Euphoric Home!
Oh you abundance of earth..
What have you thou beneath..
The skies never fails to fade..
The soil never fails to relive
The ocean takes me away.. sweeps me off my sanity..
Oh you, motherly love.. what have you thou beneath
I see everything bright and good..
Yet... a shiver sends me chills knowing I am at the surface of nothingness
You are a mystery.. a beautiful pain
Oh you mother barren.. who gives birth..
What have you thou beneath..
Jeon Jungkook
What have you thou beneath (whispers those words)
Gguk reads out a string of words as he stands before the entrance of a huge house.. mixture of oak woods, hard cemented concrete and oil paint.. smell is all that he can engulf
Jeon Jungkook
This is going to be my home... (talks to himself)
The words were written on the door of the house.. it’s such a strange thing.. who writes barren mother who gives birth on their door, gguk thinks to himself..
Gguk was about to knock on the door.. but it opened on its own before even he could touch it
Jeon Jungkook
*That’s spooky*
A woman in her mid 30s stand before gguk.. she is wearing a traditional hanbok.. she smiles lightly at gguk who gives an awkward smile.. gguk is still processing the essence of this place euphoria
Hwang Sora
Hello sire.. I am the maid of Jeon house.. (bows before gguk)
Hwang Sora
Please come in.. (Actions her hands gracefully to welcome gguk)
Jeon Jungkook
Uhm.. yeah right.. Uhm.. okay..
Gguk walks inside the house.. it has dim lights everywhere.. but the cold sun rays are already enough to ignite the place..
Gguk walks a little further and the maid takes his bags.. at first, he was hesitant since she looked no stronger than him.. and he has a lot of baggage.. He got everything that he owned in France with him..
But nevertheless gguk gave up since she looked determined..
Hwang Sora
I will keep your bags once you select a room for yourself.. (says humbly)
Hwang Sora
Would you like a tour of the Jeon empire first..
Oh yes.. that’s what gguk wanted to do desperately.. if he is going to stay here for god knows how many years.. then gguk might as well get accustomed to the place..
Jeon Jungkook
Yes please.. I would really like that.. (says gently)
Hwang Sora
Yes sire.. come please.. (bows again)
Jeon Jungkook
What’s your name by the way?
Hwang Sora
Oh I am so sorry.. I didn’t introduce myself before
Hwang Sora
I am Hwang sora..
Jeon Jungkook
Hwang? I have heard of this name before (tried to think about the name)
Hwang Sora
Yes.. my father Hwang Chi Len was the butler of the Jeons.. it was he who visited with our lady Jeon Gyunghui to your orphanage in France
Jeon Gyunghui is gguk’s great grandma who visited him in the orphanage
Jeon Jungkook
It’s actually called children home.. (says out of habit)
Jeon Jungkook
I am sorry for your loss.. (says humbly)
Hwang Sora
I am sorry too..
Jeon Jungkook
Why aren’t there much people around here?
Hwang Sora
That’s because there aren’t any left..
Hwang Sora
My family has been the traditional servant of Jeons.. I am the last of my family..
Hwang Sora
And so are you..
Hwang Sora
We have a driver who got you here as well..
Jeon Jungkook
That’s strange..
Jeon Jungkook
Don’t I have uncles or aunts.. cousins.. anyone? (Curious)
Hwang Sora
No sire.. I am sorry..
Gguk had to stop talking because he sees sora has stopped as well..
Hwang Sora
This is your living room..
Jeon Jungkook
It’s very big.. (says more like to himself)
They walked a little further.. and took a turn.. which led them to the dining table..
Jeon Jungkook
Those are a lot of chairs for two people.. (amazed)
Hwang Sora
Actually that’s just for you.. we don’t sit with our masters..
Jeon Jungkook
It’s so lonely then here..
Hwang Sora
You can always redecorate it..
Hwang Sora
This house is yours now..
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah.. (sighs and said like a whisper)
They walked further more.. this time gguk stopped abruptly before a large wall which had pictures of so many people.. he recognised one picture.. it was his great grandma.. sora stood behind him..
Hwang Sora
That’s Jeon family before you..
Jeon Jungkook
I recognise my great grandma..
Hwang Sora
Yes.. she was head of this house before you..
Sora understood that gguk wants to know more about his family.. so she continued to speak further..
She stood before two men wearing a traditional hanbok.. both men had mustache and long hair..
