SEVENTEEN

The Impossible | CLOSED.

There’s one thing that Minho is looking forward to today and that is seeing Sulli again. It hasn’t been  24 hours since he last seen her but it feels like literal years to Minho. Call him whipped or what not but for the better part of his life now,  she has been a constant fix and it feels a little weird not seeing her.

 

So Minho might be a little dramatic when it comes to checking the time. Though the clock only seems to be mocking Minho with the hands slowly moving ( or not moving at all each time he looks ). It’s torture more than anything really. Time only seems to go slower when all Minho wants is for it to go faster.

 

It also doesn’t help that he’s been swamped with work all day — meetings after meetings and the copious amounts of paperwork to do — and though it isn’t something that Minho is used to , he still can’t wait to finally relax after a long day. Seeing Sulli again would definitely bring his energy back up. It’s all he’s looking forward to really.

 

Only three hours to go…

 

Three more long hours  until he can wrap his arms around Sulli. Minho can endure the long hours because at the end of it, there’s nothing sweeter than being able to press kisses all over her face and being intoxicated by her scent. He can practically feel it, sweetly indulging at the thought of it.

 

It makes him smile.

 

He can’t wait.

 

 


 

There’s certain times Minho where he is most thankful for his work efficiency, for being able to finish his work in a way where he still has time to do other things without worrying or stressing about work related things. That says a lot about now because he’s beyond thankful to have finished his work and still having time to do a few things before picking up Sulli for their date.

 

Thus, after leaving the company, Minho dropped by the closest flower shop to get the prettiest flowers to give to Sulli. Upon getting to the shop and entering, he was greeted by one of the workers - a sweet old lady  and was told if he needs any help, she’ll gladly give him a helping hand.

 

Taking the offer, the sweet old lady smiled and began to show him around the shop, telling him about certain flowers that she thinks would appeal to him but seeing that there’s no certain reaction coming from Minho, she proceeds to say.

 

“Are these flowers not what you are looking for? Are they not pretty enough? Fresh enough?”

 

Hearing this, his mouth forms a small a ‘o’. Had she been offended by not giving much of a reaction to the flowers she had been showing him? Minho had felt a little bit guilty for it. Should he have?

 

“No, they’re absolutely gorgeous. I’m sorry, I just don’t know what to get. They’re all pretty that i’m confused on which to get.”

 

“Well.. you do know that there’s each flower has a different meaning right. It seems like you’re getting these flowers for someone special right? The flowers I have been showing you are flowers of love, so to speak. Are they not appealing to you?”

 

“No, they are. I’m just a bit overwhelmed, I guess? And yes, I’m giving these to someone special. She’s a simple girl but her beauty is just...out of this world and her heart is so pure and it’s like gold. I guess i want to give her flowers that reflect that but also show her how much she means to me.”

 

The sweet old lady smiled again. “My dear, you are absolutely charmed. Ah, young love. It’s sweet isn’t it?”

 

Minho could smile because it’s true. It’s sweet to be loved.

 

“I think i know which flowers that would suit perfectly.” The sweet lady moves around the shop, grabbing certain flowers and fixing it into a pretty bouquet. As she fixes the bouquet, she mentions what each flower means - daisies for purity, stocks for beauty, sunflowers for adoration and lastly, roses for love.

 

The finish product of the bouquet was one of the prettiest flowers arrangements Minho has seen and it reminded him of Sulli, the most prettiest flower of them all. A smile is slapped across his face as he holds the bouquet in his hands before paying for it.

 

“I think your special lady would love these.”

 

“I hope so too.”

 

 


 

By the time he was done at the flower shop, it had been finally time to pick Sulli up. To say that Minho was giddy had to be an understatement. He was practically bouncing in his seat as drives to Sulli’s apartment to finally pick her up for their date.

 

TO: MY BABY 💘

 

7:02pm - I’m here, baby.

 

FROM: MY BABY 💘

 

7:03pm - Okay, I’m coming down now. (:

 

The moment Sulli emerges out from the lobby doors, Minho swears his life on how he lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. Call him dramatic or whatever but seeing Sulli again after not seeing her for hours has to be like a breath of fresh air again.

 

Minho takes the bouquet and opens his door, making his way towards her. Once Sulli has spotted him and they make eye contact, a smile began to spread across both of their faces and it felt like coming home.

 

“You know you didn’t have to get me flowers, you know.” Sulli says, after taking the flowers and getting a whiff of it’s scent. They were in the car now, on the way to wherever Minho has in mind for their date tonight. He may have his eyes on the road, Minho still manages to find Sulli’s hand and hold it, pressing a kiss on the back of it.

 

“I know I didn’t have to but I wanted to. And have you forgotten already? I’ve been giving you flowers every time we go out.” Minho replies, smirking slightly. Sulli could only sigh but there was a smile was dancing on her lips.

 

“Hmm, that’s why my apartment is slowly becoming a flower shop.” she teases, giggling just a bit.

 

The car ride went a little like that - teasing coming from the both of them to each other, fits of giggles and laughter and of course, small touches of intimacy. This is what Minho was waiting for all day and he couldn’t be happier to finally be basked  and indulged in it.

