Winter City!
A boy, aged 19, is currently travelling to a place where he has never been.. never heard of.. never dreamt of.. and definitely where he never wants to live.. and yet he is closing all the gaps between him and the city..
His big doe eyes.. blinks constantly at the small shady trees at the either side of the road.. the entire place is silent and deserted as if no life ever lived there..
The boy looks through the front glass of the car.. a mountain filled with snow stands tall before his path..
Euphoria.. is visible on the world map.. like a tiny dot.. far away from the world.. as if it was separated or snatched away from natural live..
Jeon Jungkook
I am Jeon Jungkook..
Gguk looks ahead at the moors that is hiding due to the green wild bushes covering the borders of the road.. this is all so new to him.. he feels a little nervous but the excitement inside him gets better of him..
Jeon Jungkook
I am currently travelling to a place I have no idea.. ever really existed..
Jeon Jungkook
(Chuckles to himself)
Jeon Jungkook
This name has become my identity only since a week now..
Jeon Jungkook
Every time, I pronounce this name.. I get a tingling feeling of warmth.. a garden filled with fairy flies.. enchanted frogs.. flowery skies and colourful lands.. it has warmth.. but mysteries overpowering the name..
Jeon Jungkook
I know it’s all my imagination.. fairies.. enchantments and glittery world is only possible in books like”Alice in the wonderland” (chuckles more)
Jeon Jungkook
I was told that.. euphoria lies just on the other side of that mountain..
Jeon Jungkook
Even from far.. I can feel that the mountain is white violent..
Jeon Jungkook
It’s so bright..
Jeon Jungkook
I am not going to lie..
Jeon Jungkook
I am very nervous in the moment as I reach closer to euphoria
Jeon Jungkook
A week ago.. only I found out that euphoria is my home..
Jeon Jungkook
I am born in France.. and my entire life was that place..
Jeon Jungkook
That was my reality.. I always felt like it.. but sadly no..
Jeon Jungkook
I was fogged with a new life as I stripped away from my actual life..
Jeon Jungkook
A week ago..
Jeon Jungkook
A man wearing all black suit and a Shiney tie.. I literally felt that the tie was choking the man it was so tightly placed against his neck..
Jeon Jungkook
But the man looked just comfortable and fine in his attire..
Jeon Jungkook
I was a little scared of the man.. since he looked more like ninetees and somewhat criminal type..
Jeon Jungkook
But soon.. I realised.. that man was not even closest.. to the chills I was going to feel further..
Jeon Jungkook
The man wheeled a woman with him.. an old lady, probably in her late ninetees..
Jeon Jungkook
Her first words to me was that she was my great grandma..
Jeon Jungkook
The last elder of jeon..
Jeon Jungkook
I am an orphaned.. I stayed in an orphanage which was situated in France.. however... we were strictly prohibited to call it an orphanage.. it was a children home.. and that’s what we were allowed to call it..
Jeon Jungkook
My home.. every child’s home..
Jeon Jungkook
Life there was really fun and just like how it should be for children... I guess.. the fact that we all were parentless and abandoned.. made us really humble, understanding and caring towards each other.. we all grew up happily.. living the life of playground, laughters and innocence..
Jeon Jungkook
I also met my best friend Yugyeom there..
Jeon Jungkook
We were partners in crime..
Jeon Jungkook
Usually.. a child over there would be adopted at an early age.. however.. i and Yugyeom were really not even the top ten picks of those parents who visited the children home...
Jeon Jungkook
This made me and my friend grew stronger and closer together.. we are very protective of each other.. and also, Yugyeom is the only one I trust and called as family..
Jeon Jungkook
Anyways..the entire orphanage was mostly strict.. however.. that never stopped me and Yugyeom from sneaking out late night and explore France.. we danced, laughed, lived, filled with optimism and were wild..
Jeon Jungkook
However, As I sat in the family meeting room of my children home..
Jeon Jungkook
I attentively listened to the old lady who calls herself my only family..
Jeon Jungkook
The man with her was the butler of Jeon empire in Euphoria..
Jeon Jungkook
The more I listened.. the more I felt myself being numb and my mind going blank..
Jeon Jungkook
That day.. I found out a lot about my lost past..
Jeon Jungkook
My mother Snow Hazel.. she was a jeon.. hated euphoria and practically begged her family to study abroad.. France was her dream destination.. however.. she got pregnant very early.. at around 20 years of age..
Jeon Jungkook
I was the product of my mother’s true love with a man named Adam Perterson.. Yeah.. I am half English and half Korean..
Jeon Jungkook
But sadly.. my biological father died before marrying my mother.. she was a mess and a loner.. she wasn’t ready to take care of me.. because she was damn sure.. she would do a fcking bad job in it..
Jeon Jungkook
I came to know.. she died soon after my birth and abandoning me to the children home..
Jeon Jungkook
I was angry.. very angry.. I wanted to scream at the old lady.. I wanted to shout at her that she is lying.. I am just an orphaned.. I was born like poof and I really didn’t want to know any memory of my parents.. life was easier not knowing about them..
Jeon Jungkook
But I couldn’t show the old lady my anger.. she looked so weak and sad.. and at the same time shed happy tears of finding me..