Hwang Sora
That’s Jeon Kyuhyun your grandfather
Hwang Sora
His wife Jeon Chija (points at the portrait below kyuhyun)
Then she points out at the other man..
Hwang Sora
That’s Jeon Sang Cheol.. he is your great grand father..
And finally she went to a portrait of a young woman..
That painting stood out from all other member of Jeons.. the woman wore an artistic clothes and a hat larger than her head.. she was standing amidst flowers and a moon shined behind her brightly..
Hwang Sora
That’s your mother Jeon Haebaragi..
Jeon Jungkook
But my mother’s name was snow hazel.. (confused now)
Hwang Sora
That was when she moved to France.. she changed her name as snow hazel to get along with the people there
Hwang Sora
This painting was made before she left euphoria..
Jeon Jungkook
Is that so! (Nods)
Gguk has nil memory of his family.. so he is neither sad nor happy.. he is neutral and just takes the information to know about his family but there is no attachment between him and the other Jeons
But gguk also noticed that this house is pretty old.. and there are only three generations of Jeons revealed.. forth being Ofcorse him..
But nevertheless.. this place is already mysterious enough for gguk to even think about his family history..
He walks further and sora does the same
Hwang Sora
This is your kitchen..
Jeon Jungkook
It’s quite modern..
Hwang Sora
(Chuckles) yes we have latest facilities..
Jeon Jungkook
Thank god..
They explore the other part of the house..
Jeon Jungkook
Uhm.. can I ask you something?
Jeon Jungkook
Why is there written barren mother who gives birth on the front door of the house
Hwang Sora
It’s a rememberance of Jeons..
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t understand
Hwang Sora
The Jeons have a history of early deaths
Hwang Sora
The mothers would die soon after giving birth..
Hwang Sora
Your great grandma was the only one to survive for a long period of time and she witnessed her great grandson as well..(looks at gguk and smiles fondly this time)
Hwang Sora
The husbands were unlucky too.. they would die few months after Jeon women conceived
Jeon Jungkook
So i will die if I have a lover and she is pregnant? (Shocked)
Hwang Sora
I don’t know sire.. I mean.. look at your great grandma.. she lived quite a lot.. so it’s not probably for every Jeon..
Jeon Jungkook
Or maybe only for some unlucky Jeon.. (says sadly)
Hwang Sora
Don’t think about it sire.. I am sure that’s not the case with you..
Hwang Sora
Anyways.. so that’s why It says barren mother.. which means Jeon is a barren.. who conceives and gives birth and yet.. Looses a life..
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t believe in it..
Jeon Jungkook
I will set my own fate.. (says fiercely)
Hwang Sora
I am glad sire.. (smiles)
Hwang Sora
Let me show you to your room..
Hwang Sora
There are three vacant rooms here.. since every other room has a memory of respective family member.. so we just preserve it with their things..
Jeon Jungkook
That’s nice..
Jeon Jungkook
Let’s go.. I am tired anyways..
Jeon Jungkook
I had no idea.. it was going to take an entire day to reach here..
Hwang Sora
Yeah.. euphoria is really at the bottom of the earth..
The more longer gguk stays in euphoria.. the more he gets an entangled vibe with the place..and he doesn’t like the feeling..
Sora walked in and showed three rooms to gguk..
Surprisingly, gguk selected a much darker shade room..
Soon his things were placed in the room and he got settled in..
Sora got busy in preparing supper for the sire of Jeon..
It was already evening time..
Gguk stood near the window and looked at the darker shade of skies which are colouring euphoria in to further darkness
Gguk had his supper which was like a warm brandy quenching the coldness in his body..
He walked back to his room..
He couldn’t stop himself from watching the euphoria night sky now.
Gguk went and removed his diary.. trying to write the first memory of euphoria..
Jeon Jungkook
Is it wrong to feel strange and still be so connected with this unknown place..
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t understand what connects me with this place..
Jeon Jungkook
The snow here is whalebone white.. the sound is battering gusts.. the wind screeches dreadfully.. the land here is clocked in greyness.. the skies are pale and lost as mists covers it entirely.. weather here is winter squeezing my throat to the point it itches to me... my room has a peppery and wooden smell.. and yet, vegetables here are delicious..
Jeon Jungkook
(Sighs and stops writing)
Jeon Jungkook
I am going to begin my university from next week.. since I need to finish my education as well.. Sora says there is only one university over here and I am ready to enrol in it..
