me why, I just felt all the emotions Seungyoon was passing by, and I simply couldn't avoid the tears.

In the two last chapters I was crying so hard and making such a effort to not make noises ç.ç I am still crying to be honest. This story is so beautful, but so sad and cruel... Because in one extent it shows how cruel the world is with people, at the same time they give life and color, it can take it away with such ease ><

I was beautiful to see how their relationship growed, how they loved each other despite all, and how they could construct a life they were happy with...

But sad because...

Depressed people, sometimes, are the best people to hide their emotions, they learn how to use a mask to decieve people that they are okay... They sometimes fool themselfs as well, that something is not wrong. Depression can appear in so many ways, and is something so real...

I can't imagine the guilt Seungyoon is carring for something he wasn't a fault, and at the same time I cant fantom the hell Taehyun went through in his depressed state. In this case no one were at fault.

I am so sorry for what happened to them... Is a story so real, as much as happy stories. Life isn't only happy endings, have the sad endings as well... Some really painful.

Thank you for this amazing story. Thank you a lot!! And... i finally could stop crying, still a bit shaken, but well... >< I really liked this story.

See you around ^^

Chapter 5: It's when I read this kind of stories that I realised how life is precious... lol i sound cheesy, but your fic give me goosebumps! I cried like poop (even if poop doesn't cry, let's pretend), even if I know that was a angst, i couldn't hold back anymore and let my tears go-
Tbh i'm a french reader (so sorry for my bad english xD) and even if I'm not bilingual, this story made me cry so much because i could totally imagine the scenes, your writing skills is no joke~
Love you authornim (even if you killed Taehyun T^T - let's rescussited him \o/ )

See ya, tchuuu~ <3

Chapter 5: Aw. This is good. Love the angst. I did get lost a lot when the time switches from past to present and when the narrator/speaker changes between SY and TH. Usually, they change to italics for past or they do some indentation. There's the use of subheadings too. Anyway, good job dear. I hope your beta will help you copy edit too. Sorry. I'm a big grammar nazi. No offense. I'm bad at editing my own work so I rely on others to review my work too.

Chapter 5: hola missy :* i remember reading this at the ship cabin, i was in solitary confinement --the kid went all titanic at the bow and told me she will be back after a couple of minutes. half an hour later, there's still isn't an overgrown 9 year-old walking through the door so i guess she went and explored the ship which was good because there were big tears rolling down my cheeks. poop. (thank god i dont have a mascara on that time phew)

Sunlight had me curious on how would it feel if i do manage to see tae in real life, which, im pret-tyy sure would be just like how seungyoon felt that time, a precise definition of love at first sight. (this is purely a work of fiction, but sweety, how you brought the story to life, i have no words you are so majorly awesome chica! i would let kim do the kneeling and kissing your hand for me hahaha, and im being all serious in here.omg. its official i'm embracing two cultures in the world of fanfics, wait i already have--the fluff and the angst. Kim has dragged me to enough heart smoldering stories and i can pretty much guarantee that i am enjoying it (but not much as she does)
Sunrise reminded me of the time me and the boyfriend first met, though to be honest i dont remember how exactly, it just made me reminisce the feeling haha
Noon had me chanting 'that wasn't so bad' even though im a fraction close to bursting out and be my drama-queen self especially from this line "I hate you so much for what you did to me, but i think i hate myself more. Please stop smiling now, this is not funny, im serious". i couldn't help but think i have been in a bubble of happy/funny stories that reading sad ones would bring out so much emotions. anyhoodles, back to to the story, i need to stop talking about me sheesh
Sunset ooh boy, this was the chapter where i definitely needed tissues i will not elaborate, i bet you can foreshadow what happened :'x

i gotta stop now im soo uber close to reaching the limit (again)
hugs and smoochiess

Chapter 5: This was gold! Really! I really appreciate your great talent in this heartbreaking and breathtaking story. It was like being in a rollercoaster of emtions and ohmygod i didn't prepare for this many tears. You wrote so beautifully with the time switching and stuffs. The way taehyun talked to seungyoon in his sleep was started as sweet and then it was deeply sad, melancholic even, and i feel like i can link with both of the main characters in this like my heart was clenching with them. Thank you so much for such an amazing story. Brb sobbing.

Chapter 5: i was listening to eyes, nose, lips Tablo ver before I knew you wrote this based on that song TT^TT and now I'm crying cause my heart is hurting so much... it felt so real and so relatable. I just read depressed people is everywhere and tend to disguised themselves with smile between others and... what Taehyun did was exactly like that and I understand why Yoon's heart was breaking because he didn't know as he supposed to be the one who understand him the most but turned out he didn't and that got me like ;A;

Omo I'm blabbering too much >< cause this fic got my chest in pieces, and you're really a good writer, how you deliver all those complicated emotions between two humans was beautifully brilliant, and I love kangnam as well <3 sometimes I feel that that jealous-but-still-wanting-to-happy-for-him-sincerely feeling is always there in Taehyun for Seungyoon. Idk why.

ANYWAY, I'm enjoying all your kangnam fics, thank you for writing a beautiful stories about them <3<3<3 keep writing, you're talented!
