In the Dark

Description

Jieun is a statistic. Between 75 and 95% of prostitues are abused as children.46% of high schoolers have already had .  92% of es say they want to leave the industry but can't because of a lack of money or food. 

Spot-on the biography of Nam Jieun.

It's the life she's always led. And Yongguk was a part of it.

A part of her messed up, illegal, secretive life. The best part, debatably. But the end is always messy in a relationship like theirs and Jieun is left broken, even more of a shell than she was before. 

And then Jung Daehyun comes to her school. Obviously rich, charmingly attractive, polite Jung Daehyun. And for some reason, he won't leave her alone.

I'm literally a slave to my impulsiveness...UGHLA;SKJDFL;ASKJF;KAL. Whatever. Story number 11 legggooo~ Haha, but I'm pretty sure this one will actually be semi-regularly updated and finisheddd~~~ I wasn't going to upload it but it's actually easier for me to organize like, chapters and time frames and stuff if it's on here so yeeee

 

oh. ALSO. WARNINNGSSS: This isn't gonna be ty cause I can't do that stuff....buuut it's gonna be sort of mature. I'm not really sure how far I'll go into it but obviously Jieun sometimes sells herself, and there's gonna be innuendos and stuff. And swearing, there's basically always swearing in my stories....It's just a sort of darkly themed story, probably sad later on. Nothing hardcore but if you're looking for something really light and fluffy this isn't one of those stories of mine :P

 
10/11/2013-- one of my wonderful wonderful readers made this story a poster. ;laksjdf;as she's too good thank you to the lovely LeonardoDaFishy for the main poster^^ guys this is the first story i have a poster for this is so exciting a;lsdkjfs<333

Foreword

 

                “But I love you…” Jieun couldn’t even fathom this. What was happening? Who was that girl?

                Yongguk gave her a sad smile, but it wasn’t sympathetic, it was pitying. “Love doesn’t exist in a world like this. Sorry, Jieun-ah, but I thought you knew that.”

                The girl on Yongguk’s arm laughed loudly. “Awh, she’s so cute, Guk-ah. How old is she?”

                Jieun felt her blood boil. She walked away swiftly before she could hear anymore, the tears dripping continuously. She had loved him, she really had. Yongguk was very possibly the first person she had ever loved in this world. Well, besides Jina, but that’s obvious, how could she not love her perfect younger sister?

                But Jina had left, and now Yongguk was, too. Jieun knew she was naïve to believe a relationship could ever work out between them, but she couldn’t help falling for him.

                And she couldn’t help still loving him, either.

Chapter 16: omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg.
honestly, i'm on semi-hiatus and i'm far too lazy to read fanfiction nowadays, but when i saw that this was updated, i absolutely could not resist the urge to go and read the new chapter. and i'm glad that i did that. because it was absolutely amazing, as always. again, i am just undeniably in love with daehyun and jieun. they're just so. ugh. <3
omg i just love how his parents came and she got to learn more about him and it proved that she had a wrong first impression of him having like a perfect life and all because he honestly doesn't. i actually feel sorry that daehyun has to feel that way towards his own parents. but still, his life is far better than jieun's, and she obviously didn't like her parents very much, either. daehyun pretty much straight out confessing to her was just so so sooo cute it made me laugh aha.
and i just love how she didn't have the heart to throw away his clothes. that was just. gah. <3 =')

Chapter 15: . . .
you. you. you. you toy with my emotions too much. o.e
i don't think words can quite describe the emotions i'm feeling right now. a thousand keyboard smashes wouldn't even be enough... how about a million? ;A;
this is just. so. freaking. good omfg. i just love daehyun and jieun so much i can't. they should have a proper couple name like daeji or daeeun or something like that you know? they're just so precious and i. ship. them. so. HARD. ;A;
i'm so glad she's finally opening up to him. i hope he can change her life for the better. and the end where he kisses her and she smiles and i just. gah. :*
LOL i wonder what she'll think after waking up in his room for the second time though xD
it's hard for you to transition relationships? really? because i think you're doing a beautiful job. o u o
thank you so much for the update even though you're probably busy preparing for camp. it means a lot. <3 ;A;

Chapter 14: Honestly I don't even read fanfics that much these days, but yours is one of the few I'd always remember to read. It's so beautiful, and I really like this chapter. Daehyun kicking away her shoes make me smile, such an instinctive and innocent way of saying "don't leave". I hope he keeps breaking away at Jieun's ice cold heart. I believe he can make her happy again.
