Description

The conversation that follows Jonghyun’s funeral service.

Foreword

This is a piece I decided to write, because it just kept nagging at me. It might be really hard to read, because it portrays the moment right after Jonghyun’s funeral service.

This is intense, so if you feel like you can't read it, don't. TW for : Jjong’s death, the members’ grief, mentions of suicide.

this is so sad and real. I like the way you write this story.
I just wish you'd make more chapters... I can't see taemin being angry to onew just like that :(

Chapter 1: I like this story and how you express their despair and feelings in general. It's heartbreaking but unfortunately this is the reality. Thank you for everything you have done. I'm sorry that I haven't sent you a comment before even If I have read it in December or in January (I can't remember) but I wasn't ready to write a comment at that moment. Now I have just read it a second time and I'm relieved even if I'm still hurting. It could be weird but it helps me to cope in a way. Thank you for sharing this story it means a lot.

Chapter 1: This is the reality of depression and suicide. Some of us leave sooner because living is far worse than dying. Because, as Jonghyun said in his letter, we can't turn the sadness into joy.

This is also the reality of those who are left to pick up the peices. They can simply fall apart like Kibum. They can get angry in their greif and confusion like Taemin. They can try to stay strong for others in spite of their own raw emotion like Minho. They can feel guilt, shame and heavy like Jinki.

Depression, real clinical depression is often misunderstood, misinterpreted and misrepresented. This story did none of that.

I'm releived reading this tbh, because it's honest and real. It's some of the things people often deny or reject. Thank you for writing this, and thank you for sharing

Chapter 1: i'm starting to gradually grow curious if these comments are blind or don't seem to understand this story... I feel like this story shouldn't have ever been made and my reason is mainly because you know it'd hurt most people and also because you made taemin look like a bad person and everyone look calm and mature. Now some of us have to continue to imagine it and now i have to look at team and imagine this all because of the way you made him look in this story and i know its fake but this was the cherry on top of everything and i just want to know what your point of view it was to even bother making this.. and i know you have read my comment so don't just pass it up

Chapter 1: Uhh I'm crying... I hope they're doing well and comforting each other. No one to blame and hope them to be stronger

Chapter 1: This was sad even though it's a good read. I REALLY hope they weren't fighting when they were alone but sharing happy memories or just comforting each other.

Unfortunately, there are times where people blame one another for not knowing what was going on just to get their anger out about the death of a loved one.

I also hope that the members remember him from the good times they all had together.
