Description
Byun Baekhyun was an accomplished person. Always getting straight As in high school, enrolled in the best university, and graduated as one of the top students. All seemed to be going extremely well for him, and no one would disagree that he had a bright future.
But the consequences of being an over-achiever eventually caught up with him. Baekhyun couldn't handle the ups and downs in his life and fell into depression, and was gradually convinced that he himself was a mistake.
There was only one person that stayed by his side throughout his degration, and that person was Kim Jongdae. He often told Baekhyun to believe in himself, and kept the small hope inside Baekhyun alive. He loved Baekhyun more than anything else in the world, and he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice himself for him.
However, is mere love ever going to be enough for a helpless case of depression?
Foreword
Life is beautiful, they say.
Art is beautiful, they say.
On this lonely balcony, no one was there for his pain. He remembered what Jongdae always told him.
"You are more beautiful than art."
A drop of tear fell. It froze before hitting the ground, then shattered into a thousand pieces of hopeless screams.
No one would be there in time anymore.
