You are my sweetest downfall (I loved you first )

Description

"If he’s lucky, he’ll die before he comes of age."

Jungkook remembered hearing these words whilst sitting in a dingy, abandoned room with two figures looming over him.

Counting days until and after coming of age, it dawned upon him that the words were true and unfortunately, he wasn't lucky.


Based on the lyrics of Samson by Regina Spektor.

Warning: Story contains strong language that can be offensive. I must add that this warning should NOT be taken lightly.

The story discusses some religious elements but does not mention or does not indicate towards any particular religion practiced in real life. I've kept the discussion of religion quite straightforward and this entire story is set in an unnamed world that is a figment of my imagination. So while the religions discussed are not completely independent of the general idea of religion, they are also imaginary. For the sake of the story, a certain party is dubbed as antagonists but I do not hold the belief that the same applies in real life.

Foreword

 


You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

I have to go, I have to go

Your hair was long when we first met

 

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed

And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us

And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

 

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

But they're just old light, they're just old light

Your hair was long when we first met

 

Samson came to my bed

Told me that my hair was red

Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed

Oh I cut his hair myself one night

A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

And he told me that I'd done alright

And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light

And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

 

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed

Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down

Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one

And history books forgot about us

And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

 

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first

Chapter 1: I really liked this piece! All those lovely vocabulary words made my day! The content too was interesting and a unique spin on something of that nature! I also enjoyed your characterization of Jin. If he was an aristocratic witch, in such a corrupted world I imagine that is exactly how he would act. I'm just so hurt by Vhope though! :,( I'm glad Namjoon was there to help them.