 

 


 

By now,  the sun has set already in the west. And so, outside is nothing but dark with only the street lights on and the night sky emitting their way.

 

For today’s date, Minho has managed to snag a last minute reservation at one of the restaurants that sits on top on a mountain, out looking the beauty of the sleepless night of Seoul. Getting this restaurant was quite the fest but Minho manages to get a spot with his few connections and his choice of words.

 

He picked this spot because well, the view is spectacular and he thinks Sulli would like - or maybe even love the view. Minho’s only is to only give her the best am that’s what Minho plans on doing. Giving her the best while trying to be at his best.

 

So seeing Sulli’s reaction once they’re seated, out in the outside part of the restaurant, outlooking the gorgeous view, had to be one of his favorite parts of today. Her jaw practically dropping as she takes in her surroundings. It felt fulfilling to Minho.

 

“It’s pretty, no?”

 

“Pretty? It’s ing gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. What the , how is this real?” Minho bursts in small fits of laughter after hearing Sulli curse, it was probably the cutest sight to see.

 

“I know. I ask myself that too. Absolutely stunning and gorgeous.” And while Sulli was looking at the view in utter awe, Minho said that while looking at Sulli as there’s nothing in this world that can top her beauty.

 

And he tells himself just how lucky he is.

 

 


 

a/n: lol this is my attempt into writing their date. It’s not the best, it’s also kinda  rushed as I wanted to get this out before Christmas as my way of saying thank you and giving you, the readers, a small gift for the holidays. But I’m sorry if the ending is a little abrupt :/ I wanted to write more and I was hoping to include a little bit of a spicy time but writing this has already been tough enough and I didn’t want to put that pressure on myself which in return would just give you something that wouldn’t be great, so I hope you understand. I’m not sure what I’ll do after this, I’m still debating on either continuing this scene or fast forward the timeline a little bit and include more of social media (aka twt) but yes, i hope that you all are liking that different idea that I put out. It was fun making it and I enjoyed doing so all is good. (:

 

But yes, I meant I have to post this yesterday before it was Christmas Eve but it wasn’t just coming to me but I still hoped that you enjoyed reading this!

 

Whether you celebrate Christmas or it’s a regular day for you, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May your days be filled with happiness and blessings! May you enjoy today as a holiday or any other regular day, but yes, I only wish you the best. Thank you for sticking around, through everything that has happened. I appreciate it endlessly.

 

Thank you! I hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

Chapter 28: On a bias point of view, I would love if you can continue to write Minsul specially this one which you have trying to rewrite.

I think if you are to honor Sulli in your writing, I believe we as fans of Sulli would love it because you not only keep her memories alive for us but also honor her as a person, as a human being and for who she is, not as what people wants her to be.

We might not know Sulli personally but we know the Sulli as the little Jinri in her first drama, Ballad of Seodong.

She went to join F(x) and started in To The beautiful You. Yes, she is an actress but I believe there is a part of the role they play that are innate in them for them to be really effective and she was effective in those roles.

Writing is a passion as well as a talent, authornim. I believe writing about Sulli and/or using her as your character would not be in bad taste if you write with your heart and soul in it. I believe that even in people's stories we can hope that she could've a better life, one with happiness, one she did not get in real life. Not that it makes readers delusional but simply wishing also even if only in the stories, Sulli is happy, at peace and would not have felt lonely.

It is not about writing as if nothing happened, authornim. The reality of her passing will always be hanging in our minds, but writing or simply continuing stories you have already had with Sulli in mind I believe continuing would not be in bad taste. But that is an opinion of a fan, though a silent one (regretting that I should have been more vocal as a fan), I love her as her, quirky to some but to me she is the lovable Jinri I keep following.

My tip is to read up on Sulli as much as you can to know her better, maybe even reach out to her family if there is a possibility to contact them. Though I think it is more than to show respect to her family more than anything, I believe it is your right to continue writing about or with Sulli as your character as long as you honor your commitment to the readers and to yourself and to Sulli (even though she is no longer with us).

I believe that Sulli would not mind as you would write from your heart.

Hoping for the best that you can continue to have her living in your stories.

Chapter 27: I feel heartbroken, almost numb too authornim, but I hope in time you will continue the story like I told some of the Minsul authors.

Keeping Sulli in our hearts now that she is gone is also important. AFF stories has helped me from that dark path that people we like or admire like Sulli and Jonghyun has went through because they no longer can cope with the depression or the sadness or simply the reality that verbal abuse then was so severe, only a few were really behind her. I think Lee Soman and SM is one of the saddest people now because they lost their angel too. I also wonder if the bashers are happy now that she is gone while we who love our angel is heartbroken. We will never get the chance to see her stand up from all the ashes and live the life she deserves. How her eonnies and oppas are now crying because of this loss. But I hope we will rally behind her after everything has passed and calmed down and celebrate her life even if only in stories in AFF. Maybe not now, but I hope all Minsul authors can come back and complete these stories about the Jinri we love.
