Symptoms (Missing you Like Crazy)

Fragments of Memories
Title: Symptoms (Missing you Like Crazy)
Characters: IU, Taemin
Inspired by: Symptoms by SHINee
 
“I woke up this morning breathing heavily, my chest heaving. It was as if something was choking me in my sleep, draining my oxygen and killing me slowly. A cup of cold water and some anxiety pills were the only things that could stabilize me again; with much difficulty, I dragged my body and threw myself on the couch to try to fall asleep again.”
 
That’s pretty much the description of my mornings. This has been happening for—I don’t know. What day is it today? Ah. The calendar tells me that it’s the twenty third of February...or, from my count, the fifty sixth day since you left me.
 
Everything’s so...unreal. I don’t know. As stupid as it sounds—Am I living on Earth? Then why do I feel as if air is such a foreign substance? I can’t breathe. Your absence is choking me, and I’m about to die.
 
Stay. Baby please. Stay. I don’t think I can live without you.
 
I... I won’t ask for much, I promise. It’s okay if I love you more than you love me. After all, I don’t deserve you. But stay, because... because you’re the only cure to this sickness I seem to have developed.
 
Hey, Lee Jieun. Are you listening? Lee Taemin needs you. He loves you, more than he loves himself.
 
I’m fine with just being a doll on your shelf. It’s okay if I bleed all over for holding a thorny rose.
 
Just keep me. Please.

Chapter 14: As I read along, I can't help but to sympathize how Chanyeol felt. It's so real and I know it to be the one compromising and giving in every single time. It's that feeling that you'd hate absolutely. Having to throw away your pride just for that sick love you can't afford losing away.

Chapter 14: that was indeed beautiful. i like how their relationship is portrayed realistically, like every sentence speaks out chanyeol's desperate and insecure affection towards jieun. because reality isn't some kiss-n-grow fluff and one usually feels like trash around the other but they still cling onto the relationship. oh, the beauty of a loser's heart.

Chapter 14: I keep liking every oneshot you wrote. I mean, everything is perfect. Every story you wrote is somehow perfect and beautiful. I somehow disliked song-based story, I don't think this one is another type of it. I found this piece to be simple and very honest, sad. This flow very smoothly. I could actually relate without having to experience it. You know sometimes I wonder if you could teach me how to write :D. Your work is really something

Chapter 13: I think this chapter could be my favorite! I really like the flow of this story, not too fast or too slow, and it just flow smoothly. And of course, it's myungu! I'm craving for myungu recently. "He found more sound in silence than in loud environment." I really like that line. I can relate <3

Chapter 13: /breathes
DRAWING? MASTERPIECE? INSTRUCTOR? FOUNTAIN IN THE PARK? OMFG DID YOU TRAVEL MY MIND OR SMT. THEY ARE LIKE MY MOST FAVORITE THINGS EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I love them already, hahaHAAAAAAA. JOKES. Their meeting was very interesting because Jieun is... interesting and I'm not going to say she's Lilyflower but we'll see. I really like Myungsoo's personality, haha, cocky artists <33
SO I GUESS YOU WIN MY HEART WITH THE THEME AND THE PAIRING AND THEIR CHEMISTRY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. ;;
on the side note, I thought you hated art. /coughcough
I thought you're going to create a new story but it seems like you decided to update the drabble collection... okayy.
