The Bridge of Life

Description

Chanwoo starts to take nightly walks to Mapo bridge without thinking about the meaning of the bridge, but when his Jinhwan hyung finds out, he jumps to the wrong conclusion and everyone freaks out.

Foreword

I promise you I'm not abandoning my Gangsta's Paradise story, but I'm having a major writer's block when it comes to that story so for that I'm taking a little break. In the meantime, I thought I'd update a small Chanwoo centric story with a little angst cause you now I love me some Chanwoo angst. It's non-romantic but I guess you can see it however you want.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Mapo bridge or 'The Bridge of Life', it's a bridge mainly known for its amounts of suicides, which is why everyone freaks out when they find out that's where Chanwoo's been going.

Seoul’s Mapo Bridge used to have the highest suicide rate among the many bridges in Seoul but now, along the bridge are white blocks with heartwarming phrases on them.

 

 (for example, this one)

 

If anyone is struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm or any other problem please do not hesitate to talk to someone, if you don't want to talk to a professional or someone in your family know that my inbox is always open. You can reach me here, or on my tumblr (parkingmychanyeol), please don't suffer in silence because you all deserve the world <3 <3

Chapter 2: This was brilliantly squeetastic. I can see where he was coming from though. A bridge where I live was known for all the suicides that took place there. Now there is a high fence all the way around. But it is very peaceful to walk across.

Chapter 2: I really enjoyed this fic. The idea that just because someone does something that is usually related to suicide doesn't mean that it's suicide is a good thing to bring up. I mean, that's how I got stuck in therapy. I had posted something, totally stupid over a fight, that had basically said that I was "tired" and "done" and next thing I know I'm on suicide watch. Whoops. But even so, I learned that having this type of talk with loved ones is both scary and somewhat shameful.. But also relieving and comforting. If that even makes sense?

Chapter 2: GAH. I love this! I really do. I love the idea and the way you've written it. I really appreciate that you showed the reaction of the other Ikon members. I thought it was so realistic and perfect. I love these stories you've written and I hope that you continue to write more!
