Since You've Been Gone

Dear Noona,

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your letter. You probably already know why.

Things have been pretty different since, well let’s just say since God called you back to Him.

I married a boy today! You know him pretty well actually, your second favourite neighbourhood kid, Mark Tuan. You know, it felt really surreal, walking towards him in the same church I had promised myself I would never enter again, almost 3 years later.

It felt like I was holding on to the door of my past but also holding on to the door of my future. At first, I didn’t know how I would ever choose between the two of them. How would I ever be able to choose between comfort and curiosity? They’re such diverse emotions.

I realised only when I was standing in front of Mark today however, that I didn’t have to choose. It turned out that the doors I was holding on to were one and the same.

Curiosity and comfort walk hand in hand.

I would never be able to find comfort in a new habit or hobby if I wasn’t curious enough to want to learn it in the first place.

So I realised one of the most important lessons of my life, funnily enough on the day of my wedding.

Then again, are we even surprised at this point? When has my life ever been conventional?

Anyway, so that was something I learnt today.

You know, I missed you a lot today. We had so many dreams for our weddings. We were supposed to be maid of honours for each other, you were supposed to threaten Mark to take good care of me or else you would kick his , there were so many things I wanted to do with you.

But I guess you were there in spirit, huh? At least, I hope so.

Oh, you know because of my lack of maid of honour, I ended up making Jackson the ‘man of honour’; you could say he was pretty honoured when I asked him. Lol, I crack myself up.

I also made the members of SHINee my ‘bridesmen’, they would have made good best men but it was pretty much decided from the start that GOT7 would take up that role. It didn’t matter though, the guys loved the idea. They were all for it, even Key, who seemed a bit embarrassed at first but ended up loosening up a bit when Jackson spiked his drink with some vodka.

Don’t look at me like that! Key was having the time of his life, and so were we, while recording him dance on the table.

It was hilarious, noona. You should have seen him dance.

Gotta admit though, you have pretty good taste in guys after all

Chapter 29: to be fair I'd be just like Jackson. why you two so slow? stupid fools who get too caught up in their emotions and fail to notice the most obvious path XD

Chapter 28: hello I'm back! after a while of getting settled on new job and finishing off a new story that invaded my brain despite my attempts to take a break from writing I'm back to reading others' stories! I quite enjoyed this chapter, and felt a bit teary during Youra's conversation with Key. Definitely struck a few chords there. One thing, I noticed that Youra calls You-jin 'noona' but that's how a male refers to older woman. A female would refer to an older woman as 'unnie'. Unless this was intentional and was explained earlier in the story and I just forgot in which case you can ignore this XD

Chapter 26: i don't know how you manage to hold back to posting once I month. I tried that once and it did it work out and actually posted 3 chapter a day for a good while XD I just fear getting a backlog of unpublished chapters once I start a new story

Chapter 25: the trio interaction is so cute haha. Also they seriously need to fix their issue of not verbally expressing stuff and talking about their actions. Communication peeps come on. It will make the whole process a lot less stressful XD

Chapter 21: Oh my, that letter definitely brought tears to my eyes. I also had a pretty good suspicion of what happened to Namjoon, especially because of his parting words and his final gift to Youra and Taehyung was each other.

Chapter 19: Well, Mark ain't gonna be happy when he founds out that Youra does actually have a boyfriend now XD You reap what you sow I suppose

Chapter 18: My my, does Youra realise what she's feeling? Or is she just running away from her real emotions and going with what is thrown at her first? that won't do little lady, don't hurt poor innocent Taehyung XD

Chapter 14: hmmmm I have to say I'm not too sure of how I feel about Taehyung. He seems adorbs and all but kissing her out of the blue when you can't yet ascertain how she feels? Though that may be just my personal reaction since I personally am more of a "whatdoyouwanstayawayfromme" haha.

It might have been nicer to tease out all the emotional conflicts a bit more before letting it all explode to have a bigger impact. Because there is the Mark "what do i feel goddamnit" and jackson's "let's have fun yo" and Taehyung's hoobae crush, it might have been nicer to flesh them out individually more for the audience to get a better understanding of what they feel, so that there is a bigger build up.

Hope I don't come off too full of myself haha

Chapter 10: Man, the parents going off on holiday kinda pissed me off? Like don't you realise you should be spending more time with your kid? Especially after the sour note you left it at? I'm really not getting a good impression of the parents now haha

Chapter 8: Whew, this chapter took me on quite an emotional rollercoaster. I was a bit confused at first regarding the timeline of everything though, like when the sister died, how long it has been and how everything unfolded afterwards.
