Who I Am, Who I Am Not, Who I Wanna Be

Description

At twenty-two, Sunggyu was a lot of things ― a newly debuted idol, a leader, a man living his dreams.

At thirty-one, Sunggyu is no one.

 

Foreword

Written as a pinch-hit for Season 3 on LJ. Three prompts had to be incorporated in this fic - you can check the original link of the fic to find more about that.

This fic contains mentions of depression so if this is a trigger for you, I would highly recommand you to exit this page now.

Chapter 1: : I cried a river.. I cried in the middle of the night because of this.. and I read it in the worst possible time with infinite contract nearing their expiration and we still don't know what will happen ㅠㅠ but I will believe in them and let's run in along time together as infinite ot7 and inspirit ㅠㅠ

This story deserves all the positive feedback one can get.
It's incredibly well written, it's thought out and it's real. There's a certain heartache when reading this piece, it's just as if we're there with Sunggyu, experiencing everything - the doubts, questions, problems. I guess the worst part is that I can see the reality lying within it, how it can happen and how I wouldn't want it to happen. But it only makes this fanfic so much better, writing a Non-Au fanfic is tricky, difficult but you did it, yes, perfectly. Another thing I find - I'll use this word again - perfect is that it's GyuSoo, no other relationship but GyuSoo. They have such a beautiful bond, they're both so supportive of each other, their relationship is so pure, affectionate and innocent that actually, I believe Myungsoo would be the first one to welcome Sunggyu back.
Really, this is one of the best fanfics I have read in a while and for sure the best Non-Au one. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece <3

Chapter 1: oh this is a very very ery good INFINITE fic, I must say!
its very detailedly written...
No rush and even some facts are right!!
I'm not really understand about depression but watching all sorts of dramas, I know that it takes time and encouragement and support!!
This fic took in those facts! :)
And truth to be...... Hyung-Dongsaeng relationship between Sunggyu and Myungsoo is real! Guess only Inspirits will know this point..
I look forward to reading more of your fic in the near future! :)
