my heavy heart (is too much for you)

Description

There in the grey land near the sea, lived a quiet man named Do Kyungsoo in the gloomy mansion of his late father. With him lived his butterflies, old vinyl records, dusty furniture, his little dog, his box full of ribbons and his heavy heart. When I had first set foot in his house with the objective of interviewing him about the life he had chosen for himself, I never thought I would fall in love with all that.

 

-my heavy heart-
  
  
  
-is too much for you-



There is a wooden box on his night stand that he always caresses before going to sleep. There are butterflies in his garden who always find their way back to his gloomy mansion. There are scars on his hands from the wars he has fought. There is a barren land under his name in the east side of the river where nothing grows. There are walls around his heart he has built for ten years now, his only friend tells me. The curious nature of my job forces me to pry; as much as I want to leave this man alone, I cannot. The chance to interview the only remaining family of my country's hero doesn't come by often. So I stay in this mansion, falling in love with him, while he silently stalls...charmingly stalls. And I can only watch as he plays me around on his palm. It is perfectly alright if he doesn't want to tell me anything.

As you have already gathered, I cannot write to you the date of my return as I myself am not sure. I rather like it, living with him and learning the names of his butterflies. The interview is much like the last thing on my mind these days.

love,
Dasom

 author's notes:
This one's gonna be short and I promise I'll finish it.
The whole design of the foreward was me trying to make my stuff as aesthetic as Rosa's
and I think I haven't done much of a great job but heh i like it!
I went on a gif hunt and these are all I got. Thank you to all the beautiful people who made these beautiful gifs. I'm using them but these are definitely not mine.
I am publishing this story now so that I can request for a poster at flowingalis's store

FIRST OF ALL, MRS SHAKESPEARE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING MY EARS AND MIND. I WANTED THIS ENGLISH AND SYNTAX SO BAD TO CLEANSE MY EYES AND SOUL ( I WILL TELL YOU WHY IN DISCORD 😭)

DASOM'S FATHER... EXCUJE ME, PAPA, I WANT TO HAVE A ZOOM MEETING WITH YOU IF POSSIBLE CAUSE I WANNA END THE CALL WITH YOUR FACE SO YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO HEAR SOMEONE SPEAK COMPLETELY. AND I WISH YOU TREAT DASOM BETTER. and i will never forgive you for guilt-tripping my girl with her late mother's wish. like f u, hag.

I LOVED THE GRAYING PART SO MUCH LIKE I COULD RELATE TO IT WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED IN MY LIFE SINCE YOUNG T-T THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SIR AS MUCH AS I WANT TO THRIST TRAP OVER YOUR LIL DIALOGUES, THIS IS A TRAGEDY AND KINDA FANTASY BOOK SO I WILL JUST RESPECT YOU FOR BEING COOL TO DASOM AND WANTING TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER AND OHO AS WELL AS FOR KILLING HER CURIOSITY MORE BY TALKING ABOUT DOH ;) you scored points mistah

Chapter 7: Interesting. Taeyong and his father weren’t being fair im the way they tried to control Dasom’s life. She already has things she used to love that she can’t do and now they trie to dictate on how she should lead her life. That was just too much. I’m glad that at least Jeno didn’t treat her the same as her other family members. And Jongin being helpful to her eventhough they had just literally met a few times was quite endearing too. Now I wonder how Kyungsoo learnt about her to specifically ask her to be the interviewer. And Chanyeol’s role in this story is still a mystery. I’d like to applaud her efforts along with Jongin and probably Jeno too for making it possible for her to go out of the house.
Thank you for the first chapter..! I’ll be sure to anticipate the next update too.
