I Keep Seeing You

Description

A New Start.

That's what is was; moving house. It was to get away from everything that had happened that year - her youngest brother had graduated from university (way to make a girl feel old), her auntie Philipa had cursed her lungs out during her attendence at the 'Fathers Galore' wedding;

Fathers Galore Wedding phr. 1. when a Father who had left 15 years ago turns up to his wife's wedding to declare that she, in fact,                              

        cannot marry as she is already betrothed to him.  2. Something to, at all costs, avoid to the brink of life and death itself.

 

and one more reason - the main reason. 

It was simple. Her house, her old house, was filled with so many memories. So much hurt now overshadowing the happiness they both shared. She hated to utter his name on her lips, causing the tears to flow.

Moving was the only option, and, at 24, with no Mum to cry on (especially since her husband had come and mucked things up again after 15 years of getting rid of her), she couldn't cope with the grief alone. It was simply a case of changing scenery, even if it was 5000 odd miles away from her family. 

I guess the death of a fiance' really does bring it down on a girl.

 

 

SangHee, or Willow now that she is living in England, has been coping with the loss of her fiance', Jung ByungHee. She remembers her happiness when she imagined referring herself as Mrs. Jung SangHee. He had promised to never leave her and she believed him, yet what can a girl do when heaven calls her partner back home? 

But when she starts seeing him mysteriously in her new house in England, what's a girl to think? That he's come back for her and they can finally be together?

What do you expect from a girl stricken with grief?

Foreword

A quick one-shot be this!

I noticed how my one-shots were dwindling so I decided to write one now.

I think my idea came when I was looking at a poster on a fic on here - I can't remember who's fic it was or who made the poster but thank you for the inspiration!!

It kinda went like this;-

*looks at poster*

"ooh, old house."

*thinks*

"old house = haunted house = girl moving = old lover = ka-ching!!" 

 

And that's about how the idea sprouted.

 

The story is going to written through letters from Willow to ByungHee. It's the first time I've done something like that but I think it brings more emotion. Hopefully it works.

 

 

I hope you enjoy!! (and if anyone wants to make me a poster.... hehehehehehehehehehehe)

This was beautiful. Really. I loved the way the letters were written, and the whole story was just..so sad. ;_; I'm absolutely in love with it.
The last letter really teared me up and got me thinking about a lot of things. I guess, they're happy together though.
Great writing here. Keep it up. <3

:D Really beautiful and I loved the concept. Absolutely fell in love with the concept - great job. A couple of suggestions/critiques: There were some phrases that idk why but felt very awkward or roughly said and I felt that that messed with the flow of the story a bit. I'm not sure. I know what one those lines was:<br />
<br />
"P.S. I know in my past letters I called you Oppa but I've been thinking, now that I'm living in England, I'm not sure if I should. Knowing you, you don't really care as long as we're together. That's what you said when I asked you the first time if I should call you Oppa. I was really happy then."<br />
<br />
And even though this line was beautiful, it felt...>.< awkward. I'm not sure. Another thing, and maybe this is a personal issue, is I feel as though you shouldn't use the word "also" in your writing - be a little more assertive. It'll give the piece a new feeling imo. :D <br />
<br />
I want to also (keke) applaud you on the beautiful lines you included in the piece (so many beautiful parts), and leaving the readers with wistful thoughts ringing in their heads. The deal breaker for me was the last letter from the mother. THAT was just....I can't even explain hwo INCREDIBLE that part was, and it closed the story PERFECTLY! <br />
<br />
Gosh, very pretty. <br />
<br />
Even though you were trying to go for an emotional piece, I didn't feel like crying so much as just being wistful and reminiscing over the story alongside the girl. Hmmm...I'm not sure why that is, but it's probably just me. :D It was a great piece. Goodness I can't even wrap my head around it. >.<

OMO!!! This is so sad... Because I read this at my office, I can't cry but surely if I read this alone, I will cry.. You did a good job, indeed.. This kinda remind me of PS I LOVE YOU which is heartbreaking too. T T
