A Note

I Can't Help But Love You
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

I wrote this without any plans at all to publish it. A story that I'd come across online had inspired me to write this, and I was planning on leaving it at just that. This was originally an assignment that I did for my Creative Writing class, and the rules for it had been to write out a complete story in ten pages or less. I wrote it out, had to shrink the font a little bit, edited it, and turned it in. 

I wasn't sure how I felt about this work. It felt a little too cheesy at times, a questionable plot. But, at the time, it reflected where I was in life and how I felt about the things that were going on around me. 

This work I publish as a way of celebrating. I'm celebrating my two year anniversary being on here, my first story on this site reaching 1000 subscribers, 3000 subscribers in total, my writing improving a lot over the years, and many more things. 

It's funny really, how I believe that these oneshots that I publish seem to be better than the full length stories that I post. Nonetheless, I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to do what I love; writing. Thank you readers for supporting me and giving me the chance to share what I love with you.

Chapter 1: This was sad and nice at the same time. Tao was just existing, not living. Playing the piano just because he could do it perfectly but didn't enjoy it. He didn't have desires or expectations from life. It is ironic that a demon saves him, saved his soul and heart. This was beautiful.

Chapter 1: This was such a special story. The characters were not the usual "tao and gucci" "kris the badass" "sehun the y dancer" kind of personages but really well made story characters.
I really loved every single moment. Hands down this is one of the best i read in quite a while.
Plus i love how you were writing about them dancing. It was beautifully made.

Chapter 1: Maybe it is a little cheesy here and there, but it's nice. Love is a strange thing. It's willing self sacrifice for another's sake. Glad you decided to post this story, I was glad to read it.

My only problem is that the names aren't consistent and it threw me off. I assume you just replaced your original characters with Exo members' names. It'd be good to fix that.

Chapter 2: I read this a long time ago. When it was just posted but never got to comment then. I just want to say that it was such a great story and it thought me lessons too. Like when Kris told Tao to live his life for himself for once and tell Sehun about his feelings. I feel like I should do the same. Even if there is no hope, even if only rejection and pain awaits, being truthful and letting out all your worries and burden is still the best thing to do because it will give you relief and peace of mind.

Lastly when Zitao said that being in love is beautiful in itself even if his was one sided. And that he will never wish to separate Sehun and the girl because they were happy together. That hit me hard. Tao in here was such a great person. I don't think I would ever have the courage to do what he did.

I am just happy that in the end he and Kris fell in love, got married and have a happy life together. I am a little sad though that Tao died but Kris will never die because he is a demon. It must be hard. He will have an infinite time on this world. Just watching people come and go.

Chapter 2: Omg. I don’t know what I went in expecting but my eyes being a bit misty at the end was not. I felt sorry for Tao but then happy cause he lived and found love. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work. I’m not even a Taoris shipper but this worked so well.

Chapter 1: This is so beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful gift writer-nim

*Ps. I noticed that there are some parts where Tao's name still says Anthony, tbh I dunno if it's just because I'm half asleep or what lol*
