There's This One Thing...

Description

There's this one thing which keeps us going...

Recently discovered Block B and finding their characters and interactions with one another really intriguing, so along with my imagination I've embarked on a little exploration of what might be their motivations, thoughts and impressions of the crazy pop world they don't quite seem to fit into. Hopefully I'll be able to make this up to a seven part epic, one for each of them.

Foreword

To explain in a little more detail: What really attracts me to Block B isn't their music so much as the fact that they perfectly fit the profile of the rag-tag bunch of misfits made good. They don't seem like other idols, and they don't fit that mould. I'm very interested in the mechanics of that industry, and what it must seem like from the inside, especially to people like Zico and Kyung who have experience in other areas of the music industry. I want to know what they think about it: what living like that is like, how they deal with it, what about it and what it is that keeps them involved. So naturally I returned to my roots and wrote a bunch of fanfiction about it.

This is that fanfiction. Enjoy! I welcome all comments and discussion if you think I've got something out of character (as I say, only a very recent convert).

Chapter 7: This fic creates emotions I didn't even know I could feel

omg, this is amazingly written, with great character interpretation. I just can't. Bruh, this was so good and ugh

Man, I always thought block b was the 'real-est' idol group out there. They're not pretty boys, they write their own music, they've been through countless in the music industry but are still going strong.

Interesting... I think that I'm not the only who think that they do not fit the typical 'idol' image. I'm not saying that its bad but this story is well written that I almost believe this is their real story lol. but anyway, I have to agree on this. I really love block b for being real. I love how you explain the friendship among the members. All in all, I enjoy reading this. Good work! :)

This is only a suggestion but have you thought of doing this kind of fanfic with other groups? I really like this kind of story. I wish to read this type of fanfic with other bands.... ^^

I'm a bad reader who not love to write the comment after reading cause I'm so in term of writing and don't know how to explain my feeling in form of words
but your story make me to say something
this story is running up to the list of best block-b fiction I've ever read
I feel like you reading my mind and write everything down.. this is how I feel about them. (maybe not in some part but most it is)

Jaehyo's part made me tear up. My friend and I always tease about 'what's Jaehyo for this group?' (it's just a joke.. we all love him) but sometimes it made me worried about what he will think, lack of air-time, lack of line in the song, not good as Taeil, dance worst, not visual of the group... I'm afraid he will be sick of it. And your story like the answer for me. His existent is important.

You're our beautiful flower, hyung - And you're the dirt I'm standing in // I really wanna quote them again and again.

other parts are perfect. Jihoon is my sunshine who love his hyung more than anything. Zikyung's more-than-friend-but-not-lover relationship always make me squeal. U-kwon and his girlfriend (I'll support them forever), Stoic Minhyuk, little taeillie (Taeil's part almost make me cry too, I'm sensitive about disband thing)

I wanna comment longer than this but like I've said, I'm and this all I can. orz
thanks for writing this great story. i'll be a fan of you. lol

this gave me so many different feelings that i actually had to stop reading half-way through the chapters to take a break and sort my life out hahaha. this was so pleasant to read, especially because, just like block b themselves, you show every person having various dynamics and relationships within the group - it reminded me that they're still human, and they go through things just like us. it's kind of easy to forget that when they're on tv performing strong routines and laughing and smiling and just being adorable.

i especially enjoyed zico's and minhyuk's; the former because his personality was so on point that it almost felt like it was him talking (and the smidgens of zikyung gkdljgdk) and minhyuk because (as a faithful stan of him) i just really, absolutely love that he's seen as some silent entity but is, in actual fact, probably one of the toughest members.

okay yeah this review is getting just a tad bit long. so i'll wrap it up with a sincere thank you for shedding some light on the boys' feelings and problems and general awesomeness.
