I've read this story once before and I'm back again since finding out that you've recently updated. The last time I read it I didn't have livejournal account so I think I left some lame anonymous comment on Part Four (maybe?) but this time I'm going to leave a comment after every chapter. This story is resounding in it's truthfulness and it almost physically hurts me to read this, imagining what these boys had to go through to be together, but I'll get to that when it comes.
Part Zero is well-written and clear and so clean in the details, it almost reflects the simplicity of life that Donghae is now living. There is no bed creaking anymore, no one stirring from sleep, there are only the sounds that he makes. There is sadness and loneliness but no regret or pain (apart from his old bones), which is beautiful in a way. The image you paint of the home and the chipped mug and the rain-striped window panes is almost too easily seen, even with only words, that it makes me nervous to move forward. I expect my heart will be broken by this story but that's okay, I will let it be.
I'll thank you up front for writing this because it really gives a realistic view of what could be, whether it's Donghae and Eunhyuk or anyone else. This is a wonderful story and I'm so glad you're writing it.
