Days, Weeks, Months

Description

"Her fingertips idly brush over a small wooden box on the bookshelf - the size of the box means it is for only one thing: rings. She doesn’t open it, because she already knows what is inside. Wrapped in a blue velvet cloth is a simple silver ring with a crooked band and a small faux jewel."

Foreword

Author’s Note (updated June 11, 2013):

I’ve just finished watching WGM, and I must admit that I’ve never wished so badly in my life that two other people would get together. There was something so genuine in their interactions, in their awkwardness, that I fell in love with them and with the show almost immediately. I watched the entire series in less than a week.

Whether it was scripted or not (and to what extent), it doesn’t matter to me. It was a sweet story, one that reminded me of how beautiful young love is, and how I felt when I was in that situation, years ago, with a girl that Seohyun reminded me a lot of. But I let her go, and it was the biggest mistake of my life - I think in some way I had to find a way to get Yonghwa and Seohyun together, if only in fanfic, to correct that mistake. I guess writing this story is a bit of catharsis for me.

I intentionally didn't use any names in these chapters, mainly because I wanted to emphasize how simple and innocent their relationship was/is. These could be any two people, anywhere around the world, and a lot of the feelings are universal - every day people are wondering if that someone special feels the same way, for example, and I figured by not using names that it could really emphasize that point. Plus, if you use names you bring up a lot of baggage - Yonghwa and Seohyun are, despite their fame and fortune, just a boy and a girl who may or may not be in love.

Above all, though, this story is my way of saying thank you to you, Yonghwa and Seohyun, regardless of whether or not you really do have feelings for each other in real life (although that would make my heart explode with feels if you did). What is indisputable is the way you made us gogumas feel. You reminded me that love is out there, and it’s an amazing thing to behold and especially to experience. So thank you. :)

 

P.S.> I haven’t written any K-pop fanfic ever and it’s been years since I wrote any fanfic at all, so excuse my rustiness. :)

Chapter 6: After a year, I stumbled across this story again. It's still as impactful as the first time I read it. Simply beautiful and well-thoughout plot. Sneaky!

Chapter 7: This'll be a quickie. Just wow. Can you like slow down in rendering me speechless with your beautiful talent in writing? Lol. This has got to be one of my favourite yongseo epilogue ever written. Not only did you tie it up so beautifully heart-warming, but you included scenes there that parallels some of the earlier scenes in the story: hear leaning on the door frame watching her husband with a guitar in hand etc. I really have high respects and admiration to authors like you. Once again, thank you. It's been such a joy reading this! A ff I'll never forget!

I feel a bit frustrated that such beautiful story like this and such an exceptional author like you is so underrated and lost among a crowd of stories that are only merely there to satiate readers' hunger for entertainment instead of reminding gogumas why they're gogumas in the first place. I don't know if I'm making sense but meh. Idc.

I said it was gonna be a "quickie" but I guessed not. I blame you for being so good at this! XD

Take care.

Chapter 6: Bloody hell. That was one heck of a twist. I really thought he was gonna let her go that's why he didn't speak with her for a certain amount of time. Not that assumption that Seohyun had about him dating Shinhye. I seriously didn't see the wedding proposal coming. My heart was literally breaking as I read from that scene where they were video calling each other up until the proposal.

Ya! How can you do this to me? Why appear just now? I've met a lot of fantastic authors here, but you've been hiding from me like a hidden gem. Sneaky author tsk tsk. I'd love to read more stories coming from you. You write so beautifully and exceptionally well. The word "genius" isn't even sufficient to describe your incredible abilities to paint the scenes with mere descriptions and barely any conversations. That's one heck of a talent right there. Like I said before, though I am truly guttered to have come across your story just now, I'm glad I still did. Better late than never, right? Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, ideas, interpretations and wishes regarding this couple. It's been such an honour reading your pieces! Looking forward for more!

Chapter 3: I was planning on doing an overall review of the entire story once I've read all of them, but it's quite a difficult plan to follow when the story is this good. I just couldn't help but comment right away before words disappear from my brain.

From the first two chapters, I really found it so adorable and heart-warming. Not overly dramatic or too simple, but your writing style was so expressive and descriptive, it really painted a bittersweet romance between the two esp from the start. I personally think you captured the true essence of what makes yongseo one of the really well-known wgm couple and whose number of fans keeps on growing by the day. Your foreword (or is it a/n? Idk lol) about what you thought about this couple after watching their entire eps were the exact thoughts I had about them. Their chemistry is undeniable, but what really convinced me to shipping them is the sincerity towards each other, which were so obvious in their eyes. Idk but people can fake their smiles and their actions, but no one can fake the emotions in their eyes.

I'm just so surprised and kind of guttered I've only come across your story now considering it's probably one of the best written yongseo fics I've ever read. And I'm not even done yet.

With regards to this chapter, initially I thought it was Seohyun, but then she doesn't draw or likes drawing and singing is definitely Taeyeon's ultimate passion so the Taengoo popped up in my mind and booya! I was spot on. Like you, I really REALLY like Taengoo too! Well she's my bias after all. And yeah, I totally understand what you mean when a lot of people misunderstand her so she's got a lot of haters. I really appreciated this chapter because you captured Taeng's top qualities: empathetic, supportive, mindf and genuinely caring. Very well done so far. I'm going to read the next ones!

Chapter 7: This trully is an amazing piece of writing! You've done a wonderful job author-nim! Although its rather late, I'm really glad I found this story..

I really like the POV of the storytelling and the twist of drama is in the perfect amount. This story even includes most (if not all) members of SNSD & CNBlue as cameos and I love the way you integrate them into the storylines.

Thank you so very much for sharing your writing here author-nim! FYI, you've successfully made a guy (me) really happy!
