(1) three years ago out of nowhere one of my mutuals randomly got into SHINee and I saw Jonghyun and was immediately like the eyes emoji because of how cute he was. He was literally always smiling and cracking up falling over the rest of SHINee every time I saw him and I liked him so much that I was like "let me start listening to this SHINee" group and I liked a lot of their songs. I liked them a lot but 1 of 1 era really reminded me of why they were so special
(2) I was having a really rough time adjusting to college and “1 of 1” really made me feel so perfect and happy during a hard time. Jonghyun’s voice was so beautiful and I could always feel my heart leap when he sang. He was literally my dream guy - a sweetheart who spoke out against social inequality, a dog lover, a sensitive guy who was always so respectful and generous and who loved his family so much and never took anything for granted.(3) He is my ultimate bias in Kpop because of how unique and special he was. Even the songs that he wrote but didn’t sing (“Playboy,” “Already, etc.) had such a strong Jonghyun vibe to them. I was a fierce SHINee loyalist at first but soon started listening to other groups too and even though I have a ton of other biases, no one could compare to him. And no one ever will. I can feel the empty place in my heart where he was but I know now that he’s somewhere by the moon in peace, still smiling.
(4 + end) I’ve finally stopped crying for the first time all day and am just trying to focus on my finals because I know he wouldn’t have wanted me to spend all of my day crying over him. I remember last year waiting all day for the "Lonely” MV to drop and crying over it outside of my sociology classroom omg. I’m sure he knows how much we all love him and how deeply he will be missed, but unfortunately depression can take even the most loved people. I hope he knows he’s in my thoughts always.
send me memories of jonghyun, lets remember him happily together
