Capture the moment

Description

A strange encounter and a few months later, Minseok meets the man that inspired him to pick up a photo camera again.

Foreword

I wrote this as a oneshot in 2016 after reading this tumblr post, but the idea transformed into a long drawn out story. It's a bit of a mess, but I am awful at keeping my stories short but I also don't want to expand on this idea more. So please enjoy!

Warning: Jongdae has persistent depressive disorder. I am no medical expert and only wrote from the research I've done online, so circumstances may not apply or be falsely represented. 

Pairing: Xiuchen, brief Baekyeol mention

Thank you EvyLisan for beta-reading my story and providing more information on Jongdae's condition.

Chapter 5: I hope finding this comment in the year 2021 (years after you've written this story) won't weird you out. But I just want to say I am absolutely speechless with your work. I love this so much, the way you framed Minseok’s and Jongdae's perspective was done really well. And I really like that you added Jongdae's POV in here. It really helped me grasp his problems and struggles better, and along the way you made me root for him, so that he can persevere and live. The way you paced the growth of their relationship was really great too, I found comfort that they had each other, and they made things work.

Thank you for using your brilliant talent and shedding a better light to the mental issues that people face. What a masterpiece. Thank you for writing.

Chapter 5: This was amazing... the detail you put into this, and how they didn't kid themselves... minseok was understanding, and jongdae didn't try to hide it. They were straight forward in their feelings, and whatever they thought.
Minseok made him feel things that jongdae never that he could. Even the part, it amazed him because he didn't even think he could feel that way, but he did...
Minseok helped him, was understanding that he would need time, that they both would. That it easy okay for jongdae to feel like that, that he would be there to help pick him back up when needed...
I liked that
Very well written and definitely a reread er.
