I'm Sorry, I Love You

Description

A collection of drables dedicated to Jun with all the members inspired by his cover of I'm Sorry, I Love You.

Foreword

First of all, just a warning. This is barely edited. I wrote, edited, wrote, edited.

Second, I can't believe Jun's cover of I'm Sorry, I Love You will hurt me more than it should and more than I thought. When I first listened to it in the office, I thought it was a familiar song because I had seen the drama it came from like, five or six years ago. But then, as I listened to it again, and again, and again, it hurt me more than it should but I don't regret one time of repeating that song of Jun singing it because it is damn beautiful. And thus, this fic.

I picked lines from the song (the translation from the Chinese version that Jun sang because I wanted to stick in that and also because it was also the only song I listened to while writing this for like three or four hours) and wrote a drabble - five paragraphs each - for all the members and a special one because I thought I should, too.

This is a late Happy Birthday gift to Wen Junhui who is a wonderful, beautiful gift to the world. I hope he knows how many people he makes happy and in turn, how much he deserves happiness, too.

This fic is also posted on A03 where I think it makes less sense under the same name because of the italics, strikethroughs, etc. that I still can't figure out how they work there.

Chapter 1: This is such a beautiful story. I love, by the way, that you built up all of the passages the same way: first a longer paragraph, then just a few words, followed (usually) by three 2-to-3-line-paragraphs!

The ones with Seungcheol and Seokmin affected me the most. Seokmin because it sounds so much like you're referring to Jonghyun (though of course you could also be referring to anyone else, fictional or real), and Seungcheol's because it's so important to have friends who just accept you like that, friends who won't judge you for mistakenly speaking the wrong language out of nowhere, friends who will support you anyways. The one calling Jun a weirdo for mixing up languages is an idiot!
The passages with Jihoon and Seungkwan were also really wonderful! The cherishing of silence on the one hand and the silent support and 'Someone will be there for you and make sure you get home safely - no matter at what time' is so nice!
And then the last two mini-stories... They're also just so beautiful. The Carat one had me thinking of the Ment during Diamond Edge when he talked about how much CYZJ has also helped him cherish being on stage with Seventeen and having Carats cheer for him at any given moment.

Thank you for writing this beautiful story~ And you're right, listening to 'I'm Sorry, I love you' while (in my case) reading this fits incredibly well.
