Paper Boat

Description

Just like a paper boat. He is drifting between the shadows and the light. He doesn’t know where the journey will lead nor where it will end.

 

warning this story will be:

cute yet very very sad after reading, slightly mentioned character dead, friendship,
If you are super sensibel like me than prepare tissues for the end!

It's not an angsty story it's actually a cute innocent one, however it changes once you read the end.

Foreword

Somewhere out there was a small boat with an invisible crew. Fighting together for the boat not to sink; against unseen creatures of the darkness made of nightmares and shattered dreams. The ship maintains its course to the other side of our shadows. And there was nothing that ever could harm it, because it was made of hope and trust.

It safely kept a lonely and sad secret, never meant to be seen by anyone.

Chapter 2: My dear, you seem to have a wonderful knack for dreamlike sequences and surreal settings. It's most intriguing to read and while I find myself initially confused, things do work themselves out in the end. I think these would hit harder if I did know the 2pm boys like you do, but I certainly found myself with a heavy heart and fighting tears by the end. It did take the epilogue and a second read through for everything to really come together, but once things settled into place, I was pretty much wonder struck by what you pulled together.

Your foreshadowing from the other characters was very well done and the little tidbits of information and reactions that you granted from the other members helps to solidify the situation when I went back through again. I'm not even mad about the twist at the end because you do give warning throughout, even if we don't immediately know why. The paper boat reference is quite lovely in a morbid and sad sense, and I was definitely wincing when you took into consideration some of how netizens would react in life. Ouch. T_T And probably not wrong either, which is the other depressing part.

While I felt bad for Chansung, I felt even worse for Minjun in particular. That would be harder than what Chansung was going through in my opinion. My only question is were they actually on a boat in some isolated place for 'sanity' sake or was that all a product of imagination? Otherwise, everything else I can puzzle out and piece together as intended (I think), which I found to be incredibly moving and, while not entirely a tragedy, very sad all the same. Still, you do leave us with a glimmer of hope for which I am grateful and it makes the end that much sweeter for the sorrow throughout.

Well done overall. A very beautiful piece indeed. ^_^

Chapter 2: aww *sniffle* at first i thought everyone was alive, trying to hide from channie that minjun had died. the comment about minjun's eyes being different only reinforced that idea. for me it was kind of a twist ending that minjun was the only one still alive :/

this is sad.

Chapter 2: I have nary a poetic bone in my body so I could never write anything like this. But that doesn't stop me from admiring someone who can. This was so dreamy and surreal and so very special.

Chapter 2: T_____T Yuan this is very much angsty...

the boys had an accident..and chansung and minjun are the only survivors ;_;

chanwoo conversations at first were so deep and cute..and I thought the boys were on some sort of vacation, but then things they said like letting chansung knows and what not unveils it...

;u; its sad and beautiful at the same time Yuan
