Episode 4
He pulled up his car in front of a toy Store.
My eyes lit up with those pink beautiful dolls displayed, teddy bears and unicorns but when we went inside my dad picked me up only to walk into the boys section and ask which one of those ugly toy car I wanted. But my eyes were fixed on that pink dressed doll standing in a showcase.
Baby Taehyung
I want that doll.
I announced with a pout and everyone in the store paused doing whatever they were doing and gasped as if I just peed in their lawns.
Staring at me with their wide eyes until my dad processed a nervous grin and hesitantly dashed out of the place with me.
Kim Dae-Shim
Taehyung-ahh, how many times do I have to explain to you, buddy?
And my dad's lecture didn't even end when we were at home.
Kim Dae-Shim
Boys don't play with dolls.
He emphasized while tucking me in bed. It was night and my bedroom was boring blue and grey with greens. I don't know why my dad thought I loved dinosaurs, alligators and Hulk.
He read me a boring superman comic but I had a smile to him because his voice was so angelic. I closed my eyes to sleep and he pecked my forehead and wished me a 'good night', switching the lights off as he walked out.
And then I heard him going to his room to sleep, my time to meet my friend starts.
My dad was a really caring father but the poor thing used to work his ass off to make us have food three times a day. He barely had time for me, since there were no concepts to give children a phone or internet. I kept myself busy into a different world that was only in my baby head.
I picked up a beautiful black book with purple and silver detailings from under my bed. I had begged my dad to have it from a newspaper shop because it was so shiny. It wasn't in a new Condition but still it was so beautiful to me. The only shiny thing I owned.
The title had a beautiful mythical folklore painting. In the painting, there was a beautiful young boy with his blonde hair wearing a white baby dress shirt under brown jeans rompers and a taller man having dark long demonic horns over his black haired head, in a black long coat over his all black suit.
His eyes had no eyeballs but a black space in his beautiful eyes staring back at the boy having his smiling lips stitched with long black stitches. Offering a dead sparrow to the boy by his hand open to the boy.
I once asked my dad to read it for me but once he had opened it, he just had frowned and instead of reading it to me, he had thrown this book into the trashcan. Wondering why he got me this book without checking it twice.
It was a dark fantasy fairytale that wasn't a five year old appropriate but my little as. Could only see his sparkle.
This book had my friend, my one and only friend.
How can I let it throw on a trashcan but my dad still doesn't know about how I stole the book back from the trash once he had fallen asleep.
Thus, I learned I couldn't make my dad read it for me and I couldn't read back then myself, I used to read it every night by those paintings printed inside the book. Guessing the story every night.
The small blonde boy running in the forest, gathered by wolves until that taller dark man appeared behind the boy. The wolves bowed down in front of that peculiar charming creature and began to run away. Scared of him.
The boy turned to look up at that uncanny man, the man raised his big hand to the boy's beautiful face as if he was mesmerized by the boy's existence but when the boy hugged the man's legs, he pushed the boy away and disappeared.
A new morning into the book and that blonde boy was running in the forest again, following a sparrow while holding some berries, just wanted to share his food with the sparrow and make him his friend.
The sparrow sit by the boy's palm to eat but once it was done it refused to be friends with the boy and flew away to sit ona tree, mocking the boy, making the small boy to began crying until a big harsh rock got hit to the sparrow and the sparrow was thrown on the floor drenched in its own blood.
A huge hand with long black sharp nails lifted the dead sparrow from the ground and extended it gently towards the blonde boy who looked up at that same man in dark clothes. That man kneeled down to the boy with the sparrow raised to him, making everything on the forest to bow down to the boy along.
He gave him the sparrow, even if it was dead. Who cares? The boy wanted that sparrow and he gave him that. Because at the end of the day, the boy wanted it. But now, the boy didn't want the sparrow anymore. The blonde boy smiled back to the monstrous creature and hugged his waist with his small hands.
In the end, The taller fellow always takes the boy's hand and take him away into a darker world. A darker version of the same forest. Into a haunting world. His world. But everything shines there for the boy. Where the boy could do anything he loves.
And that's how a dark and monstrous creature becomes the guardian of an innocent lonely boy. A friend. His everything.
S.I.R.E was written on that demon and I thought it was his name. I once asked dad what those alphabets pronounce like and he told me the alphabets made a word that sounded 'Sire'.
I asked my dad what it meant and he told me that it meant a 'King/Lord'. It meant, he was the Lord of that dark forest.
I stood by my open window with the book close to my heart. Dreaming. Being a boy, I should have dreamed to become a pilot, doctor or even boring, a cop, like my dad. My dad says girls like cops so, I should grow up to be a policeman as well but I wanted to be that blonde beautiful boy waiting for a mysterious monster with a kind heart. Maybe, he could be my friend without mocking me for the way I was.
I placed my small hands on the windowsill and looked up at the moon hanging by the night sky.
(Think the window is open and Taehyung is standing in front of the window)
Baby Taehyung
Please send him sooner to me.
I wished upon the sky for a handsome, tall demon with dark hair like in the book. Who would take my hand and take me into his beautiful world, where he will make everyone bow in front of me and I could have anything I like.
I left my book by the windowsill every night in hope that one night, My Sire would come out of that book with the magic of the book.
So, with my hopes high, i happily climbed up my bed to fall asleep with my dinosaur plushie. But I always pretend that it's a soft furry teddy bear.
But how am I supposed to recognise My demon friend when he comes for me? That thought made my baby brain stay wide awake.
But wait, he has long demonic horns, black vicious eyeless eyes with black long nails, right?
Baby Taehyung
Black nails...
I mumbled to myself and fell into a deep slumber
