Killing Me Softly

Description

The human body is amazing. It does everything to keep you alive, even when you don't want to be. 

Roughly based on the Korean drama 'It's Okay, That's Love', Solar is a rising actress who has become reknown for her ability to sink into any role. However, there's a reason for that. Wheein, her manager, knows of Solar's troubles and she does her best to help her. Soliciting Moonbyul's aid, a qualified psychiatrist, they do their best to save Solar from herself, even if she doesn't know it. 

Foreword

After having some free time, before I start work in August, I decided to attempt this project after the pretty good response to my other MAMAMOO one-shots. I'm not sure how long the story is going to be, or how frequent my updates will be, but hopefully it will be completed within 2 months.The characters may also be a but OOC since it's set in an AU, so expect some characteristics of the MAMAMOO ladies that may not quite fit their bubbly public image. 

I've roughly based this story on 'It's Okay, That's Love' because it is seriously an under-rated drama. It's still one of my favourite K-dramas after watching it a couple of years ago. I love how they address mental illness, even if it was a bit exaggerated (I'm going to be doing the same), because there definitely is a stigma.  If you haven't already seen it, then please do. There may also be elements of, even though I haven't seen it yet, 'Kill Me, Heal Me' (it's on my to-watch list). I know elements of the plot, so there may be some similarities. Apologies in advance. Furthermore, I am no expert on mental health. I've got some knowledge into psychology and mental illness, but I have needed to do some research for specific conditions. If there are some facts that are incorrect or things that don't make sense, please feel free to comment and I'll to my best to amend/explain them. I'll also most likely be constantly editing since I notice I make a lot of mistake, so if you spot them too, feel free to let me know. 

This story contains mentions of abuse, death, suicide, psychiatric disorders, and other sensitive subjects, so if that makes you uncomfortable, please don't read on. You have been warned. 

Finally, I hope you guys enjoy! Even though it may be angsty and serious, I hope you like the story :D 

 

And thank you to the beautiful TixaFofi for making the stunning cover for this story! She's now my bae (whether she knows it or not) and you guys should definitely check out her stories because she's a wonderful human being :D

Chapter 18: This story has so much going on. I find myself guessing whose past is being described by the bolded reminisce that starts off each chapter. Hoping you find time and motivation to continue this at some point
