Description

In which Kim Yun goes through a life-changing event after encountering Kim Jongin, quite literally. But the thing is, Yun doesn't think that it's going to change her life at all.

 

Foreword

“There are many, many, many worlds branching out at each moment you become aware of your environment and then make a choice.” 
― Kevin Michel, Moving Through Parallel Worlds To Achieve Your Dreams

For some reason, out of all the romance songs I could think of, I felt like this one was the one that related to the story the most, somehow.

 



[A/N]: so, at 1am this friday i was suddenly distraught with the thought that, omg, lackadaisies-ssi, you've never been able to write a drabble! like or, a short fic that's at least less than 2k words. so i googled some otp/au prompts and came across this prompt (from here):

Somehow, a character or characters glimpse what their life may have been like if one pivotal event had not happened, or had happened differently. (Examples: Harry Potter’s parents didn’t die, Bilbo Baggins never found the Ring, Anakin Skywalker never met Padme Amidala, etc.)

Your choice if:

- Your character could be able to see this alternate universe, but not interact with it

- Your character could be able to “live” in this alternate universe for a while

- Changing this event either improves the current situation or makes it worse

thought the prompt was beautiful. made up a short story that could capture that prompt in a concise way.

I SWEAR THIS STORY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHORT IN MY HEAD GODDAMN, BUT AS I WAS WRITING IT JUST GREW INTO THIS MONSTROSITY (ok exaggeration, it's only like 7k-ish), AND I HATE MYSELF BUT I WROTE IT ALREADY SO. YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO READ IT. IT'S STILL A ONESHOT, SO DON'T WORRY. I'M SORRY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS.

P.S: i keep telling myself to stop writing about sad girls, or sad, depressed ocs, but i guess it's my thing. i'm just... a sad person. yun isn't necessarily a sad girl, here, but, uh. i'm sorry if you're tired of reading angsty ocs from me, bc yun isn't going be to be an exception on the angsty part. but please do give her some love if you end up reading this. 

 

much love, 

lackadaisies.

Chapter 1: wow this is amazing! the last line “unfortunately i don’t want to be saved” felt like it punched me in the gut cause it was so bittersweet (?) i’d say.

Chapter 1: This have a great flow but it still have loopholes about Yun's life before meeting Jongin. Oh well, I just love the rawness of Yun's character which is so true for substance-related disorders even the ending is sad. I just love reading sad stories here so much. Hoping that there would be a sequel or an epilogue chapter would be great.

Chapter 1: Yun don't want to be saved but can't she at least try to save herself? I wonder how she truly feels
I dont really know how to describe Yun's personality.She is not a wallflower.She totally not a prude.There's something about her that i dont know what to say.
But well she has a dream but well *shrugs*i wonder what happened to her brother.I'm kind of curious of how she get herself mix with hyuna.
Overall , i really like the story.I like the way you put gap between Yun's memories to show us,readers that there's something wrong with Yun.

Chapter 1: First of all, I love that song. Never heard of it before but thank you for including it in here.
Second, the feels.....!!! I think my heart died a little...or maybe a whole lot.

Okay, i'm quite confused at first but after reread it (omg, i'm so slow i know) actually this is so deep.
Yeah i know you put angst as your first tag, but HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO JONGINNIEE, WAEEEEE?!?!
