jamais vu.

Description

 

Minseok knows that what he and Luhan have is mostly for the cameras, but every time it happens, he finds himself believing that it’s real anyway.

jamais vu: an impression of seeing the situation for the first time, despite rationally knowing that he or she has been in the situation before.


 

Foreword

excerpt:

In the depths of his mind, amidst the memorized notes and scripts and silent cries for help, Minseok allows himself to shed a tear.

Because loneliness is something that isn’t physical. It’s something that you can’t fix. Or perhaps you can, but Minseok doesn’t know how because even though Minseok knows a lot about the laws of his industry, he doesn’t know a lot about people.

And he doesn’t know how to learn.

Chapter 3: this is a very good story, and I need to read this again and again to be able to understand it fully, you have used too much logic, that even though how advance my mind is, I can't quiet get the message behind your words, but all in all, it's good

Chapter 1: I'm gonna react about the author's note:

whaaa? they hate our baozi? don't they know how baozi hits high notes accurately? except jongdae still gets the main vocal

*walks out* ^_^ and I love the first chapter ^O^

Chapter 3: what would happen if minseok gave lu han some reactions of his idea of leaving? the three chinamen wouldn't be leaving them right? but the whole story would turn out to be different because the main point of this is minseok is too scared to scream whatever he has on his mind.
it just hurts because it's too late for him to realize everything.
omg i really hope this doesn't happen to minseok's real life.
and and i wish you good luck for the competition. you portray the emotion in a very good way!!!
