It was late at night, and someone knocked on the front door of the flat that didn’t belong to me but three of my brothers. Who could it be? Sunggyu hyung was out drinking, Howon and Dongwoo at our company working with another production, and I just happened to be around because of the X-Box.

My question was answered the moment I peeked through the peephole. I swung open the door swiftly.

With a blinding smile, she was looking for her "Junhee". 

 

“He’s not around,” I replied. Her expressions froze. 

“Then, Woohyun oppa,” she hesitated, then quickly picked up the edge of her lips again, “mind telling me a place to finish them off?” and lifted her left arm to my eye-level, along with the cling-clangs coming from the content inside the white plastic bag. 

 

It was 1:47a.m. The streets we walked past were mostly dim and empty. Camouflage was almost needless.

The rooftop of our compound was what I suggested, a place where only the seven of us know could let us hide away from all the sasaeng cameras and crazy stalkers all over the city. But she only raised her eyebrows and agreed. As if she's been there, many, many times. 

 

Her guard was on the entire time we walked together. The kind of guard I know the best, 

"Why do you look like you've expected this suggestion?" As I saw myself in her forever smiling eyes. 

 

‘Smile to yourself as you stare at your reflection; 

Smile big, Smile so brightly, 

Smile until you can convince yourself: you look happy enough to fool others. ' 

 

If you would ask me to give the best description of Jung Eunji? 

I have always thought, she might be my long-lost twin in this corrupted pool of fame. 

We are so pathetically similar. 

 

I opened the door to the rooftop, “Ladies first.” 

She laughed with a nod, naturally walked pass the door, 

And strode to the left corner without any hesitation. 

 

“Oppa, how much do you drink?” She said casually and sat down on the tiles, handing me a bottle of soju from the bag, 

“Around two?” I chuckled, “You sure you want to drink that much with a guy?” 

She scoffed, and without even lifting her head, 

“Oppa you probably didn’t notice during our dinner gatherings, but I can probably drink just more than you.” 

 

"Ah," Dinner gatherings at Hyungdon hyung's house, she must be referring to those. Or maybe the ones held by our CEOs. 

I stared at my reflection and took the bottle from her. 

As our bottles clinked, so did my heartstrings. 

 

Smiling, she said at the last sip of her first bottle, 

“Wow, this is rare,” she looked up to the sky, “but nice weather tonight, isn’t it?"

She stopped. "It's just never nice to drink alone, you know?

So, I have to thank

Chapter 3: damn, the time is so bad.. I shouldn't visit your story when Im so emotional.. I am really sorry lil.

trust me your writing is steps above me, you don't need my help. because, see, Ive been affected like this.. And I guess your next chap will give me the same impact

to be honest, Im all for woohyun, but then it continously hurts me.. weren't you hurt too, writing this story? I wouldn't be able to write something like this, ever..
you're so brave..

can I stay mean?
please let me.......

if woohyun cannot have eunji, then don't let anyone to have her, including gyu. if woohyun continues being hurt, then hurt everyone else in this story, including eunji and gyu. if woohyun suffers from that pain, I want everyone to feel it too. if woohyun won't be healed, ever, then no one will too.

now you can hate me..

Chapter 1: it hurts lil
i cannot help you with anything..
maybe because Im as weak as him, maybe because Im hurt just like him.. ugh, it really hurts and I don't know what to do

putting woohyun and sunggyu in one frame is like putting yoseob and sunggyu together, i will not know what to do, because this emotional girl is too scared to be hurt
mian chingu, Im really emotional lately..

Chapter 3: oh, gosh. i can really feel her pain here :( i actually went back to listen to the song while rereading and each word feels like a stab in the chest. SUNGGYU YOU AJDSKLFJLAALGA. whyyyyyyy. i want to give eunji a really big hug. the feeling of wanting to hate someone while loving them, in my opinion, is one of the most heartbreaking emotions there is in this world. and your prose is so beautiful. i think my favorite line, if i really had to choose, is, "Such memories, tattooed on my bones and committed by heart..." and reading this makes me feel sad for woohyunnie too </3

lack of gyuji/pinkfinite for the next few months makes me want to cry, too. i need more inspiration >.<

is this the final installment? or is there another sunggyu chapter based on "alive"? tbh i'm really curious for his pov since "alive" is a song about trying to let go of an ex, but in this chapter is seems sunggyu is remorseless?

Chapter 2: THIS IS TOTALLY WHAT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE AND NO ONE WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.
i liked the additional touch of the lyrics ;) and the howon sass haha that fits him so perfectly!
of course gyu should be jealous and try to pass it off as his duties as a leader ^^ poor woohyunnie though, my heart breaks for him </3
the last line was so beautiful that it slayed me. i swear you're trying to convert me into a wooji shipper or something because i can't help but want woohyun to have a happy ending orz
