I really liked this. The imagery and the subtle contrasts between the paras about crying and smiling are lovely. Like with your other work, I wish this was longer :)
thanks a lot! :) I have several longer stories that I'm working on, but it seems that when my pieces of fiction gain length, they loose quality. So I'm still struggling with that~
You have some serious drabble writing talent! The style is awesome, where yo have a split between the times Jiyong feels like crying for no reason and the times he feels like smiling for no reason and Seunghyun always being there for him doing the right things. I really like the atmosphere here too and there's some beautiful lines. 'Jiyong closes his eyes and let's them haunt him until morning.'
Maybe drabble-writing is my only 'talent' though, because once I start writing longer stuff the quality goes way below point zero. :'D (Which is also painfully obvious in the chaptered story I'm trying right now. I think it's because I start focussing more on describing what is happening and loose sight of characterisation and general moody-ness and everything that makes fiction tasty.)
Ack, LOL I have the same problem but the opposite! I have problems more with the plot though which is probably worse! :3 I always feel like describing their characters and the atmosphere. I'm gonna scoot over and read your chaptered story haha. I'm sure your fic is delicious - writers are always the biggest self-critics! ;)
Feel free to tear it down after reading, I can use the critique! (And don't worry, being dutch & being an art student taught me to handle a whole bunch of that painfully honesty-stuff)
