It was a lovely day like always and I was alone wandering in the forest. I was getting ready to visit my favorite place an hour ago when I was attending a concert by my favorite idol. In a matter of time, I left my buddies behind in the concert as soon as it finished, knowing the idol wouldn't stay here a bit either. The sky wore pink hues in the ample of time since I left the stadium. The birds were chirping. They were coming back to their place. The lush green blanket on the ground and the cold breeze were a beautiful combination. It was so cold in the forest, so I wore an ample amount of clothes before I came to the concert itself. I wore a turtle neck full-sleeved sweatshirt, followed by pants, and a long coat and shoes. Simple but warm.
As I walked a bit more for a few minutes the site of a beautiful lake took my breath away. The lake was round, not perfectly round, but fairly round. There was a cliff exactly behind it. The pink sky was sparkling in the water. Beautiful flowers were blooming. Some fish were playing and hopping around. As I looked at the lake I felt at ease. All the pain and suffering were gone at that peculiar moment, making me feel so light. I don't know why but it has become my routine to come here every day in the evening. Maybe because it's the way I feel light. The feeling of being light is addictive, or it's just an excuse. The excuse I gave myself so I could see him. Or perhaps stalking him is the correct way to say it, I said and chuckled at my idiotic behavior of expressing my little crime.
He is the person I admire the most. And I feel proud that I am the only person who can admire him this closely. I came here to see that charming face again and again. I don't have control over myself. It's not my fault, I said to myself as I chuckled again at the way I was justifying my wrongdoings.
I found this place a half year ago while I was running in the woods. At that time, I wanted to end all my miseries, but the lake took my breath away with all my miseries itself. It's been 6 months now. I am getting scolded by my big brother for six months straight. Big brother always scolded me for coming late but he didn't say much except why are you late again? Don't you know it's not safe outside, and just like that, he repeats the same sentences for an hour. He doesn't stay with us for long as he studies abroad, so I let him scold me. Anyway, it's not like he hated me... too, I trailed as I kept walking. So it's fine I thought to myself. I am having a conversation with myself, I thought and signed on to the thought of how lonely I am.
My buddy always handles the situation for me, cause I told him the reason. But he always gets angry cause I never tried to talk with that guy, when I wanted to. Hell, I was dying to have a conversation with him.
Do you expect me to go and talk to my crush without sluttering? Hell nah! That's not going to happen. I don't get an adrenaline boost from my body to do that. I get enough adrenaline to stand here and stalk him in this forest where I suppose he lives.
Though I don't know why he lives near this lake. That lake was pretty deep, and swimming was banned for safety purposes because of the cliff behind it. Its height was no joke so there were lots of suicide incidents at this eye-pleasing place. The lake is called Mystery Lake. I don't even know the reason why.
But I am really glad I came across this place. This place didn't drag my mind out of my problems but also gave me hope. Yes, I hope I didn't have one before I came here. Anyway, I know this place allows me, and only me to come in and no one else, so I feel sad for my buddies. I know my two besties will adore this place just like I do.
"Now where is my heart?", I muttered under my breath while looking around. I was looking around to find that person for whom I came here in the first place. But he wasn't here today. He was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did he go?", I muttered as a sign escaped my wobbly lips. I missed him so much my sweet little heart thought he was not little. I thought and shrugged my head in defeat.
Just before leaving, I decided to glance at the lake one last time for the day. As I turned around and looked at the lake from bottom to top my eyes popped out of my eye sockets so a piece of meat was pumping the blood came out of my chest.
I gasped as my beats started to pound like hell. "What the fuck!", I retorted. I was scared. No! I was terrified. My legs went jelly I stood there like a damm idiot statue.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! You can't lose it now. Come on, Move", I said to myself as my thoughts started to make their move. Acting on that thought immediately I dashed toward the cliff as fast as I could.
The path towards the cliff was not rocky but it was not smooth either. I fucking need to climb that slop. I felt a lump in my throat as I started to feel less and less air in my ribcage.
"No, no, no, no, I can't let this happen in my presence", I whisper to myself while ignoring the need to take a break to catch my breath. Suddenly that pink sky started to change its colour just the way my thoughts were changing their path.
If he jumps, I am jumping too, I saw a thought passing from my consciousness to the subconscious. I didn't stop to admire any tree in the way or any tiny animal I came across. I didn't even know how beautiful the path was as I ran towards the cliff. Maybe I crushed some of the beautiful flowers beneath me but do I care about it right now? Nah absolutely not.
When I reached there I heard his sobs and screams. Hearing him like this broke my broken self more. The voice I always hear, peaceful and happy, sounds depressed, sad, and broken. So many emotions were piled up in the pit of my stomach but the strongest one was rage. I was angry at my heart. The sole reason why the chunk of meat beating inside my body is the person standing in front of me. My heart!
