I Still Love You

Description

a.k.a   "Yellow Flowers"

How did it come to this? I'm so tired. . .

A break. That's what they decided they needed. To take this time to sort out their emotions and see if what they had was real — if it was what they both truly wanted. So, why does it feel like Hyorin is the only one trying?

Foreword


It had been fun at first — the honeymoon phase of every relationship. Ice cream dates, where he’d purposefully smear ice cream onto my nose, then giggle like a school boy at my responding pout. Movie dates, where he would pick a horror film just so I’d hold onto him tightly. He liked that part, and secretly, I did too. But the beach dates were my favorite. We would walk along the beachside, barefoot, collecting seashells. Then, as we watched the sun set, he would parrot the overused “yeah, it is” as he looked at me dreamily when I had said “Isn’t it beautiful?” Yet even still, I blushed and ducked my head shyly. Stupid butterflies. The point is I had a lot of good memories with him. Him being Youngbae, my boyfriend. More than most couples, that is. More than many within their lifetime. He was practically the ‘perfect boyfriend’,so why did he have to go and mess it all up?

Author's Note:

While writing, I enjoy listening to music, mainly to get me in the right mindset. I find it helps me to set the proper tone, whatever it may be. The beautiful thing about music is that it can truly create such a vivid picture for the listener that it evokes emotions that weren't there before. By doing so, it begans to blur fiction and reality.  This is what I wish to accomplish. So, if you wish, you may listen to this while you read the chapters to come, especially Chapter 1:

Hyorin’s thoughts are italicized for reading convenience. Also, this is given in the pov of Min Hyorin, who's not famous in this fanfic. I hope you enjoy my poor attempts at capturing romance between one of the world’s loveliest couples :)

Chapter 3: I love how you showed us Youngbae's efforts to show Hyorin how much he cares about her. As a famous person, I believe you lose focus on how it is not to be in the spotlight so him changing his work schedules and actually talked to other people for a different perspective - very healthy! And so canon as well when you think back to the Radio Star interview :)
Hyorin still being a little torn inside and petty is so well written as well, she doesn't want to give in too easily but in the end can't resist but honestly, who would when your boyfriend just told you he moved his work plans for YOU?
And the end- THE END! Youngbae gifting her yellow flowers, just like the man did in the beginning - like I said the perfect setup and the perfect ending, so well rounded and complete.

I adored this story so much and this couple, man I would to read more about them! So if you're planning to maybe write some more about them, you have me as a reader for sure ♥

Chapter 2: Youngbae's show of affection to get Hyorin back made me chuckle and smile but at the same time wonder if that would be enough for Hyorin, given the fact that her thoughts are pretty ambivalent. (Hyorin noticing that this kind of style would be more Kwon Jiyong - I love!) Her inner struggles to either give in to love or being the strong woman that she is, is so beautifully written and you can clearly see it in the way she thougth Youngbae came back and was talking to her mother. And the end of this chapter...ahhhh it had me right where it wanted me to be, I just had to continue right away to see their reunion!

Chapter 1: Alright I finally find the time to leave comments for each chapter! I love your writing style and you made me actually enjoy reading a fic written in first pov.
Starting the little story with a man buying his wife flowers was a very good setup for the rest of the plot, you could already get a hint of what was coming, especially with Hyorin's thoughts going to Youngbae all the time. Speaking of her thoughts, your choice of words was perfect, I could feel what she felt in such a natural way. The 'burden' of being the girlfriend of a famous singer, that must be tough life (especially because you made her none famous in this one)
I also liked how you incooperated social media like instagram into the first chapter, a very refreshing sight to see and to break up the stoic written blocks (because I'm sure almost everyone can identify with this). (CL liking her pictire...that had me smiling so much!)
The way she stood her ground when she confronted Youngbae about the situation - wow you had me there. Her reasoning, that she has to go through with this...I can completely understand her and not backing down on her decision is such a brave and independant decision!
Also the music you suggested gave the whole chapter a bittersweet taste but was calming at the same time.
