Gezelligheid [ɣɘ.'zɛl.ɪɣ.hɛɪt]

a Dutch word which can be translated as convivial, cozy, fun, or nice atmosphere;  belongingness, time spent with loved ones, the fact of seeing a friend after a long absence, or the general togetherness that gives people a warm feeling; the coziness, warmth and comfort of being at home, or being together with friends or loved ones sharing time in a pleasant and nice atmosphere.

 

 


 

 

Opening the cabinet, there are papers filled with messy scribbling of words I used in class to talk with my friends in class when I was in highschool stacked in a box, there are also notebooks that I used to write down formulas for math, physics, and chemistry, some notebooks where my girl friends ranted out about their crushes when I was in junior highschool, some pictures of my school days, some trinkets, keepsakes, and deep hidden inside the cabinet is my diaries. My most precious possession that hold the stupidity in my past. Those that I promised to myself to burn before I die.

Dreading to turn back the time and reliving the days, I reach out and take the most familiar blue peter bunny rabbit notebook, the last diary I wrote. I put so much effort to make it memorable, sticking photos, movie tickets, theme park tickets, diner bills, eveything that I thought I should remember forever. My most precious scrapbook. The notebook is filled with my days as a highschool kid with Sehun and Jongin in the picture.

 

 


 

 

It’s not a walk in the park

To love each other

But when our fingers interlock,

Can’t deny, can’t deny you’re worth it

‘cause after all this time I’m still into you.

- Still Into You by Paramore -

 

 

 

Foreword

 

helloooo~  it feels so good to escape writing my on going story and try a shorter one, but also nerve-wracking because i'm at writing one shot. i hope it's not confusing.. those grammar and typo thing, gosh. i think this is the first time i joined any contests, and i'm super nervous. not because for the win, but well, it's a contest and this will be judged. i hope i'm not embarassing myself hehehe.

Chapter 2: istg i hate this ‘unrequited love & too scared to confess’ feelings so much, like it’s just too damn frustrating both irl and fictions. TvT and that yoori girl... i wanna throw a punch so bad because i also encountered the same kind of person.

Chapter 2: Chapter 1: I don’t know what to say anymore. I love this fic and I hate it in the same time, because Sehun was such a big wuss here! He should have confessed to her long time ago. Poor girl with her loyalty and her unrequited first love, though they finally ended up together. I don’t know if this happens to me, would I still be single forever like her? Maybe loneliness will eat me up.
This story reminds me of the song by The Script - The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. I cried every time I listened to this song, it remind me of my ex.
Anyway, this story was beautiful and bittersweet, though it took 10 years to bloom. And it made me cry too.
Thanks for your great work!

Chapter 2: This had me so frustrated!!!!! This has happened to me before but I was unlike OC, I didn't wait, but instead moved on. Which is probably why I got so "ughhh" while reading the story.

I am assuming that you're not a native speaker of English but I am very amazed by how coherent and understandable the entire one shot was. There were grammar mistakes but other than that, everything was easy to understand. I just thought that t was also a little unrealistic that OC always had men confessing to her, but that's just my opinion. Haha. I'm also very glad that you decided to participate despite English not being your first language (I know some people wouldn't want to write, especially for a contest, because of their insecurity in the language department) so i'm really proud of you! The flow and development of the story was also at a good pace. Overall, you did really well for a non-native speaker!

Thank you for joining Blossom Roads!! I hope you learnt something out of this and also feel more motivated and inspired to keep writing. It is always a pleasure to watch authors grow and improve in their writing ☺ good luck in your future stories and I really hope you had fun writing this!

xoxo
