Red Hoodie

Description

Changhyun thinks it would be okay to die.

He has nothing left in this world, so why not just move on to the next? Something happened, so he thinks it would be okay to die. Something bad happened, so now Changhyun is in the hospital being prepped for surgery. If it goes right, then he'll lead a normal life. If it goes wrong, he'll certainly die.

 

But that's the least of his worries.

 

Every night Changhyun's been dreaming. He's gone to incredible places that one could only imagine. He's gone on adventures more dangerous than those of movies. There, he’s eaten the finest food, and seen the most beautiful sights. There, he met someone.

 

He met a boy in a red hoodie. 

 

The boy took Changhyun to places that one could only imagine. He's taken Changhyun on adventures more dangerous than those of movies. There, they’ve eaten the finest food, and seen the most beautiful sights. There, the boy taught Changhyun something.

 

So, Changhyun thinks it would be okay to live…just a little longer.

Foreword

"To live is to struggle; it's overwhelming. Death is painless; it's nothingness. Life is hard. Death is easy. If you were to die, you'd never be hurt, but if you were to live, pain would be at every corner.Is it worth it to die and not feel anymore? Or can we find that light in the darkness and continue to live? Well, whatever the answer is, I know for sure that I am alive, I just don't know for how long..."

Prompt (edited as needed):

6.     Changhyun  is ready to die. With medical help, he could live, but he's alright with dying. Every night before his big surgery, Changhyun dreams of a boy in a red hoodie. His mind escapes to a realm where hecan spend every second with this boy.  But as Changhyun comes closer to the big day, his dreams become his reality, and the boy in the red hoodie is anything but a dream.

 

Background and poster made by me! I don't kow. It just happened cause I saw some art in the same style and I wanted to try it. So there.

Chapter 3: This was really sad and heartbreaking. Changhyun in reality is so happy-go-lucky so it was shocking to read about everything he had went through :c I'm an optimist so I thought that maybe, when Changhyun had woken up, it meant that everything was going to be better.

But your ending was perfect, I mean not everything has a happy ending so I'm half glad you were so direct about everything, really tugged my heartstrings though

Chapter 3: Just amazing~♥

But did Jonghyun and Changhyun know each other or did they only meet in their dreams? And why did Changhyun's friends hurt and stab him?
