♫ Grieve. So that you can be free to feel something else.

Nayyirah Waheed

 
It had been a week.
 
It had been a week and I’m still here.
 
I answer the phone and reassure everyone I’m okay.
 
I answer the door and let them in; we talk and though I am quieter than usual, they understand and leave reassured that I hadn’t done anything stupid.
 
I had always handled myself well after all.
 
If only they saw me now, on the bathroom floor with a bottle of Ambien in my hand.
 
But I never take more than recommended. 
 
I'm well aware this drug won't kill me in one go. 
 
I've done my research. 
 
Instead, I pick myself up and only take two capsules before going to my room to hide under the covers.
 
I should want to do it.
 
I'm capable of finding another way.
 
But I don't. 
 
Call it the will to live or human instinct, but I just can’t end it.
 
Can't I?
 
Won't I?
 
Do I want to?
 
Why is this so damn complicated?
 
What’s keeping me here?
 
My music?
 
The music I've lost motivation to compose?
 
My money?
 
If I lost everything now, I wouldn’t care. I’m not money hungry enough to kill myself over it.
 
How pathetic would that be? 
 
Then why am I still breathing? Why, with the tools around me, don’t I just make all the pain stop?
 
Why are human emotions so ing complicated?
 
What am I hopeful for? Why deep down do I feel like I shouldn’t do this?
 
Why?
 
Why?
 
Why God dammit?
 
Why?
 
Could it be that there’s still a chance to be happy?
 
Could it be that I’m hopeful that my happiness can return?
 
Is that it?
 
Am I being an optimist?
 
Am I being an idiot? 
 
Should I stop questioning it?
 
You know what?
 
it.
 
I don’t want to kill myself tonight.
 
I don’t care why.
 
I don’t care if later I do want to do it or if I don’t ever think about it again.
 
I just don’t want to.
 
I’m here and until I’m not, I’m just going to keep up with the rotation of the earth.
 
I may not be happy, but who the hell knows? Maybe one day I will be.
 
Maybe one day I’ll be the Min I was before. 
 
That'd be nice. 
 
See, Min, it’s not that complicated when you stop making sense of it all.
 
It is what it is after all.
 
You survived the earthquake now take on the aftershocks.

Foreword

Characters

 Min
Gearing up for her long awaited comeback, Min has left her mark in the music industry. Known for her powerful dancing and meaningful songs, she strived as not only a teen sensation, but a successful artist. Though after her 4 year hiatus spent furthering her education, Min is excited to return to promoting and standing on stage. The main single is ready, the MV is almost finished and her album just needs a few more adjustments. Everything was going swimmingly. 
 
But in one night, her world came crashing down and who she was before becomes a complete stranger. Now instead of planning her return, she is determined to find herself again.  

 Junior
Junior is a member of JYP Entertainment’s new boy group, Got7. It has been almost 2 years since he began his journey in the boy group world, but 4 since he made a debut in the entertainment world. He is determined and strictly focused on his future and the future of his group members that any distraction that comes his way is easily brushed off. 
 
That is, until he meets Min. Like everyone else he was completely star struck upon meeting the celebrity, but slowly he starts to fall in love with the real her and though his career and future can suffer from it, he is making no effort to get over her. 

Joon

Joon is an ambitious business man in the making. He has a massive respect for his father and works hard to make him proud. He has known Min since they were young, but they didn’t become close until he finished college and returned to the states. In the time he has been at the company, he and Min have been slowly getting to know each other, going on a couple of dates, but unable to get into a steady relationship because of their constant work. 
 
After Min’s tragedy though, Joon realizes he could lose her completely and is ready to fight to get her back.  

Author's Note
In this story, Min is a sucessful soloist, Joon works in her father's entertainment company and Junior is still Junior from Got7. Of course just because I've kept Junior's occupation, doesn't mean that everything I write about him is real. (No duh right?) Min's "songs" mentioned in the story will be by other artist, but this is all fiction, so we'll pretend they're written by her okay? Okay! While it might have some lighter moments, this story will be a pretty emotional one. So what did you guys think? Please comment with what your thoughts and what you're looking forward to!

Chapter 5: Genius! I absolutely loved the way you nailed their real life selves. Yugyeom for example, was always shy with girls, especially Min but is a little more sensitive and considerate towards others feelings. BamBam is freaking hilarious and is shamelessly in love and has zero filter because he's so clueless. JB and Mark were probably the best, you and I noted the looks they were giving Min and Junior in the Dream Knight cast thing and I could tell you used that as inspiration for when JB and Mark are the only two to pick up what's going on between Jr and Min. Jackson is so fun and outgoing, and he has that "american" mentality so skinship and not using formalities isn't a big thing to him. Junior's overprotectivness and posessivness translates so freaking well into this story. time and time again we've seen his jealousy come to play. And then... am I going crazy or was there no Youngjae?

I hope their development in the story, now that they live with her, mirrors how they are so open with her now. Mark is so much more outgoing and talkative. Yugyeom and Youngjae are both not afraid to show skinship with Min and hoot and holler at her. BamBam, JB, Jackson and Junior are also a lot more expressive and hands on with Min as well.

Loved the two POV's between Junior and Min. I like how despite himself Jr is pretty much aware of his feelings for Min, while Min is a little more apprehensive because of her issues. The situation with Joon is going to prove to be a very awkward and difficult one for her, Jr and even the other members. I honestly hope that the boys, as a whole, becomes exactly what Min needs to heal. I'm sure each member, in their own way, will find a place in her heart as people that she's able to trust, rely on and confide in.

Ugh! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

Chapter 4: Ive finally had the chance to really read this through and comprehend the story and i really feel for it. Min's pain, her mental breakdowns, her emotions, everything is so raw. I applaud you for not trying to romanticize it and for not prettying it up. It seems almost real and I had to check myself that this is only fiction haha. Great job! Cant wait to see what happens next

Chapter 4: Poor Minnie. So nice to see how Gsoul and Min's friendship was translated here. You nailed it. I also enjoyed learning a little bit more about what happened rather than just putting the information together through context clues. I loved the insight into Junior's thoughts and how he sees Min, I'm so excited to read more about their development. He is exactly what she needs right now and I hope that she can allow him in.

Ugh, great job!!!!! Loved it as always! <3<3<3
