when my world no longer stops for you

Description

jungkook and jimin were the best of friends, but things changed as they moved into senior high, and jimin self-destructs about a thousand times over before moving on. full story of prelude: two years can be a lot of things.

Foreword

"My name is Jimin, I use to call you jeon, but hey Jungkook, how's life so far?"

 

Welcome to the full story of prelude: two years can be a lot of things. You are strongly recommended to read it first before proceeding so as to better make sense of the rest of the story.  (Okay nevermind I uploaded prelude here as well lmao)

 

I started this story in late 2015, uploaded somewhere in 2016, and I aim to complete this before 2017 ends (my previous pledge of completing this by 2016 has failed so let's see how this one holds up lol). It will have 19 chapters, one prelude, one intro and one epilogue. Poster credits to Moonhavens, I actually received a background as well but I'm stupid and don't know how to add it in???

 

The story is set in Singapore, in "Bangtan High School" (I think locals may kind of guessed my school lol). Majority of the students are enrolled under the 6-years Integrated Program, so they spend 4 years in secondary school (Junior High) and move onto 2 years of junior college (Senior High). I didn't go with the Korean education system since I am not familiar with how it works, and fundamentally this is a really personal work so I want to keep it as real as possible. Students go through years 1 to 6, which corresponds with grades 7 to 12 for some readers I guess. Singapore is summer throughout. If there's any more context-related stuff I'll 

 

Jimin met Jungkook in Y3. As you can see from the prelude, they are crazy close between Y3&4. When My World No Longer Stops For You is about how they distanced in Y5&6, and then drags on to how their story continued after they graduated. There are many side characters in here, including all other BTS members. All characters were chosen with relative care, and when I complete this story I will have a long A/N to discuss that.

 

More will be cleared up as you read, I'm not one who likes to dish out spoilers. Be your own judge, stranger. This is the story of Park Jimin, it's a little long, do be patient. At the end of the day, leave me a comment, and let me know how you think. I hope this will not be a journey that disappoints you.

Ok I have (mostly) beta-ed all chapters including beeping out the 'fck' and 'sht' since I literally just realised that AFF has an issue with those words lol. Let me know if you spot any errors!

Chapter 23: You are the first author which made me addicted or fall for your A/N like dude ....Its sorta compulsory for me read everytime xD

Also You one of my fav author!
Kudos !
Sorry for long comment but here it goes...

Wow this is based on real life ! Wow I am impressed it must have been difficult for you to recall all that.
I remember ending up badly with a friend from a trio (we had a group but this trio was like a sub group.) ....not so badly but we don't know why we started to hate each other in sort of way.....I don't talk to her a lot anymore.
She sort of confessed that she used to get insecure by my presence since I had a strong vibe naturally attracting people.

But my other bff (like Tae in this story) from my trio is still with me , Its much more better now.
We were separated when I changed my school after migrating.
..... It was like my whole life came crashing down since they were centre of my world.
....I recall closing myself in , but initially meeting new people made me feel better or else I would have remained a shadow under one of my brightest friendd.....like a package added everywhere.
Like a side kick....how I hate recalling that T_T
Her insecurities about us ( me- jimin , Tae friend of mine) that we may overshine her made ....her do lot of stuff to us like she never considered us in anything imp.... I don't wanna recall or say stuff she actually did.


In past I used to repeatedly forgive her (that friend from my trio who I ended up badly with is like Kyungsoo)
And whenever I tried to talk it out she behaved as if me being away/hurt/sad doesn't matter to her at all.... It was a abusive friendship for all these years (4yrs) before I moved out .
I don't think she regret anything yet , but I don't want to do anything with her anymore.
Its like ...I am glad I moved out .xD

This story Actually was sort of reflection to my life too...
This story helped me to understand that , all these important things we tend to forget in casual relationships plays a major role to maintain any friendship.
Reading this story is probably the best thing I ever did ,It made me feel better about myself and sort of helped me move on for digesting the truth.... that sometime who claims "You are most special" aren't always telling the truth.
And how careful we should be in making new friends .
+
Jimin is the most relatable person to me in BTS since our personality traits match surprisingly a lot.

HEY
I am so so so so glad that you wrote this story and how in the end described everyone .... It was beautiful .

I have few questions....like the letters you used to share between the chapters are those from you real life.
Also what would you do if any of your friend who you wrote about , find this story out >_< hehe

P.S:- I wanna lowkey tell my whole Trio story to you ;-; I dunno why *cough*

Chapter 23: I've read the A/N to the very end and I must say I don't regret it hahah. thanks to the A/N, the explanations give me in-depth acknowledgement of the story, the back-side (?) of each characters, how they even more relate to you, etc. I'm excited about the side-stories
(?) you mentioned here, can't wait to read them! ^^

Chapter 22: To be honest, this story has moved me, made tears rolling on my face, made my chest felt constricted, become so relatable to my experience, opened my perspective about things I've never wondered /that/ deep, and it has done many other things that concluded to one thing: 'when my world no longer stops for you' has changed my life, in one way or another.

So here's me, offering my gratitude to you for sharing the beautiful pieces of your lifeㅡthe struggles, the emotions, the thoughts, just- everythingㅡby writing and posting this story. I've been enjoying this story so much, I apologize for not showing up often. I'll keep supporting you, author!
