The Truth Untold (Taekook)
Sand Castle
The old castle on the hill that no one ever went to, the one where mothers used to scare children.
Yes, that castle that no one entered and everyone feared. The one they swore to was bewitched and guarded by the most fearsome of monsters. For a beast.
A monster lived there. A lonely monster. A monster, drowning in his sadness, in his bitterness and ugliness. A monster that was not like the others. One who had no family, no last name to wear.
Monster, who had neither a past to boast nor a present to enjoy.
A beast that did not know where it came from or where it was going. A monster who doesn't remember how he got to that castle, but it's not like it matters much either, because he didn't have someone to care about him.
Jungkook
I had no feeling. A monster, who knew nothing but sadness.
Jungkook
A monster, who knew nothing about love, and that monster was me.
Jungkook
Only since my memory allows me to remember, with no one around me.
Jungkook
And it's what I deserve. It's the only thing someone like me deserves.
Jungkook
I'm so ugly there's no name you can call me by.
Jungkook
I am that shoot of weeds in the garden, in this garden full of loneliness and thorns.
Jungkook
I am a monster, but for that, I wear a mask, so that not even the beautiful flowers that are born in this garden will observe me. I don't want them to see me because I'm scared. I am so afraid that they, like everyone else, will abandon me.
Jungkook
I'm so scared, so once again, I'm hiding in this sand castle.
lonely garden
Jungkook
Again surrounded by flowers. Again surrounded by loneliness.
Jungkook
I pat the moist soil once more trying to cover the seeds very well until I am satisfied with my new creation, because I know in advance that they will bloom beautifully. They always do it.
Jungkook
I get up, ready to go as the stars begin to make their appearance in the sky, until the sound of crisp autumn grass is present.
Jungkook
I freak out and tighten my mask even tighter, like it's the only thing I can hold on to.
Jungkook
Although that is my truth, because that mask is the only thing that helps me get out of this reality. The only one that makes me feel like another person. That makes me forget my cowardice and my ugliness.
Jungkook
The only one, until I saw you.
Jungkook
I saw you there, hidden in the bushes, with a blue coat and the hood covering your entire face.
Jungkook
You were that beautiful exotic bud among my thorny garden.
Jungkook
You enlightened me, you smiled at me. And the only thing I could do was run away.
that young blue
Jungkook
Every day at six in the evening I could see your shiny hair crossing the river.
Jungkook
Always with your blue coat covering your milky skin and a basket hanging from your left arm.
Jungkook
Why did you keep coming even after seeing me?
Jungkook
I ran downstairs to peek out the back window and see some more of you. I couldn't get out, I couldn't because I was a coward and I just didn't have the courage to approach you.
Jungkook
I used to have the thought that all people are like flowers.
Jungkook
Some durable and others that wither at the slightest touch.
Jungkook
Some pink and some red.
Jungkook
But you, young blue, I have not found a flower that resembles you. Because the beauty of a flower was incomparable until you came to steal its place. Until you came to steal my flowers and my heart on the way.
Jungkook
You took all the flowers that your basket allowed and you left, but not before looking back and looking through the same window in which I was hiding.
Jungkook
You knew I was there watching you and yet, despite this silly mask I'm wearing, you smiled at me again.
