Summary
“I think I’m sick, hyung,” Minho whispered—Chan walked ahead, and gently rubbed Minho’s knuckles, going over the boxing scars as he did. “I don’t know what’s going on.”
“Try telling me.”
Minho exhaled sharply, taking a few moments to articulate what he wanted to say mentally. “It’s like… I feel so unenthusiastic about everything? I don’t know what’s happening—my metabolism has died and I don’t feel the taste of food in my mouth anymore. I—I’m trying not to exaggerate but everything feels so slow and agonizing. I can’t sleep and I can’t stay awake. I feel so… disassociated.”

Bookmarker's Notes
This broke me, everything felt so real. I'm breaking down as we speak.
So beautiful yet so tragic, I can feel the rawness of it all, how it came from the heart. It was strong of the author to push through their own struggles and write it out in such a meaningful way. I can't stress enough how much this story made me f e e l. There was no need for flowery nor poetic words, all there was were the genuine and raw emotions of it all.
Never have I felt so deeply immersed in a story. Rather than a fantastical story, it felt like an emotional retelling of reality. It all felt so natural, so real, it was without filter and was unapologetically gut-wrenching.The characterization and all their interactions felt natural. Just real people dealing with real emotions and living their lives.
I hope the author is doing better these days, I commend them and admire them so much for writing this.
I don't and never will regret reading this, it gave so much more depth to what it meant to feel depressed. While it's different for every person, this story has my favorite depiction of it.
