eraser 一 kth [2]

the weather is quite nice, it seems to welcome me.

the sun is shinning its warming rays, it balances out the cold that i've received.

along with the recruitment of the of the bright colors and chatter of the passersby walking from store to store and stand to stand, the day seems too happy.

however not me. but it's okay because i walk by unnoticed, blending in the crowds of people as my way of escape.

funny how the sky is clear while my mind is clouded and blurry.

i became livid learning everything and was suppose to accept everything, but i can't accept it.

jiwoo is the only one for me. no one else but her.

my heart beats for her. my mouth smiles for her. i care for her, loving her so much.

i didn't know where my feet would take me, but i didn't care. the breeze outside is a breath of fresh air.

my feet end up leading me to a park that i don't recognize. unlike other parks, this park was toned down much more compared to the rest. there's not a lot of people here.

the playground further to the left is occupied by only two little kids, playing as their parents watch. there's also a faint image of a group of friends in the distance.

the sight of the park brings strange feelings but they are soon pushed away when a stand i don't remember seeing catches my eye.

magic oracle: see your future, the sign read.

how life must be wonderful that people even have time to perform hoaxes.

"young man! come get your fortune read!" the lady, late thirties at most, from the stand exclaims.

i politely shake my head with my hands gesturing to the fact that i don't want to, but then i find myself dragged by the lady. she pulls me over to her stand.

"it's okay. i don't want to get my fortune read."

"you'll regret it if you don't," she warns, "i see a person full of youth, a bright sun," she slowly continues.

i pause, keeping still and to myself.

the lady takes this as a sign to continue and proceeds to do so.

"one day the moon came. the sun made the moon shine. when the moon shines, the earth does not get its blue sky instead that place on the earth gets a dark navy blue. now, now, the new color was not bad. it was a new world. as time passed, new areas of the earth experienced the newfound navy. the earth that was home to the sun gets used to the moon. the sun and moon together found balance with what was now their earth."

the story brings a weird emotion but i don't decline her offer to carry on.

"the earth needed the sun. the earth needed the moon. the moon needed the sun as much as the sun needed the moon in its world, what it's trying to protect, the earth. but one day, the moon is gone. it works no more. the world is put out of balance. the sun cannot handle it anymore more. it needed the moon, the one that was gone forever."

the story intrigues me. i don't understand why.

"what happened to the sun? what happened to its earth?" i ask.

"why, why. aren't you quite interested now? alright though. the sun exploded. its world now an even bigger havoc. but do you know what? time passed and another sun emerged. with the sun, an even different wonder appeared. much like the deceased moon, it balanced the sun's world."

"i don't understand. there can't be another moon. how can there be another moon."

"anything is possible if you are the sun to your world, the earth. after all, don't you prefer the second time around moon? you wish for her. you long for her."

"what? what are you talking about?"

"don't play dumb. the girl. you miss the girl. your world is the earth. it's put off balance. don't you know?"

oh, i know very much of my wrecked world, but it's not possible for someone to know this. not possible for a stranger to hit the core so hard. how can some hoax say words that seep so deep inside.

don't let this weird person get to you, taehyung. she's making this all up. she isn't talking about you because she doesn't know anything about you.

"you know what? you're just a crazy lady. you don't know anything about me. you're just making this story up in hopes it gets to me. you don't know my world." i decide.

"i know you wish for many. i know you wish for lots!"

"no. no, i don't," i lie to the lady as i started to walk away, strange curiosity erupting inside. dying to understand more.

"dreams come true!" i faintly hear, my quick strides having taken me quite a bit away.

when i look back,

glancing at the place in the distance where i walked away from,

the lady is no more.

i have a lot of scissors stuff in this chapter- but i haven't wrote this story in awhile and

i guess what happened here might be a bit confusing- whoops-

even i don't know what's going on and once again i've feel like i strayed. i've ruined the story.

but anyway- questions dropped are questions answered

so feel free to ask if things are confusing