"Why? Why? Why?..." He screamed as he trailed and continued, "Just why this world can't accept me the way I am. Why?" he breathed out as a sob escaped his wobbly lips. "I am going to end this today I can't bear it anymore," I heard him scream. He was breaking down. His last sentence made my eyes go wide and the piece of meat started to pump blood rapidly. I was still working on catching my breath. It took me half an hour to climb this shit when the path to this cliff is simple And small despite its height. I gathered whatever amount of air I could hold in, and took a deep breath.
"Will it be over if you jump off the cliff?", I asked him shakily and breathed out as I continued to gasp for air.
It's been 6 months now. I just don't get it why? I don't get why I am suffering. I don't get why that incident happened in the first place. This ugly thing I have on my face, I need to get rid of it. But I can't. I tried to consult doctors, but alas, it was no use. According to them, if I touch this piece of Jewellery, I will die. It's the worst, isn't it? I don't want to die but I don't want to live my life like this either. What a pity. Why can't people accept me just like that? Why do I look ugly when I think I look likable with it? I signed with the feeling of defeat sinking in my bones. I couldn't sleep again. It's kind of my routine. Waking up in the middle of the night panting and feeling like someone is choking me so much smoke. The nightmare which I don't remember is my only connection to my lost memories.
The event is over and my crew hasn't packed everything. Now it's time to go home from this suffocating place, I thought and sighed. I didn't waste any time getting in the car and started driving. The crew is always dumbfounded by my actions. Other idols might stay there and interact with fans a bit or with the media but none. I am always ready to run home.
I don't know but I felt something strange inside my heart that caused my mark to glow unknowingly in front of my fans today. The last concert was fine. This happened six months ago once and now again. I never thought they would look at me with disgust in their eyes. I was going to perform for a bit, but I guess I need to leave soon. Cause, these fans are crazy. I think they think I did some sort of surgery and installed the lighting system inside my body. Even if it's possible, I will never harm my body, I thought as I kept driving. Driving toward my place, my forest, my tree house. I don't know why, but somehow, that forest feels like mine.
My fans do adore me as an idol, but they call me a monster. Maybe not all of my fans, I thought and shrugged my head. "I am not a monster!" I yelled while driving away to my place. "I am not", I mumble as tears start to fall from my eyes, making my vision blur.
I stopped my car in front of my treehouse. Right! I don't even have a family to whom I can pour my heart. I thought as the bitterness of the thought started to sink deep inside my bones.
Then I glanced at the beautiful lake in front of me. I don't even know why I live near this lake. I thought and signed again. I am signing too much these days.
Soon without realizing he started to walk toward the cliff. Like he was possessed by someone. He didn't even gaze at how beautiful today's view was. The sky was clear and coated with a blue hue. He also ignored his favorite flowers, which had bloomed after so long. He also didn't see the squirrel sitting near the front door of his house waiting for me to give her a piece of bread or cake. She likes it a lot.
I would have given her my agony if she could feed herself on someone else's darkness, I thought and sighed again. Maybe it's the 50th time I am signing or 100! I lost the count as if I was counting it in the first place. I didn't feel like painting today. And that was painful as the painting was the happiest moment in my life. I had so many paintings at my place and I sold them at a good price too. They are the source of my tuition fees for my schooling. It took a few minutes to let my surroundings sink inside my body. When I realized about it, I was on a cliff.
"Right! No one can survive a fall. Cause Mystery Lake takes them inside to end their misery", I mumbled as I kept looking towards the cliff. My treehouse didn't look like a house from a distance. It looked like a massive tree. There is just a tree, no house in there but a massive big tree. I felt like this forest was crying as the sky started to turn reddish. It lost its pink hue, and bright red started to take its place. It felt like this forest didn't want me to leave this soon. That made me smile a bit. At least Forest doesn't want me to die. But that was not enough for me to change my mind. I sighed in defeat. I was defeated by myself. Tiredly I gave up on my pathetic life.
"I don't even have reason to hold on to my pathetic life, so let me go," I screamed while panting as a lone tear rolled down my cheeks, giving me a reality check of my pathetic life. The reality was there was no one to console me and wipe my tears. They made me feel less and less and, kept my emotions inside. Rarely like this, lone tears skip on their own, but I keep all my emotions inside no matter what, I thought as I drifted back into the chain of my thoughts again.
"Why? Why? Just why this world can't accept me the way I am. I am going to end this today. I can't bear it anymore", I screamed again as I felt I was choking on my emotions. I was overwhelmed because of my own emotions, my thoughts, and my nightmares.
"Will it be over if you jump off the cliff", I heard a voice making my heart skip. Someone just scolded me! I exclaimed to myself as my facial expressions also changed. His voice was filled with concern. It was not a manly voice, but it sure belonged to the guy. I never thought I could meet someone at this place. Since my parents died I didn't have any friends and no one can find this place either. I don't know why. Who was he, I wondered and turned around hurriedly wanting to see the person who just scolded me.
"I asked, WILL IT BE OVER IF YOU JUMP FROM THIS CLIFF?", He yelled. He used a tummy voice to yell with all his might. His forehead got all scratchy as the anger grabbed his place on his face. As I gazed at him I realized his looks were extremely breathtaking and they took my breath away. As I didn't give him any answer he screamed at me again.
