Description

After losing her sight to a disease, Sunhee finds refuge in her long-time passion—baking. It is a quiet life, working for her aunt’s bakery. Then comes along Junmyeon. It starts out as a simple order of brownies, but the next thing Sunhee knows, her aunt is describing to her how a handsome man seems to have eyes on her.

This leaves Sunhee unfazed at first, for years of blindness has left her in a bleak world where beauty is virtually nonexistent and nearly irrelevant. She’s hesitant to allow people to get close, and she’s constantly cynical and bitter. Much of her time is spent in her room where she listens to the hundreds of audiobooks she owns. As far as she’s concerned, the only beautiful things in her world are the words by her favorite authors.

But there are some things in the world, apparently (according to the Junmyeon, the persistent and allegedly handsome), that don’t need to be seen. After all, beauty is not a construct defined only by sight. It can be smelled, heard, or…touched.

Notes

So…this was supposed to be a paragraph long exercise for a class, but since I’m extra, I had to make it a full-blown story.

Originally, this was supposed to be with Baekhyun, but there aren’t enough stories with my man Junmyeon? Seriously, what’s up with that? He deserves more love, and this is my way of showing that. I’m so cheesy, sorry.

Anyways, this story is going to be a few chapters (below 10), and it will be mostly filled with fluff and overall cuteness. This was mostly a challenge, and I love challenges, so here goes.

I hope you guys enjoy!

I remember reading this years ago… and now I’m rereading. It feels like one of the studio ghibli movies you know… all the softness and world building where each movement is felt? And your writing always amaze me
This story is so soft🥺❤️

Its been a while since I read this but I just wanted to comment on how beautiful this story is. Not only does it feature one of the less written about members, but it also touches on a more realistic relationship. From the first chapter, I fell in love with the characters and the setting of the story. Thank you for writing something so breathtaking ❤

Chapter 7: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is so freaking beautiful, fgs. I swear it’s so beautiful that it could be showed in the museum.

Despite their relationship, I LOVE LOVE that you do not left the other ones behind. The way you always give us what was going on in their life, how was Joanne love life, how Jongdae getting voice lesson and getting one step closer to his dream, how Sehun saved up and working his off for a revenge, how she developed her friendship with Sehun or how Sehun need to talk with Jongdae due to his complain. These detail I LOVE IT ALL.

Thank you for amazing story as always ❤️❤️❤️

Chapter 5: I confess that I cracked at girl running to Jongdae asking for contour tip lol

but wow , that 'i'm blind and I can still see you shine' T---T you know what, I think the most adorable thing in this chapter is Junmyeon "still" explain to her how thing is going, including his blushing.

The friendship between those thee are also beautiful TT I hope everyone got friends like this ♥

Chapter 1: WOW 😯 I regret that I come here so late.

Ok, this is my super first time reading the story that the main character is blind. I love that the idea is not what we can easily find, and her character is not in the dark mode. She is being.. accept(?) and positive with a tint of sarcasm that give her character more color and that is really amazing. Even we could not “see” Junmyeon (of course how could we, it’s her point of feeling - pof) i literally feel his struggle to make a conversation with the pretty cashier he found a t the bakery 😭 gosh, isn’t that cute?
