Downing Today, Drowning Tomorrow

themedicalscholar: Hello guys how have you been doing? I have been having cramps all day but now I thought, I should write another chapter before I head to sleep since it's almost 12. But I thought that the previous chapter was nice. I hope you guys vote, subscribe and not to mention, comment because I love reading it, please give me that satisfaction. Much love xox. Oh yeah, and I thought they lacked some young love, so I threw in a scene that made my heart kind of warm, I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. 

Song Ji Hyo smiled when he gave her so much credit. To him, she was like art; almost too similar. Abstract, divine and such a pleasure to look at. 

She pushed her hair back, tucking it behind her ears. 'Kwang Soo-ya, you give me so much credit when I haven't done anything for you.' She says, somehow saddened by the fact that she could not feel for him as much as he did. After all, those who loves more, the deeper the wounds would be. And she has had a lot of wounds. 

She examined more of her work. Most of the art he does was well thought and balanced. 

'You really like painting, don't you?' She asks, smiling at him. That's unfair, noona, he says to himself; don't smile at me like that. 

'I like it. It calms me. But I haven't painted in a really long time, been busy.' 

She laughs. 'Of course, Lee Kwang Soo, the big shot nowadays. I have seen you so much; almost everywhere. On the internet, tabloids, spreads on magazines. You're surpassing me, you could have been my sunbae.' She jokes around. 

'Aish, noona, what are you saying? You're well loved, people love you everywhere.' He says, looking at her squatting while examining his paintings. It was the first time he had ever shown it to anyone; and he's like that it's her. 

'What we're doing, Kwang Soo-ya; Running Man, acting, modelling, that's a form of art too isn't it?' She rested her head on her knees while still, her eyes haven't left his collection. 

'Of course it is noona, and it's more you than me.' He says. 

'What does that supposed to mean?' She asks, chuckling. 

He doesn't answer. But to him, it meant that his noona is beautiful. To him, she shines better than anyone he knows. Like stars, beautiful like diamonds but still so far away that he couldn't reach it. She acts, she models, everything she does is just beautiful to him. Looking at her spreads on magazines, made him want her even more. And it wasn't like he wanted to own her. He wanted to know more off, wanted to know what she is thinking even if she appears to be blanks. Like paintings, he wanted to know what colour she was made of. But he knew, if he was aware, he thought he wouldn't deserve her. 

'What are you thinking about, Kwang Soo-ya?' He finally realized that he was in a daze, off to another land when the real thing, his noona, was in front of him. From squatting and examining the paintings, she was already standing. 

He turned red, since he never thought that his imagination would stray elsewhere. 

'Nothing, noona, I wasn't thinking about anything.' He scratched the back of his head. 

'What do you mean nothing, you're red like a tomato.' She says.

That made him redden even more. He avoided eye contact with her. And abruptly, he asked. 'Noona, do you want to watch a movie?'

'What do you want to watch, noona?' He asked her while he reviewed his collection. 'What's your favorite genre?' He asks. 

'Horror. Or thriller.' She says 'I don't know, Kwang Soo, just pick something.' She says. 

'Noona, I'm not really good with neither with it.' He picks something, it 'My Ordinary Love Story' starring Kang Ye Won and Song Sae-byok. He lifted the CD up, then she nods approving of his choice. He installs it inside of his DVD player, then moves to the sofa next to her. But it seems like he forgot something, he went back to his bedroom, leaving Song Ji Hyo on her own. That made her puzzled, but he came back with a blanket and pillow. He rests it next to her, giving her an option to use it or not. He sat back, leaving a few spaces between them. But she silently, boldly pressed her body next to him. 

He could feel his heart dropping to his stomach. The story started, and he was getting more and more restless. Song Ji Hyo casually watched the movie, she felt safer than she usually is. Being with him, felt like home. And his home, made it feel like it's hers also. She left his shoulder, then took the blanket. She draped it around the both of them without even speaking. She took the pillow and hugged it, but still leaning on him. 

If he doesn't make a move now, everything would just be to waste. Slowly, he moved his hand and finally draped around her. He was waiting for her to say no, or shove him away, but she didn't. What she did was went closer, and rested on his chest. 

Lee Kwang Soo finally realized, his noona was not kidding. And he was in heaven. Heaven, was having his noona in his arms. He was getting so red, he looked like beetroot. Both of their eyes were still fixated on the screen, but they weren't thinking about it, they were thinking about each other. 

Song Ji Hyo couldn't imagine that he was the one whom she felt the most comfortable with. Naturally, even her heart felt like it was going to leave her chest. 

If this isn't love, I don't know what is. She says to herself.

Chapter 111: I just finished reading this, but I can’t really decide if I liked it or not. I guess the events leading to the ending (after Chapter 95) was/is not my cup of tea, it kind of made me upset in a way since I love KwangMong, that’s why. But other than that, I loved your writing. KwangMong has been my ship, so thank you for this story :)

Chapter 5: Another great chapter.

I like how Kwang Soo is very caring towards Ji Hyo.
I also liked the way he stumbled when Ji Hyo asked the innocent question, "Did you sleep okay?" It was kinda endearing.

Although at the end of the chapter, I ended up feeling a little sorry for Ji Hyo. Yes, she was partly to blame for encouraging Kwang Soo to drink, but she had to be the one comforting him.

I kinda felt both characters cared deeply about the other. With Ji Hyo fixing him breakfast and then comforting him and with Kwang Soo apologising even though it was not entirely his fault for what happened the night before. And I like that you had him behave timidly. It feels like you are setting us up that he cares very deeply for her. If not he wouldn't be so afraid of shaking the status quo.

I'm so looking forward to find out what happens to them! I've upvoted and subscribed. You have yourself a fan!

Chapter 4: I can't believe I never read this story before. I chanced upon your story while browsing the kwangmong tag and I'm sure glad I did. I think your your style of writing is very unique and I'm really kinda enjoying the short chapters.

Although I'm only four chapters in, I'm hooked and I can't wait to find out what happens next! Now off I go to read the rest of the story!

Hey, I have to admit I was a silent reader to this and was pleasantly surprised when you updated and completed it! I just love your style of writing, it really captured my attention to the point where I binge read the first 50 chapters then realised that it was unhealthy hahaha.
It was such a roller coaster for both Ji Hyo and Kwang Soo, I had always thought that their relationship was moving so fast that it would hurtle of the tracks. It was such a bitter sweet open ending which leaves me hoping for something more. Overall the whole story was so realistic which I found captivating, it showed not only highs of a relationship but also the lows.
So thanks for sharing this. I can't wait for you next idea. I look forward to reading it.
