The Blankness of Paper (XVI)

Description

Leaving is pain, and so is staying. Loving hurts, and so does the paper that cuts the skin.

Love is grief, and so is letting go.

Foreword

They'd been better.

There were times when Myungsoo was like the smooth touch of cashmere Sungjong likes; there were times when Sungjong was like the tender touch of a spring breeze Myungsoo likes.

There were times when their relationship was like a beautiful red rose.

But every rose has is thorn, and they realized this when they were almost bleeding to death.

Or rather, when Sungjong was almost bleeding to death.


 

Information:

Title: The Blankness of Paper (XVI)

Genre: Angst

Pairing: MyungJong (Myungsoo / Sungjong)

Warnings: selfharm, broken!MyungJong, characters with depression

Contest Link / Prompt: participating in the Chemistry Contest | Prompt: Your voice breaks off. Your tears that slowly build up and fall over. I hold you with my chest and stay there for a long time, then slowly push you away. (Kim Sunggyu – 60 Seconds)

a/n:

this is probably one of the stories where I don’t dedicate it to persons, and also probably the one where I won't add a real theme to it. if there is one, it would probably be don't hold onto the things that are already broken; it will only hurt you more.

let me say, on the other side, that Rose, Delib and I participate in the same contest with the same freaking pairing! this will be interesting. and yes, I'm this sort of authors who actually don't want any of those physical prizes (hell not even karma!), but rather the ones who participate because they want to challenge themselves. guess that's just me.

anyways, enjoy your read, as always. heartsparks

Chapter 1: First of all, broken MyungJong=you broke my heart. But that's the only complain I can make about this whole thing. Everything else was beautifully done. I loved the anachronistic order of the events. I really don't mind Sungyeol with IU though but Sungjong with Tiffany...ahem.

But yes, it's pleasant to read, even though it's sad. And the emotions are sort of suppressed, as if they're etched on a paper rather than moving and living and breathing. I really enjoyed reading this.

But again, broken MyungJong, and Sungjong cutting - it hurts.
