Foreword

"You're stupid."

"You don't try hard enough."

"You are a disgrace."

"You're a freak."

"You're a burden."

"You're worthless."

"Why are you even alive?"

 

Those phrases had become so common to her.  Some from her peers, others from her family

Her one escape from the pain:  music.

Plugging in her earphones, sitting at a piano, or singing her heart out.

She swallowed the hurtful words and let them sit in her heart.  She never breathed a word about it.  She sat quietly through all the mental pain and torture.  She absorbed it.

When asked, she was fine.

But no one saw it.

No one saw the bottled up torrent of emotions that were ripping her apart from the inside.

It's almost funny what a fake smile and a simple, two-worded phrase can hide.

When the bottle finally breaks and everything comes crashing down,

it seems like even music won't be able to save her this time.

That's when he decides to do something about it.

A two-shot in which she is in the dark and he decides to be her light.

A story of a broken soul and the one who decides to heal it.

A tale of the power of music, friendship, and love.

WARNING:  This story does contain triggers.  If anyone feels uncomfortable about that, PLEASE SKIP TO THE SECOND CHAPTER.

The inspiration for this two-shot came from a song that saved ME when I was falling down my own black hole.  To this day, I know that I will never be able to thank SHINee enough for what they did for me through their music.

All rights to this story go to me.  Anything similar is JUST a coincidence.  I'm pulling this idea out of my own head.

Please do not disrepect it by plagarizing.

Chapter 2: Dude!

My heart hurts T^T....
Stop doing this to me >.<

But seriously, why must you kill me with your stories >.<
In all seriousness, my heart is still hurting... </3
I had so many flashback while reading this that it is scaring me....
IDK what tone I should use for the comment....
Meh.
So, since this was based off of your life, (which you don't know how much it scares me to death) who's your special boy, huh?
When I saw the second chapter, I was like HEY LOOK! That's that one poster that I made that one time! That brings back memories~ XD
Honestly, one of the scenes from your story reminded me of the time that /I believe/ we actually became close friends <3 IDK if you're thinking of the same moment or not... but anyways~

Is it sad that at the beginning of the second chapter I started laughing at the way Jonghyun talked to Misun's mom? XP And I literally had this face (-_-) the entire time while reading your author's note at the end, because I actually have a friend that I'm really close with who does VERY similar things no matter what I say to her.

I had so many other things I wanted to comment on while reading the story, but it was so good that I couldn't stop~ (plus you know I should be doing other stuff XP) so I forgot everything.... TAT

Don't make my heart hurt anymore! And that's not just about stories!
But also make sure to continue writing super awesome stories~ <3
And I really do love your writing style no matter what you think of it!
And.... uhhhh... I'm legit just writing everything I'm thinking.... sorta XP
Um...... You better not still be doing this to yourself! If you ever respond to me with "I'm fine", I'm going to call you out on it!
You better start realizing how much you actually affect the lives of other people! And also know that you are a very VERY /precious/ person. <3
And never let other people's comments make you forget that! <3
And just how you are there for all these other people, you have to know that I'm here for you~ <3 saranghae <3
