Malicious Eyes

A Farewell

To Kim Jonghyun,
You were so kind to us, Jonghyun. Yet we were so unkind to you. We didn't appreciate you enough. Your childhood was not perfect, you trained all your life to show your perfect side on your stage, yet our malicious eyes chose only to see the imperfections you carried. I loved you from top to bottom, you were the soul of SHINee, the ever crying kid when receiving awards on stage. We condemned you for the slightest of your actions, I never saw through the smile you wear most often. If I were a friend of yours, I wouldn't have left you alone like that Jonghyun-ah, because I know how it feels to be all by ourselves. I began to live independently and the whole credit goes to SHINee's music. I never will get your problem - a problem is a problem, doesn't matter if it was big or small. You survived, worked hard with tears, appreciated your members and showed dedication in your work. But you let some inconsiderate words get you. You were sleepless all night while we were asleep and you suffered for our joy. You were helpless when we thought you were happy. You got chased by yourself and in the end, your own hands took your life. In the meanwhile, you made us some beautiful memories to look back and wonder if you really were happy. Whatever your problem might me, suicide is not the solution. You are too pure for this earth and maybe that is why you decided to leave us. You left us in the middle just like that. You physically ended everything, my love. YOU DID WELL, YOU DID GREAT, YOU WERE AWESOME, YOU WERE BRAVE, YOU WERE SWEET, YOU WERE PERFECT, KIM JONGHYUN. I mean everything I said.
It's too early for you to settle down in heavens, so go there, say hello to angels, shine as a star for a while and come back to this earth, where you feel is the safest for you, and land in the lap of a beautiful family, good friends and non- judging, stress less society. This birth, was so short for you, next one will be the longest and best one for you. Fall in love and be loved. World was cruel to you and now, you made us sad by bidding farewell.
This is not farewell Jonghyun, this is not. Good bye is not for you Jonghyun. You have some business left, you have some happiness left over, come and enjoy it asap. With the power of all the love and dharma in this world, may you come back and live the life you wanted.
Meanwhile, you will live in our hearts as a smiling Jonghyun who liked puppies and SHINee. We won't say good bye, but I wish you rest in peace, for a while.
We will carry your burden, we will cry, we will feel guilty for not seeing you.....one day, we will learn to accept that you won't be here with us anytime soon.
Come back, Jonghyun-ah.
Sincerely.

Trying to advertise this for the 18th but someone else is bidding really hard so I am running out of karma (already bought more for over 30dollars) so if you have some spare you are willing to donate, I would be really thankful.

I'm aware that it isn't December but I just thought of this post. December will never be easy for a lot of us. I'm more aware of my depression around that time. I just became an adult and the realization that a lot can change has finally hit me. I'm not sure how to feel. People within my family have died or are dying and it seems like the only thing I'm allowed to do is move on. I'm no longer given the luxury of grieving the way I had with Jonghyun. There are so many fond memories that I can go back to with Jjong but for them I only have memories. So much has happened these past few years and while I'm not completely okay I can say there's plenty of room where I've healed.

As year 6 approaches I want my fellow Shawols to know that healing is hardly a linear task. It's okay to not be ready but where you are there's always going to be SHINee.

And Dear Author thank you for keeping this space for all of us.

It’s been five years today and just a few days ago I turned 27, the age Jonghyun-ah was when we had to say goodbye to him. I have long since had to “become an adult” and learn what growing up means; yet every year I come back to this little space, and read some of the messages that people wrote for him, and think back to the letter I wrote at 22 and never shared with anyone. I think back to a memory of me looking at the full moon and talking to him for hours, telling him I missed him terribly. We still miss you, friend. I still remember you fondly. I still remember me at 17 dancing to Replay in my room. I’ll always cherish those memories of our Spring.



Author, I hope you have been doing well. Thank you so much for keeping this space running for so long, it brings comfort to some more than you’ll ever know.

Chapter 818: I just really paid attention to SHINee this August. Yet, when Jonghyun passed away four years ago, I felt sad that another beautiful and caring person chose to leave this place. In fact, I didn't want to listen to any SHINee songs then.
Now, watching SHINee's MVs, I feel like I have accepted what happened and hope that he is really happy now.

Time keeps moving on and I wonder why I can't just go back and fix things to when it was so peaceful. So much has happened in the last four years and it feels as though there's only SHINee left to comfort me. Jonghyun for so long I've written my letters to you and I couldn't this year because I couldn't find the strength or will to when I was feeling down. I haven't cried this much since I was a baby. I promised last year that I would tread the new year with caution and that didn't work out so great. There's more I wanna say but I just wish you knew how much I love you. Thank you for being born and sharing your light with the world. Sincerely I love you. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 ❤️

It’s been 4 years now and so it’s hard to believe that you left us, but I still do remember you as SHINee’s Blingbling Angel and as the brightest star that shines in the sky.

I used to feel so lonely after knowing that you left us, that I was listening to Lonely everyday for about a year, but now I just remind myself that you’re still with us, as the bright shining star watching over us from the night sky. ❤️
I will always love you.
