(death tw, suicide tw) jonghyun was meant to announce his solo comeback in january at inspired when the concerts took place. it was written on the prompter for him to read: “i will make a comeback in january of next year”. however, he skipped reading this line. it is said that “환상통 (only one you need)” was the last gift jonghyun prepared for fans. “환상통” means “phantom pain”. jonghyun introduced the song by saying: “i made this song to tell someone not to be sad when they are in pain, when a person you love is gone.” (source: iheartshinee_ / oh_mes)

I've lived the way I wanted to. I've walked the road the way I imagined it.
