Neon Nights

Description

It's nights like these that Seulgi and Irene live for.

 

A Seulrene one-shot for late-night dreamers.

 


"Whatever happens tonight, don't let me go tomorrow."


Seulgi hasn't heard from Irene in three years. She shouldn't go. She really shouldn't. But Irene is Irene, and Seoul looks beautiful this time of night.

Thank you very much for the review :)


Foreword

Author's Notes

I'm baaaack (for now)! 

I've got a little bit of time to write some random stuff before my uni life really ramps up again so I thought I'd throw up a random one-shot since I was inspired by an amazing mix I found on Youtube (which I linked above). 

I might also come back to Under the Neon Sun at some point but for now I'm kinda burnt out on Cyberpunk/Thrillers, so sorry about that <3

Anyways, in the meantime, enjoy!

Chapter 1: So many emotions conveyed from so little dialogues. I really like how realistic and raw it was and how it was built up from there.
Thank you author, this is beautiful.

i just reread this again and realized that idk if it's just me or it's just you writing seulrene ffs based on the weeknd songs but this reminds me of their song 'wanderlust' lol and its lyrics 'And tonight I will love you And tomorrow you won't care' being in contrast with your 'whatever happens tonight, dont let me go tomorow' lmao ok idk. nvm hahahah i happened to listen to the weeknd again bc of your fics

Ohmy, your stories never fail to amaze me and this was so damn beautiful. I loved the descriptions and the dialogue and everything. I really hope you never stop writing because, god, you're really one of the best writers I know.

Chapter 1: I've already lost count on how many times I've already reread this but whenever I'm rereading this I can still feel some certain kind of sadness. I don't know why but I like how it reads. I love the dialogues here the most.

'some things aren't meant to last forever.'
'some things are.'
'some things can be good for a short time.'
'the star that burns twice as bright.'
'burns half as long.'
'we burned bright didn't we?'

That exchange has to be the most beautiful and at the same time saddest I've seen here. This is so true though. That some of the happiest and most intense encounters we have are the shortest ones.

'we did alright for ourselves'
'i still love you, you know?'
'yeah.'
'i think a small part of me always will. Nothing will ever take that away from me. No matter what.'

And that right there just hits too close at home. When we love someone so much and they left they tend to take a part of us with them too. That feeling where time doesnt matter, consequences doesnt matter, everything is inconsequential, because love transcends everything.

This and When I'm With You are my all time favorites from this website. Thanks for these stories. They're timeless.

Chapter 1: I'm really bad with taking in sad endings but this sad ending gave the good kind of hurt. Because it hits close to home and I've been in the same boat as seulgi, left without closure and then meeting again after a few years (that's how I interpret this ff lmao)

But the good thing for me is, this ff actually felt like it gave an open-ended ending. Like even when seulgi didnt want to go back to the way things were with irene, it felt like the ending is still open to the possibility of them ending up together. Like this meeting wont stop there, these neon nights would happen one after the other. oh god i wish that was what this is lmao im so desperate for a happy ending bc that's what I want to happen to me.

But anyway, still love your writing style, use of words are too good. Your other fics are good too, tho I took a rest on stargirl and started reading your completed oneshots and short fics. So thanks for this, TEZMiSo!

Chapter 1: Jesus Christ I'm literally having goosebumps while reading this, especially the ending.

This is so sad, but not the kind of sad that I hate. It's like the kind of sadness that will make you relax, shed a tear or two and feel lighter after you did.

Boldness could really reward us sometimes. I was contemplating if I should read this or not then I'm like " it" and read it and I'm satisfied.

This is one of those stories I'll be rereading so much being the monogamist that I am. Sometimes it just feels good to be sad. I guess tonight is just one of those times for me.

Chapter 1: Their existence together is the very definition of torture. Like star-crossed lovers in some tragic Shakespearean play. There's this inexplicable gravitational pull between them but something just as powerful repels, too. Their connection really is utterly incomprehensible. You always manage to capture this essence of their relationship.

Good to see you back, TEZMiSo. I had wondered what you were getting up to. I enjoyed this piece very much. I'm always up for whatever you're willing to share with us. :)
