Perspective

Description

"One more day," he said five days ago. 

"Just stay a little longer," he said twelve days ago. 

"These are only to keep you safe," he insisted as he wrapped the splintered rope around my wrists. 

Foreword

“But even when I stop crying, even when we fall asleep and I'm nestled in his arms, this will leave another scar. No one will see it. No one will know. But it will be there. And eventually all of the scars will have scars, and that's all I'll be--one big scar of a love gone wrong.”

Chapter 1: After reading throughout the comments, I began to understand the great plot and it's characters.

The author is fabulous with their words though (you're like the Shakespeare of the 21st century!), I wish to be more like them. ;)

Chapter 1: I know that a lot of readers are confused about this, which is understandable, but, in a way I kind of understood it, and NOT understood it at the same time. I'm thinking since this IS through LuHans perspective, that something happened to him prior to this whole Kai kidnapping situation. LuHan more than likely developed psychological problems. It made me think of an American movie called Identity except in reverse roles lol, with LuHan fabricating this whole Kai charachter and the more than probable hallucinations he has throughout the story; him thinking he's being held hostage, but when he tries to leave sees that he can more than freely move about without complications. Anyway, so for LuHans mind to have come up with this whole scenario, something psychologically traumatic must have caused for him to think up Kai when in reality it is JongIn.
JongIn knowing all this, is trying to keep Lu from harming himself, and others. That is why we see *read* that he's tied from his wrists, albeit, not tightly. So LuHans thought process is interpreting the situation as him being kidnapped, and that he can't possibly escape and do anything to ""save"" himself, that's why when he says 5, 12 days had passed and he was grown weaker and bony, it's because he's probably not eating as much as he should be when Kai(JongIn) feeds him food; and also, not understanding why this ""stranger"" is telling him he loves him, is beyond him, but in a way, I think he knows why, but can't put 2 and 2 together since his reality has already been altered in his mind.

Oh man, I think I'm going too deep into a story I didn't even write LOL; but this is a bit of what I think has happened. And by the way, just, good story. I really love psychological ""thrillers"". I love thinking about the what ifs, it's great. So please, if you don't mind, I think you should continue this story, but start from LuHan and JongIn's lives prior to this, and then go from there to the now. It can be like a 5 shot max.