I flinched at the sudden loud sound. I started to panic because there were lots of beasts around this lake. Though they didn't do anything to me for some reason in the case of Blond I can't guarantee his safety, I thought as my brain drifted to the dream world as if whatever happened right now was my hallucination.
For the first time in my life, I was nervous. My heart was beating at a fast pace due to nervousness. And I was damn sure I lost my sane. Finally, you lost your nut you idiot, I thought as I scolded myself inside my brain. But my silence was fueling his anger. And it was not a bit helpful for him or me.
"Answer me, Mr. Jeon Jungkook", he yelled again making me come out of my thoughts. He knows me! He knows me yet he is here to scold me? I tilted my head as I kept staring at him, dumbfounded!
While staring at him I nearly lost in his beauty. Blond hair, pink tone skin probably due to running. His nose stayed flared as he kept staring at me. His lips looked plum and the way he licked it was super hot. His waist is a delicacy. I wonder how he will look, I trialed as I felt my thoughts were getting wild.
Am I really Jeon Jungkook? I feel like a pervert. Damm get a grip idiot, I thought and shook my head finally and looked into his dazzling orbs. He just stood there and stared at me blankly.
"What about me then? ", I heard his angelic voice again. His voice was shaking with so much fear.
Fear? Did I feel it right? What's he afraid of? My thought process got interrupted by another wail.
"You were the reason I was holding on to my pathetic life Jungkook. The life in which my mom and dad didn't even love me cause..."
He trails as his voice shakes again. Why?
"Cause I suddenly developed... Wait! Why should I tell my story to someone who wants to end his life", he yelled again making me jump a bit. This time his voice came so strong.
He came forward. I was looking at each step trying to figure out what he was up to. He came and grabbed my hand and dragged me a bit forward. And I unknowingly let him drag. My mark started to glow.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I started to panic internally as I tried to hide it instantly. But he didn't say anything about it.
I saw him glancing at this jewel on my forehead. He took several peaks then why? Why his face didn't show any sigh of disgust, I thought as I kept hiding my piece of jewel.
God this mark makes me go crazy. I feel like... I feel like I want him inside me. I want him to make me feel how full I can get, I thought as I couldn't resist pecking. So gazed at him lustfully only to frown at him for hiding it with so much embarrassment in his eyes.
"Don't tell me Jungkook you were going to jump because of that beautiful mark of yours?" I retorted as I gazed at the mark by forcing his hand down. It was breathtaking. The purple piece of jewel on his forehead felt breathtaking. He looked breathtaking in it. His black heirs were disoriented and a few bangs were landing on his forehead. Before I admired him more he replied hesitantly. "Oh! No... No why would I..."
His reply made more frowns settle on my face instantly. "Wow! You were! You... Seriously!!", I sigh in frustration. I smacked Jungkook's forehead and said "Hya! That mark is not the reason you should end your life. You should love yourself..." This time I got interrupted with a loud growl but I ignored it.
Shit! They are here. I don't know if their population is increasing day by day. Are they mating? Fuck that's not the main concern right now. I feel like those beasts are angry cause someone smacked my forehead, I thought as he grabbed my attention again with his sweet honey-dipped voice. Suggesting me to reply.
"Can't you answer me without getting distracted?", I asked irritatingly as Jungkook kept going back in his head and talking with himself when I was standing in front of him. He flinched in my sentence and started to walk towards me dangerously. His orbs which looked like despair now looked like a death. His aura turned black making me stand in my place with fear. My legs could've moved if I wanted to but they were glued to the ground because of how badly I was shaking.
"You don't even know how it feels when people look down on you. When they see you as a monster" Jungkook stated darkly making me laugh like a maniac on it.
He is laughing? Is he crack head? Who laughs in this situation?, I thought as I clenched my feast so ready to break his nose.
"What's so funny? Who will love this mark on my forehead which glows purple out of blue? I don't wanna die alone. I want to get married and..." I got interrupted as he burst into laughter again. "You!" He exclaimed and laughed again as if it was beyond his control but his laugh somehow mocked me like dud your pain is nothing.
"You think no one will marry you because of that mark?" He said and laughed again. Unknowingly I growled like a fucking animal I was shocked but I decided I will deal with myself later.
"Just by seeing your mark, I feel horny. I want you inside me. I want you to make love with me, pound me as hard as you can. I want you to give me the feeling of getting full just by seeing your mark. I also don't know why. But You....", He stopped talking. Both of our eyes widened as the words started to sink into our souls.
Jungkook smiled a bit after hearing the confessions from an unknown person who was looking breathtaking in his eyes as his cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
Damm, I saw him smiling at me because of my confession. Damm, it's embarrassing. Why I said those things rather than telling him I love him the way he is, I thought as I started to scold myself internally.
But soon both of our wild smiles dropped as we heard two loud growls from behind. My blushed face went white as I turned to see the creature who made that sound. With one scream I lost everything and met the ground with a loud thud.
"Panthers!"
