Hardships and a Photobook

you have come to the end of                         {    h  &  p  }

 


 

From that day that she left, Baekhyun wore her spectacles everyday, whether the degree suited him or not.

 

And Baekhyun sent text messages to Seo Eun everyday. 

 

She never replied.

 

Of course.

 

Baekhyun still made the bed and cushions nicely and thought of it as Seo Eun was up early as usual and was off to the park. He still cooked her share during meals and would often re-watch the dramas they once cuddled upon the sofa to watch on late Fridays. And when Baekhyun returned from work he would still call out to her and smile. Most importantly, whenever he looked at the photos he took of her, his fingers would trail along the frames, his fingers her hair behind the fragile glass.

 

But Baekhyun didn't want to think of it that she died, he thought of it as karma for not answering her calls in the past.

 


 

Baekhyun had bought a big house by near the family park. He knew Seo Eun would love it.

 

The living room, like the exterior of the house, looked comfortable and warm, the pine door was dark chocolate brown that was warm with a touch. 

 

When Baekhyun stepped in the house, it was all tartans and rich reds and dark wood accents. 

 

Their master bed room was almost entirely made up of tall windows and the dust would dance in the shaft of the sunlight without permission. 

 


 

Putting down one of the novels Seo Eun left behind, he took off the black framed glasses and walked to the long window. 

 

"Seo Eun," He called softly. "Can you see me waving? Or do you need your glasses?" 

 

Baekhyun chuckled alone. 

 

 

 

But a star twinkled too.

Chapter 9: Oh my god!! I don’t think I have cried this much for any story. I’ve been avoiding reading this for so long knowing that it’s a sad ending but it is so beautiful and painful I literally have no words. The characters felt so real. The story is so well written and it’s not confusing at all. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be thinking about this for the next few days 😭 my heart

Chapter 5: When you said the chapters were all flashbacks, I don't want to think about anything but I could feel more angst coming from this story. It's so beautiful. This one. It's like staying at a little quaint coffee shop with a mini library. That's what this overall feel of the Foreword till this chapter gave to me. I'm surprised there are people who didn't like this fic. They way you express from Seo Eun's perspective was very profound. I'm actually reading this right now with IU's My Old Story piano cover as background. It somehow fit this story. This chapter is so beautiful. It's in the perspective of a student who likes making art. Do you make doodles and drawings, as well? I can't help but feel Seo Eun is you. But seriously, it's so amazing to see from artist's perspective what love is. I'm an artist too and I'm so excited to read the next chapters. The angst also, I could feel it and maybe because of my song choice haha
