Remember the Rhododendrons

Description

Lee Jieun is on a small field trip to an old farm with her classmates who hate her more than she could imagine. When her group decides to explore the new landscape themselves and ditch the tour, Jieun follows, desperate to bring them back as she was the group's leader. It was when someone or something tripped her and pushed her down an empty well when Jieun noticed something strange was happening. Eventually, she wakes up from a short concussion, but she finds herself completely isolated in a world so different from where she lived.

Now that she's physically alone, Jieun would have to redefine the cause of her depression and discover that maybe—just maybe—if she actually tried to take a step outside of her comfort circle, she might not be as lonely as she thought she was.

Foreword

It always seemed that there are more people upset than her, more people hurt than her, and more people crying than her, but she let her selfish thoughts eat her, chew her, and spit her out so that she can forget their sadness and remember her pitiful world that isn't as pitiful as she viewed it to be.

But she's hoping—even if there's a grain of hope—that this familiar stranger would stop this struggling cycle of misery.

Author's Note: As I promised a couple of months ago, here is an IU and Taemin fanfic for christine12. Actually, she asked me to write a TaeU fanfic two years ago, and now I've finally decided to write one because I think I've finally found the time to write about them. I was contemplating on either a love comedy or a supernatural story, but when I discovered that I only had one supernatural story, I knew that the next story I wrote had to be some sort of fantasy or supernatural thing. So, here it is: A TaeU story that features magic and adventures. Honestly, I have no idea where this story is going to go. I found this plot idea while I was looking through some old documents I had back in 8th grade when I liked jotting down plots. I thought it was fairly interesting enough, so here it is!

You guys have no idea what I've went through for this story. It really took me weeks to come up with a plot for these two. You see, my other story, Miss Pariah, was supposed to feature TaeU instead of G-dragon and IU, but as you can see, it did not feature TaeU and I went with a pair that fit better with that story. Then I was thinking of creating this other story will spells and books with TaeU, but when I was writing it, it ended being less TaeU-ish and I had to scratch that one out. I knew that if I kept doing this, I'd eventually postpone the TaeU story again, so I wrote on my wall to remind myself that TaeU fic would come out on the 25th, which is today. So, after many creating plots and scratching them out, I have made Remember the Rhododendrons. I'm having mixed feelings with this one, but we'll see how things go.

Therefore, I hope you guys enjoy this story! First chapter will come out after I update my two other fanfics. :)

So---I actually got to the point after reading Mythos that I wanted to read all your other stories and started them, even if it wasn't a ship that I liked in particular. BUT!!! I really have nothing but praise for this story. Everything that was written her was perfectly done, even if at times I admit I did want to skip a few chapters (ALRIGHT I SKIPPED 2 CHAPTERS ONLY TWO). Even if you said this was a poorly written plotline, it had an IMMENSE amount of potential, and it hooked me from the beginning right to the very end.

If only I could write lengthy stories like that xD I have the tendency to write good short stories, but fail when it comes to plotting of the long long ones xD

Chapter 59: Aw taemin, my heart aches so much for him. Both him and jieun will be lonely again tho. Mino for sure won't remember his friendship with jieun and jieun will return back to her lonely life. Taemin created the worl because he's lonely but in the end, he will forever be lonely again. Ah this is sad. Anyway, good luck for your new fanfic.... I'm so gonna read that.

Sorry, this comment might not be helpful but yea, I appreciate your stories so I'm fine with any plot that you would go for. To think that it is an IUxJungkook fic, man, what more can I ask for? I'm hyped, teehee! ^^
