NEW MOON

 

If you go to the sea but suffer a shipwreck, just pray to the Goddess of the Moon, she will grant her believers whatever is requested.

That's why every year in the temple, the statue of the Moon has the most people kneeling and praying. 

 

Little do they know, only the Goddess of the Moon can cease the anger of Poseidon, the God of the Sea.

In the morning, the sun rises, brings light and hope to the world.

In the evening, the sun sets before the moon rises, brings peace and represents the end of the day.

Every day is the same.

 

Poseidon, one of the three Great Ancient Gods, watched the sun and the moon alternated every day below the sky. 

Ensuring the circle of life was his duty.

A duty that he did not want to be responsible for.

The night was his favorite and most anticipated moment every day.

He stretched up his hand yearningly, trying to reach for the bright moon that he could never touch in his life.

He hated his identity down to the marrow of his bones.

How ironic was that when the god who was always envied by others was actually hated nothing but himself the most?

He had no choice of his birth, his identity.

Because of hatred, he became scanty of words.

Because of hatred, he became as cold as marble and had a stony heart which everyone feared.

The wind was what he jealous of the most. As being a free spirit, the wind could be footloose and fancy-free.

The wind could pursue its love freely, which the sea could not.

However, as the Great Ancient God, he was bounded by the responsibilities of his identity.

His responsibilities were too huge. 

Without the wind, the world could still be able to operate for a while.

But without the water, all lives perished in an instant. 

 

If only he and she were not two parallel lines that never had a chance to cross with each other. 

 

If only she was not up at the sky, and he was not down in the water.

 

If only she was not the moon, and he was not the sea. 

 

If only. 

 

Kim Taehyung once thought that he could be satisfied with just watching her reflection in the water every day. 

 

However, everyone in the world is greedy, and God is no exception.

 

Ever since the last time he saw her in person at the Goddess of Wind Ceremony, he found that he was no longer satisfied with only her reflection in the water. 

 

His desire for her was growing. 

 

From just staring at her reflection in the water, 

 

to see her in person, 

 

to hold her in his arms, 

 

to kiss her, 

 

to make her his, 

 

to never let her go. 

 

At that moment, his eyes were on the rose bouquet placed inside his bedroom. 

The bouquet was made from fifteen black roses, and the new Goddess of Wind gave it on the day he participated in her ceremony.

With Taehyung's personality, he would never receive this kind of thing, but the silver ribbon of the bouquet resembled the silver moonlight, which reminded him of you.

Normally, he would never attend any party or ceremony, but he showed up anyway because he knew you like going to mirthful and boisterous places like this. 

And because he would never let go of any chance to see you.

Even if just from afar. 

 

The silver ribbon from the bouquet flashed and emitted a beautiful silver light. 

 

Sometimes, fate comes so suddenly that two parallel lines will also intersect one day. 

 

That night, there was a burst of fire in the sky. Its orange light shone and lighted up the whole sky from the dark. 

 

Just then, the moon suddenly fell vertically and straightly from the sky into the sea.

 

Everything was happening so unexpectedly. 

 

This is the first time that the moon has disappeared from the sky.

 

This is the first time the moon cannot be found in the sky by the people underneath. 

 

This is also the very first time that two parallel lines intersect. 

 

 

 

 

Because you fell into the arms of the sea just like this. 

 

 

 

 

And Kim Taehyung just thought he could never have you in his arms, found his wish had been granted so suddenly.

Every year, you and Apollo would fight for the most number of believers together. 

And this year was no exception. 

"Jungkook, my believers are finally more than yours!"

A god would only call out another god's name, but not their appellation if they are closed with each oth
