Art and affogato

Description

"For you, in my respect, are all the world; Then how can it be said I am alone, When all the world is here to look on me?" - Midsummer Night's Dream

Foreword

jongdae could no longer find the happiness he once derived from his art.

he no longer had any source of joy from the activity he knew far too well to just abandon.

"Jongdae, promise you'll continue to draw " his mother smiled placing her fragile fingers on her lap.

"These," she says pointing to her sons hands."are miracles jongdae."

"umma don't be silly" he chuckled softly as he felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"listen to me jongdae!" she raises her voice which startled the young boy.

"Jongdae, you can create what ever you want with the touch of your finger tips. You can tell a story with a of a paintbrush..

don't let your talent go to waste my dear .Make friends , have fun , fall in love . Don't give up jongdae" she her sons cheek wishing she could be with him forever as her eyes fluttered closing for one last time.

jongdae who was 18 at the time felt numb.

he'd just lost his best friend.

his mother.

 

For the next 3 years jongdae attended art classes and made some friends like she had told him to because he felt it was the only way to live on with his mothers memory.

but how was he to create something beautiful once again when she his muse was gone?

who could even compare to the love and affection of the one who raised him

Chapter 4: I know you see this as a filler chapter but I feel this has changed my perspective of Jongdae's character and his chance meeting with Minseok. Depression is never easy to write and describe so really, thank you for this chapter because you have described his depression simply but also deeply. The flow from his inability to draw to his depression and lastly, to that moment when he realized that there was something beautiful in the world enough for him to smile genuinely was really well done.

"He was Kim Jongdae. He was strong and brave and should be proud that he'd made it this far but the voices in his head told him he was selfish and a fool. That he was undeserving of happiness and he believed every single last word of it"
I really really really love this. The emotional and mental struggles that he goes through is heartbreaking but I hope Minseok will make him happy and make him believe that he is very deserving of happiness.

You should really continue writing because I can see that it makes you happy, or at least feel better so no matter what anybody says or how you are feeling, never stop. You don't even have to post it up, you can even write on paper napkins, just promise me that you will write anything that comes to your head.

I probably won't be commenting on every chapter but I will be reading all the chapters you post :)
