Melody of the Sea
Description
For his whole life, Taekwoon was told that humans were filthy being. But he was curious, so much that it pulled him to take a peek to the surface. Wonshik was just a simple man, but his whole life changed when he found the beautiful man almost drowning at the shore.
Foreword
Crossposted from AO3
Angst with happy ending. Warning: attempted suicide.
Also including one-sided Taekwoon->Hakyeon, and Hakyeon x female character.
The poem used to reference Hakyeon's dance in the video Wonshik showed to Taekwoon was taken from the second half of the poem "Aku Ingin" (I want) by Sapardi Djoko Damono.
Full poem in its original language (Indonesian):
Aku Ingin
Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan
kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu
Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan
awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada
English translation by John H. McGlynn:
I want
I want to love you simply
In words not spoken :
Tinder to the flame which transforms it to ash
I want to love you simply
In signs not expressed :
Clouds to the rain which make them evanesce
