The Bright Green Caterpillar and the Flock of Butterflies

Description

 

a bright green caterpillar

 

and a flock of beautiful butterflies

love

is a flock of butterflies in your stomach
lifting you up so that you fly away into the sky


but kim minseok has yet to come out of her cocoon

maybe one day she will be a butterfly, too

kim minseok

"it was too late by the time she started noticing the empty seats at her lunch table and a summer passed without any human interaction."

 

"she doesn't remember much before 16.  strike that, she doesn't remember anything.  but it doesn't bother her, because she's ceased to care."

exo-10

Luhan "there are many stones to step on before you can cross the river"

sehun "everything is mine and there is nothing i don't have"

jongin "the world moves too fast for me to keep up"

 

jongdae  "it's no use making friends because i will leave them anyway"

 

chanyeol  "i just want the people around me to be happy"

 

yixing  "my life is expired.  i'm just waiting for my fellow angels to accept me home"

 

joonmyeon  "i'm sure i know her from somewhere"

 

baekhyun  "it was simple.  now everything is messed up."

 

kyungsoo  "i'm running fast, but i have no clue where i'm going"

 

zitao  "parents can be the reason for their child's demise"

ahn sohee and kim heechul

heechul  "no matter how much i seem like a superhero, i am not.  i am human, and i definitely have a breaking point.

sohee  "my whole life i was lied to.  is it still worth living this life?"

Foreword

metamorphosis

what is my dream?

what would i do if i ruled the world?

 

i want big houses, limousines, money?

i want love, fame, a family?

 

no

 

i just want to be safe

steady, strong

no risk involved

 

my eyes have adjusted to this world that others deem grey and colorless

my heart has adjusted to this life that others deem pathetic and meaningless

the bright sunlight outside frightens me

scorches me

blinds me

 

caterpillars become beautiful butterflies after metamorphosis

but what if they just don't come out?

butterflies can get eaten, killed

falling to the ground no matter how high they are with a simple snap of broken wings

broken dreams

 

i am content in my cocoon

i just want to be safe

 

the bright sunlight outside is too far away for me
