The Light Within

Description

Chen's life lacked a meaning, a purpose...a light. He wasn't searching for it when it came to him one night as he sat drinking alone. But sometimes in life, the light we find is temporary. A fleeting hope that there is something better beyond our misery in this world until only we can find the light in our lives that lives within us.

Foreword

This is the first Chen/Lay fic that I have written. First EXO one, actually. It is angst, because I don't really like to write anything else and only write fluff when the blot bunnies make me. There is character death, so this is your warning. And I actually really liked how this turned out...which probably means it is garbage.

If there is one thing I have learned on this trip it is the value of life and the thin line that separates it from death. And even in the deepest pit of despair a light can be found...and it is usually found in the form of a child. These things are kind of reflected here.

As always, comments are loved :)

Chapter 1: *endless sobbing*
I wish I could hate you for breaking my heart, but I can't even tell you how much I love you for writing this. Do I even make sense ? Don't think so...
Anyway, it was truly beautiful, intense and sad, yet they had their happy moments as well... *cries*

Chapter 1: This story is tragic. Tragic but really beautiful.
Brief flash of their happiness. It made me cry.

This was magically tragic but oh so beautiful...
The angst!!! Gosh that was really good stuff
There were parts in the story that made my throat tighten from the overwhelming feeling of the urge to cry because the emotions were portrayed so well and the tangible feelings went straight through me...

A job well done! Gosh I miss reading LayChen...I want some LayChen action now!!!
Recently KrisChen had been clogging my heart, mind, and soul...that pair is really just perfection...
But LayChen is something beautiful and very memorable...(ugh what am I talking about...ignore my weird rantings)

Anyways!! I love this story... Hoping for more LayChen!! ^^