Jeon Jungkook
She kissed me all over my face.. hugged me tightly.. cried in my arms and kissed me more.
Jeon Jungkook
For some reason.. I couldn’t push her away.. I can feel she deeply regrets of missing out most my teenage life..
Jeon Jungkook
That old lady found me.. while she was searching for her grand daughter.. sadly.. she was faced with a bitter truth.. that I was the only one left as a Jeon apart from her
Jeon Jungkook
Nevertheless.. her joy was really immense to find her great grand son..
Jeon Jungkook
That day.. she took a promise from me.. a promise that I feel will change my life drastically either for good or bad.. I really have no idea..time can only tell..
Jeon Jungkook
She begged me to return back to euphoria.. I Ofcorse said no at first... I wasn’t comfortable and all forgiving after knowing how I was abandoned and how my life could have been better.. how I could have had a family..
Jeon Jungkook
But the old lady was determined.. and I wasn’t going to be an arse by being a cold hearted unforgiver..
Jeon Jungkook
I saw the sincerity in that old lady.. I forgave her but didn’t agree to live in euphoria
Jeon Jungkook
She left the children home empty handed as I was completely sure about my decision
Jeon Jungkook
However.. later that night.. The father of the children home visited me.. with a news that both my great grandma and the butler met with an accident and they died instantly..
Jeon Jungkook
My great grandma gave everything that was owned as Jeon to me..I am the last of the Jeons now..
Jeon Jungkook
I was hesitant but I couldn’t ignore a dead woman’s wish.. she was so hopeful.. my friend Yugyeom also put some sense into me.:
Jeon Jungkook
Euphoria is where my home is.. so I should return to it.. I have lived a life of being a lost child.. I realised I needed to be home..
Jeon Jungkook
Although.. I am still not sure.. that euphoria is my home.. but deep down.. I really want to know my real life.. feel the essence of my real family..
Jeon Jungkook
So yeah.. here I am on a path.. which I am completely uncertain of..
Gguk was so lost in his thoughts.. that he didn’t realise that his car has entered the mountains.. his car now takes turns after turns as trees standing tall like a wall hiding him.. making him look really small..
As far as, gguk’s eyes could lay.. all he can see is snow.. wetness and mist..
Jk rolled down the window shield.. he took a deep breath.. inhaling the fresh air..
Jeon Jungkook
This place looks unbelievably long and cold..
Jeon Jungkook
Bitter cold to be precise..
Jeon Jungkook
As I feel closer to euphoria..
Jeon Jungkook
I realise.. that the mountain which hides the city., is undisturbed.. deep and opaque
Jk was snapped back to reality.. when the driver spoke to him..
Driver: Sire, you might want to close the windows..
Jeon Jungkook
Why? (Curious)
Drivers: This mountain is home to many dangerous animals.. and right now we are a ready meal for them..:
Jeon Jungkook
What? (Eyes widen and gasps in shock)
Jeon Jungkook
(Closed the window shield immediately)
Jeon Jungkook
Is this how euphoria will also be like.? (watched over the Christmas like huge tree on the roads covered in snow)
Driver: No sire.. Euphoria is the bestest place.. it’s just so peaceful and hidden in these mountains... nothing like the harsh coldness that you are seeing right now..
Jeon Jungkook
When do you get spring here? (More curious)
Driver: Uhm, actually sire.. Euphoria never has spring..
Jeon Jungkook
What? (Amazed now)
Jeon Jungkook
No warmth, you mean.. (sighs sadly)
Driver: sire, we do have vegetation here but only on some specific lands.. and bornfires are part of our daily lives..
Driver: There were times when the place was free of cold and snow.. but in the history it is said.. euphoria one day lost all its warmth.. sun shines but doesn’t give that bright glow over here.. snow, winter, rains and cold is what actually describes euphoria now and has been for centuries..
Gguk nods.. suddenly feeling not so excited about the place he is going to call as his home..
Jeon Jungkook
*I hate winter*
Jeon Jungkook
*I am such a fan of spring.. always makes me happy*
Jeon Jungkook
*I am now not sure whether I am going to be enjoying this place*
Driver: Sire, we have reached the main entrance of euphoria.. You can take a glimpse from here..
Gguk looks ahead.. they have parked near a cliff..
He gets down of the car.. and walks closer to the cliff..
His eyes glistened showing the tint of snow in his pupils as well as he watches euphoria..
The city from above looks like great, covered in silver hair and polished in cold from every corner
Jeon Jungkook
Euphoria (whispers to himself and says with an overwhelmed breath)
After taking a brief moment of euphoria.. jk clicked the place in his mind like a photo frame..
He then got back inside his car and the driver drove further downside towards the city..
However, after couple of minutes.. Jk’s car stopped at a ferry station..
Driver: Sire, to enter euphoria, we will have to take the ferry.. this is the only entrance..
Jk nods and he feels his car get inside a ferry..
The ferry is constructed to carry heavy vehicles and people..
Jeon Jungkook
This lake.. feels like a fountain of life.. a fountain of potion that quenches euphoria’s thirst..
Jeon Jungkook
Even though this place is called euphoria
Jeon Jungkook
I would say it ‘Winter City’
