The day Jonghyun was sent off, the whole world paused for many of us.
Those of us who couldn't attend a vigil, or visit his funeral hall, sent him off on our own. Perhaps with a candle, or perhaps with just a few words and heavy breath.
At the funeral, the prayers and well wishes were received.
Throughout the world, fans felt their hearts lift to their throats, and as they blew out their candles, the smoke and breath rose up, and carried their messages of hope and comfort, grief and persistence.
And in the sky, the boy with Angel wings listened,
and he heard.
And the wings on his back rose up, mimicking the growing smile on his lips.
He was home. And from this new place, he found happiness. He was sorry to leave them, but hearing that they understand, it helped him be relieved. He finally relaxed back into his new life, watching over his friends.
And wishing to tell his friends on earth that he was sent off well, he followed his spirit to the moon, and he asked that for one night, it could change colours.
And we listened,
and we heard.

I wrote this to feel better, I hope it will make you feel better too.
If it seems that I'm supporting suicide, you're mistaken. I hope it doesn't seem that way, because suicide is a tragic thing and I wish the concept of it never existed.
Reach out to friends, family, acquaintances, anyone, to ask how they're doing. If you see someone online that seems to need help, message them too. I promise you, it could really help. Even if you don't really know the person, it still means a lot.
Please, please stay strong, all of you. I guess it's a little late to tell you, since I took a break (I'm not back yet) after hearing the news... But still, I think it's always relevant. I hope you guys know that you have people who care about you. Please reach out if you're feeling bad. Message your friends, your family, even me.
I'll be here to listen. If this (wattpad DMs) doesn't work, message me about my other social medias. I hope you guys take this seriously, and ask for help when you need it. We don't want to lose another person that has so much left to experience and do. So please, find it in you to live.
I'm not back, as I'm still not ready, or okay, if I'm being honest. I hope that you'll wait for me. I just thought I should post this before I dwell too much on its quality. So, assuming, until I return, I wish you all the best.
