Never Tell Me the Odds

Description

A young family struggles with an unexpected diagnosis. Two fathers must come to terms with the illness their son has, and at the same time the reality that things will never go back the way they were, in more ways than one. [RS]

Foreword

To put it plainly and simply, this is catharsis. I'm just trying to process feelings while we're all in this pandemic mess (although the diagnosis has nothing to do with Covid-19; I'm not going that far). I tried writing Mise but it's taking more concentration than what I have on hand. This is coming out easier. Sorry for that.

Anyway, this is basically just a writing exercise on relationship dynamics, parenting, and sadness over things you can't control. Because that's just how life is.

Chapter 7: I'm rereading it now and i thought i would't cry as strongly as i did the first time, but here I am in the middle of the last chapter and need a Break to dry my tears.
I love this story so much, even through it hurts to read it. You are an amazing author at making people feel with the characters....

Chapter 7: this is really a tough fic to read. but definitely highly recommended. 10stars!!!!!
as someone who has experience losing loved ones, i know it will be hard for RS to accept jinnie's death.

i really love this fic and will surely miss, and im pretty sure papa eric and daddy hyesung's goodbye message to junjin will hunt me for days. (sigh) jinnie is just too young, :(

bye, im gonna cry myself to sleep now :'(

looking forward for your next story~ im so whipped for your fics hehehehe

Chapter 7: I detached around the same time Hyesung did but broke down in tears midway through Eric's speech. Now my nose is stuffy and I'm scared I'll wake my entire family with my sniffles. I knew this wouldn't have a happy ending but I had to see it through and I'm glad I did. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us, I look forward to more, however heartbreaking they may be. Please take care authornim!

Chapter 7: crying as I'm typing this. I'm going through something similar with my grandmother. I'm glad that Junjin is not in pain anymore, Eric and hyesung came to terms with it. Thank you.

Chapter 7: It really broke my heart and made me cry too much, but doesn't everything in life have a happy ending, right? I have always believed that sadness makes you value more those moments of happiness in your life. I know it takes work to recover after losing someone, but as Hyesung says you have to move on. Thank you for the story, although it was very sad, I think it helped me to get rid those contained tears and that needed to come out. Take care.

Chapter 7: What an ending. I cried so much cuz I felt all the pain Hyesung and Eric were going through. A part of me hoped everything would be ok in the end but at the end I was crying thinking 'well at least Jinnie isn't in pain anymore even if his parents are.' Cant wait to see what you have in store next and stay safe :)

Chapter 7: Wow. What an end. I had a feeling it wasn’t gonna end happily in terms of what was happening to JunJin but part of me kept hoping, somehow. At the very least, Eric and Hyesung have become honest with each other, and that honesty helped crack the walls between them. Whether they can continue onwards together or apart, at least they will be moving forward. But I like that there is Hope. Much like Star Wars, there is always Hope, and that is a reminder we need these days.
Thanks for this story, cause even with the sadness, am grateful for the slice of Hope.
