If people weren't abandoned again and again , maybe they wouldn't be so insecure all the time. If people weren't cheated on , maybe they would trust others more. If people weren't deprived of love and affection, maybe they would be able to show their emotions more. If people weren't treated so badly , maybe they would care for others too. Maybe if humans were treated as humans , they wouldn't become monsters.
It's not justifying all the bad people. But there are two types of such people. One who chose to be evil and the other was forced to be evil. If you keep breaking a person again and again , at their lowest point , do you expect them to recover so soon? Do you expect them to forget everything and move on? Do you expect them to never think about it and start living a normal life? No , that won't happen cause you have given them a damage for lifetime.
No matter how much you hear that it's ok to make mistakes , that it's okay to fail because you'll learn from it , it's not okay. The people around you will always remind you of it. Isn't that how the world works? Just like how one mistake covers all the hard work and good work you did , one good thing suddenly makes all your wrongdoings small. Isn't that unfair?
If you're real , you're clear what the things you say instead of sugarcoating it , you're a bad person.
If a person who's forced to be bad realizes his mistakes and wants to be good now , he/she tries but don't we keep reminding of bad they are. Don't we keep forcing them to back to that hell? If someone is going through a bad time , we just it will pass with time , they will get better when they grow , aren't we just making it worse? Aren't we making it worse by taking their sufferings so lightly? You never know what a person can do when they are at their lowest. Anything that makes them feel a little free, they do it whether it's good or bad. You let them continue it instead of helping them. That's the first mistake of yours.
Jungkook was right now lying on the muddy ground staring at the night sky which wasn't covered by clouds and he could see the twinkling starts clearly. Everyone was asleep by now but he couldn't sleep so he came out of his house , out in the open and lied down without any discomfort. He raised his left hand up , reaching towards the night sky.
Jeon Jungkook
Atleast the sky doesn't differentiate , on whom to provide the calming shelter.
Jeon Jungkook
The stars don't differentiate , for whom they should shine.
Jeon Jungkook
The wind doesn't differentiate , on who's misery should it take away.
Jeon Jungkook
They say if heroes die , they become the stars shining in that sky. Is it same for us too?
Jeon Jungkook
Do we also reach there? Do we also get a place to be in the light and get the chance to be admired by everyone?
Jeon Jungkook
Or do we become the dark clouds which cover those shining stars and the moon, getting admired by no one?
Jeon Jungkook
Living in darkness, dying in darkness and being stuck in darkness forever. That's how it is right?
It's not like Jungkook didn't try to run away , to get away from this darkness and dirt which slowly covered his whole body. He tried to get out of the mud a lot , but he was pushed back in here each time. He was sinking deeper and deeper in this mud but he still reached out his hand , wishing for someone to catch and pull him out of this scary place but no one came. No one wanted to get their hands muddy too while pulling Jungkook up so they all backed off and watched him sinking fully in that mud and then , there was no escape for Jungkook.
It's only fair if he shows them how deep he has drowned, how dirty he has gotten and how deeply the darkness has effected him.
Jeon Jungkook
(He puts his hand down and looks at his side to see Jimin standing there, looking down at him)
Jeon Jungkook
Why are you not asleep?
Park Jimin
Aren't you cold? (he asked back , trying to avoid the previous question)
Jeon Jungkook
No. (looks at the sky again)
Park Jimin
(he nods at that and then sits down beside Jungkook on his right side)
Park Jimin
(he wraps his arms around himself as he too looks up) What are you thinking about, Kookie?
Jeon Jungkook
Hyung , my thoughts won't ease down your inner chaos.
Jeon Jungkook
It will only increase it further so do not ask me.
Park Jimin
(On hearing it , he glances at Jungkook, his face all gloomy when he does so) Will it always be like this?
Jeon Jungkook
You've asking this same question every day for years. Say hyung , will it always be like this?
Jeon Jungkook
Even our wishes are seen as curses.
Park Jimin
(he gulps down the lump in his throat as his eyes moisten. He closes his eyes for a second and a drop of tear rolls down, he opens his eyes now.)
Park Jimin
(he then shifts and lies down next to Jungkook, moving a bit he places his head on Kook's chest and hugs him, closing his eyes) I couldn't sleep.
Jeon Jungkook
(he wraps his arm around Jimin , holding him) I know.
[The scene being similar to this]
Park Jimin
They keep on appearing. (whispers) I didn't want to wake anyone up that's why I came here.
Jeon Jungkook
Should've worn something warm from outside, hyung. You get sick easily. (he rubs Jimin's back after warming his hand by the fire)
Jeon Jungkook
Sleep. If they appear again , I will take you back to your place okay.
Jeon Jungkook
(he hums a tune to help Jimin fall asleep which seems to work after a while. He stays like that with an asleep Jimin in his arms as he stays awake the whole time.)

I am saying this beforehand. Most of the chapters might seem melancholic which is due the pot. This book has angst a lot which I will try to make good , back stories of every character will be explored along with their relationships. This is a long ride , my darlings 💜
